# Tiny Frontiers: Revised *Created:* 2024-01-16, *Modified:* 2024-01-16 ![[Tiny Frontiers Revised (cover).jpg]] The entire genre of space opera, folded small enough to carry — **Tiny Frontiers: Revised** is Gallant Knight Games' sci-fi RPG that treats "big universe, small rules" as the whole point. Species, planets, starships, and fights all run through one light system the book can explain in a few pages, and it's a traditional GM-and-players game rather than a hyper-minimal exercise. The whole thing fits in 167 pages and gets more done than many games three times its size. **Tiny Frontiers: Revised** is essentially the universe in your pocket. It's an RPG that packs the immense scope of space exploration into a minimalist ruleset. The core mechanic revolves around a delightfully simplistic d6 system. Players roll a number of these quaint, six-sided artifacts based on their character's attributes and skills. Rolling a 5 or 6? Congratulations, you've succeeded, possibly making a mark in the cold, indifferent universe. Any other number? Well, it's a vast, unfeeling cosmos; what did you expect? This binary outcome system is refreshingly straightforward, much like flipping a coin, but with just enough complexity to give the illusion of depth.

You've got a diversity of species, a small-scale system, mechanisms for generating scenes on the fly, and even an entire starship creation and combat system. > > All in 167 pages. > > Really, it's quite impressive. ## References - [**Tiny Frontiers: Revised Edition** | Gallant Knight Games](https://www.gallantknightgames.com/tiny-frontiers) - [Tiny Frontiers throws bloated scifi RPG rules out the nearest airlock - RPG Review & Mechanics | YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-MNGwuQ0Ilk) - A YouTube review that discusses how **Tiny Frontiers: Revised** streamlines the sci-fi RPG experience. - [Dan Reviews: Tiny Frontiers Revised | YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5V_etVCZxwI) - Another YouTube review providing insights into the gameplay and mechanics of this minimalist space opera RPG.
