Coiled.Spæce Press Kit

Æther Corp's revolutionary Jump® Drives bring distant star systems to YOU!

Harvest energy from across our rapidly disintegrating Universe & help us keep YOUR loved ones safe.

What is Coiled.Spæce?

Coiled.Spæce is a lighthearted sci-fi journalling game for 1–4 players.

Responsibilities

Pilot interstellar vessels

Harvest energy

Keep meticulous records

Players are employed as Harvesters by Æther Corp to Jump® around the universe collecting energy from potentially reluctant sources while spacetime distorts & disintegrates around them.

Characters, space-faring vessels, star systems, and interplanetary objects are all quickly generated by rolling full sets of polyhedral dice & developed through in-play prompts.

Benefits

Full training is provided

Company vessel as standard

Free parking

Designed as a pick-up-and-play game, players can Harvest energy from one star system in a half-hour sitting & come back later to spend hours exploring more systems to build up their energy stores over time.

Heavily inspired by the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Paranoia RPG, and working in corporate hellscapes, Coiled.Spæce was conceived as a role-playing game in 2018, grew into a co-op board game in 2019, & was finally brought to life as a solo journaling game (with multi-player options) as part of Kickstarter's 2021 ZineQuest.

It can be played for free by using the rules on www.coiled.space
First edition print+PDF bundles, dice sets & stickers are available on Etsy
Fully bookmarked & ink-friendly PDFs available itch.io, & DriveThruRPG

Designed, developed, written, edited, & illustrated by Luke Earl.
