Highmoon Press’s Ioun Star Quickstart now available

My good friend Erik Ortiz has released the quickstart for Ioun Star, a space opera setting of “High Magitech Adventures”. I’m very excited for this, and the full game release.

“You Are The Shield

The Nothingness draws nigh.

It spreads from the edges of reality, tendrils of voidspace seeding negaspheres like spores to every world it encounters to spread corruption, leaving legions of mindless voidthralls in its wake. Where it meets willing acceptance, it anoints entropicists to wield the power of the void.

The Nothingness is coming.

And you are the shield.

You are a heroic bulwark of light, empowered with an ioun stone to smite the darkness and rebuff the void.

You are the hope of the universe, heir to fabled Jedda—the Ioun Star—and embodiment of syntropy.

You are a Jeddan Knight, the shield against the Nothingness.

And you will not fail.”

Welcome to IOUN STAR, a space opera setting of Heroic Magitech Adventures.

In this Quickstart, you can find an introduction to the setting and its core principles; the Heroes section showcasing the Jeddan Knights and more; the Magitech section, which introduces items, suits, and vehicles powered by ioun crystals; and the Adventure section, with information on the galaxy and some adversaries for your heroes.

The book present tips and suggestions for using the setting with your favorite d20-based game, and includes rules material built using the spirit of the BECMI version of d20 games.

The IOUN STAR Quickstart gives you enough to start your battle against the Nothingness. As the book grows, you will receive updated versions until the final game is released.

So, Jeddan Knight: grab your sunblade, hop in your starfighter, and alongside your cadre, fight the forces of the void.
