Teens in Space

Overview

Teens in Space is a science-fiction tabletop roleplaying game about a crew of teenagers running their own starship, designed by Jonathan Gilmour and Doug Levandowski. It was originally published by Hunters Entertainment in partnership with Renegade Game Studios in 2019, with Renegade now publishing the line directly. It's a direct reskin of the pair's own Kids on Bikes system, swapping that game's small-town 1980s mystery setting for space exploration while keeping the underlying rules essentially intact. The system directly evolved from Kids on Bikes, the same designers' small-town mystery RPG, reworked here around a crewed starship rather than a bicycle-riding gang of friends.

Description

Players build teenage crew members from a Trope - Captain, Exiled Royalty, and similar archetypes that set a character's core stats and pose a defining question - paired with a chosen alien species from a long list of options, then take that crew out into a galaxy of malfunctioning ships, first contact, and profit-seeking missions gone sideways.  The Game Master (GM) runs a lightweight system explicitly built to get out of the way: there's no hit-point math to track and no meaningfully different treatment of one piece of gear over another, keeping the focus on the crew's choices and relationships rather than equipment lists or combat math. It's built for a fast, collaborative table - light enough for a first-time player, including kids as young as eight, to pick up and run with immediately.

You ever start a Game of Thrones review podcast and then decide that actually you’d much rather push “publish” on your home TTRPG game instead? No? Just us? Well. We are a strange bunch, it has to be said. We’re a group of good friends, who are sometimes a tad irreverent, all with a passion for storytelling and adventure. After discovering the amazing way that storytelling could come to life through TTRPGs, we further fell in love with the idea of playing out space fantasy stories through the game of Starfinder. Thus, our first full length podcast, the Apollo Protection Agency, was born! The STF Network continues to grow; we now have a our second full AP show, an increasing Twitch presence, specialized talk shows, and exclusive Patreon content. Our library continues to expand along with an amazing community that supports us. Shows Drift Delvers Drifting in the space above Absolom Station, the strange Anomaly Beacon remains a mystery even five years after the Siege on Absalom Station. Shrouded in a force field, top drift scientists have tried to break through to no avail. The Church of Triune is now claiming that this new drift beacon should fall under their domain, claiming it as a mystery belonging to Triune and rumors are starting to swirl that Triune Priests say they are close to breaking through the Anomaly Beacons’ force field, jeopardizing Absalom Stations hold on the object. Councilwoman Rajni has gathered a highly specialized group of scientists - specializing in niche fields with differing perspectives from traditional scholars, will they be able to finally understand the Anomaly Beacon? Things however go vastly awry when the scientist teams ship is waylaid by space pirates and an even more anomalous event than the Beacon sends the team hurtling through space and time - unstuck from reason and logic - and the crew must not only find a way home, but manage to survive long enough to make it there… Apollo Protection Agency Come join the Apollo Protection Agency as they encounter threats across the Pact Worlds! The challenges they face are at times overwhelming, but as the camaraderie between the crew grows, so too does their determination to never back down from a worthy fight. The crew started Season One by tackling AGAINST THE AEON THRONE, brought together by a common friend to come fist-to-face with the Azlanti Star Empire. Season Two gets darker as the crew is unnerved in SIGNAL OF SCREAMS and our adventure takes a bit of a twist in the horror direction. Fear not, our epic crew gets their chance to shine as they rumble their way into DEVASTATION ARK for Season Three! Resident GM, Adam Kelly, guides the rest of the crew through these adventures with an eye for allowing for character relationships to flourish and to let storytelling to take center stage alongside dramatic starship combats and fights that can turn on a dime. Meet memorable characters from the vast reaches of space, cheer as the crew defeats a stubborn foe, and gasp in terror as Adam inflicts terrible, horrible fates upon our favorite characters. It’s a roller coaster of emotions. Come along for the ride! Live and Let Fly STF's own Zac Evans steps behind the screen to GM a crew of misfits and personalities more concerned with earning enough credits for beer and a cheeseburger than they are with saving the galaxy. Under the guidance of their greenhorn captain, Roland Mons Gelidus, the crew get their hands dirty as they wrestle with the hard cases of dangerous trade routes and the weight of the corporate thumb. They'll encounter a wide cast of characters in their pursuit to impress clients and get paid, before the competetion swoop in to take their jobs right out from under them. Strap in for a long haul as Zac leads the crew through the turbulent world of galactic trucking, nebulous time, and space goblins. Under The Table The dust kicks up on your boots as you stride through the smog filled streets, under the watching eye of the towering brass spires and feeling constant unease, knowing that all around you are ne’er do wells and outlaws, making it a hard place for an honest citizen. Even harder when the biggest scoundrels out there have badges, authority, and a willingness to use that leverage to make life richer for themselves at the cost of everyone else. Join the Strange Table Fellows as we make our first on-air journey into the world of steampunk and fantasy in a new game from Paizo - OUTLAWS OF ALKENTSTAR, a Pathfinder 2e adventure path!
