Stars Without Number

Overview

Stars Without Number is a sandbox science fiction tabletop role-playing game designed by Kevin Crawford and published by Sine Nomine Publishing. Originally released in 2010, followed by an extensively expanded and restructured Revised Edition in 2017, the game is a prominent fixture of the
Old School Renaissance (OSR) https://groupfinder.eu/library/old-school-renaissance-osr-2000
movement. It is structurally engineered to merge the lightweight tactical framework of early fantasy role-playing systems with exhaustive, modular sci-fi sandbox generation toolkits.

Description

Stars Without Number takes place in the year 3200, centuries after the tragic collapse of the Second Terran Mandate. The human galaxy was once interconnected by instantaneous jump gates and protected by a core of psychic navigators, until an evolutionary psychic catastrophe known as "The Scream" drove every psychic in existence instantly insane or dead. The sudden collapse of interstellar transit triggered a multi-century dark age of isolation known as the Silence. In the modern setting, fractured sectors of space are finally rediscovering faster-than-light spike drives and exploring a fragmented universe. Players navigate this dangerous frontier as spacers, scavengers, mercenaries, or rogue psychics, operating in a cosmos characterized by corporate espionage, lost pre-collapse technology, and shifting planetary regimes.

I'm Izzy. 28. They/it.  I have over 10 years of experience in the tabletop space. On/off over the years with playing as finding groups that stay together takes time.  I have played in 2 completed 5e dnd campaigns that lasted over 2 years separately. Rime of the Frostmaiden & a homebrew Strahd campaign.  I will happily play in 5e & 5.5e games, though I have had an increased interest in p2fe/p2fre!  Tabletop games i have liked and played, would play again: 5e, pf2e, Vampire the Masquerade, Monster of the Week, Monsterhearts, Wanderhome, Call of Cthulhu  Tabletops I have not played but would be interested in: Blades in the Dark, Scum and Villainy, other Powered by the Apocalypse games or Forged in the Dark games, pf1e, Werewolf the Apocalypse, other World of Darkness games, Cyberpunk Red, etc etc My main goal as a player is to be a group player, to be someone that is wholly on the team with the other players! I love the collaborative nature of tabletop most, and why I always hold myself to be flexible and prioritize everyone's enjoyment and keep the table flowing! My characrer ideas are always many, but playing a characrer to the T is not a priority in the sense; that if it disrupts the flow and story of the table or conflicts wirh the group? Then I scrap that idea or develop the character different to mesh better!

Let’s go on an adventure together! I'm looking for a free, cooperative, consent-based, story-focused TTRPG table. I enjoy character-driven games with party relationships, meaningful combat, exploration, mystery, downtime, and earned emotional moments. Ideal balance: about 50% roleplay, 30% combat, 20% exploration. I like sincere games with humor, but not constant bits, edgelord behavior, or main character syndrome. I fit best with players who share spotlight, cooperate, respect boundaries, and care about everyone’s character mattering. Consent and safety are important to me. Heavy themes, PvP, romance/flirting, sexual content, intense character conflict, or major effects on another PC should be discussed first. Lines and veils should be respected. I’m in Hawaiʻi Time / UTC-10. Weekends are best, and I prefer 2–3 hour sessions. I’m open to voice, PBP, or hybrid formats. Not a good fit for bigotry, disruptive rules-lawyering, non-cooperative play, unconsented PvP/romance/sexual content, trauma dumping, or using RPGs as therapy. Message me on Discord; I’m more responsive there. Please say you saw my Groupfinder post and send a short game pitch. Discord: goldaline

Hello!👋 My name is Drew. I'm a 50 year old gay 🏳️‍🌈 nerdy 🤓 school teacher 👨‍🏫 who loves to play tabletop RPGs and board games. I have been gaming and GM'ing since the 80's. My favorite RPGs are a Star Wars, Shadowrun, and superheroes. My least favorite is Cthulhu. But I will play just about anything if the company is laid back, friendly, and fun! I'm always looking for friends to game with! I run two gaming groups, one on Friday nights and one on Sunday afternoons.  But I want to game more! There are so many awesome games to explore and so little time!

Medieval Fantasy City Generator

English
Free
Universal
The Medieval Fantasy City Generator (MFCG) is a highly influential, browser based procedural tool created by the developer watabou. Since its debut in 2017, it has become the gold standard for "instant" urban cartography, capable of generating complex, aesthetic city layouts in a single click. In late 2025 and early 2026, the tool received significant updates to its District View and Building Placement algorithms, allowing for more organic street flow and higher density urban "slums" that better reflect historical medieval layouts. Description The Medieval Fantasy City Generator is a "toy" in the best sense of the word—a lightweight, highly customizable application that prioritizes "cool looking" maps over strict geographical simulation. It uses Voronoi diagrams to partition space into districts, then fills them with procedurally generated buildings, walls, and landmarks. Because it runs entirely in HTML5, it requires no installation and is a favorite for GMs who need to generate a "capital city" or "coastal port" on the fly during a live session. System Overview & Key Features One Click Generation Pressing a single key (Enter) generates a completely new city with unique geography. The tool automatically decides where the castle, the temple, and the market square go, providing an instant foundation for a Game Master to build their narrative upon. Procedural District Mapping The 2026 version features an improved "Alleys and Blocks" view. Cities are divided into logical districts—like the Craftsmans Quarter or the Shanty Town—each with its own architectural density and procedurally generated name that can be edited by the user. Dynamic Warp Tool GMs can manually reshape the city by "warping" its boundaries. If you need a city that is long and thin to fit a specific riverbank, or a circular fortress atop a hill, the warp tool allows you to push and pull the city's footprint while the buildings rearrange themselves in real time. 3D City Viewer Integration By exporting a city as a JSON file, users can open their map in the companion City Viewer app. This transforms the 2D layout into a fully navigable 3D environment, perfect for showing players the "skyline" of the city they are about to enter. SVG and JSON Export Maps can be exported as high quality SVG files, allowing them to be opened in programs like Illustrator or Inkscape for further artistic customization. The JSON export ensures full compatibility with other "Procgen Arcana" tools and major VTTs like Foundry. Azgaar's Integration The generator is natively linked to Azgaar's Fantasy Map Generator. When a user clicks on a city in a world map, it can automatically trigger the Medieval Fantasy City Generator to build that specific town, creating a seamless "World to Street" experience.

Actual Play
No Lime Light Productions is a YouTube channel dedicated to content surrounding Prosperon: A Bio-Cyberpunk RPG, an independent tabletop role-playing game created by No Lime Productions. The channel serves as the primary hub for official game media, instructional content, and ongoing playtest material. The channel features a variety of content formats, including how-to guides, lore breakdowns, and an extended playtest podcast. These videos are designed to support players, introduce newcomers to the game’s mechanics, and expand on the worldbuilding present in the core rulebook. Lore and Voice Work A notable component of the channel is its series of lore videos. These episodes adapt narrative material from the Prosperon core rulebook and present it in a dramatized format. Voice performances for these videos are produced using ElevenLabs, a subscription-based service that compensates voice actors for the use of their vocal profiles. This approach adds additional atmosphere and characterization to the game’s setting. Playtest Campaign No Lime Light Productions also features a long-running “solo couples” playtest campaign. The series follows the game’s creators through their sessions, capturing the story as it unfolds, the emotional moments that come with it, and the ways they push and test the Prosper system. Over time, the campaign has become a defining part of the channel, giving viewers a clear sense of the game’s tone and how it plays at the table.
