What is Space Dogs RPG?

Space Dogs RPG is a swashbuckling space western roleplaying game set in the near future where the galaxy has been opened up to humanity, but not without a cost. The builders, an advanced alien species, have come to Earth seeking soldiers to protect their starlanes and to fight their enemies, and humans are just the sort of species they’ve been looking for.

The inspiration for Space Dogs came from many sources, not least of which were the historic Sea Dogs of the 16th and early 17th centuries, which is where it got its name. Other influences were everything from space westerns, to mecha anime, to good old-fashioned action and crime novels. Keep a close eye out, and you might just spot something which gives you a bit of déjà vu. The Space Dogs universe is a big one, and there’s plenty to explore.

In Space Dogs you and your fellow players take on the role of a crew of privateers in the near future, roving the galaxy to protect the starlanes from pirates and monstrous alien hordes, or just out for your next big score. As you play, you and your friends can put your own spin on Space Dogs so that your game is unique from any other.
