Rocket Age is powered by the Vortex System – the same ruleset that drives Doctor Who Adventures in Time and Space. It's a quick and easy system using D6s that encourages fast talking and high adventure.
The system is simple enough to pick up in moments – roll two dice, add them to a skill + stat and compare the total to a difficulty number. The more you beat it by, the better you did.
Throw in Story Points, which allow you to cheat death, introduce your own story elements, create technological gizmos and grab hold of the adventure with both hands, and the system really encourages the sort of high-stakes pulp action befitting the genre.
Finally, the Vortex System’s unique initiative system encourages players to talk, think and plot their way out of trouble before they draw their RAY guns, makes every fight exciting and inventive.
