Orbital Blues - A Space Western RPG

Welcome to the rock and roll future that never was—and nobody wanted.

In an intergalactic age of outlaws and drifters, Orbital Blues sets the stage for a lo-fi space western drenched in vintage music and old-school roleplay. Players take on the roles of Interstellar Outlaws, forming crews and scraping by in a ruthless gig economy ruled by hyper-capitalist overlords. Unreliable ships ferry underdogs to their next payday, while corporate freighters haul empires’ bounties across the stars. This is the rebel space age, where music-fueled moon-age daydreams meet high-stakes adventure.
