Leading up to the release of last year’s Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector<\/em>,<\/em> creator Gareth Damian Martin said they were done creating new Citizen Sleeper video games. Instead, Martin promised to continue the series on the tabletop. It was a fitting plan, given so much of Martin’s\u00a0inspiration for Citizen Sleeper\u00a0<\/em>and Citizen Sleeper 2<\/em>\u00a0came from TTRPGs like Blades in the Dark<\/em>. And they quickly lived up that promise, releasing Spindlejack<\/em>, a free solo game set on one of the stations players could visit in CS2<\/em>, a few months after. As a fan of the series, I thought that might all the new Citizen Sleeper Martin had planned for a little while, but today they’ve announced they’re working on an entirely new tabletop game called Citizen Sleeper: Helion Rising<\/em>.\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 “Helion Rising<\/em> is a TTRPG about surviving in the ruins of interplanetary capitalism, resisting corporate power, and building a future, cycle by cycle, together,”\u00a0<\/em>Martin writes of their new project.\u00a0“You play as a member of a crew, along with your friends, as you try to make ends meet in a solar system built from the remains of a corporate collapse. You’ll take on challenging contracts, try to navigate a path between hostile and friendly factions, and live a life among the stars, full of meaningful struggles, small victories, and moments of human connection.”\u00a0<\/p>\n
