tl;dr this links to a pdf that provides guidance and world-building for a role-playing game master/referee to run a one-shot adventure that involves an astronomy puzzle, maybe.

The text largely eschews any stats so people can adapt it to their system of choice. The initial conceit seems to involve the literal players astrally projecting into the characters they create, who are denizens of some exoplanet imbued with magic. The players traveled there after our Hubble Telescope disappeared.

Calling all adventurers!​

It’s time to gather your party and your favorite tabletop role-playing game system.
A dark mystery has settled over the city of Aldastron on the rogue planet of Exlaris. Researchers dedicated to studying the cosmos have disappeared, and the Hubble Space Telescope has vanished from Earth’s timeline. Only an ambitious crew of adventurers can uncover what was lost. Are you up to the challenge?

This adventure is designed for a party of 4-7 level 7-10 characters and is easily adaptable for your preferred tabletop role-playing game (TTRPG) system.

NASA’s first TTRPG adventure invites you to take on a classic villain (while also using and learning science skills!) as you overcome challenges and embark on an exciting quest to unlock more knowledge about our universe. Download your game documents below and get ready to explore Exlaris!
