Yes, you can. Everything in the reward tiers is also available as an add-on. If you want several copies of the new core rulebook for you game group, for example, choose the reward tier you want then get more copies as add-ons.
A ROLEPLAYING GAME (or RPG for short) is a game of the imagination, where you and some friends get together and create fictional characters, then play out their adventures around a tabletop or online. One player takes the role of GAMEMASTER (or GM) and describes the setting and the challenges your characters encounter. The Gamemaster plays the supporting characters and villains in the story and acts as a referee to adjudicate the rules of the game and make sure everything’s handled as fairly as possible. Your imagination is the only thing limiting the sorts of adventures you can have since you and your friends create the world, the characters, and the stories. It’s like writing your own Expanse stories but with your characters in the spotlight All the action takes place in your imagination, and the story can go on for as long as you want, with one exciting adventure after another. You can pick up and play the game whenever you want, and stop at any point, like reading the chapters of a graphic novel or saving and putting a video game on hold.
Good old six-sided dice (AKA d6s). When making tests for your character, you roll three dice and add them together, then add modifiers. You need two of the dice to be one color and the third a different color, or otherwise differentiated in some way. That third die is known as the Drama Die, and it’s important. The result of the Drama Die can determine your level of success and allow you to perform stunts (the most fun part of AGE system games).
Blue Rose, Cthulhu Awakens, Dragon Age, Fantasy AGE, Fifth Season, Modern AGE. If you've played any of these games, you already know the basics of The Expanse RPG.

Green Ronin Publishing is firmly against the use of AI art in any of our products. Our standard artist contract contains a "no use of AI of any kind" clause, which all artists are expected to adhere to. If we were to determine a piece of art we commissioned used AI assets in its generation, we would cancel the contract and replace the art. It's that simple.
Absolutely! Everyone will be able to download a copy of the brand new Quickstart before the end of the campaign. Backers who pledge in the first 48 hours will get it earlier than those who do not, but rest assured, *Everyone* will have access to it.
A: It had an unfinished piece of art as a mock-up. After discussions with the artist, we decided to go our separate ways. We are in the process of commissioning new art for the cover.
We know many folks would like to see STL files for our minis, but unfortunately that is not going to happen. Our license does not allow us to sell STLs for 3D printing.
BackerKit FAQ
BackerKit Crowdfunding is an all-or-nothing collaborative funding platform. Creators share their project ideas and set a funding goal with a deadline. Backers pledge money to help make the project possible.
If the project meets its goal by the deadline, pledges are charged and the creator moves forward. If it doesn’t, no one is charged.
Backers often receive special rewards for their support, such as:
- Exclusive products
- Bonus rewards for backing related projects
- Discount pricing
- Behind-the-scenes updates
- Creative input opportunities
Pledging in crowdfunding is a commitment to support the creation of a new product or project. Unlike a traditional purchase, you're not buying an item that already exists. Instead, your contribution helps bring a creative idea to life, and in return, you typically receive rewards (such as the product itself) as a thank you for your early support.
- Select a pledge level with the reward(s) you would like to receive
- Select any add-ons
- Confirm your pledge!
- You are charged only if the campaign meets its funding goal.
- Charges happen when the campaign ends, not when you pledge.
The creator will send you a survey to:
- Ask you for more information about your rewards (selecting options, etc)
- Collect shipping information
- Offer additional items you may want to add to your pledge
- Collect shipping fees (if applicable)
The survey will be sent to the email address we have on file with your pledge. Additional payments are charged when you complete the survey.
Only the project creator and the BackerKit Support Team can see your pledge and contact information. Other backers and the public cannot see your individual pledge amount or personal details.
You can change or adjust your pledge level and add-ons before the campaign ends. After the project concludes, cancellations or changes are at the creator's discretion and may depend on what stage the project is in.
Overtime Mode extends your campaign past its original end time to give backers a final chance to make their pledge. It will add an additional 10 minutes past the end time as long as pledges keep coming in. The campaign will end when there is a 10-minute period without any new pledges.
