Zenith’s Outer Reach (ZOR) is a sci-fi fantasy universe and RPG setting with a focus upon discovery, action, and collaborative storytelling.

PDF PREVIEW COMING SHORTLY!

Play as crafty Protogen, cunning Primogenitors, hardy Laikans, graceful Pantherin, enigmatic Venorathi or savvy Brask! ZOR's unique creation options allow you to bring your own OC to life too with unique subclasses, hundreds of abilities & traits, feats, backgrounds and more!



Why back now? By supporting the project early, you'll be the first to receive everything, as well as getting an exclusive discount and rewards! You'll have your say in future content, and will provide us the opportunity to create more for you through additional stretch goals and funding!
Edit

Not into TTRPGs? No worries! We also have a range of plushies, playmats, apparel, and more for you to show your support! You can view them below in the 'Add-ons' section, or select the 'Build your own' Pledge!



Our miniatures are also fully compatible with, and officially supported by One Page Rules (OPR)! OPR is a completely free-to-play tabletop wargame - using our miniatures you can easily get started with their free rules here!  Not only that, our miniatures are also scaled for use with Warhammer, Infinity, or any other popular tabletop game system you like!


Edit

No worries at all - our books use either the FREE Dungeons & Dragons ruleset; available here, or Starfinder 2e! If you're a fan of Starfinder, we do recommend having the Player Core and Galaxy Guide at the minimum (which you probably already have!)



Available in versions for both DND and Starfinder 2e, the Player's Guide has everything you need to create a character, equip them, and adventure throughout the stars!

Explore the universe your way - when creating your character you'll have incredible variance and choice through myriad physical and mental attributes, abilities, equipment, feats, backgrounds, and more! What will you create?




Our writing has been focused upon ensuring that every member of the party can contribute in a meaningful way, whether this be during the most complex maneuvers in outer space, or in the most (seemingly) innocuous interactions day-to-day!



Perhaps you don't have anyone local nearby - 
We have a dedicated 'Looking For Group' channel in our official Discord (click here to join)! Find players local to you, play online, and discuss your games!!
Edit


We've made it easy! Rather than selecting specific items, you can just choose the Pledge Tier (1, below) that relates to the quantity you would like - for example, if you would like to purchase the 'Starter Set', you would receive any two books you like (even two of the same one if desired), plus any one miniature box you like! You don't need to choose them now, and can then make your selections via a survey, after this campaign has completed.



If you change your mind in the meantime, or need time to decide you have plenty of time to do so!

From there, if you want an additional book or item, you can then also select it as an Add-on (2, above)!

For any pledges over $150, you can also Pledge Over time, in monthly installments!

Edit


You can also add additional items to your pledge, or select multiples! All items within the campaign have a 20% discount compared to their eventual cost at retail next year.








Here's an example of similarly sized plushies previously designed by COOLKOINU!












Edit


Through your generous support we can offer additional free gifts for you by way of thanks, as well as invest further into the project with additional offerings and products! See below for our current progress:














$180,000: Free Enamel Pin added to all pledges

$250,000:

Please note that Pledges do not include shipping costs! Shipping costs are noted below, whilst shipping addresses will be confirmed when your receive your survey from Backerkit via email after the campaign has ended. If you are moving, no problem! We can update your survey at any time.

  • After the campaign ends, surveys are sent out
  • Addresses and shipping fees are collected 
  • We begin shipping your pledges!

Via our regional shipping partners, as well as Australia Post, you can rely upon fast, tracked shipping with duties & taxes paid by us prior meaning NO HIDDEN FEES!

Our shipping partners also pride themselves on carbon neutral parcel delivery, and compensation for lost packages in the very rare event that it does occur. Our fulfilment partners have a demonstrated reputation for quality, consistency, and quick and effective resolution of any problem you may experience in the rare chance one occurs.
