This is the full release of Monolith. The game had been in an alpha state for a while as I worked through many of the elements of the game, and it’s finally at a point now where I feel good about releasing it as a version one.

Some of you might notice there’s been a bit of a visual re-work. I wanted to address my thinking behind this. This release of Monolith is designed to be printer-friendly and light on ink to make home printing easier. Because of that, the rationale behind this new design is focused on using as little ink as possible (within reason.) There is also minimal art. If there is enough interest in this version of the game, I will look into 1.) getting Monolith on Lulu, and possibly 2.) creating a deluxe print version with more art, color, and design styling intended for print-on-demand. That second point might take a while, though, because it will require a redesign.

I’ve reworked several systems, including starships & starship combat, advanced combat options, added vices and complications, and expanded the background tables from D4 to D6.

I apologize a thousand times for any typos, errors, etc. I do this without an editor and I’m pretty awful at that part, so I’m constantly catching mistakes. Feel free to DM me on itch, discord, wherever if you catch something. I suspect there will be many more small updates in the future, but this version of the game is feeling stable enough to me to be considered ready for release.

Next on my to-do list is expanding backgrounds to D20, and possibly adding more to augmentations and talents.

This is an ongoing personal project that I just do for fun, and I hope you all enjoy!
