What is a tabletop roleplaying game?

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.

What dice do I need to play the Expanse RPG?

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).

What is Green Ronin's AI Art Policy?

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.

Q: Didn't the Transport Union Edition used to have a different cover?

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.

Will STL files be available for the miniatures?

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.

I don't see the Protogen Dice offer in my cart

The Protogen 3-Dice promo offer was only available to those who signed up to be notified when the campaign launched, using the teaser page. These were not available as an early-backer incentive.

If your pledge includes only digital items, we didn’t want you to have to pay shipping or customs fees for just one set of dice. But if you do qualify for the offer, and would still like a set of these 3 Dice, let us know by emailing [email protected], and we’ll add it to your order.

BackerKit FAQ

What is BackerKit?

BackerKit is a service that crowdfunded project creators use to keep track of hundreds to tens of thousands of backers—from shipping details, pledge levels, preferences and quantities, whether they have paid or had their card declined, special notes, and everything in between!

The BackerKit software and support team is independent from the campaign’s project team—BackerKit does not handle the actual reward shipping. For more information about the preparation or delivery status of your rewards, please check the project's updates page.

How does BackerKit work?

After the campaign ends, the project creator will send you an email with a unique link to your survey. You can check out a walkthrough of the process here.

I never received my invitation. How do I complete the survey?

The most common reasons for not receiving a survey email is that you may be checking an email inbox different from the email address you used to sign up with Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account, or it may be caught in your spam filter.

Confirm that the email address you are searching matches the email address tied to your Kickstarter, Indiegogo, or Tilt Pro account. If that doesn’t work, then try checking your spam, junk or promotions folders. You can also search for "backerkit” in your inbox.

To resend the survey to yourself, visit the project page and input the email address associated with your Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account.

How do I update my shipping address?

BackerKit allows you to update your shipping address until the shipping addresses are locked by the project creator. To update your address, go back to your BackerKit survey by inputting your email here.

When will my order be shipped, charged or locked?

That is handled directly by the project creator. BackerKit functions independently of the project itself, so we do not have control of their physical shipping timeline. If you want to check on the project’s status, we recommend reading over the project's updates page.

I completed the survey, but haven't received my rewards yet. When will they arrive?

As BackerKit does not actually handle any rewards or shipping, the best way to stay updated on the shipping timeline would be to check out the project's updates page.
