NOVA 2 Crowdfunding Now!
It's time to blow up the sun, again.
Celebrating the 5 year anniversary of its release, NOVA is back and better than ever with NOVA 2.
It's time to go NOVA!
NOVA is a action-packed scifi TTRPG. Set in a world where the sun exploded, you pilot badass mechs, diving out into the dangerous Dusk to fight off the many threats that lay in wait.
Originally released in 2021, NOVA was nominated for the Best Rules ENNIE, using the LUMEN system created by Gila RPGs. The rules are quick to learn, and get you to the table right away, fighting off apocalypse chasing Hellions, alien Corvid, or illusive lunar cultists.
The LUMEN system has you rolling pools of d6 outside of combat, and managing your suite of unique mech powers in combat. No rolling to hit here! You are going to do the cool thing.
Now, 5 years later, I'm ready to release the new and improved version of this game.
NOVA 2E is the second edition of the game. It improves the rules from before, while also adding a ton of new material to the game.
What's new with NOVA 2? Here are the highlights:
- General rules updating and cleaning up
- Two new enemy factions: the void born forces of Zed, and the fungal collective known as the Spore
- Three new Sparks: Weaver, Knight, and Quake
- Spark customization revamped, giving even more build control to the players
- Previous edition Sparks have expanded power and mod lists
- Titles can be earned to highlight your pilot's playstyle
- Improved and expanded mission generation rules for the GM
- Enemy factions expanded with more lore, advice, unique rules, and more
- Massive combat improvements such as visualizing the fight, speeding up drops, enemy actions, and more
- More lore and setting information
NOVA 2 is crowdfunding on Kickstarter from September 22 - October 6, 2026. Help us hit our goal of blowing up the sun a second time!
