Ruby.. Worlds Beyond Dream - A Role Playing Game By Greg Saunders

Earth is a distant memory. Welcome to the Red System.

The human race is close to dead. NuManity rules the Red Worlds.

NuMen 'Dream', casting forth their intellects while cryogenically frozen to control distant Shells scattered through the Red Worlds, allowing them to work for the benefit of all NuManity and also to rid their minds of the vestiges of unwanted 'human' emotions. When they wake they remember nothing – a perfect system.

But you are not the same. You are a Lucid, you remember every Dream vividly. Wracked by near-human emotions and faced with the full horrors of the Red System, only Unity can give you release, but at a price. You must work as an agent of Unity, freeing Obsessive Dreamers, battling Outsiders and eradicating the last dregs of humanity even as the rest of NuManity remains oblivious.

Welcome to Ruby. Now close your eyes and sleep…

Ruby is a complete science fiction roleplaying game. The game features:

An intuitive game system involving six-sided dice that is simple to use and easy to learn
A complete character creation system for Lucid Dreamers and the Shells they occupy
A full and evocative description of each of the Red Worlds – Carmine, Crimson, Cerise, Scarlet, Ruby, Vermillion and the four Gem moons
Rules for the three different technology types found in the Red System – GrainTech, UltraTech and the Salvaged Technologies
Plenty of hints and tips on play styles and how to play the game
