MacroVerse Lite Games
What is a Lite Game?
MacroVerse Lite Games are rules lite RPGs written in roughly 20 pages. They contain everything you need to play in one short book or .pdf.
Sounds too simple to satisfy your TTRPG craving? I mean, how rich can the game environment be in 20 pages, right?
Our Lite games contain not only the description of the game world, rules for character/NPC generation, and game mechanics, but they have pre-generated games so you can play a quick one-nighter or you can use games Spark Tables to design your own epic stories.
Need more? MacroVerse Lite Games will complement each other and those games will be available as bundles. You won't need to purchase the bundle to play, because of course each game is fully playable on its own, but if you do the complimenting game scenarios will open up the opportunity to break your players into two opposing groups to enjoy the fun. If you're brave enough!

Perseverance
The Tears of the Twins, a comet field of over 20 comets, light up the night sky of Prikas for a month every 4 years. The event is marked by a month-long celebration, with every Nalian taking part in the festivals of life.
For millennia, the Nalian’s have believed it to be an unchanging constant in their lives, worth celebrating. But 3 years ago, their top scientists confirmed that it’s not a constant. In fact, every year, the Tears are a little closer to Prikas when they pass. To their horror, every calculation they run shows that the next time the Tears of the Twins pass through the solar system, the tears will fall on Prikas, washing all life from the planet.
Working right up to the last minute, they build the Perseverance, a Genetic Ark ship that holds the embryos and seeds of every species on the planet. Quickly uploading a hastily programmed, and mostly sane, A.I., and putting 54 crewmembers in stasis, they launch their last, desperate hope to save their civilization!
Can a mentally unstable A.I. and 54 sleeping crewmembers navigate 150 lightyears of unknown space to reach salvation?
Planet FAll
Planet Fall
They said it was just a strange comet passing by. Sure, it was unlike anything we've seen in the past. No one was able to identify what the surface was made of, but that didn’t mean anything right. There must be things out there we don’t know. And as it passed the sun, it turned, but that was just the effect of the suns gravity. Right?
As it neared the earth, it turned again. This couldn’t be explained away as gravity and everyone watched in horror as it landed in City Park.
For a few days nothing happened. It just sat there, 45 stories tall, balanced on massive spider legs with massive, spiked feet dug into the ground.
While everyone was focused on trying to figure out what the visitor was, they didn’t notice the other 4 ships rounding the sun.
As they landed at different points around the world, cables dropped out of the bottom of the ship. They dug deep into the earth and the ship started spewing chemicals into the air.
Experts panicked. They suddenly realized that the ships were terraforming the earth, changing the atmosphere. In a matter of weeks, humans wouldn’t be able to breath without respirators.
The military are all focused on trying to stop the terraformers, rummers start spreading of smaller ships landing under the cover of night. Ships full of aliens waiting for the world to be ready to support them
Can your friends stop the invasion before it starts?
