WHAT'S IN THE QUICKSTART

EVERYTHING TO PLAY TONIGHT · NOTHING HELD BACK
Cortex Vortex Quickstart Guide cover
THE QUICKSTART GUIDEFREE · PDF
01

WORLD PRIMER

Terra Sol, the Alliance, Solex, the Soulweave and the Vortex Flare. Enough to run it, not enough to spoil it.

02

THE CORE ENGINE

Skills, saves, conditions, combat, damage, death and rest. If you know the d20, you already know it.

03

ALL EIGHT SPECIES

Every playable species and all four classes, plus weapons, armour, devices, Mech-Ups, Muta-Boosts and Companion Bots.

04

THE ONE-SHOT

A ready-to-run adventure with pregenerated characters, adversaries and a GM quick reference. Two to four hours.

▸ WHAT YOU NEED

  • Three to six people. One is the Galactic Master.
  • Dice. A d20 plus d4/d6/d8/d10/d12, one shared set is fine.
  • Two to four hours and somewhere to sit.
  • No prep for players. The GM reads the adventure first.

✕ WHAT YOU DON'T

  • No prior knowledge of the setting
  • No other book, no subscription, no account
  • No character creation before session one
  • No purchase. The Quickstart stays free, permanently
The Flare does not come to the curious. It comes to the ones who trained, and paid, and asked anyway.
