What is Laser Monks in Outer Space?
Laser Monks in Outer Space is an ultralight tabletop roleplaying game where you play as space-paladins with Laserblades and superpowers.
It’s a game focused the pull of the dark and the difficulty of following a moral but restrictive creed. It's about choosing between what is right and what is easy.
Laser Monks follow a creed known as The Path
The Path is Peace
The Path is Compassion
The Path is Moderation
Following The Path grants Laser Monks power, but straying from The Path with an action that directly opposes it grants quicker access to power. Players choose their Laser Monks destiny. Will they attain harmony and ascend to life beyond as a spirit? Or will they stray from The Path and become one of the fallen?
Laser Monks In Outer Space is designed to be played in short campaigns, or to be used for one-shots.
The rules are designed to support cinematic and quick-paced gameplay. The core system is a light-weight dicepool.
Character creation has zero-hassle and can be done in 5 minutes.
Laser Monks In Outer Space is only in black and white to make it printer-friendly and can fit on just two pieces of A4 paper if printed doubled sided.

Kind of obsessed with how you managed to create the perfect paladin, but also they are laser monks in outer space.
Five stars.
Lovely zine construction and page layout, innovative injury system and thematic. Uses "control panel layout" on the character sheet.
I would recommend anyone running this print out a copy because it looks its best in zine form. 💜
