A vast science-fiction universe shaped by ancient history, lost knowledge, travel, changing worlds, difficult choices, factions, communities, and the consequences players leave behind. After roughly 1,200 years, the ancient Lanterns are reawakening, and in Lantern Engine, the choices players make can become part of the universe's continuity.

Lantern Engine is a tabletop roleplaying game played around a table with friends and a game master. Full public release details will be shared as the game travels closer to launch.
