5 Million Worlds: An Avatar's Primer is the player's guide to transhuman space adventure. 5MW RPG is a PANIC Engine system, a hack based on Mothership RPG turns Stress into Limit, a valuable asset.

Use Limit points to improve your character during downtime, or when rolling a Limit Check, choose to spend your Limit and roll on the Limit Break table for a boon that could save you and your crew during a bad situation.

You and your crew of anti-fascist agitators explore strange new star systems, and meet fascinating new cultures of different peoples. You'll make first contact, explore technological marvels, ancient ruins and alien wilderness, build communities, and topple the tyrants who aim to control anyone they can. 

Roll or choose from one of five Minds:

• Anarchists are thrifty talkers. Punk diplomats, admin agitators, they slink into new places to disrupt, and not always for the good of the people.
• Savants are geniuses beyond the other Minds' ken, able to grok Serpent tech. But when their universal model falters, they put everyone at risk.
• Gearheads are hardy fix-it folk. Their handiwork can come in clutch, but their hyperfocus can put them and their companions in sticky situations.
• Esoterics are strange, even to their own kind. They excel at tasks of quantitative science or matters of deep instinct, but their presence irks those around them.
• Brusiers are fighters undergoing reform, yet still skilled in Violence. Their aggressive past emerges under duress, making matters worse.

And roll or choose from one of five Forms (coming soon!):

• Visards. Cybermodded transhumans, your people wear a complex AR neural interface that covers all but your jaw.
• Fleshers. Biotech-birthing transhumans, your people have adapted to live in flesh hives on otherwise inhospitable worlds.
• Emulants. Synthetic humans. Your people's freedom varies in 5MW space, as ancient machine mind hatred still lives on.
• Trads. Basic humans. Your people or ancestors were too proud and chose to remain in a Form ill-adapted to space.
• Loopers. Low-G space-dwelling transhumans, hands in place of feet, your people are near-ubiquitous in interplanetary societies.
  

5MW RPG already has several free adventures and settings available, and is intended for use with any science fiction ttrpg module.
