The Lonely Heart of Lune

A science-fantasy hexcrawl written in December - March 2025 for the Below a Bad Moon Jam.

A devastating solar flare stranded thousands of colonists on the rocky moon of Lune, cut off from decades-distant Earth and the rest of the Ingvar system. No longer protected by solar sailors patrolling the local gravity wells, a controversial warlord has asserted control - Neamo Paleto, chief of the space truckers. In geosynchronous orbit over Lune's only spaceport, Chief Paleto's dreadnought C4-Z4-L3 blockades all spaceflight, turning the screws on regular people just trying to survive in the subterranean city of Man-o-War. Meanwhile, Lune's hinterland is riddled with corrupted monsters, insane robots, restive proles, and mysterious winds stirred by a godlike psychic entity in Lune's core. Are you a brave enough adventurer to light a spark of warmth in the Lonely Heart of Lune?
