A Transhuman, Optimistic Sci-Fi Setting for Savage Worlds
March 31, 2025 * Tucson, AZ
Ede Sol Games, Ace Licensee of Pinnacle Entertainment, is proud to announce the launch of Han Cluster, a hopeful new science fiction tabletop roleplaying game designed for Savage Worlds Adventure Edition. The campaign is live now and funded on BackerKit and runs through April 17th, 2025.
Years in the making, this cinematic, character-driven game created by Tracy Sizemore reimagines sci-fi gaming with a focus on connection, cooperation, and transhuman potential. Set in a future where humans and sapient machines coexist, Han Cluster invites players to explore a universe that has unlocked a mysterious phenomenon known as the Nex, a force granting extraordinary powers like X-Bonding (instantaneous, soul-deep connections) and Ghost Traveling (projecting consciousness across vast distances). These abilities allow for both bold tactical choices and emotional storytelling in a world that’s as bright as it is mysterious.
“The Nex, a central part of the Han Cluster, integrates seamlessly into the mechanics of Savage Worlds and adds real depth to the extraordinary universe Tracy has created.”
— Mac McCallum, Playtester
As the universe faces a creeping, existential threat known as the Blinding, players are challenged to stand together; sometimes across bewildering distances, sometimes in disagreement, but always with hope.
“I love Han Cluster because it reminds me that our future can be better than our present if we are willing to fight for it.”
— Steven Alexander, Adventures in Lollygagging / Creator of Huckleberry: A Wyrd West RPG
What Makes Han Cluster Stand Out?
- Hopepunk Meets Hard Sci-Fi: A universe where human connection matters as much as conflict.
- Linked Machines: Play as fully sapient AI characters with emotions, goals, and Nex powers.
- ⚡ Innovative Mechanics: X-Bonding and Ghost Traveling let parties split up while still staying in contact with the ability to talk to and even travel to each other over vast distances, turning the classic “never split the party” advice on its head.
- ️ Plot Point Campaign: The 10-act saga Transcendence takes players deep into the mysteries of the Blinding, and what lies beyond.
- ️ Custom Tools & Adventure Generators: Built-in support for creative, long-form play.
“Han Cluster gave me a fresh perspective on sci-fi gaming and a setting I really want to explore.”
— Chris Hussey, Bite Size Tales Podcast
Community-Tested, Critically Praised
“I was lucky enough to actually get to play through the entire Han Cluster campaign with Tracy. Besides the unique and fascinating setting, the adventures in the Plot Point Campaign were incredibly innovative. The ‘auction’ adventure is a stand-out, as was trying to stem the constant effects of the Blinding and using the Nex to coordinate different parties doing multiple tasks at once. It is SUPER fun! I’m very excited to see this in print!”
— Shane Hensley, CEO, Pinnacle Entertainment Group
“The most fun I’ve ever had in a TTRPG session was playing Han Cluster at Gamehole Con!”
— Donald Schepis, Lead Systems Designer at Larian Studios
“Tracy deftly brought us into the setting… by the end of the session, we were all hyped up and grinning from ear to ear.”
— Angela Murray, Gnome Stew
“It uses the Savage Worlds system to its fullest while extending it in truly interesting ways… I’ve never seen anything quite like it.”
— Patrick Clark, Playtester
