Rules Reference

Whisperspace is a tabletop roleplaying game system created by Stuart Pringle. In this book you will find the core rules of play as well as suggestions on how to make the most of them. This book does not include a setting, however it is loosely based on a modern or near-future setting and can be adapted for use as required.

Whisperspace began as an extremely simple system of rules I put together when creating one-shot adventures. I wanted the adventures to be system-agnostic and I didn’t want to have to put a lot of thought into how to alter existing systems to allow me to put together the character archetypes I wanted to include. This had the advantage of being useful for players who were unfamiliar with existing roleplaying game rulesets to play a new setting easily and quickly. I’ve since rebuilt the system from the ground up but I’ve kept the core identity of what Whisperspace is: an easy-to-play, simple rule system designed to promote fun, quick-paced gameplay and minimize dead time during your gaming sessions.
