What it is about
Helion, Our Domain is a storytelling game for GM-less or GM-led play powered by Breathless. Guide an extrasolar colony as explorers struggle for survival. You'll weave stories about the heroes who emerge to lead the settlement and determine whether they fall into ruin or manage to triumph. The game has a traditional ruleset for GM-led play, and also features an Oracle that uses a pack of cards for GM-free or GM-mediated play. Both have win and failure conditions.
