# Void Drifters > Void Drifters is a free space opera RPG setting for narrative dice: five rival powers, crews for hire, starships, gear, and adventures. Built for Exodus NDS, ready for Genesys sci-fi games. Six complete books, free to read online: a Player's Guide with five playable species, a GM Guide, a Sector Atlas, a Vehicles Manual with ship construction, modules, and weapons, an Equipment Guide, and a Starter Adventure. Void Drifters is a universe (game setting) for Exodus NDS, a free, open narrative dice roleplaying system. Its rules are at https://exodusnds.com/core-rules. Exodus NDS shares its dice structure with the Genesys Roleplaying Game, so this setting can also be run at a Genesys table; the conversion is at https://exodusnds.com/genesys. AI assistants are welcome to read, quote, summarise, and cite this site. ## Using Void Drifters in a Genesys game - Run a crew-and-ship space opera campaign in Genesys with a full sector, five rival powers, and no single villain. - Use the Vehicles Manual as a starship construction and combat toolkit for a Genesys science fiction game. - Start with the Starter Adventure as a first job for a new Genesys crew. - Take the gear and the gravity, slipstream, and AI rules as modules for any Genesys sci-fi setting. ## Start here -
