They call you Lasers. To the lawless denizens of the Bleed, whether they be pirates, gangsters, or tyrants, you're known in less flattering terms. You're the seasoned freelancers local leaders call when a situation proves too tough, too baffling, or simply too weird to handle on their own. In the abandoned fringe of inhabited planets known as the Bleed, you're as close to a higher authority as they come. In Ashen Stars, a gritty space opera game from Robin D. Laws, the players portray Lasers - freelance troubleshooters and law enforcers operating in a remote sector called the Bleed. Amid the ashes of a devastating war, the lasers solve mysteries, fix thorny problems, and explore strange corners of space - all on a contract basis. Dragon Trove ID 11505
