SAN DIEGO — Grab your dice and roll up a new character, because NASA's new tabletop roleplaying game is taking off for an adventure in space.

NASA announced its new game, "The Lost Universe" on its website on March 6. 

This space-faring adventure invites players to combat a classic villain while learning science skills along the way. Characters can overcome challenges using science and embark on further quests to gain more knowledge of the universe. 

"A dark mystery has settled over the city of Aldastron on the rogue planet of Exlaris. Researchers dedicated to studying the cosmos have disappeared, and the Hubble Space Telescope has vanished from Earth’s timeline. Only an ambitious crew of adventurers can uncover what was lost," the adventure tag reads.  

This adventure is designed for a party of 4-7 players that are level 7-10, but can be adapted to whatever tabletop system the Game Master chooses. 

Resources for the game are free to download from the Lost Universe page. Players are encouraged to share stories of their adventures throughout the cosmos using the hashtag #NASATTRPG.
