Today we can announce that we are once again partnering with Anderson Entertainment, this time to produce a tabletop roleplaying game based on the successful 70’s sci-fi TV show, Space:1999!
*
Space: 1999 was the second major live action science fiction series created by Gerry and Sylvia Anderson after UFO. It debuted in 1975 and ran for 24 episodes over two seasons and was widely broadcast around the World.
*
*
The show offered a vision of humanity in the ‘far future’ of the year 1999. In the series, the moon is blasted out of Earth’s orbit after an accidental explosion and flung into deep space, the crew of Moonbase Alpha are left to face many challenges humanity is not yet ready for.
*
*
Utilising our award-winning 2d20 system, the tabletop RPG is set in 1999 as humanity is poised to take its first steps into the universe. ‘Moonbase Alpha’ has been in development since 1989 and after several expansions covers four kilometres, with numerous sub levels under the moon’s surface and some of the surface buildings rising as high as three storeys.
*
Players can choose to be an adventurous pilot, a stalwart security guard, a bold commander, an audacious medic or any one of the 311 inhabitants of the base. Whatever you choose, each mission puts the future of Moonbase Alpha in your hands. What will you do to rise to the challenge on the frontier of space?
*
*
We will be working with Anderson Entertainment to produce a core book for Space: 1999 which will offer a simplified introduction to the 2d20 system, making it suitable for both beginners and seasoned TTRPG-ers.
*
Players can also pick up a copy of Space: 1999 Moonbase Alpha Technical Operations Manual from The Gerry Anderson store, which will act as a companion product and serve as a complete guide to the world of Space: 1999.

Jamie Anderson MD at Anderson Entertainment said: “2025 sees the 50th anniversary of Space: 1999 and we felt the time was right to offer something for fans of the show and the broader role playing game community. We decided to bring in Andrew Peregrine as writer and Modiphius to help us launch into the wider market. This is an early opportunity to see what fans think and to sign up now”.
