For a quick start go to Character Creation to get started on your character.
What You'll Need
This is a tabletop roleplaying game. How you want to have fun while playing is only limited by the dice you roll and the rules you keep. To play the normal game you will need a d20, a d12, a d10, a d8, a d6, and a d4. The phrase "d20" means "20 sided die". After that, you'll just need to make a character, some friends to play with, and maybe have a gridded sheet of paper with 1" inch squares.
Creating a Character
This is one of the best parts. You will need to make a character that will fit your play style and will anchor you into the world of the game. This character doesn't need to represent you but they can if you wish. You can play your complete opposite if you want to. The important thing is that you like playing the character you make. This character will also need to be one of the game races. They will also need a class and some gear to get started. Continue to the Character Creation article for a complete breakdown of how to complete this process.
Creating a Ship [WIP]
One aspect of Secrets of Sol is the ships. They are how the players get from one place to another in the killer vacuum of space. Not every party may need to create a ship but at some point, they will most likely be on one. Continue to the Ship Creation Article to make a ship from scratch or use a ship from the list of premade ships.
