One year on from Citizen Sleeper 2, I'm tempted back into its world with a physical release of its TTRPG spin-off


Crafting a world that begs to be explored is a tricky thing to do, especially when the world is kind of sucky, doubly so when it's woven mostly through words with only supplementary imagery to provide a broader context. Yet Citizen Sleeper's is one I'm often thinking about because amongst all the grand sci-fi concepts is a grounded sense of reality that you'll always find in the best of the cyberpunk genre. And here I am, a year on from the second game's release, tempted to return once more, but this time in a form based on its tabletop origins.

Lost in Cult Returns With Citizen Sleeper 2 Design Works and More!

[p][/p][h2]Now available for pre-order! New items in the Lost in Cult Design Works collection for Citizen Sleeper 2.[/h2][p]Click to Pre-Order![/p][p][/p][p]Over a million players experienced the first Citizen Sleeper, and heard whispers of The Starward Belt – an expanse of sparsely inhabited space surrounding Erlin’s Eye. A loose cluster of asteroids, stations, colonies, and pre-fall megastructures, The Belt lived rent-free in the imaginations of players everywhere. But of course, it didn’t fully exist – until Gareth Damian Martin decided to put pen to paper.[/p][p]The resulting sequel is a contemporary sci-fi odyssey. The Sleeper’s journey takes them through a beleaguered deep-space ice mine; a bustling cosmopolis locked in eternal night; a vast, ruined space gate; and a secret outpost on the edge of everything. Piloting a small spacecraft called The Rig, the player can assemble a crew of waifs, drifters, friends, and misfits – and, just maybe, forge them into a community.[/p][p][/p][p]Citizen Sleeper 2 - Design Works[/p][p]Citizen Sleeper 2: Design Works, written by John Rogers (Gaming in the Wild, Ultros: Design Works), takes you even deeper inside the Starward Belt. Through previously unseen character sketches, architectural diagrams, and in-depth interviews with Gareth Damian Martin, Guillaume Singelin, and Amos Roddy, we shine a light on the process of creating these unforgettable characters and places. The result is a fascinating and detailed look at Citizen Sleeper 2’s improbable untold story: a comprehensive document of its journey from inspiration to conception, development, and release.[/p][p][/p][p]Citizen Sleeper: SPINDLEJACK[/p][p]Created exclusively for this anniversary release, this is a new version of the free solo TTRPG created for Citizen Sleeper Day 2024, presented in physical form for the first time. This release features two exclusive modules, Sprocket’s Shop and Kadet’s Climb. Sprocket's Shop is a module with upgrades and items that add new tactics and techniques to Spindlejack, and Kadet's Climb is a story module where you play as Kadet, trying to survive on the far Spindle as she rises up through the ranks of the station's most infamous delivery couriers. Housed within a customisable box, complete with x10 Citizen Sleeper-themed dice, exclusive intersection boards, slider clips and gameplay leaflets, this physical release is the complete way to play Citizen Sleeper: Spindlejack. [/p][p]It’s your chance to navigate randomly rolled intersections, run deliveries, upgrade your bike and become a legend on the station of the Far Spindle![/p][p][/p][p]Deluxe Edition[/p][p]Available exclusively for the duration of the pre-order period, the Deluxe Edition offers fans the opportunity to own the Citizen Sleeper 2: Design Works book alongside a physical boxed version of Citizen Sleeper: Spindlejack, Gareth Damian Martin’s solo tabletop role-playing game set in the Citizen Sleeper universe. This comes complete with Citizen Sleeper 2-themed dice, exclusive intersection boards, and stickers to customise your Citizen Sleeper: Spindlejack box. All of this is housed within a beautiful custom box, enhanced with a metallic finish and magnetic clasp.[/p][p][/p][p]Anniversary Edition[/p][p][/p][p]Limited to 250 copies, the Anniversary Edition includes everything from the Deluxe Edition, as well as:[/p]
  • [p]A2 art print signed by Gareth Damian Martin[/p]
  • [p]Limited Edition Citizen Sleeper 2 vinyl in ‘Sleeper Yellow’[/p]
  • [p]Citizen Sleeper 2 themed slipmat[/p]
[p][/p][p]But that's not all![/p][p][/p][p]TTRPG Cycles of the Eye[/p][p]Available for the first time in premium second edition boxed form, Cycles of the Eye can now take pride of place on your shelf. The Citizen Sleeper tabletop game uses dice and tarot cards (both Minor and Major Arcana) to create a solo journey through the game's location of Erlin’s Eye. Over the course of several cycles, you will complete challenges, reveal new locations and interact with iconic characters, building a story unique to your session from the included tarot deck. Complete with a 78 Card Tarot Deck, Citizen Sleeper-themed dice, and game book, this collaboration between Gareth Damian Martin and Alfred Valley, creator of ingenious solo RPGs such as Lay On Hands and Thousand Empty Light, is a fantastic addition to the collection. [/p][p]
For anyone purchasing the physical version of Cycles of the Eye, you’ll receive a digital PDF at the end of the pre-order period free of charge. Anyone who has previously bought Cycles of the Eye from Lost in Cult, either standalone or as part of the original Citizen Sleeper: Deluxe Edition, you will also receive the digital PDF too at the end of the pre-order period.[/p][p][/p][p]In addition to this, both Citizen Sleeper: Design Works and the Citizen Sleeper vinyl are being reprinted, due to popular demand![/p][p][/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p]
