TV Tropes
- The purpose of the Trope Launch Pad is the sponsorship of soon-to-come tropes, and sometimes Useful Notes as well.
The Expanse Roleplaying Game is Tabletop RPG published by Green Ronin in 2019 after a hugely successful Kickstarter campaign.
The game takes place during the book series continuity, with much of the initial content set between Leviathan Wakes and Caliban's War.
Tropes:Critical Existence Failure: Averted. Instead of HP, the game uses a luck-based system for avoiding damage, with the player opting to spend a limited supply of "fortune points" to negate damage, or to take damage and incur "conditions" (such as "Injured" or "Wounded") which impact the players ability to take actions.—-
