As a longtime gamer with a deep appreciation for classic science fiction, I can hardly contain my excitement over Modiphius Entertainment and Anderson Entertainment’s collaboration to create a tabletop roleplaying game (TTRPG) based on Space: 1999. This series was a staple of my childhood, and the idea of stepping into the shoes of Moonbase Alpha’s inhabitants is beyond thrilling.
Modiphius Entertainment has teamed up with Anderson Entertainment to create a tabletop role-playing game (TTRPG) inspired by the 1970s sci-fi TV series “Space: 1999.” Using Modiphius’ 2d20 gaming system, this TTRPG is set in 1999 when humankind is on the verge of expanding into space. Notably, ‘Moonrise Alpha,’ which has been under development since 1989, now spans four kilometers and boasts subterranean levels and massive surface structures reaching three stories high. These features provide ample opportunities for players to delve into intriguing adventures.
According to the Space: 1999 role-playing game press release, players have the freedom to select a role such as an adventurous pilot, a brave security officer, a daring commander, or even an audacious medic. Regardless of your selection, every mission presents you with the responsibility to determine the fate of Moonbase Alpha. How will you respond when faced with challenges on the edge of space?
In 2025, we’ll be celebrating the 50th anniversary of “Space: 1999,” and as MD of Anderson Entertainment, I believed it was the perfect moment to create a tabletop role-playing game (TTRPG) for both devoted fans of the show and the larger RPG community. To help us reach a wider audience, we enlisted Andrew Peregrine as our writer and partnered with Modiphius to ensure a successful market entry. This is an early chance for you to give your feedback and secure your spot.
Space: 1999 marked the second significant live-action sci-fi production by Gerry and Sylvia Anderson, premiering in 1975 with a 24-episode run spanning two seasons. In this show, an unexpected explosion causes the moon to be ejected from Earth’s orbit and propelled into deep space. The inhabitants of Moonbase Alpha are compelled to confront numerous challenges that humanity is not yet prepared to handle.
Modiphius and Anderson are teaming up to produce the core rulebook for Space: 1999, featuring an introductory section that makes the 2d20 gaming system more accessible to beginners and experienced players alike. The Space: 1999 Moonrise Alpha Technical Operations Manual from The Gerry Anderson store will complement this release, offering a comprehensive exploration of the game’s setting.
Chris Birch, co-founder of Modiphius Entertainment, enthusiastically recalls his childhood fascination with Moon Base Alpha’s thrilling exploits and the iconic Eagle Transporters. Iused to own several of those toys, which fueled my imagination as I crafted my own adventures. If only I had known back then that there would be a role-playing game based on this captivating universe!
