You are a Drover. Your mechanical companion, your “Autostede,” is all that keeps you safe against the deadly plants and roving wild stedes in the wilderness between towns. And you keep them running. Together, you can take on the world, which is good because the world is a dangerous place and its your job to keep the small, separated towns safe and connected.

Autostede is a tabletop roleplaying game Illuminated by LUMEN in which you play as Drovers, the few who choose to modify their Autostedes into weapons capable of surviving the harsh wilderness between towns. 

Actions taken with the ‘stede interact with their wishes, turning every roll into an ongoing conversation with your companion, where you come together to find the best solution to a problem. 

What you’ll find in this book:

  • 6 Masks, sets of skills that help you interact with other people.
  • 12 Stede animal types, each with its own special ability, ranging across 4 size classes.
  • 15 Modules, components of the stedes that you choose to customise how they interact with the world
  • Tools for generating towns, people and places and the missions they send you on. 
  • 12 Sample enemy stedes for you to battle in the wilds, and guidance for making your own.

Playing Online:

Unfortunately the way that the stede sheet works makes it impossible to use online dice rollers, but that doesn't mean that the computer can't be used to hold the rest of your character sheet. I have built this Character Keeper to help people navigate the various parts of character creation. Just make your character in the keeper, print out the relevant stede sheet and you're ready to go!
