Through the tiny portholes of the space capsule, you see the city hanging weightlessly beneath the stars –  like a huge hanging mobile over Earth, the poisoned cradle of humanity. Drawing closer, it becomes clear that there is something wrong with this star city...
  Free League Publishing today officially released the long-awaited expansion Ad Astra for the multiple award-winning RPG Mutant: Year Zero. Ad Astra allows you to leave the devastated surface of Earth and travel into orbit, out into the solar system, and perhaps further still...

Ad Astra can be played stand-alone or as a direct continuation of the Path to Eden campaign in the Mutant: Year Zero core rulebook. The campaign book also includes rules for playing Mutant: Year Zero in space and an overview of the solar system with ideas for further adventures.

Ad Astra is written by Jens Alm together with the Free League core team. The book is illustrated by Kim W. Andersson, award-winning comic book writer and artist whose works include Love Hurts, Astrid and Alena, the latter of which was adapted into a Swedish film of the same name.

Winner Best Roleplaying Game UK Games Expo 2015  
The Mutant: Year Zero RPG takes you to the world after the great Apocalypse. Humanity’s proud civilization has fallen. But life ­remains. Among the ruins, the People live. You are the heirs of humanity – but not quite human anymore. Your bodies and minds are capable of superhuman feats. You are mutants.

Mutant: Year Zero is the reimagined version of the classic Swedish tabletop roleplaying game Mutant, first published in 1984. Mutant: Year Zero was the very first game created by Free League that released to an international audience in 2014. The game was an instant hit – it was named Best RPG at UK Games Expo 2015 and awarded a Silver ENNIE for Best Rules at Gen Con 2015. In 2018, Funcom released the video game adaptation Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden on multiple platforms, to great reviews.
