Beyond the Gravity Well is a tabletop RPG that brings deep-space exploration, high-stakes diplomacy, and intense starship combat to the gaming table. Designed for players who love the structure of D&D but crave the vastness of the cosmos, this system blends traditional roleplaying mechanics with unique features like modular ship customization, faction-driven storytelling, and zero-gravity encounters.

My role in this project was to create the graphic design for key gameplay components. I designed the character sheets to be both visually engaging and highly functional, making it easy for players to track their stats, gear, and ship upgrades. The deluxe playmat for ship maneuvering provides a clear, tactile way to manage space battles, ensuring smooth and strategic play. Additionally, I developed DM resources that help storytellers run immersive and seamless sessions, from encounter trackers to system maps.
