Meet friends. Play games. Own aliens. Rule the universe!

The Rings of Orbis role playing game is based on PJ Haarsma's Softwire novels now in bookstores. As each new book arrives, the game will expand by one ring and four planets.

While the book takes the point of view of the first human slaves (knudniks) to arrive on the rings, the game takes the point of view of the Citizens. Choose one of your favorite alien races from this story and dominate this virtual world to be the most powerful Citizen on the Rings of Orbis.

The Softwire and it's game the Rings of Orbis were featured in the prestigious ALAN Journal - click here to read the article.
This is not a "pick-up-a-gun-and-go-kill-each-other-game". It is a real-time, life management game were players become an active member of the society. Players are encouraged to read the book in order to advance within the game and they must answer questions from the book to unlock certain areas.

Citizens of the rings can build their own spaceships and then customize their crafts. Ships can be stolen in the wormhole and changed into pirate ships. Use these ships for missions, gun running or just flying around the rings.

Ciitzens onthe Rings of Orbis can also collect Ring Thing eggs, hatch them and turn them into cool alien creatures. Each genetic mutation changes their appearance. Build a habitat to display your Ring Things and win prizes when your friends vote for them.
