After\\Burner is a tabletop roleplaying game focused on fast and positional starfighter combat and military sci-fi drama.

This game is Illuminated by LUMEN: expect rules-lite, power-fantasy stories about larger-than-life, heroic starfighter pilots with Success/Mixed/Failure outcomes. After\\Burner takes the system in the direction of the combat flight game - with some sprinkling of the more sober and serious space flight sim for flavor.

Your hero pilots crack wise and yammer over comms about their feelings. They fall in love/lust with their superior officers and enemies. They get into fistfights with the XO and weasel out of a court-martial. They soar at breakneck speed through trenches and superstructures with no regard to the “flight deck.” They live high-octane lives of danger and melodrama and they have absolutely no chill.
