I welcome Jason Oberman, the creator of 6083, a military sci-fi game that has been 38 years in the making, and is now available on print on demand through DriveThruRPG.  

Jason is a retired career soldier whose military journey has leaked into the game’s DNA, resulting in a TTRPG experience with influence from real-life military culture.  6083 is an original TTRPG with a unique ruleset, and is not based upon any current or past game systems. It has some mild-rule complexity (crunch), but aims to provide a role playing experience that is cinematic with detailed and fast paced combat encounters.
