As Starfield draws closer we're all finding ways to cope with the agonising final stretch of waiting as best we can.
Some of us are hurriedly shopping for the best Starfield bundles because we spent months convincing ourselves we didn't need the game, only to realise we absolutely do. Others have taken to looking over every bit of footage of the game in an attempt to piece together the map, skill tree, and pretty much everything else.
Meanwhile, one particularly talented fan has gone ahead and built their own Starfield RPG to play while they wait. That's a baller move.
Take a look at Starfield in action below!

Over on the Starfield subreddit, a fan by the name Bridneus has shared something truly amazing: a tabletop RPG adventure inspired by Starfield called Planetfield. I'm genuinely in awe.
In this one-page RPG, players become members of a group of space explorers called The Zodiac. This team must then embark on a quest to explore the outer reaches of space and find the “fragments of an alien artefact called an Eldritch Apparatus".
“It's fully playable solo (obviously),” Bridneus explained. “You need a pencil, some coloured pencils or paint (to colour the planets and a star) and a d10 die (or simulate it on your device).”
Whether you want to play alone or with friends, this seems like the perfect way to get in the mood for Starfield before it launches next month. With the prospect of thousands of planets to explore and tons of new content to discover in Bethesda's massive open-world RPG, I quite like the idea of starting off with something smaller and more manageable to get myself in the mood.
Starfield will be available 1 September for those who got hold of Early Access, and 6 September for everyone else. There is, however, a way to play it even earlier than that if you're so inclined.
