Vast Grimm Expansion Books: What Each Hardcover Adds

Quick answer

The Vast Grimm Space Raiders hardcover adds new factions and a hex crawl adventure focused on galaxy-faring pirates, while the Space Cruisers hardcover introduces starship creation and combat rules. Your choice depends on whether you want more story-driven content or vehicle mechanics.

Why two separate expansion books?

Vast Grimm splits its expansions into focused hardcovers so you only pay for the content you'll actually use. Space Raiders leans into narrative and exploration, while Space Cruisers is all about building and fighting with starships. Neither book requires the other, but they complement each other well if you want a complete space-faring experience.

What you won't find in either book

Neither expansion includes a full campaign or standalone rules. Both assume you already own the core Vast Grimm rulebook. The Space Raiders book does not contain starship rules, and Space Cruisers does not include factions or hex crawl adventures. If you need both, you'll need to buy both hardcovers.

Frequently asked questions about Vast Grimm expansions

Do I need the core rulebook to use these expansions?

Yes. Both Space Raiders and Space Cruisers are expansion books that require the core Vast Grimm rulebook for the base rules and setting.

Which expansion should I buy first?

If your campaign is heavy on exploration and faction politics, start with Space Raiders. If you want starship combat and customization as a core part of your game, pick Space Cruisers first. Consider your group's playstyle before choosing.

Can I use both books together?

Absolutely. Space Raiders adds the factions and hex crawl, while Space Cruisers gives you the starship rules to travel between those locations and fight in space. Using both gives you a full sandbox experience.

Are these books available in softcover?

Both expansions are currently available only in hardcover format. The hardcover binding is durable for table use and shelf storage.

What is the page count or length of each book?

Exact page counts are not listed for either expansion. If page length is a deciding factor, check the product description for more details before purchasing. This is a known limitation in the catalog data.
