SHINE BRIGHT
You are a Beacon, an immortal guardian
infused with incredible power. You shine
bright, a swirling mix of Pyre, Volt, and
Nether energies. As long as you have Light in
you, you refuse to die.
Gather your squad and strike out into the
dark. There are ruins to explore, threats to
fight back, and mysteries to unravel.
Shine bright, brave guardian.
A Beacon is many things.
Elements: Approaches for acting.
Pyre: powerful, emotional, sweeping
Volt: reactive, quickly, effective
Nether: methodical, practiced, surgical
Health: The amount of Harm you can take
before dying.
Light: A resource of great power, and what
keeps you from final death.
Perk: Talent unique to that class of Beacon,
specialized training.
Weapons: A ranged and melee weapon, with
Harm dealt and descriptive tags.
Powers: Incredible feats unique to the
Beacon, only possible because of the Light.
Lighting a Beacon
First, choose a class. All Elements start with
a value of 1. Spend 4 points on Pyre, Volt,
and Nether. No Element may have more than
3 points during the lighting.
Fueling a Beacon
Beacons improve by going on Strikes (see
back). At the end of a Strike, the Beacons will
receive some boon for their work. These
boons can come in the form of more Health,
Light, Weapons, and even new Powers.
RULES
Play is a conversation, between Beacons and
the GM. The GM presents situations, threats,
and challenges, while the Beacons answer
them. Most action is resolved through
conversation. Dice are rolled when a Beacon
acts, and there is risk.
Beacons describe their action, and decide
which Element best describes the approach.
They roll a number d6 equal to the Element,
taking the highest roll. If they have a 0, they
roll 2d6 and take the lower result.
• 1-3: Failure, with a consequence
• 4-5: Success, reduced effect or with a
consequence
• 6: Success, with no consequence
Beacons can mark a point of Light to:
• Reroll a roll
• Activate a Power
• Resurrect with full Health
Health & Harm
When Harm is done, it is subtracted from
Health. Enemies with 0 Health are dead. If a
Beacon drops to 0 Health, they resurrect. Fill
in a box of Light, creating a Dark, and return
to full Health. If they have no more Light,
they give their final death. Health and Light
reset at the end of the Strike, and Dark is
reverted back to Light.
Dark
Every point of Dark adds a die to all rolls. If
the Dark die is the highest roll, the Beacon
takes 1 Harm, but also increases the result
one step (e.g. 1-3 becomes a 4-5). A 6
becomes critically effective.
Combat
There is no initiative, and enemy combatants
do not take turns. Enemies react to the
actions and rolls of Beacons, and make
moves based on their characteristics and
what fits the fiction.

STRIKES
Beacons take part in tactical Strikes, all
across the most dangerous locations across
the system. A session of Light involves
completion of a Strike, success or failure.
Strikes can involve exploring ruins for tech
from the Era of Dawn, fighting back against
the enemies that would see humanity ended,
or unravel mysteries shrouded in Dark.
One thing all Strikes have in common: They
are incredibly dangerous.
Here are some ideas for Strikes:
-A settlement has reached out and requests
support against incoming alien raids.
-Nether energy has been leaking through a
rift in the ruins of a shattered city.
-High ranking members of an enemy force
are holding a meeting, perfect for an
ambush.
-Scouts have been returning from their runs
with no memory of what they saw.
-Beacons have begun to get sick, and the
Light isn’t able to recover them.
-Rumors swirl of a Beacon corrupted by an
ancient weapon, and they’re killing our kind.
-The city’s ancient AI system is under
assault, and requires immediate assistance.
-A war party is entering the system. A
surgical strike against their command will
leave them vulnerable to counterattack.
-A tower of Light can be seen on the horizon.
A source of power, or a tear in reality?
-Spires of rot rise from the ground across the
system, and a new foe emerges with them.
The system is wide, and its needs are many.
Get to work, Beacon.
FUEL
At the end of a Strike, the Beacons will
receive a boon for their work. This boon is
related to the nature of the Strike, and will
help fuel them for their next dangerous job.
Below are some considerations for boons:
-Increase in total Health.
-Increase to total Light.
-Increase an Attribute.
-New weaponry, perhaps with unique
abilities and tags.
-In especially rare situations, the conversion
of a Dark back to a Light.
-New Powers, or upgrades to existing ones.
Expanding the Game
LIGHT is a game that requires fuel as well. It
is designed as a modular system. These are
the core rules, but there are more releases
that you may wish to include to expand your
experience with the game.
You do not need to include all of them, or
even any of them, if you do not want. I
encourage you to explore the world, and the
system, to the scope that fits your table.
You can find all of the releases for LIGHT on
gilarpgs.itch.io.
You can also find a printed copy of the core
rules on gilarpgs.com/store.
Shine Bright, you are a Beacon of hope.

Vulcan
LIGHT ‘EM UP
Guns. Beacons need them. Lots of them. The
good news is there is no shortage of them
across the system. Between the vigilant
work of Vulcan, the gunsmith of the city, and
the decoding efforts of the Librarians,
Beacons will find themselves drowning in
bullets.
A Beacon’s Best Friend
A gun is made of two parts: the type of gun,
and its tags.
There are 12 different types of gun in Light.
Each type of gun has a base damage it deals
when it hits, as well as the range that it is
effective at. Guns may be fired at other
ranges, but may not deal as much damage, or
have the effect the Beacon wants.
The range of a gun is an example of a Tag.
Guns have can have multiple tags, though
most guns start with just one or two.
Additional tags can be earned by having
Vulcan upgrade your weapons. Many tags
are left intentionally vague, and are open to
interpretation on how to use them in game.
An Arsenal
Beacons start off with a single gun, but will
eventually want to carry more. A Beacon can
easily carry two guns with them on a Strike.
If they want, they may bring a third, but doing
so many create complications for them as
they deal with carrying three bulky weapons.
Sometimes Beacons will find weapons while
on a Strike, and want to bring them to Vulcan
to earn favor. If they do, they can decide that
the weapon is transferred to their ship for
transport, and they don’t need to worry
about carrying it around for the rest of the
Strike.
VULCAN
The Lighthouse has one primary gunsmith,
Vulcan, who is responsible for maintaining
the city’s armory, and distributing weapons
to Beacons, members of the Wardens, and
anyone else who needs a firearm.
As Beacons, you don’t need to worry about
currency when it comes to shopping.
Instead, Vulcan uses Bounties, just like the
other factions. Completing these bounties
earn favor with the gunsmith, which can be
used to generate new weapons for the
Beacons. These bounties aren’t crossed off
like typical bounties, but they are available
to the Beacons at the GM’s discretion.
Unlike other factions, the gunsmith doesn’t
have a clock to fill. Instead, favors with
Vulcan are traded in directly for Boons. In
addition, Beacons can trade in weapons they
don’t want for favors, getting 1 favor for each
tag the weapon has.
Bounties for Vulcan
• Get a certain number of headshot kills
• Kills with a particular weapon type
• Using a variety of killing methods in a
single Strike

LEGENDS
Legendary weapons are unique pieces of
tech that are scattered across the system.
Finding one of these is incredibly rare. They
are best suited as the Boon for an especially
dangerous Strike, or after working hard to
gain the great renown with a faction. They
are special in that they have a unique perk to
the weapon, a tag that cannot be found on
any other gun. These are some of them.
Fang
Hand cannon, 2 Harm, Close, Ravenous.
Devour: Recover 1 Harm when killing an
enemy with Fang.

Shredder

Barbs: Whenever an enemy hit by this
weapon moves, they suffer 1 Harm.
Relentless
Bow, 2 Harm, Mid/Far, Reload.
Chain: If you roll a 6 to hit, the target is
chained to you. They cannot move further
away, and you can pull them to you.
CRAFT
This weapons catalog will get you started
with filling your Light game with firearms,
but it isn’t complete. To start, there are
dozens of other legendary weapons out
there waiting to be uncovered, left
abandoned in old ruins or in the hands of
humanity’s greatest enemies.
In addition, the tag list here helps put
together a base loot pool, but you aren’t
limited to only these weapon types and the
tags written.
As Beacons find more loot, either through
engrams, or as Boons from factions or
Vulcan, they will want see the loot pool
change with time. Work as a table to come up
with new and exciting tags and weapon
varieties.
Use rumors of Beacons from eons past who
wielded weapons of terrifying power to
create new perks for legendary weapons.
Remember, Light is a rules-lite game, so
many perks and tags are written to allow for
some interpretation of their use. Use that
freedom when considering what tags to
include in the future. Maybe you’ll have a tag
that simply makes a weapon “notorious”. No
mechanical effect, but it sure does make you
wonder. And maybe certain enemies will
respond to it when they see it in action...

Lighthouse
HOME
The Lighthouse. The last city of humanity.
Some settlements and bases are scattered
across the system, but the Lighthouse is
home.
Citizens and Beacons live side-by-side. Most
people look to the Beacons for leadership,
but that responsibility is shared across a
small group of factions. These factions keep
the city running, and also keep the Beacons
busy with work. Strikes.
Strikes
Strikes can take on a number of different
forms, depending on who is giving the work.
The factions of the Lighthouse have their
own agendas, and beliefs on what is most
important to prioritize for the good of the
city.
A Strike can take place anywhere across the
system, and Beacons see themselves sent to
all corner to root out enemy threats, delve
through ruins for tech and resources, and
generally keeping the remnants of humanity
safe.
Factions
Some of the factions of the Lighthouse are
described here. Their agendas are alluded
to, but you may find they change as Beacons
complete more Strikes for them.
Factions have a disposition towards the
Beacons as well. Those that repeatedly get
the help of Beacons shower them with
Boons, while those ignored may begin to
form a grudge.
WORK
When working for the factions, the Beacons
take on Strikes that are considered a priority.
Given the rarity of Beacons, deciding to send
a squad of them on a mission is not done so
lightly.
Favor & Bounties
Working with a faction will gain the Beacons
favor with that faction. Every time the
Beacons complete a Strike for a faction, they
gain one favor for that faction. Favor is
tracked by the four segment clock.
Prior to the Strike, the Beacons may opt to
take on a Bounty for a faction as well. Doing
so is optional, but is a great way of gaining
even more favor. Beacons can choose a
Bounty from any faction before a Strike, not
just the one giving them the job.
Bounties are objectives that either flavor the
Strike, or are an additional task the squad
must complete while out in the field. Once a
Bounty has been completed, cross it off the
list, as the faction doesn’t need that done
anytime soon. After all of the Bounties have
been crossed off, they are reset. If the
Beacons complete a Bounty, they gain an
additional favor for the Strike.
Boons
Boons are rewards at the end of Strikes. A
Strike always has a reward of some kind (see
Shine Bright for more details), but working
for the factions grants the Beacons even
greater Boons. When a faction’s favor clock
is filled, the Beacons may choose an
additional Boon from that faction.
Many of these Boons are single time
upgrades, such as a new tag for weaponry.
Others are ongoing benefits that the
Beacons can use in future Strikes. Once a
Boon from a faction has been chosen, cross
it off the list.
 WARDENS
In charge of military operations for the Beacons, and the defense of the city.
They make the difficult call on where to send the immortal guardians. One
member from each class of Beacon is a representative of the Wardens,
ensuring a balanced decision making process.
Bounties Boons
• Take out the enemy forces by ambush • Upgrade existing weaponry with a new tag
• Leave nobody alive • Increased favor with Vulcan
• Gather critical military intel • Robotic frame soldier support for Strikes
• Eliminate a VIP • Emergency evac for combat Strikes
• Kill with a specific weapon or Element • Intel report for combat Strikes
• Defend a location under siege • Highly destructive ordinance for Strikes
• Scout out an opportunity for a future Strike • Medical kits for combat Strikes
• Survive a Strike with no deaths • Warden insignia, and associated authority

VEIL
Intelligence gathering, spy and infiltration work, and monitoring the greater
threats across the system. Veil operatives keep their association under wraps,
but hire Beacons for particularly dangerous work. Sometimes they need to spy
on citizens of the Lighthouse and its many factions...
Bounties Boons
• Assess the danger of a possible threat • Covert drop off for Strikes
• Collect old data from the Era of Dawn • A lead on a place of power for Beacons
• Plant a tracking device on a crucial VIP • Supply cache left at a key location
• Leave a corrupting file in enemy systems • Acquisition of an illegal item
• Bring in a VIP for questioning • Meeting with a highly sought out VIP
• Eliminate a traitor within our ranks • Forbidden insight on the Dark
• Track down rumors of a place of power • Access to the hidden library
• Unveil a means of granting new Light powers • A temporary Light renewing power source

ROGUES
Not everyone has the Lighthouse’s best interests at heart. Rogues are looking
out for themselves, and need Beacons to handle some of the heavy lifting.
While it isn’t the most honest work, Rogues can pay better than most in the
city, and they have connections you could never imagine.
Bounties Boons
• Smuggle some contraband to a location • Era of Dawn weapon tech
• Collect a relic of the Dark, for research... • A sizable amount of currency, life changing
• Prevent the Veil from discovering a spy • A favor, to be called on at any time
• Check on a safe house that’s gone quiet • Get out of jail free card
• Steal a prototype from the armory • A lead on a place of power for the Dark
• Acquire some Era of Dawn tech • Develop a new weapon tag, custom made
• Bring back some enemies, alive • Access to Rogue safe houses in the system
• Test out a new tech project in the field • A shard of Dark, and all the power within

Nemesis
FOES
The system was once the playground of
humanity. Our reach spread wide, and the
Beacons lead the charge into the unknown
dark. A great collapse brought that
crumbling down, and now carrion creatures
circle above, waiting to take a bite.
Alien species from beyond our system covet
the power of the Beacons, and the resources
of Earth’s once great empire. They have
invaded, and begun establishing footholds
on multiple moons and planets. Each has
their own plans in motion, though all of them
would see us destroyed.
Corvus Dominion: Driven by a desire to
wage war and conquer. Soldiers tower over
Beacons, huge masses of muscle, armor, and
weaponry. They are coordinated, and prefer
standard warfare tactics over anything else.
Their armor is hammered into the shape of
plumage to denote rank, and kills.
Windswept: Experts in hit-and-run raiding,
these aliens are considered pirates by most
standards. A fair fight is a last resort, instead
preferring ambushes and exploiting weak
points. Their empire was once greater than
our own, but a calamitous event has since
scattered them to the winds of space.
Surge: A machine species that acts as a
singular mind, connected across time and
space. It makes surprising them difficult, and
their efforts are always extremely
coordinated. They use reverse terraforming
to change worlds into a perfectly
symmetrical simulation.
Ruin: Chitinous armor covers these death
obsessed aliens. They believe that power
comes from killing, and have a strict
hierarchical system in place based on tribute
of pain. Those higher in the ranks appear to
wield arcane powers beyond our
understanding, and hint at a greater power
behind them.
FIGHT
Combat in LIGHT does not use an initiative
system, and so enemies do not take turns.
Instead, they react and move based on the
rolls of the players, and when the GM wants
to drive the fight forward and present threats
to the Beacons.
Enemies is a catch-all term for anyone that
the Beacons may fight. This could be one of
the many alien species invading the system,
a spy trying to sabotage the Lighthouse, or
even a fellow Beacon, corrupted by Dark.
An enemy is made of three components:
Health: The amount of Harm they can take
before they are dead.
Weapon(s): Harm dealt, and tags.
Moves: Actions, reactions, and motivations
that the GM can use to give the enemies life.
When a Beacon makes an action and fails, or
has a complication involved, the GM can use
one of the enemy’s move in response, or
simply react with violence and inflict an
enemy’s weapon Harm on the Beacon.
Enemies act differently in combat based on
what species they are, and what kind of
combatant they are in the ranks. Not all
enemies will want to stay in a prolonged gun
fight with immortal warriors, and many will
not want to make it a fair fight. GMs should
use the motivations of the enemy factions,
and the moves of the enemies themselves, to
make every fight feel different than the last.
