Red Dwarf: The Role-playing Game is a tabletop game released in 2003 by Deep7 Publishing.Like most tabletop roleplaying games, Red Dwarf encourages players to create a character from a variety of races and assign them skills and traits. The skills themselves have specialisations, which explains, for example, that Lister can cook in general to a certain extent, but is greater at it when cooking Indian food. The Dungeon Master role is played as a ship's AI in the vein of Holly from the original series. The game is notable for having a humorous sourcebook written in a way that fits with the source material. | |

Deadly Game | |
| Red Dwarf (Tabletop Game) / int_1d91d828 | comment |
Deadly Game: The pre-generated scenario included within the rulebook involves the crew getting involved in a Kinitawowi Golf Tournament. First place gets a star drive, second place gets various office supplies, and third place gets to be skinned alive. | |

Adaptation Expansion | |
| Red Dwarf (Tabletop Game) / int_23473ae7 | comment |
Adaptation Expansion: While not explicitly lined up with Canon, the role of the Space Corps in the solar system, along with the worlds in the system, is much more fleshed out than the original series, allowing a scenario where a game can conceivably be entirely set in the pre-radiation leak era should the AI choose. | |

Humans Are Average | |
| Red Dwarf (Tabletop Game) / int_32341694 | comment |
Humans Are Average: Human characters have no major advantages or drawbacks compared to other races and have balanced stat caps. Holograms are this as well, given that they're former humans, barring issues regarding battery life and tangibility if in hard or soft light mode. | |

Skill Scores and Perks | |
| Red Dwarf (Tabletop Game) / int_3b6a5d9b | comment |
Skill Scores and Perks: In addition to basic stats, each character has skill points to allocate to a variety of skills. These skills are quite broad, ranging from weapon specializations to astronavigation skills to even mundane hobby skills. Each character can also take a number of traits, such as rank or celebrity status, or those that affect personality, such as self conversation or being a smeghead. | |

Three Laws-Compliant | |
| Red Dwarf (Tabletop Game) / int_4cb90f31 | comment |
Three Laws-Compliant: Series 4000 and Hudzen 10 droids are programmed not to kill and Asimov's Law is a character trait they all have, though the latter has a tendency towards psychosis which overrides this. Simulants can also be installed with this, but it's noted that they become very surly if this happens. | |

Future Primitive | |
| Red Dwarf (Tabletop Game) / int_5c36f1df | comment |
Future Primitive: According to the official rule book, in the universes where the rabbits evolve and become a civilisation, humans (instead of becoming extinct as in the other universes) become ignorant savages, being mainly used as medical experiments and slaves. | |

Hereditary Twinhood | |

Hereditary Twinhood: Apparently, Vidal Beasts (creatures which are briefly mentioned in a Noodle Incident in the parent series) always give birth to children in pairs, with one always being a herbivore, and the other always being a carnivore. | |

| Red Dwarf (Tabletop Game) / int_7c1c0e80 | comment |
Animal Is the New Man: Whilst this is generally the case in all of the universes featuring evolved animals (since humans are mostly extinct), it is most notable in the universe where rabbits evolved into humanoid forms, since humanity is now little more than medical experiments and slaves under them. | |

Emotionless Reptile | |
| Red Dwarf (Tabletop Game) / int_85bbc85c | comment |
Emotionless Reptile: Iguana Sapiens are a very laid-back race who never give any indication of their feelings and who are usually tight-lipped and private unless the situation calls for it. They also never become embarrassed and don't care what other people think of them. | |

Cast Speciation | |
| Red Dwarf (Tabletop Game) / int_8dbec56b | comment |
Cast Speciation: Simulants are broken up into two different variants; Social and Rogue. Social Simulants are the type from "Gunmen Of The Apocalypse", who travel in crews and can pass for human, barring the extra eyebrows. Rogue Simulants are more reminiscent of the Simulant from "Justice" that has more exposed metal and patchwork repairs who tend to work alone. | |

The Real Remington Steele | |
| Red Dwarf (Tabletop Game) / int_94a8519b | comment |
The Real Remington Steele: The Vindaloovians were introduced in the parent series as a race made up by the Cat and Lister in an attempt to outwit a rogue Simulant. However, the Extra Bits Booklet reveals that they are an actual form of GELF who exist. The Quagaars in the series were originally the name given to a fictitious species by Rimmer, who didn't realise that the pod he was quarantining was one of Red Dwarf's own garbage pods. They are included here as an actual species and their appearance does resemble the roast chicken carcass Lister pulled from the pod. | |

| Red Dwarf (Tabletop Game) / int_b1ef5996 | comment |
Rat Men: One of the potential races you can play as is a race of evolved rat people (or Rattus Sapiens), who resemble Little Bit Beastly versions of humans (having pointier ears and "Roman"-looking noses). It is also possible to play as evolved mice people (or Mus Sapiens), who look like short humans. Notably, the Rattus Sapiens eventually appeared in an episode of the series proper, although the one specimen shown looked a lot more rat-like. | |

It is possible to play this trope straight if your character has sufficient skill points or if they're a pregenerated character with an established ability to do this, such as Ace Rimmer. | |
