The Expanse: Dust and Treachery
The Expanse RPG | Campaign
About the adventure
Strap in, and get ready for a hard burn. Here comes the juice! Play out this sandbox adventure as a crew of your own interplanetary spaceship in the Expanse setting, based off of the Novels and TV show of the same name by James S.A. Corey! The adventure starts somewhere between the books 'Leviathan Wakes' and 'Caliban's War'(or season 1 and 2 of the show), the UN and Mars are at the brink of war all while Eros has been rumored to have thrown itself sunward and the Mormons cry foul of Tycho Corp for stealing their interstellar generation ship before its completion. Are the rumors true? Did mars destroy the Canterbury? Is Earth conducting a secret war? And if so who could benefit from a system wide war?
New players welcome! Free Session Zero, I'll guide you through the character creation process! The Expanse RPG is great for players that want to stay for a limited run or jump in at any point! This sandbox campaign will be every Saturday unless another arrangement is reached within the group!

Andrew is the best! He’s been my GM for a year now. I was very new when I joined his campaign and he always has so much patience with all of my questions. I give him my highest recommendation to all players.

Andrew DMing is good he can be as chaotic as the players that make your self think twice before you execute a ideal in the best way possible.

Andrew is a great GM. He ran The Expanse for me, and to run that game you have to have an understanding of physics, the solar system, as well as the lore of the show/books. Andrew is a master of all of those aspects, and that helped with my immersion.

Andrew is well worth the money. In the Expanse game I play, he is patient as he explain things to me (since I am a new player to that system). In 5e game, he allowed for a creative build. He is a good roleplayer and does nice accents/voices to add to the immersion. He even does things like having prior games action's affect the next games he runs. With all the different games and GMs on StartPlaying, I'm very happy with my discovery of Andrew. Three thumbs up.
Additional details
How to prepare
You will need a working microphone as well as a discord and Roll20 account. Character sheets and all other necessary tools will be provided digitally.
What I provide
All rules, adventure material, and maps are provided. I also bring a deep passion for this setting and mechanics involved in telling this story!
Gameplay details
Gameplay is varied. With as much weight put on social encounters as combat. Quick decisions and tactical choices not just in combat situations, but also in social and investigative encounters are encouraged and sometimes necessary. The setting is vibrant and bleak all at once, with a full range of cultures and economic backgrounds.

How will character creation work
Character creation will take place during a free session zero as a group in Roll20 and on the assigned Discord server. Other arrangements are negotiable but I personally think it's best to create the characters as a group.
