About the adventure
Aboard the colony ship, something's gone terribly wrong. Who can you trust? What do you hide? Survive long enough to uncover the truth. It's up to you to save the human race and, if you can... yourself... --- Reviews --- "There are some incredible plot points, and twists and turns throughout this entire one-shot that kept our whole team on our toes!...Amazing experience!" "You could tell there was a lot of care put into this and all we wanted to do was covered. The preset characters for this one-shot were also great in that you have a general motivation and direction but have the freedom to improvise in how you reach those goals." "It was great and the table had fun with an immersive story and well worth it." --- Background --- > In a desperate attempt to escape an inhospitable Earth, the upper echelons of society have constructed an ark. > You're boarding the revolutionary New Horizon, a ship destined for the stars. > You, the crew, and this vessel are humanity's final chance at a new beginning. --- More details --- This premium cinematic experience features eerie music and sound effects, custom maps, images, and tokens. If you're looking for an adrenaline-pumping game in a sci-fi horror setting, look no further. Every pre-generated character comes with a tailored personal agenda that can work for or against your party. In this high-stakes roleplaying game, every decision and roll are important and you're at the wheel. This one-shot is an original story not rooted in Alien lore. Instead, discover a not-too-distant future where future tech can lead to the demise or survival of mankind.

About me
Warmest of greetings to you, friend! Once a professional actor and TV host, I now find fulfillment as a storyteller and a guide to the greatest stage upon which your stories will be told. Expect immersive NPCs, professional voice work, and a flair for the dramatic. Imagine the tales the local denizens would regale others with regarding your greatest battles and triumphs. There's a place for you here. The table awaits, adventurer! Your character's alignment may change over time, but as a player, you must be good. The table I use for storytelling is reserved for those who follow these tenets: - Respect everyone at the table - Put fun first (after respect) - Be open to communication

Creating your character
Characters will be pre-generated. Because each character has their own secret agenda, players will not be able to read through a character sheet prior to gametime. Expect an interesting, easy-to-run character with plenty of flexibility for your roleplaying style.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
You'll need Discord, a mic, a computer, and a solid internet connection. You can show up without reading up on the rules.
