The Expanse: Hrothgar's Calling
The Expanse RPG | Campaign
About the adventure
CHARACTERS LEVEL AS A GROUP AT GM DISCRETION. This campaign follows the crew of the *Hrothgar's Sermon*, a Grendel Class Light Freighter out of Tycho Station. Its mixed crew of Earthers, Martians, and Belters are freelance operators from a diverse array of backgrounds with equally varied skill-sets. Some of the crew seek redemption, some serve their egos, some are on the run, a few seek knowledge & wisdom, some simply choose to serve others, and all of them are happy to do a stranger a solid if they can earn some money doing so. A lot of this game is likely to be theater of the mind with conflict scenes taking place on dynamically-lit maps. In-game discussion will use Discord for voice chat, and players are encouraged to whisper (/w) among one another freely throughout the course of a session.
All campaigns are $10 per session. Campaigns are capped at 7 seats. I want players to enjoy more time engaged in character, so I'm cutting back the number of seats.

Knows the Rules
Rock solid GM i went into a one-shot blind to the game never played it before i did not know the rules and he had me playing and having a great time in 5 minutes of logging his story telling made the time disappear and before i knew it the game was over and i didn't want to stop because i actually cared about the main characters of the story that being myself and the other players i would definitely play another game.
Really great GM, they did well managing a group for a one-shot and keeping the session running smoothly and ending on time- Where he really shines is story telling, reacting to player actions with descriptions that really painted a scene, alongside detailed visuals and effects. I could tell a lot of work went into setting up for this one-shot, much of which was unable to be really appreciated on account of time, highly recommend if you’re looking for an experienced GM.
Since joining one of Augur/Lloyd's games, I have come to look forward to an engaging, inclusive, and entertaining experience. Our Expanse RPG sessions are one of the highlights of my month, and he puts in a great deal of care and preparation to ensure that remains to be the case. Whether you're a novice or veteran gamer, you will find a welcoming community on his Discord server, where a number of reoccurring and one-shot games are hosted.
Excellent GM, very open and helpful with anyone new to the system or an experienced player who might've forgotten or misplaced a rule. I've enjoyed several of his paid games and am likely to stick around for the future. I also know him from a former pbp forum TTRPG game site he used to run called Explorers Unlimited.

How to prepare
Know your character sheets and the personality of your character. I highly encourage practicing your character and how they'll think and interact with everyday things. Make sure you have your backstory in place so we know how it is that you'll behave. Mics, a Discord account, and a Roll20 account are all required. Owning the PDFs or books will be very helpful and lead to less frustration, and so is highly recommended. Support publishers of content you love.

Gameplay details
The first hour will be focused on set-up, resolving player tech issues, and addressing any player concerns. If anything in the game or my personality is not to your liking, you're encouraged to find your fun elsewhere. A lot of this game is likely to be theater of the mind with conflict scenes taking place on dynamically-lit maps. In-game discussion will use Discord for voice chat, and players are encouraged to whisper (/w) among one another freely throughout the course of a session.
