About the adventure
Escape from Eros is a blend of cosmic horror, survival, and a little bit of a hunted house story. You and a ragtag crew of strangers will have to come together to survive and escape an otherworldly attack on one of the most populace stations in The Belt. Knowledge of The Expanse series and its lore is preferred, but not needed. I will give a breakdown of anything you need to know prior to character creation. I will provide blank character sheets, and player tools, as well as walk players through character creation in a fast-tracked "session 0". This one-shot is designed as a tutorial for The Expanse RPG and will not require familiarity with the system.

How GM Josh @ Puzzlebox Events creates a safe table
During a Mini-Session 0, we will discuss Lines and Veils as well as character creation. The content of this one shot can get intense, but that can exist on a dial. Should players not be comfortable with certain elements of the story, I can and will dial that aspect back.
