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.

Character creation

Creating your character

Characters will all be Level 1, and we will walk through character creation before the start of the game, during a short Mini-Session 0. If you have The Expanse RPG book, feel free to make a character in advance, but it won't be necessary, as I will walk us through that process.

What to expect

Preparing for the session

You should have the following: - A Discord account. - A Webcam - Access to a Google Drive (so that you can access the Player Tool document). - A browser, should we use Owlbear Rodeo.

What GM Josh @ Puzzlebox Events brings to the table

I have a player tools document I will send you that includes a character sheet, as well as several other pages of useful reference material.

Safety

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.
