About the adventure
A space opera concerning the end of a galaxy-wide war, and the fallout of alien relations. A team is put together by a wealthy patron of mercenaries to begin salvaging the trillions in assets spanning the galaxy. The team is given a high-end ship, crewmen, and consists of elite scientists, soldiers, and androids. Their journeys continually take them into politics, species debate, military reform, criminal activity, and into the greatest hubs of trade.

How to prepare
Bring a solid character idea, and maybe character art, with a token. You'll need to have Discord to communicate. Reading GURPS 4e Basic Set is all that I ask, additional books & rules will become available as needed. The players should also make sure they have GCS (see above).
What I provide
Foundry VTT, which is free to players, a library of GURPS 4e books that will be available to players, and custom art assets & maps, some powered by AI. Ambient music may be available in story missions and hubs of travel. Players can expect a fair amount of combat and puzzles, but primarily their focus should be on roleplaying their character as well as they can. 4th Wall Breaks will be at a minimum, and heavy roleplaying will be asked of all involved.
Gameplay details
The GM and players will have a Session 0 where they discuss content they don't want to see, and how to go forward so everyone is happy. Players can also discuss breaks, as needed, for longer sessions.

How will character creation work
Character Creation will take place individually, with each respective player and the GM. Once both parties agree, the characters will be introduced to each other in a Session 0, which will include meshing the characters. Character Creation will remain active until Session 3, meaning players can fiddle with their character for a bit to make sure it is a right fit. This is to ensure everyone is having fun with their characters, and no one feels like they wasted points on a feature. Character will be created in GURPS Character Sheet (GCS), which is a free program with comprehensive data on GURPS 4e.
