Garbage collecting crew ends up as humanity's last hope

Garbage collecting crew ends up as humanity's last hope

Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign

About the adventure

The story follows the daily lives of a garbage collecting crew, as they navigate through deep space with the task of ridding it of thrash. As it were, their job as garbage dispensers takes a deadly turn which sends them on a journey of unprecedented danger and high stakes. In fact, it is the deeds of this crew that will determine the fate of billions of star citizens. Set in the Spelljammer setting, with a tablespoon of home-brew elements. The tone of the story is grim dark and high fantasy, with a touch of dry humour. Descriptivly its a hybrid of Star Wars (80's trilogy), the 5th element and Aliens 2. - TTRPG: D&D 5e - Main themes: dark/gritty fantasy, mystery, intrigue - Strong focus on player's backstories (if provided) - Crunchy traditional turn based combat is kept to a minimum (because it destroys the story/game's momentum), instead we opt for a more cinematic approach to action (while still respecting the original ruleset, to a degree). - Session 0 and session 1 are free of charge *the date & time of each session is determined together with the players, I have a dynamic job schedule so a consistent date is difficult to maintain, however, I do plan on having 2-3 sessions per month for this campaign*

Game style

Roleplay Heavy

“Roleplay Heavy” games place the focus on the story, the characters, and the world they live within, and tend to lean hard into the various roleplaying elements of the game. These games will frequently find the party talking with NPCs, exploring the personal elements of their backstories, or even having emotional moments around the camp fire.

How to prepare

You need Discord and a mic., a webcam is a bonus but not a necessity. The rules and particularities of this campaign will be discussed on session 0, or send me your questions beforehand.

What I provide

The game is played solely through discord or a similar voice, video app. No VTT's. I find the game to work best with only theatre of the mind. Adding anything else seems to diminish the experience, breaking immersion - in my opinion.

Gameplay details

Players can expect fast paced combat and occasional background music. Character creation is what you might expect, any questions regarding this = feel free to send me a message or wait until session 0.
