The Derelict: GURPS Space
GURPS | Campaign
About the adventure
In the far future, the peoples of the Sapient Species Consortium have discovered an ancient derelict station on the edge of known space. Representatives from the member races of the governing council of the Consortium have been selected to form an archaeological survey team to explore the abandoned starbase and determine its secrets: its origin, its purpose, who built it, and why. Are the team prepared for what they will find there? A sci-fi dungeon crawl is the start to a sweeping campaign about discovery, politics, war, survival, and horror on the frontier of the explored galaxy. Play as the humanoid Cephalopod people called the Coleans, the fungal and emotionless Greys, the four armed warrior Kiboko, the sly and stealthy Saurians, the enigmatic Machine intelligences of the Technic League, or the crystalline folk of the Pellucid Aggregate, as well as any number of baseline, genetically modified, or otherwise enhanced humans.

Jack of Tales truly lives up to his name—his storytelling is nothing short of captivating. Each session is a masterclass in immersive world-building, where every detail feels thoughtfully crafted and alive. Whether weaving grand narratives or conjuring unexpected twists, he keeps players engaged and eager for the next adventure. His ability to balance intrigue, challenge, and player agency makes every game feel unique and meaningful. I always look forward to his sessions, knowing they’ll be rich with creativity and excitement. If you have the chance to play in one of his games, don’t miss it!
