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.

About me
I’m a military veteran (a long time ago), a father of several wonderful children, and an amateur mythologist, poet, and philosopher. I've been playing and running games for 42 years, a partial list of which is on my home page. I’m here to run games, and make that as easy and fulfilling as possible. Wanna see what I bring to the table? https://www.ofgodsandgamemasters.com/ and https://www.youtube.com/@OfGodsandGamemasters for my written work, my voice work, and my actual plays. I can run nearly any game, and that flexibility and wide knowledge improves all my games. I build deep, intense, and well-realized worlds, but my games and stories are player and player character driven and focused. I'll be glad to work with your table to create a custom setting and adventures that are absolutely bespoke and tailored to you!
