About the adventure
Calling all Free Traders, come in Free Trader..... Hello! And Welcome. My Name is Dylan and this is my homebrew Traveller campaign. The story we tell here together will be largely based off the characters you make to build your crew. This campaign will be inspired by the TV show Firefly, and the movie Serenity, but will be completely your own. If you want to come explore the stars with a crew of fellow Travellers, look no further. And remember, no matter what, they can't take the sky from you.
Game style
Rules as Written (RaW)
Games that are ran “Rules as Written” emphasize realism and stick to the letter of the rules, allowing players to explore creative solutions while still operating under a consistent rule set. Players have the ability to utilize the rules in creative ways to create awesome characters and moments in the game.
Rule of Cool (RoC)
“Rule of Cool” emphasizes creative story beats over sticking to a system’s rules as written. Players have the ability to push the limits of the rules or even break core rule mechanics at times if the Game Master thinks it is interesting, fun, or cool enough.
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.
Upon joining game, players will see a Discord link under prep materials. Once joining Discord server, myself or one of my mods will walk you to through getting added to the game chat for the game you have joined. VTT access and character creation will be done as a group in session 0, so that the party can be built as a group and we can find fun ways to link characters. Players joining a game after session 0 will have 1-on-1 paid session 0 with me to catch you up on the story, the party, variant rules being used, and help making a character and find a good way for them to be brought into the story that you are happy about.

How will character creation work
With how important character creation is to this system. Players should not create a character on their own prior to session 0. Character creation will happen together in the VTT, that I will link to all players. We will make characters during session 0, so the players can work with each other to come up with a good team that they are all excited to play.
