About the adventure
Life outside of Union is hard. While Union has the benefit of aping peace while existing in a post scarcity state, beyond their borders is war, desperation, and abundant scarcity. In these places conflicts both big and small pop up and disrupt the lives of all in their wake. Available to those who can afford their services, mercenaries aid in these conflicts. For a price. Once a potent force, the Sons of Pyotr is a mercenary company run by the children of famous Lancer and priest, Pyotr. After retiring from the life of a Lancer, he left his company to his children who immediately descended into rampant factionalism. Now divided and highly competitive with each other, the children of Pyotr sell their services to the highest bidder in the hope of seizing control of the family business. Atellanna Schaba is the only daughter of the famous mercenary Pyotr, and newest inductee into the command structure of the Sons of Pyotr. Given only enough budget for 5 green pilots, she has the daunting task of making a name for herself. She chose you, for some reason believing you would be the right fit for her division of the company. Setting out to take the company for herself, and make as much money as possible, Atellanna deploys to show everyone what she and her pilots are capable of.

About me
Hello, my name is Oscar and I am a game designer and active GM! I hope to GM a wide variety of games for an equally wide variety of people so that I can experience more perspectives on TTRPG's. I like the strange and the niche and want to bring unique TTRPG experiences to life! I've been a GM since 2017 and in that time I have run a number of different types of game. From galaxy spanning space adventures to gritty and cruel low fantasy I can run a variety of different tones and settings. I tend towards more combat but I am just as happy to run more story and role-play focused games. I'm not overly attached to any one system, and if I don't already know it I'm happy to learn it. I've actively run Exalted, Lancer, Crowns, Five Torches Deep, and Shadow of the Demon Lord as well as familiarized myself with Eclipse Phase, Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay 4e, Chronicles of Darkness, Pathfinder 2e, and Cyberpunk RED

X cards stop the game if content that players are uncomfortable with comes up, N cards are used when a player feels content that could lead to an X card is coming, and O cards are used to check in on a player if you feel content may have upset them. This game uses the Lines and veils safety tools. Lines are content that players do not want in the game at all. Veils are content that players only want hinted at. The default lines and veils at this table are No Sexual Assault, No Racism, No Homophobia, No Misogyny. This game will have a 10 minute break if it goes beyond the 2 hour mark. This game also has an open door policy, so players are free to leave for any reason if they need to.
