Edge of the Badlands - Star Trek TNG Era Role Play

Creating your character

In our zero session the group will work together to create characters that serve as the officers on the U.S.S. Romero. Together we will make sure that the characters work together, & what sort of stories the group would like to explore as they explore strange new worlds! We will also discuss lines & veils for the game(please Private message me ahead of time if your uncomfortable with expressing these in a live chat). For those that join later, a one on one zero session will be scheduled outside of the normal game time to make you a character. Afterwards communication & further background info will be conducted with everyone via a discord channel on the server I use. No character's will be approved prior to the zero session. This includes pre-generated characters, & all players will be required to meet the same character creation expectations of the table, which may vary from group to group.

Preparing for the session

A discord account with quality microphone that allows for clear communication without undue background noise & a stable internet connection. Those who are operating on mobile hot spots will not be fast enough to stay connected with foundry. A PC that can meet the requirements to run Foundry Virtual Tabletop. Netbooks & chrome books I have found in the past do not meet meet these requirements. Please reference the prep materials for a demo link to foundry VTT to test your PC to make sure its capable of running it before our first session. These are the minimum tech needs to play in my games.

What Dean brings to the table

I will supply foundry VTT for all the players to log into, as well as all graphics, ambient music & rules for play.

How Dean creates a safe table

Set just after the federation has taken control of Deep Space Nine in the year 2369, this game will depict the crew of the U.S.S. Romero, a federation ship dispatched along the border of the Cardassian Union. This campaign will primarily focus on the area of space surrounding the cardassia, bajor, & the demilitarized zone. Though not all stories will involve the histories of these cultures, a general theme will be the wormhole at DS-9, & the eventual start of the dominion war. Missions from star fleet will be many & as varied as is seen on the TV-shows, with one off stories taking place at a decent pace. At the start of the campaign, the player characters will be serving under the legendary andorian captain Roth Shran, the modern day descendant of Thy'lek Shran. As the campaign progresses, Captain Shran will eventually retire allowing the PCs to fully command the U.S.S. Romero. Sexual content will always fade to black & only occur between consenting characters. Lines & veils will also be honored & set up ahead of the campaign via discord chat, so that I can fine tune any plot content to avoid things players may not want to face in game. Additionally, I am always online via my discord both during & outside of game should you need to bring something to my attention, whether thats a veil thats being approached too close or something makes you uncomfortable.
