About the adventure
We will be playing through the entirety of the Draconis Strain saga (Chariot of the Gods, Destroyer of Worlds, and Heart of Darkness) using the rules from the new Evolved Edition. What happens when a delivery crew stumbles upon an old ship drifting through space? What about when a group of marines on a manhunt get more than they bargained for? And lastly, what kind of new lifeform does a science team encounter on the edge of a black hole? Each adventure will have its own crew of pre-generated characters to choose from. As we play through each scenario, the players will piece together the mystery of what's going on.

About me
I've been GMing for over 8 years, sometimes running one game and sometimes running three. I'm familiar with both adventure modules and homebrew campaigns, and I love incorporating character backstories into the game and world.

How Dave creates a safe table
With this being a horror RPG, there will be descriptions of violence, to both alien and human alike. If I ever take it too far, please let me know and I will gladly dial it back. We'll discuss lines and veils in session 0.
