About the adventure
A cozy, cuddly game of magical cats working to help their humans as together they take the hopeful first steps into settling the solar system, subtly safeguarding humanity against the stresses of interstellar settlement and more exotic dangers. During session 0 we'll decide together such matters as how far along the colony is (from the first arrivals to a thriving Martian network of cities), the general genre (fantasy vs. science fiction), and other considerations for the campaign.

About me
With 19 years of GMing experience, I run player character-driven games where PC decisions can determine the entire course of campaigns--with ripple effects that sometimes even I can't anticipate (which is when I get most excited.) I specialize in historical games, with deep research into the era and an eye for accuracy. I don't run games on rails. I create settings interwoven with PC backstories and populated by NPC's who each have their own nuanced motivations, perspectives, limited information, and schemes, which are all dynamically influenced by the actions of both the PC's and each other, which can make things delightfully unpredictable as EVERYONE is forced to improvise. I especially love intrigue, horror, and involved roleplaying, but also snappy dialogue, the nitty gritty of tactical maneuvering, and character creation.
