About the adventure
You awake from your berth with no memory of your past or how you came to be here. The only things greeting you are flickering emergency lights and a thawing headache. What happened and who you are are left for you to discover. Beyond this moment lies the fringe of charted space. Corporations compete for influence, raiders exploit every weakness, and authority thins with distance. Out here, survival depends on judgment, alliances, and the ability to adapt when plans fail. You can trade, negotiate, gather intelligence, or fight for what you need. Every choice has consequences. Every action shapes how others respond. Some answers are still ahead of you. Whether you pursue them or decide they no longer matter is your call.

About me
I am a dedicated Game Master who believes that the best tabletop games are built on collaboration, creativity, and fun. I enjoy creating adventures where every player has a chance to shine and every decision helps shape the story we tell together. Whether you are new to TTRPGs or an experienced player, my goal is to provide a welcoming table where you can immerse yourself in the world, explore your character’s growth, and enjoy meaningful moments with your group. I love campaigns that blend roleplay with tactical and engaging combat, always making sure the narrative evolves based on the choices you make. Whether you are looking for a ready-to-play adventure or a completely customized campaign built around your group’s vision, I will work to make it memorable. Let us create something unforgettable together.

Creating your character
Character creation will use Mongoose Traveller 2e rules and will preferably be done as a group, so we can build a shared crew identity.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
You’ll need a Discord account, a stable internet connection, and a web browser to access Foundry. If you’re new to Foundry or the Traveller system for Foundry, we’ll go over the basics together during Session 0.
What Matheus Bueno brings to the table
Expect character voices, mood-setting music, and a strong emphasis on roleplay and creative problem-solving. Combat and ship combat may occur depending on the choices you make, but they often take a back seat to narrative play. Traveller rewards clever use of your skills, so the Rule of Cool is front and center, and smart, fun solutions are always encouraged.

How Matheus Bueno creates a safe table
This campaign may explore darker themes and occasional horror moments, but player comfort always comes first. We’ll set clear boundaries together during Session 0 based on everyone’s comfort levels, and I’ll actively maintain a respectful, inclusive table so everyone can feel safe, welcome, and focused on having fun.
