About the adventure
This is the story of the Amaranthine Haven, a recently inherited Far Trader ship, and her crew as they navigate the tense fringes of the Third Imperium with war brewing on the horizon. Caught up in politicking and counter-espionage between the Zhodani and Vilani, the crew has lost some members along the way, and needs to keep flying. They're recruiting new crew in Yori, but news from Regina (and a possible legal entanglement over the ship's ownership) is about to pull the team back there. Will you join their team and explore what the Spinward Marches can offer you?

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.
