About the adventure
Step into the shadows of the Dark Matter universe as agents of the Concordance Intelligence Bureau—an elite, deniable-operations intelligence division tasked with protecting the stability of the galaxy. The DriftNet is under attack: megacorporations, rogue Gatecrashers, and techno-mystic cults are all scrambling to seize control of a newly discovered Root Node, a pre-Concordance data megastructure capable of rewriting the flow of information across known space. Your team will infiltrate orbital stations, intercept encrypted transmissions, sabotage corporate black sites, and navigate political intrigue at the highest levels of the Concordance Senate. Every mission shapes the wider war, and your actions directly influence two other player teams running parallel campaigns as rival factions. This is a living, reactive galaxy where espionage, deception, and hard choices define your path. Expect tense infiltration, high-stakes diplomacy, covert operations, and the moral weight of deciding who should control the truth itself. If you enjoy tactical problem-solving, narrative intrigue, and a gritty sci-fi tone, this campaign is built for you.

About me
I like to learn new RPGs and systems so picking up a new game type is easy and enjoyable. I prefer open world type DMing based on the players backstories and play preferences. I never liked railroaded scenarios or DMs that ignored the actual players. That is why I got into DMing. I like to create open worlds when I can and do use or start from premade scenerios sometimes but like to create the world.
