About me
"He’s like Mrs. Dalloway, but with dice." - my favorite review ever Well met, fellow human! Let's sit down and come up with a story, something that we'll be remembering fondly for years afterwards. Let's make up stupid voices and get all emotional over a fake donkey, let's turn up the battle music and feel tension as the enemy moves across the field. Let's create some badass moments. As you may have gathered, I'm a big fan of the collaborative nature of tabletop roleplaying. I believe the game runs best when I don't know what's going to happen next, you don't know what's going to happen next, and we're all just frantic with excitement about the next roll of the dice. We play to find out what happens.

How Brayden creates a safe table
CW: Dead Suns is on the whole a fairly optimistic adventure about a group of heroes racing against time to stop the dastardly villains from getting their hands on a superweapon, but the nature of the evil they confront means that heroes should come prepared to face some grisly material. In particular, the undead and body mutilation play a significant role in the campaign. You'll be joining the Starfinder Society, a group of galactic explorers and troubleshooters. You will get drawn into a mystery that threatens the entire universe, and have to employ all the tools at your disposal in order to solve the mystery of the Dead Suns. Expect equal parts roleplaying, combat, and exploration of the wider Starfinder setting, including frequent hops between planets and star systems. Starship combat will also play a role in this campaign, giving your characters a chance to work as a team and engage in high-pressure dogfighting amongst the stars.
