About the adventure
The galaxy is loud. Neon megacities pulse beneath artificial stars. Chrome-plated bounty hunters hunt criminals through holographic arcades. Corporate fleets wage cold wars in the void while smugglers blast synth music through failing starship speakers as they outrun patrol frigates. And somewhere between all of it? You. Welcome to Stellar Nomadic, a stylish retro-futuristic Starfinder campaign inspired by colourful 80’s sci-fi aesthetics, cosmic road-trip adventures, space westerns, synthwave visuals, and chaotic found-family storytelling. You are the crew of a wandering starship trying to survive in a galaxy overflowing with opportunity, danger, and absurdity. One week you might be transporting illegal cybernetics through neon casino stations. The next you could be escaping a luxury moon resort during a robotic uprising, entering outlaw hoverbike races through asteroid tunnels, or negotiating with alien crime syndicates inside a glowing space nightclub.

About me
I’m a passionate Game Master with a deep love for storytelling, immersive roleplay, and cinematic gameplay. I’ve been running tabletop RPGs for several years, with a focus on Daggerheart, Cyberpunk RED, Masks and more recently diving into some horror systems like Mothership. I specialise in crafting adventures with strong narrative arcs, dynamic NPCs, and a focus in player-driven choices that shape the world. My background includes years of experience in creative project management, which I now pour into building engaging campaigns, and memorable one-shots. Whether you’re a brand new player or a seasoned veteran, my goal is to create a fun, inclusive, and welcoming table where everyone gets a chance to shine. I love blending roleplay with tactical encounters, mystery, and moments of levity, and I’ll always make sure your character has a place in the story. Let’s roll some dice and tell an epic story together!

What to expect
Preparing for the session
Players should prepare by creating a character who feels like they belong in a colourful retro sci-fi adventure full of chaos, personality, and found-family energy. No deep knowledge of Starfinder lore is required. New players are absolutely welcome. Before Session 0, players should: * Have a basic character concept in mind * Think about why their character lives a wandering life among the stars * Consider what role they fill aboard the crew * Be ready for a collaborative, roleplay-heavy experience
What KingTasty (Elliot) brings to the table
As a GM, I focus heavily on: * collaborative storytelling * cinematic encounters * immersive roleplay * strong character arcs * balancing comedy with emotional storytelling * making every player feel central to the crew’s story Expect a game where your decisions matter, your character relationships evolve naturally, and the galaxy reacts to your reputation and actions.
Homebrew rules
The campaign will use a streamlined, narrative-focused adaptation of the Starfinder rules designed specifically to keep play-by-post pacing smooth, cinematic, and roleplay-driven without getting bogged down in excessive mechanical complexity.

Safety
How KingTasty (Elliot) creates a safe table
Player comfort and safety are a priority in this game. Given the intense and cinematic nature of the story, there may be moments of emotional bleed between player and character, and we’ll handle it with awareness and respect. I operate with an open door policy, meaning you can always reach out to me privately at any time if something feels uncomfortable, overwhelming, or just not fun. We’ll adjust as needed—no questions asked. The goal is to create a space where everyone can enjoy the story, feel heard, and engage at their own comfort level.
