Traveller: Singularity | What Should Humanity Become?

Creating your character

Characters will be created during Session 0 with my assistance, so no prior Traveller experience is required. New players are absolutely welcome. We'll use standard Traveller 2e character creation, including the full life-path system where your character's history, careers, skills, allies, rivals, and life events are generated before play begins. By the end of Session 0, you'll have a fully realized character with personal connections to the setting and campaign. Characters will begin as ordinary Travellers rather than heroes or chosen ones. Whether you are a former scout, scientist, noble, merchant, marine, agent, or something stranger, your character will start as a capable individual whose experiences and decisions shape the story. As the campaign progresses, those same characters may find themselves influencing events on a galactic scale. The Core Rulebook is all that is required. Additional options from approved supplements may be discussed on a case-by-case basis during Session 0. My priority is creating characters that fit the themes of mystery, discovery, identity, and the future of intelligent life while ensuring every character has a meaningful place in the story.

Preparing for the session

Create a free Discord account. Join the campaign Discord server. Ensure they have a reliable internet connection and a quality microphone/headset. Obtain access to the Traveller rules (help will be provided for new players). Read any campaign materials, handouts, or introductory information provided before the game.

What Ashley brings to the table

I run immersive, character-driven campaigns where player choices matter and the story evolves around the actions, goals, and relationships of the crew. I enjoy weaving character backstories directly into the campaign, ensuring every Traveller has personal stakes in the mysteries, discoveries, and challenges they encounter. Expect atmospheric music, detailed maps and handouts, custom journals, character voices, and a rich Foundry VTT experience. Exploration, investigation, diplomacy, and problem-solving are just as important as combat, and many situations can be approached in multiple ways. While Traveller can be dangerous, I focus on meaningful consequences rather than arbitrary character death. My games balance rules knowledge with narrative flexibility. I generally follow the rules as written, but I'm happy to reward creative solutions and clever plans when they fit the story and setting. Players who engage with the world, pursue their own goals, and collaborate with the group will find plenty of opportunities to leave a lasting mark on the campaign. Singularity is a campaign about big ideas, difficult choices, and the future of intelligent life itself. Whether you're debating the ethics of consciousness transfer, negotiating with powerful factions, uncovering ancient secrets, or exploring the limits of what humanity can become, the focus will always be on meaningful decisions and their consequences.

How Ashley creates a safe table

Creating a welcoming, respectful, and inclusive table is important to me. Before the campaign begins, we'll hold a Session 0 to discuss expectations, campaign themes, character concepts, table etiquette, and any topics players would prefer to avoid or handle off-screen. I use several safety tools, including Lines & Veils, the X-Card, and open-door policies. Players are always welcome to step away, message me privately, or raise concerns during or after a session. Safety tools may be used verbally, through Foundry, or through private messages—whatever is most comfortable for the player. This campaign explores themes such as identity, mortality, consciousness, artificial intelligence, and societal change. While these topics can become thought-provoking and emotionally complex, player comfort always takes priority over the narrative. We will work together to ensure the game remains engaging, collaborative, and enjoyable for everyone at the table. After sessions, I encourage feedback through discussion and Stars & Wishes so that I can continue tailoring the campaign to the interests and comfort levels of the group. My goal is to create a table where players feel safe exploring challenging ideas while knowing their boundaries will be respected.
