About the adventure
Three hundred thousand years ago, they laid the foundations upon which our civilisations grew. Then they disappeared. Throughout this campaign, Player Characters will have the opportunity to learn their secrets and uncover answers to questions that kept scientists and philosophers awake for millennia. You will uncover the Secrets of the Ancients. In this Campaign, Players will be thrown in the middle of a secret war waged through aeons and thousands of parsecs and ultimately will have the opportunity to shape the future (and past) of the Galaxy. On their way will encounter intelligence agencies, cults, truly ancient technology, criminal organisations, and much more. We will be playing with Mongoose Publishing Second Edition Traveller (Updated).

About me
Ever since early childhood I loved telling stories. Back in late 80s and early 90s I had "Grimm's fairlytales" on cassetes (for Gen Z: analogue recording of voice/music on magnetic tape ;D), and loved listening to them over and over again, to the point that I had them memorised and during frequent travels by train I used to entertain our travel companions with those tales. Word. by. word. No wonder then, that when I first learned about a GAME that lets you TELL STORIES I fell in love instantly and this love is burning brightly for over 20 years. Even despite angering some ancient being into cursing every single of my dicerolls.

Creating your character
We will create Characters during session 0. All characters will have connections with each other, as well as several key NPCs.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
I'll provide all necessary materials, so Roll20 and Discord accounts (both free), and decent microphone (sadly: not free) will be needed on your part.
What Michał brings to the table
* Roll20 Pro account with dynamic lighting, ambiance, and sound effects for improving immersion, * Years of experience running Traveller as well as introducing new players to this system, * Most of published Mongoose material, * For those interested, I will run not connected "Death Station" one shot, as a way to give the option to familiarise/refresh you with Traveller mechanics and my style as a Referee.

How Michał creates a safe table
During Session 0, we will go over game and table rules, including lines and veils document, create our Travellers and connections between them, as well as several NPCs crucial to the campaign. Player Characters will experience a series of adventures ranging from investigations and wilderness survival all the way to cosmic horror and dungeon crawls. Therefore, a wide variety of skills will be necessary to succeed in uncovering Secrets of the Ancients.
