About the adventure
This is a beginner-oriented campaign with a fairly dark tone and high threat-levels. Players are encouraged to try new things and will be rewarded for exploring their surroundings. As my knowledge of the system isn't encyclopedic, the players will have ample opportunity to learn and grow with one another and myself. Deep in the reaches of space, the Herridan microcluster sits: five star systems within relatively close proximity to one another (only a few light-years) and with thriving human exocolonies spread throughout. The systems are far from tamed, however, and enterprising spacefarers risk their lives and livelihoods to make a quick buck ferrying people and goods or exploring wasteland planets. You and your team are an established group of entrepreneurs, and your goal - as is the goal of every other soul in the systems - is to survive and make money to eventually live the good life. You have the option to set out as a small, scrappy crew of 4-to-6 people aiming to make it big in any way they can, or you can depart as part of a much larger, established crew - 30 individuals - in an all-purpose star vessel destined for success: UIV Heavensent. Take on contracts, fight for your survival, explore the vastness of space, and dive headlong into the chaos of the final frontier!

About me
Hi! My name is Asa! I'm interested in hosting TTRPG sessions because I've been passionate about the hobby since I first began it over a decade ago, and I'm always looking to meet new people and experience new voices in collaborative storytelling! As for my credentials, I'm a Dungeon Master with 10+ years of experience in the TTRPG space, and have both played and DM'd in multiple systems, including Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition (2014), Numenera Destiny & Discovery, Monster of the Week, Glitter Hearts, and Pathfinder 1st Edition. I pride myself on my ability to make memorable characters and my adaptability in storytelling. Nearly every campaign I've run has been set in custom/homebrew worlds, and I'm a huge proponent of Interactive Worldbuilding; when you have an idea, I make a concerted effort to make it work in the setting and to make sense within the world's logic. All that to say, when you book sessions with me, you're booking for my improvisational skills, storytelling ability, and my abilities to weave new concepts into existing frameworks and established lore.

Creating your character
We will create characters together in Session 0, where we will also go over the available game options, Safety Tools, and expectations for play! When we create characters, we will be using the ALIEN RPG core rulebook by Free League. If you do not have access to the book, you will be provided with a link to the PDF for your perusal.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Every player will be required to have: - Steady internet connection - Intelligible microphone - Active Discord account (https://discord.app/) - Active Roll20 account (https://roll20.net/) - Access to Google Drive tools Optionally: - Webcam
What Asa brings to the table
When you join one of my campaigns, these are some of the things you can expect at my table: - The core, necessary rulebook - Discord server - Supplemental material PDFs (as needed) - Unique combat - Lore scaffolding with ample room for interactive worldbuilding
Homebrew rules
Additional homebrew may be introduced during the campaign. If or when it is, players will be given the option to make changes to their characters, should it become relevant.

Safety
How Asa creates a safe table
I have a document that will facilitate a Session 0 and prepare players for what to expect out of the campaign. During that session 0 we will use a spreadsheet to document what topics will be allowed, will not be allowed, or may end up as part of the game; said document can be updated at any time for any reason by any participant, and I will review it before each session and alert the party to any changes I notice.
