About the adventure
Set in the harsh ALIEN universe, PCs are in charge of starting and maintaining a successful colony by choosing which policies, installations, and projects the colony undertakes. Will you focus on strengthening the economy and production levels? Are you more concerned with scientific research? Do you simply want to keep the colonists happy? Help the colony thrive by exploring your surroundings and discovering the planet's potential. But beware the unknown, for there are many unexpected dangers on the frontier...

About me
Hello! My name is Julia, and I've been a Game Master since 2022. My favorite genre of TTRPGs to play are generally Sci-Fi, strategy, and survival, although I can have fun playing almost anything! Along with running home games with friends, I frequently volunteer to GM at my local game store, so I have experience adjusting to groups or individuals with different dynamics and expectations. *FYI* I am very flexible with game days/times, so if one of my posted games does not fit with your group's schedule, please message me!

Creating your character
We will create our characters and colony during a free Session 0. All characters will be created using the options in the Core Rulebook and the Building Better Worlds expansion. We'll use the Life Path system to fully realize our character backgrounds. Characters will be created through Foundry, but physical character sheets are also acceptable!
What to expect
Preparing for the session
A link to my Discord server will be sent after you sign up to the campaign. All further communication will be through there, so make sure you have an account.
What Julia brings to the table
I focus on roleplay and rule of cool in my games. My goal is to create a memorable story together. I always set the tone with music and visuals, and I try my best to provide interesting NPCs to interact with! Ultimately, I prefer to set a "buddies playing a ttrpg together" vibe. Despite the gritty tone of the universe, I like when players feel comfortable enough to joke around and be themselves. I don't want to take things too seriously, but rather have a good time with some cool people.

How Julia creates a safe table
After joining the Discord, I'll send you a Lines and Veils document to fill out so we can steer clear of potentially triggering topics. Players are also able to leave the session at any time with no explanation needed.
