About the adventure
After artificial superintelligences ravaged Earth, the remnants of transhumanity have been scattered throughout the solar system. These refugees are quite different from their 21st century ancestors. Minds are simply information which can be copied, backed up, reprogrammed, and forked as one would any other software. Bodies--whether grown in vats or built of metal--are ultimately just customizable shells for these minds to inhabit temporarily. Whether humans escaping as pure information, uplifted animals, or AGIs, all of humanity's intellectual descendants are on the knife's edge of extinction and you are agents of the covert transnational organization Firewall working to prevent another Fall, by any means necessary. Your particular group operates in the diverse societies in Saturn's orbit, whether that be the technosocialists on the moon TItan, the hyperintelligent researchers of Bright, the living habitat of Meathab, or the mysterious apparently half-built megastructure that the hostile superintelligences turned the moon of Iapetus into before they mysteriously vanished.

About me
With 20 years of GMing experience, I run player character-driven games where PC decisions can determine the entire course of campaigns--with ripple effects that sometimes even I can't anticipate (which is when I get most excited.) I specialize in historical games, with deep research into the era and an eye for accuracy. I don't run games on rails. I create settings interwoven with PC backstories and populated by NPC's who each have their own nuanced motivations, perspectives, limited information, and schemes, which are all dynamically influenced by the actions of both the PC's and each other, which can make things delightfully unpredictable as EVERYONE is forced to improvise. I especially love intrigue, horror, and involved roleplaying, but also snappy dialogue, the nitty gritty of tactical maneuvering, and character creation. LGBT+ Friendly I do not use AI.
