About the adventure
A shaky transmission comes in over your comms: "I need your help-- quickly! A bounty hunter, the Oni, has captured me. I’m aboard the Hawkeye, and I’m willing to pay ten thousand Cred-.” The transmission cuts off abruptly with a whining hum, like that of a Laser Sword... Play as bounty hunters, galactic explorers, or daring space marines in a universe inspired by the likes of Star Wars, Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, The Expanse, and Doom! Dark Matter is for any player who wants a little more sci-fi in their 5E game, whether they just want to dabble with lasers or blast off in a star ship and explore strange, alien worlds. What is a "Drop-In" style campaign? Perfect for those with busy schedules, drop-in style games give you the flexibility to play when you want without the commitment of a weekly campaign. Gain gear, creds, and abilities with every session! Players choose a new mission every week!
