About the adventure
Deep space is calling, but will you answer? Whether it be the odd phenomena of Kazmurg's Absurdity, the brutality of the Swarm, or one of the infinite mysteries spanning Desna's Path, the universe is primed for your next adventure. Welcome Folks! The Deep Space Anthology is a full 1 to 20 campaign for Starfinder 2nd Edition. Your tale begins in Kazmurg's Absurdity, far removed from the societies of the Pact Worlds. Your journey will take you across the galaxy on a myriad of diverse, dangerous, and sometimes deranged adventures. --- Campaign Duration I'm predicting that this campaign will take 35-45 sessions to complete. Players must be able to commit to the game on a weekly basis for the duration of the adventure. Where in Space? This will be a planet-hopping campaign that begins in Kazmurg's Absurdity. The campaign will take the party across the Vast, the Szandite Collective and much, much more. Experience Required Players must be able to build a level 1 character and have a basic understanding of the SF2E ruleset. (First-time players welcome).

About me
Just an enjoyer of pretty much anything fantasy related. Avid fan of anime, survival horror games and TTRPGs of all flavors. I got my start with TTRPGs back in high school and have been hooked ever since. My GMing style puts equal focus on both combat and roleplay. I put a strong focus on making my games a safe space where folks of all backgrounds can roleplay and enjoy themselves. (Banner done by sarahwidiart: https://vgen.co/sarahwidiart) I also make content for Pathfinder Infinte and the DMs Guild!

What Cody McGraw brings to the table
*I host a private discord server that only includes myself and the players from my campaigns. I will DM you a link to this server upon your joining the campaign. *I use TheForge platform of Foundry VTT to host my campaigns via internet browser. The Forge link will be pinned in the Handouts channel of the discord group. *On Foundry VTT I use Maps, Music, and a number of user-made modules to assist with system automation.
