Setting Suns Space Opera

Star Wars D6, Traveller on Discord, Google Meet, Skype, Zoom

About the adventure

Stunning settings for your baroque space opera adventures! High science fantasy in a sandbox-styled cosmos. For fans of Larry Niven's Ringworld, Orson Scott Card's Ender's Game, Star Wars, Flash Gordon, Lensmen series, etc. Classic Traveller, Basic Roleplaying, FGU's Space Opera are preferred game systems, but willing to use game group's choice of system. For a more cinematic and cyberpunk spin on things Cyberpunk 2020 could be considered. The game world is the thing, after all. Setting Suns is an original space opera setting supported by published adventure content, regardless of system, as long as the ideas in the publication are "good". I take the best ideas of my favorite science fiction stories and back these with the best ttrpg adventure content to match.

Additional Details

How to prepare

The game will be an online experience so a webcam/mic will be required. Reliable internet connection of course. Discord account is helpful but not necessary. Use of video chat platform is open, I have my favorites, you have yours. We all can find one which works for the group. If possible, game system will be chosen based on price (free) and availability (PDF) so there will be no cost barrier to entry. Knowing the rules of the game are not necessary. Only requirement is an enthusiasm for the genre being played!

What I provide

I will bring a thorough grounding in the tropes of the genre to be played, an original, living world to explore and quality adventure material being used. This will be an online game, so visual aids will be at a minimum. Illustrated maps and images of important site locations will be posted during the game, but otherwise a fairly old school approach to table top play. Priority is placed on NPCs worth interacting with, adventures worth going on, and a world worth exploring.

Gameplay details

Bizarre creatures and the breaking down of cosmic realities, post-apoc zombie hell and ascendent alien encounters are all possibilities.

How will character creation work

Characters are created per rule system being used (Traveller 2e/CT or Fantasy Game Unlimited's Space Opers. Whether this is done as a group in a session zero or characters are created before play is fine either way. Important goal is to get into the actual game during the first online session.
