The Expanse RPG

About the adventure

Strap in, and get ready for a hard burn. Here comes the juice! Play out this sandbox adventure as a crew of your own interplanetary spaceship in the Expanse setting, based off of the Novels and TV show of the same name by James S.A. Corey! The adventure starts somewhere between the books 'Leviathan Wakes' and 'Caliban's War'(or season 1 and 2 of the show), the UN and Mars are at the brink of war all while Eros has been rumored to have thrown itself sunward and the Mormons cry foul of Tycho Corp for stealing their interstellar generation ship before its completion. Are the rumors true? Did mars destroy the Canterbury? Is Earth conducting a secret war? And if so who could benefit from a system wide war?

Additional Details

How to prepare

You will need a working microphone as well as a discord and Roll20 account. Character sheets and all other necessary tools will be provided digitally.

What I provide

All rules, adventure material, and maps are provided. I also bring a deep passion for this setting and mechanics involved in telling this story!

Gameplay details

Gameplay is varied. With as much weight put on social encounters as combat. Quick decisions and tactical choices not just in combat situations, but also in social and investigative encounters are encouraged and sometimes necessary. The setting is vibrant and bleak all at once, with a full range of cultures and economic backgrounds.

How will character creation work

Character creation will take place during a free session zero as a group in Roll20 and on the assigned Discord server. Other arrangements are negotiable but I personally think it's best to create the characters as a group.

Players can expect

• Find a game to join solo or search for a professional game master for you and your friends/coworkers/family.
• Book your session and wait for the Game Master to approve you.
• If you don't have a blast with your first game, your next game is on us.
