Toys in the Ghost Ship
Game master: Peter Fendrich Date and Time: Saturday, Nov. 7th 7:00-11:00pm EST. Venue: TBA Players: 3-4 players
This game will utilize the official The Expanse rpg ruleset, powered by AGE system.
Step into the magnet lined shoes of a ragtag group of TOTALLY LEGITIMATE entrepreneurs scrounging for work out in the belt. Set right at the close of the novel Leviathan Wakes, the party has just rolled into Tycho Station looking for a job when apparently Fred Johnson lost his mind and decided to sling the big fancy ship he'd been building for the mormons at Eros Station. That naturally has everyone a bit on edge... the rumors flying around about the bioweapon someone had set loose on Eros aren't helping ease the tension either. The UN, Mars, OPA, seems like everyone's got a theory... the whole system is turning into a powderkeg, and you and the crew are sitting right on the fuse, without enough cash to fill up the ship.
But now you have the one thing you came to Tycho for: a job. A good old fashion salvage run, simple and clean. A salvage run deep in the void, where hopefully you can avoid the pending interplanetary war for at least long enough to get a read on the situation. Camina Drummer hired you to find the ghost ship, find out why it went dark, and bring back anything of value. Just like that... simple and clean... afterall, when has cutting into a ghost ship ever ended poorly?
The Kingdom of Floriston
Gamemaster: Mary Date and Time: Saturday, Nov. 7th 7:00-11:00pm EST. Venue: TBA Players: 3-5
King Potentate has ruled the Kingdom of Floriston with justice and mercy. Under his reign, the land and people flourished. Life was idyllic, peaceful, and serene.
But his eyes are now clouded over and much of his time is spent in the conservatory of flowers, gently napping. An old prophecy of the kingdom’s doom is whispered in court, of a lock and there are reports of darker magics at work.
Players can make their own 3rd level characters or the GM will have a selection of pre-made characters to choose from.
