Game System: GURPS 4e
When do you play: Alternate Thursdays, starting 2024-10-24T23:00:00Z→2024-10-25T01:00:00Z
Brief Description of the game/setting/premise:
Far future Science Fiction, specifically in the GURPS Traveller universe (Year 1120).
You will be playing a small, detached unit of Imperial Scouts working to map a subsector near (but not within) the Third Imperium. That means interacting with unknown species, doing cool science, and trying not to cause interstellar incidents when you run into aliens. The ship is small, meant for a crew of four or so competent scouts who are cross-trained in multiple areas of science, exploration, and social skills, as well as starship handling. There will be an emphasis on roleplay rather than combat.
Additional Details:
Players new to the system are welcome. Game books will be available within the Foundry virtual tabletop during play for reference. All characters will be made collaboratively during session 0.
About me: I am a 50 year old queer trans woman who has been playing GURPS since the 1990s and other TTRPGs since 1982. Professionally, I work in mental health and I am nearing the end of my graduate school journey for a degree in counseling. I love cooperative storytelling, and I want to give my players a chance to shine.
About you: Interest in role playing for the sake of role playing is important. Hopefully you like developing characters with their own motivations, and you want those motivations to work well with the other player characters.
If you are interested, tell me a little about you. I am looking for players who I can get along with on a personal level as well as in gameplay, so I will probably want to chat a bit to get to know you if I don’t already. Preference will be given to people who I already know as well as those who strike my interest.
