This game is scheduled and paid for via startplaying.games . This will be an introductory game to the setting and the system, with no prep required on your side. Session zero is free, we are going to cover ▪️ introduction to the setting ▪️ core rules, ▪️ character and hub generation, ▪️ figuring out your starting location and situation. Game description “Outer Rim: Ogre’s Orbits” is an episodic campaign for the Borg-like indie game DEATH IN SPACE. One of the abandoned support stations orbiting over the frozen surface of the planet Ogre on the Outer Rim of the Tenebris system is back in business, and it’s all yours. Perhaps it still needs a bit of fixing here and there, some of the features might be more like in progress, but life support is online, core systems are operational, urgent handshake signals from nearby crafts are flashing up on the consoles, and those loans won’t pay themselves any time soon. In this game you will play (almost exclusively) on your own home turf, running, maintaining, expanding, and upgrading your own space station that the party recently purchased, with lots of opportunities for fleshing out and developing your characters. ▪️ Welcome and meet strange customers, repair and refuel their ships, negotiate for curious artefacts, useful devices, essential resources, and services to render, get involved in their adventures and agendas, or do just your best to earn your holos and stay out of trouble. ▪️ Contact and build tight working relations or bitter rivalries with crews of other support stations and coordination satellites in the planetary network. Reach out into near space and close orbits to explore and salvage a rich history of Ogre’s orbits and the Tenebris system. ▪️ Navigate a treacherous asteroid field of local politics, with all the factions and power groups of the planet’s gravity well trying to expand their influence or maintain the foothold they have. The fate of the station is entirely of your own choosing. What is DIS? Welcome to DEATH IN SPACE, a sci-fi/horror/recyclepunk role-playing game that puts you in the boots of blue-collar contractors, off-world survivors, and jury rig experts. Far far away in a future where Earth is not even a memory anymore, the edge of the known universe tightens its grip around a tiny cluster of systems, all that remains of the interstellar transhuman civilization. Mankind lives cramped in orbit on life support, the occasional semi-habitable planet, or is out there roaming the cosmos, salvaging and reusing whatever they can from derelict space hulks and decommissioned space stations littering deep space. But be it even so bleak and lost, there are always some who believe a better future can be salvaged from the junk, and choose to fight against the dying of light. It is up to your crew to race against time, competition, and the occasional cosmic horror to make your home in the Tenebris system. Character creation No prep or research needed on your side. We’re rolling up characters in session zero, using the rules and tables in the core rules, and you’ll be assigned easy to use character sheets on Roll20. How to prepare for the game Make sure you can connect to Roll20 audio and video before the game (and please check if your Discord's audio/video is operational, in case we have to fall back to it). Please use earplugs or headphones, and avoid playing from your phone if possible.
