# Hello Players! This is a **Stars Without Number setting** using an **indy sci-fi system**. The campaign will be an "open world sandbox" design where players immerse themselves within the Ember Sector - a sector clawing it's way out of the ashes of a fallen galactic empire. **PCs will need to be proactive and engage the world around them** because there are no "quest givers" sitting in a tavern waiting for "heroes." Peoples, organizations, governments etc. will react realistically with their own motivations and goals. How will **you** make your way in the Ember Sector as it rises from the ashes? Exploring ancient human or alien ruins for wondrous tech? Transportation of legal or elicit goods? Mapping new hyper lanes? Salvaging derelict ships and abandon settlements? Or even fighting for a worthy cause? All are for the taking...for the right ship and right crew. ## Campaign Focus * **Exploring the hidden secrets of the Core Worlds, uncovering the mysteries of derelict ships, or trail blazing new hyperspace lanes.** * **Life in space can be hostile while planet side can be just as dangerous. Surviving environmental hazards or physical and social threats tests a character's fortitude and ingenuity.** * **Combat is lethal. Healing is slow. Rations are mandatory.** * **Remaining in character as much as possible while being true to your character's motivations, goals, flaws and personality.** ## INDY SYSTEM: We're using an indy sci-fi **skill only system** that uses 2d6 for resolution which works with the SWN book. Levels have been replaced by a point buy system to give you more freedom to develop your character. **You'll spend XP to increase your attributes, skills, specialties and psionic powers.** The rules and point buy system have been added as handouts for easy reference. If you have played a skilled based system like Star Wars d6 by WEG or World of Darkness it will be familiar. The skill system allows for greater player agency and diversity not being locked into predefined roles. __________________________ Link to game: <a href="https://app.roll20.net/lfg/listing/41671/ember-ris" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/lfg/listing/41671/ember-ris</a>...
