It is the dawn of the 24th century, and an interesting point in time for the human race. Fifth Age chronicles the dawn (perhaps more like early mid-morning) of humanity exploring the stars and getting into all manner of trouble, fraught with peril, excitement and drama, Humanity’s first contact with alien life was a violent one, but fruitful. Equipped with the FTL technology of the alien civilization they encountered, humans could have eventually had the stars, but eventually is just never good enough. Pushing the boundaries of the technology, humans have spread farther, faster, than any species in recorded history, to the horror and dismay of other species who see humanity as a cancerous plague infecting the new frontier opened up by the enhanced hyperdrive. The solar system is divvied up by a smattering of old earth nation states, intent on keeping their grip on power while shadowy secret societies and mega corporations pull strings and manipulate events. Individual colonies might attempt to maintain their sovereignty, but eventually most bow to the will of the League of Starfaring Nations, or sell out to one of the licensed mega-corps. The thin strands binding together dozens of newly settled worlds and old earth are the spacers, daring starfarers willing to brave the dangers of hyperspace to haul freight, information, and new colonists into the frontier. Thanks to the relativistic time effects of hyperspace, these career spacers will age only a few short years while decades pass on the planet of their birth, meaning they must cast aside their old ties to friends and family, becoming a new type of culture all to themselves. Fifth Age is the story about these courageous adventurers, intrepid explorers and ruthless mercenaries, pushing the light of humanity into the deep darkness, and finding wealth, glory and adventure. We have been playing for a few months now, and recently lost one player. All is going well but it would be nice to add a bit more diversity to the party. We have a tank (synth) a "bard" (human) a melee warrior (Lizard man alien) and a ranged warrior (human). Games are played weekly on fridays at 11pm est.
