(LFP) Action Packed Space Adventure - FIREFLY - CYBERPUNK - STARWARS - JAMES BOND - BAND OF BROTHERS - SOPRANOS

This HOMEBREW Space-Western RPG is shiny like FIREFLY, will shoot you first like SOLO, bring you back like the TERMINATOR, or just leave you LOST IN SPACE. You might die another day like JAMES BOND, fall in love with royalty like DOWNTON ABBY, end up on the streets like CYBER PUNK, hustle some drugs like CLERKS, and rob a casino like OCEANS 11, then help yourself get rescued like the A-TEAM.    My games are action packed, If you want to have a tea party call your grandma. There's going to be fighting and shooting, flying ships and chase scenes, gambling, running from the cops and getting even with those that crossed you. My players will always have motivation and goals in my games. I will always give people options so you won't be railroaded but I will keep the game on the tracks and moving along.   The Federal Alliance of the Planets (F.A.P.) declared all of space is under their authority. Divided, the outer worlds failed to organize a united resistance. Faced with war, middle planets ruled by tyrants and criminal syndicates bought federal politicians and became officially recognized as local royalty and have legalized their extortion from within the law. The Independence Movement Militias (I.M.M.) eventually formed from planets that resisted and fought a futile war against the better armed Alliance. The few small I.M.M. victories only pushed the F.A.P. to destroy entire planets that stood in its way with massive star destroyers or wipe planets clear of life with terminator robots.  Ten years later, even after declarations of amnesty, what is left of the I.M.M movement hides deep in space or underground conducting gorilla attacks often focusing on liberating illegal slave  and POW camps, stealing weapons or sabotaging F.A.P. installations. Their acts are portrayed by the media as terrorism but celebrated by the commoners. For citizens that obey, the new government sells back your rights in exchange for a slow death by a thousand cuts of endless taxation. The life is mostly working just to earn some fake food, air and water, and is not far from slavery. A few still hold on to the dream of a better life if they can just get a chance to break out into space. Intolerance of the law or even speaking out against politicians might get you “randomly” drafted for settlement on a barren planet or internment at a gulag work camp like those that tried to fight for independence years ago. Government corruption is censored to re-enforce the propaganda of nationalism. Meager handouts and patriotic celebrations demonize thoughts of fair and equal democracy. Legal rights are nothing but lies told to make the tax slaves feel free while the political elite live above the law. Revolutionaries promise change but are just as willing to steal from and kill innocent people to support their cause as the government is. There is a lot of space out there and running might be the best option before you get tied down to money, love or ideals. The planets of deep space are hungry for goods. If you can get a ship you can make decent coin, but rights to trade might be owned by local gangs or officials with customs and bribes to be paid. Space pirates might be worse than the asteroids but better than the government. Lots of people never take to settling down on land and live a life free floating in the stars. These drift stations need goods and sometimes some protection if you are good in a fight. Food might buy you friends, drugs might buy you sex, money might buy you love, and guns are the only thing that buys you freedom. The loyalty of your crew might be the only thing on your ship that doesn’t break, but sometimes you have to do things you don't want to keep your ship flying.  Firewinds is a fair, easy to learn RPG system that allows for lots of role-play creativity and character development without class restrictions . Use a quick worksheet to make a character in 10 minutes and be ready to start role playing.  Everyone has the same targeted AC system that allows you to target opponents weaknesses. The new magic system in version 10 can help you grasp the force and improve your skills,  make your attacks and defenses better, or even save your life.    YOU MUST HAVE DISCORD AND A MIC We post when we are going to play in our discord and use discord voice chat in our games.  18+ WITH GROSS VIOLENCE AND HORRIBLE LANGUAGE  Or at least be 16 and act like and sound like you are 18, and never tell us you're not.  THIS IS NOT DND 5E  It's ok that  you don't know how to play this game,  I will help you. It's designed to be easy to learn. When you start, all macros are already made for your character sheet. I will tell you when and where to click a button to roll until you figure it out yourself.  THIS IS A CLASSLESS AND RACELESS  RPG SYSTEM  You are a human barbarian/wizard/rogue/assassin/healer/bard. You are not prohibited from doing things by stupid class and race restrictions designed to disable your character.  THE MAGIC SYSTEM AND SPELLS ARE DIFFERENT THAN DND 5E If you want to use magic you will need to read the spellcasters guide and the spells up to the level you are before you try to cast a spell. Your God has blessed you with a few spells and prayers to protect you and help you against your enemies, but you will have to fight with your weapons, magic and courage if you want to succeed. FOLLOW THE STORY, BE A HERO,  DONT BE A MURDER HOBO,   Only a limited amount of railroading when necessary to advance the story in an endless open world setting. This is a story of heros- not murder hobos rapists, if you want to be a murder hobo rapist please find friends somewhere else. BE COOL, I play to be social and make friends. If you're not a nice person who wants to make friends and hang out with others and help each other succeed you're probably not going to fit in.  I do about 80% combat 20% roleplay but some sessions are just combat. If you want more roleplay, start it yourself with other players and npcs, it's not just the GMs Job.  I record our games for future youtube use or podcasts and by playing you consent to releasing all rights to any ideas or content you produce and the use of your voice and likeness, we will not use your full name or release personal information about you. There will be a new game starting Wednesdays at 10am MST, high noon Eastern, if you can play then post when you are able to play in the comments .   If you have a group of 3 or more close friends and a set time when you all meet weekly or bi weekly I can run a free private game for you and your friends. I also play an ongoing pick up game a few times a week whenever we can get a few players. I will message everyone on discord when it starts, or can answer any of your questions there.
