True- I guess I have been lucky with players and I don't mind teaching new people the FATE system. Here are the game details Inspired by Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy, Futurama, Doctor Who, Serenity, Orville, Rick and Morty, Mystery Science 3000 and other Light hearted science fiction. In the beginning was the Creation of the Universe. This has made a lot of people angry, and has been widely regarded as a bad move. -Douglas Adams This story takes place in a back corner, of a fringe galaxy, where bureaucracy and capitalism have run amuck as different empires came and went, mostly went. This meant the wealthy got smart or dead, and those who had gotten a final leg up on the competition were quickly undercut by a company moving backwards through time. You would think super intelligent time travelers would bring lasting peace. Well you would if you’d never met a group of anything. A singular being can be brilliant, put 10 of them in a windowless room however and they’ll be fighting over what color the curtains are in 3 minutes. It turns out when a species reaches that penultimate point in evolution of nextness, of near godhood, right before they understand what it's all for! They fly off leaving everyone else to bicker while enjoying a sunny beach and drink with a umbrella in it. This story starts in the muck of an overly populated spaceport, where trying to get a boarding pass could take years wading through countless generations of regulations. Our heroes are stuck, and getting a second chance is a once in a lifetime opportunity, maybe twice but who's counting. Professor Torian Clay is an impatient and heartless rich Inventor, having traded his heart away years ago for a mere fancy blood pump. He has a constant need of parts for whatever new inventions strike him. This is what led him to buy the space hanger next to his Laboratory. Here he started the FARGO salvage company. This solved two problems, first a way to get rare and sometimes otherly legal items, and secondly a crew to boss around. After Torian won a starship gambling, got some droids out of a bin to clean up the joint. He will gladly use his new employees to make a few alterations to his totally “legal” ship. Torian doesn't hire other humans, he thinks they don't work hard enough. His obsession with Minx news has caused him to be rather speciesist. Stuck at the spaceport and broke the players volunteer to be part of the professors new experiment…I mean business. The plan is to run some fun adventures in a crazy future. So players will be asked to create their own alien species that can fit in some sort of space suite and has special ability (like super strength, speed, telepathy, poison pincers etc). Adventures will be heavy on Role play with combat and tabletop strategy. I have been GMing for many years but FATE is still new so prior Fate experience is not necessary. I Understand life > gaming and perfect attendance is not necessary but being friendly and helpful is. My goal is to have a game were we can argue and laugh in character while kicking ass. Players will be asked to create a new alien species and take part in building a universe while being part of a team. Looking for players for a One shot Monday night 7:30 to 11:00 Est.
