Campaign Name: A Cold Inky Harbour
DM: Blind Liberty (ironraven_2002)
System: D&D 5e reskined for a Sci Fi setting. Running as a Play-by-Post
Date/Time: I run off Central Standard Time, look up Chicago's timezone
Available Spots: 3-5
Preferred Player Experience: 1 year preferably
Preferred Player Age: 17+
Description:
Welcome to Greengrave — a partially tamed frontier world on the edge of known space.
Greengrave is humid, harsh, unwelcoming and unfinished. Terraforming engines whirl, grumble, misting a new atmosphere across the planet. Prefab domes cling to the shifting alien soil, and haze rolls across the plains like a slow-moving tide. The planet exists in a constant state of teetering between death and success. People survive here because they must, not because they should. In orbit above, the tether to civilization hangs in a fragile balance: Martian naval power, corporate interests, Free Crew flotillas, and unseen threats drifting just beyond sensor range. Every ship that docks brings rumors. Every jump into the system carries the feeling that something ancient and wrong is watching from the void between stars. Greengrave is not special, merely a footnote of humanity’s story. Despite that, this place may end as a grave.
This campaign will lean heavily into roleplay driven storytelling within my open ended sandbox.

I'm still running the 2014 rules! I'm an old geezer (23)

#

I've got some additional information here I didn't have room to post prior.

Within this campaign you will encounter the following:
Frontier survival & moral ambiguity; the truly selfless heroes needed by my NPCs must come from you. If you aren't up for taking the position, there likely won't be any at all.
Found family aboard a starship which began as strangers.
Corporate pressure, military authority, and personal freedom.
Cosmic dread & unknowable horrors (to be fled from more often than fought)
Tone inspiration includes:
Firefly- specifically the space western vibe and crew dynamics
The Thing and Alien with their unease, isolation, distrust, and dread induced by what may wait down the corridor.
Here there be monsters illuminated by the dim slow-burning candle of cosmic horror rather than large scale combat.
Combat exists, but it will be dangerous, brief, and consequential. Running away is often the correct choice.
