There are few who can brave the great ink long enough to learn to rope stars and fewer yet with the mettle to live with the loneliness of the frontier of heaven. When a group of ropers finds themselves together, no one can tell if they’ll fight like hell or be thick as an oort cloud within the hour. Someone must think it’s worth the risk of a posse to rope a whole star nursery.

Mavericks is a game in which your character sheet is a deck of cards. As you play, the deck will change, your powers will enhance, and your story will become epic. Use this game for any genre for a story-first experience that prioritizes big-picture narrative over blow-by-blow mechanics.

This game will be great if you like poorly researched space Westerns, and non-historical histories

In the far future, humanity is an emerging spacefaring species. Asteroid mining is a booming (and unregulated) industry, and while hyper-lanes are a young technology they connect most of the major planets and space stations in The Solar System, as well as a few out-of-system routes. You're a crew of small-time cargo haulers, contracted out for a quick job transporting emergency medical supplies to a mining station located in the asteroid belt. What you find there is going to keep you a little longer than just drop-off, though...

Could the descendants of survivors from an ancient shipwreck still be alive somewhere out there, marooned on a strange planet? I wonder. The science officer has traced the signal to its source: an M-class planet. The star system is uncataloged and unique in my experience as it orbits an unstable wormhole. In two days we will arrive and begin our investigation. "

We’ve received a message from Narendra Station that a runabout called the Susquehanna has gone missing in the Carina Nebula, deep within the Shackleton Expanse. The Susquehanna was investigating an unusual alien signal that originated from the nebula when all contact was lost. We have been ordered to enter the nebula, find the runabout, and determine the origin and cause of the alien signal. Starfleet has also advised that Romulan and Ferengi ships have been sighted in the region, so we should exercise caution since they may well have detected the alien signal as well."

A group of scientists has built a marvelous flying ship that they say is capable of traveling to the moon. Of course, they also said that about the last one too. 

This time, the Red Hand’s own Guild Artificer Nigel Wrathbones is advising on the project. That’s why the Guildmaster has asked for a group of adventurers to tag along and make sure the G.S.S. Unexplodable lives up to its name. "

This game will be great if you like Star Trek (Especially Lower Decks) or Kerbal Space Program.

Players should build level 5 characters ahead. Use point-buy or standard array for stat generation. 

Any officially published content for classes, feats, ancestries, etc. is fine. Permanent flying features excluded.   

Please make a character who is working for hire and has taken this job from the Red Hand Adventuring Guild. 

Assume that as adventurers, you’ve been able to purchase any armor, standard weapon, or standard adventuring equipment worth no more than 150gp a piece. 

For spellcasters: assume you have the material components needed to cast the spells you’ve chosen. 

You can pick two magic items or weapons of up to uncommon rarity. https://www.dndbeyond.com/magic-items

CW: There will almost certainly be combat with some players and monsters at risk of death. One of the monsters is kind of gooey.

A game of DCC, led by Kevin Olmstead.

"The bizarre wizard Chyttrip seeks the 716 pure elemental decompositions of phlogiston. As any wizard worth their aqua regia knows, just as there are 716 wizard spells, there are 716 elements that compose raw phlogiston.  Some are known elements such as gold, while others are rarer and unique to specific multiversal planes. It is said that one who possesses all 716 can manipulate phlogiston at will and has the power of a god. Chyttrip has collected 651 so far and arrives in your world to collect element number 652.

What role will you play in Chyttrip’s machinations?" straightforward old-school style adventure with weird monsters and really cool treasure.

A game using the FATE Condensed rules, led by Ansel Burch.

The planet of Citun is unique in many ways, not least of which being that it is close enough to its sun to super-heat the surface and warm a pocket of air at the core sufficient to spawn life. The empty space hosts three distinct communities. The submerged community of Pasiph, the ceiling clinging people of Alaut, and the flying city suspended evenly in the open space. Tensions are mounting, and a political coupling has been proposed. The ceremony is slated to happen soon here in the flying city.

This game will be great if you like Journey to the Center of the Earth, non-human centered high fantasy, player-motivated gameplay.

We will build characters in the session.

This game will be great for new players, and the game runner knows the system well.
