I’m looking for a GM and players for a post-capitalist scifi adventure game.
The game setting and system are from an indie RPG called Fully Automated! (We have a community: c/fullyautomatedrpg )
I’m one of the developers, looking for a GM and possibly players on behalf of some other players who don’t have quite enough people to start a new group.
The Game
The game takes place 100 years into our post-capitalist future. It’s cyberpunky in style, but with an optimistic, earthy flavor. It uses a custom 2d10 system, but it’s very flexible and modable if you prefer something else. The GM is welcome to use the rules as described in the manual (which are very straightforward) or just graft the campaign onto their preferred system.
We’re currently playtesting a new campaign and we’ve got a few too many players for one play group. The extra players asked if I could look for a GM and a few more players to make a second group. I’m actually a player in the first test group, and we’re 5 weeks into what is really a helluva campaign. It’s a lot of fun and very well written. I expect it to be about 10 sessions, but don’t really know.
The Campaign
The campaign is called “The 1000 Year Cleanup”. The players are sent to the backwoods of New Hampshire by a supply chain specialist who thinks that they’ve found indications of a long-buried toxic waste dumping site. Salvaged records suggest that a local landowner helped a chemical corporation illegally dump tons of toxic slag during the later years of the Global Climate War. Sixty years later, the slag is now sought after by a company that recycles toxic waste into useful, non-toxic industrial products. But the whole area is in in the process of being rewilded. Deconstruction crews are dismantling what’s left of some largely abandoned ghost towns. If the players don’t find the waste, soon there’ll be no one left to ask and no roads by which to remove it, and the toxins will simply leach into the surrounding hills in slow silence for centuries to come.
(There’s also a little twist! I don’t want to reveal it to anyone who might want to play, but if you’re interested in running the game (or just curious), message me and I’ll clue you in.)
In terms of play, it’s a bit like an extended Star Trek away mission if it took place amidst a big ecological restoration project. It’s a very cool vibe that most players will find surprisingly easy to get into. Let me know if you’d like to play!
Oh, very cool! I bought the pdf a while back and really loved the setting. I haven’t played it yet but it did inspire me to make a homebrew setting for my PF2E game in which there’s neither money nor any bartering in the part of the world where the PCs are born. It’s sparked some really interesting discussions and role playing!
That’s great to hear!
(… you wouldn’t be interested in GMing a game would you? We’ve got a few players who want to go, but we don’t have a GM for them.)
I suppose I could give it a try, sure. I’m kinda the forever GM for my regular saturday group already, so what’s a little more?
That’d be awesome! Are you on Discord? I don’t want to overburden you, but if you’re thinking about it I suggest you talk with the folks looking to play and see if the timing and vibe fits.
Here’s the link where we’re organizing it: https://discord.gg/2FtTfGGDJr
If you’re the GM, you have broad license to decide how to run it. Time, platform, rule set, whatever. I’m trying to bring the folks together, and after that I’m not going to meddle in whatever you want to do. I can share a link to the campaign docs over in Discord.
just DM’d you on discord.
