The Roll20 Virtual Tabletop is free to use once you have set up a free account. I running the Planetfall Campaign on the Roll20 Virtual Tabletop () website.ĭoes it cost any money to use the Roll20 Virtual Tabletop website? The campaign will be centered around 6 players in total, but will be able to accommodate others if necessary on a 'drop in drop out' basis.Īre you GM'ing this campaign in-person or online? I am looking for a minimum number of 4 Players, topping out at 6 in total if enough people are interested. How many open spots are there available for players? I will make it easy for participants to 'drop in and drop out' as necessary, depending upon various schedules. I am structuring the Planetfall Campaign to take into account various absences of participants during the length of the campaign. What if I can attend only some of the play sessions but not all of them? Since the start of the campaign is sometime in the Spring of 2015(approximately), establishing session days now would not be prudent as those who may want to participate may have changing schedules by then or may not even be able to participate at that time. Projected session play-times are not set as of yet. How often will you be running campaign sessions? The projected time-span is a minimum of 1 year, depending upon various schedules of those participating. I'm looking to run the Planetfall Campaign for as long as I can.
When will you be running this table-top campaign?Īs it stands now, I am looking at a projected time-line of 8 to 10 months (May 2015 to June 2015) before I am finished writing and compiling all of the rule-sets I will need to run this campaign.

The Planetfall setting will follow along a path of my own design, working off of the established setting and catapulting it into the next age of progress.Īs some of you have expressed some interest in playing in this campaign once I have finished writing it, this thread will serve as an informative resource for everything regarding the Planetfall campaign, the progress I am making towards it's inception, and necessary links for the resource books for the entire setting. It will feature more advanced technology including weapons and equipment, cybernetics, and starships. The Planetfall Campaign, as I have titled it, will take place 150 years AFTER the established time-line of the Stardrive setting.
The system also detailed a number of alien races that humanity had met along it's exploration into space.Īs some of you may be aware, I am currently working on a role-playing campaign that will take place within the Stardrive setting and use the Alternity table-top rules. Highlighting a variety of standard fare science fiction features, the game system included psionics, cybernetics, robots, spacecraft, mutants, and advanced technology and medicine. Set in the 26th century in the year 2501, mankind has colonized thousands of habitable worlds via faster-than-light technology. Originally published in 1998 by TSR, the first setting to be detailed for this system was the Stardrive Campaign setting. Stardrive () is a science fiction campaign setting for the Alternity role-playing game.
With the emergence of a new race of sentience staking it's own claim within the territories of established space, the once spacious confines of the Stellar Arm are quickly becoming constricted. Ancient hostilities prevail deep within many elements of the nation-states, threatening the peace throughout the star system. As the limits of the known cosmos are continually pushed outward however, humanity's stability is pressured from within. The known explored galaxy has seen centuries of change as stellar nations have pushed the boundaries of space and exploration in their pursuit of more power and more knowledge. A previous age of scientific and technological advancement, along with a Third Galactic War, has deposited mankind and it's allies into the Age of Energy.
