About the story
Join the space crew on a long-haul flight.
You are keen for adventure, and this ship offers the opportunity to get out there and explore the Universe.
The exact mission is a mystery - and commercial considerations can get in the way of pure science. And cost cutting can create it’s own problems.
Still, it is an interesting group of people, and there is the opportunity to investigate one of the great mysteries alluded to by those who have gone before you…
About the game style
This game will allow a lot of opportunity for players to develop their own character and influence the story.
There will be a stead progression through events - key events are pre set but there is a high level of opportunity for players to shape the detail and the outcome.
I plan to move the scene on once a week, even if challenges are not complete. I use the challenges to guide. I recommend posting every couple of days, but accommodate those who can only post weekly.
If you can post less than weekly, please check in every 10 days with some contact so we know you are still playing.
Experienced players who can write long, detailed moves are of course very welcome. This game will also suit newer players and will accommodate those who write shorter moves. There will be times of dialogue when moves may be shorter.
About the narrator
I try to strike the right balance between telling a compelling story, and having fun.
This game will not start until we have a couple of strong players who give us a very good chance of going the distance and completing the game.
Other players are welcome to join - all contributions are valued, and slower responders will be accommodated but will not stall the game.
I am keen to encourage less experienced players and I will do all I can to adapt to the needs of the players who join us.

Host’s rules: none specified
1) If anyone makes a move you do not like, please raise this with courtesy. There is always the option for players to change their move. It is better that people make moves with confidence and adjust later, than the game stalls or is stilted as players are not sure if their move will be accepted. We can all help with this by being respectful if we do not like a move.
2) Players should not make other player’s characters (PCs) say or do anything if they can be contacted or have posted in the last couple of days.
If a Player has not been online without explanation for 3 days, and it is holding up the story, it is acceptable to make their character do something, provided this is bland, and in character.
3) Please do not make another PC say anything in direct speech (do not show the words they use): you may only give the gist of what they say. This is because the actual words will be more personal to their character.
4) If you do not communicate for 7 days or more, please do not complain if your character is moved.
5) If you tire of the game, please communicate so we can help, and/or put your character up for hand off
6) If you are offline for 10 days without warning or communication, your character may be removed from the game if this assists the story.
7) Please use no bad language or include any content not suitable to be read by children of 14 years.
8) Please try to make good quality writing - but do not be put off if you are not strong in this. Your contributions will be valued. Do not judge yourself by what others may be posting.
9) Please try to address challenges and relate the content to cards played. However, flexibility to tell a good story is accepted and encouraged.
10) NPCs are there for you to use in your turns - please try and play them in a way consistent to what has gone before or is in their character notes.
