@auspice Oops! Sorry about that. That would be great, thank you!

Yeah, I remember you had mentioned/we talked about it way back when I first got the itch to write in this setting. I went radio silent after that, but I've been poking at it ever since.

I would also rather be a player than admin something, to be 100% honest (I feel like most sane people have this preference, haha) but since it doesn't exist, I suppose somebody has to get it started. And, hey -- it creates the opportunity to maybe foster the kind of game culture I'm most interested in, so there's that. Hopefully it works for other folks, too.

@insomnia said in The Churn: an Expanse game:

How easy would this be to get into for people who have it on their want to watch but haven't gotten around to it yet list? Will they be completely spoiled by playing if they procrastinate and don't catch up first?

The really nice thing about this setting is that, in spite of being hard sci-fi, most of its sci-fi elements are intuitive evolutions of very familiar present-day technologies and cultures. There's lot of cultural blending and things are in general a lot more socially progressive, but it has a familiar feeling that I think probably makes it easy to pick up and run with.

There are totally spoilers in the theme, though. It takes place after events in book 3/4, and events at the end of season 3.
