It’s not just kids, though, because
some of my adult friends struggle to find time for their RPG hobby as
well. Long drives to weekend gatherings remind us of our weekday
commutes, so it takes discipline to get ourselves out the door. Some
adults have been turning to online RPG sites that allow for a TTRPG
experience similar to sitting around a table together—people log in
and chat live over webcams while looking at a live, dynamic map that
the Game Master (GM) controls. Sites like Roll20.net do this well,
and it’s a great way to have long-distance, convenient RPG sessions
with friends. However, there’s really nothing that can compare with
the experience of sitting around the same table together, sharing
pizza, drinks, and laughter while shaking the dice in your hands
before rolling with your signature style. Writing on your character
sheet, moving your character miniature on the map, and cracking open
game books for reference are also part of the fun. There’s nothing
like seeing your groups’ GM grin deviously and dramatically place
the model for a deadly villain on the map in front of you. And don’t
forget the absolute satisfaction of working together with your team
to defeat that horrible villain and seeing the disappointed look on
the GM’s face as he realizes he underestimated you.
As seven alien races struggle to co-exist in an uneasy alliance, the Inter-Stellar Union sends Union Guard agents on missions to preserve the crucial balance. These specialized operatives must do what regional security cannot, dealing with smugglers, pirates, terrorists, and even greater challenges in order to bring stability to a universe that needs it desperately. Without the Union Guard, the races will not be prepared to face a looming alien threat they can only hope to defeat together.
