February: Explore a Mysterious Alien Megastructure!

In what might as well be ripped from the headlines, our next Saturday Night Space Opera promises a  load of galactic intrigue and adventure!

Game master Jenifer Doll returns to run another one of her outer space mysteries: THE STARLIGHT FILIGREE! She'll be using the Cypher System, a fantastic, story-based rule set by Monte Cook Games.

MISSION DETAILS:

The Descendants have lost Earth, their mortality, and their fear of the unknown. But then they found the Starlight Filigree, a mass of alien architecture encasing an entire star system--dwarfing their own Dyson spheres. They have sent you, mechwarrior and master of timespace, to enter the structure and make contact with whatever built it.
