Sept. SNSO: High Adventure Among the Stars!

Summer is cooling down, but we're just getting the engines warmed up!
Fall may be on the way, but we're far from finished with our trip around the sun. Here's what we've got in store for you this month:
  • Far-flung galactic intrigue on a mission where no one has come back alive? CHECK.
  • Seat-of-your-flight-suit escapades of survival in the outer solar system? CHECK.
  • A fun-filled evening after the lights have gone out on another State Fair? CHECK! 

Cypher System (2nd Ed.): STATION 79, PLEASE RESPOND!
Jen is back to run another exciting adventure using the new hard scifi rules for Cypher System, from award winning game designer Monte Cook. The system is light and easy to learn. If you're new to RPGs, this is the PERFECT time to jump in and give it a shot!

SYNOPSIS:
When a research station owned by cybernetics megacorp Tenent suddenly goes rogue and takes itself offline, everyone suspects a rebellion among the research subjects. Even Tenent's heavily armed "recovery teams" don't come back alive. Things get complicated and it's up to you--and the rest of the Galactic Coalition's Peacekeeping Force--to resolve the dispute, one way or another.
GM: Jenifer Doll

The EXPANSE RPG: BELTADOWA! 
And we're thrilled to offer blockbuster The Expanse Roleplaying Game, from Green Ronin. It launched as a Kickstarter last year (fully funded in just one hour!) and is based off the hit space opera novels by James S.A. Corey (that's two people, actually!) and the fantastic Amazon Prime TV series.

SYNOPSIS:
Oye, belta! Time to brush up on your Belter, now that you've joined a scouting crew to see what you can find amidst the thousands of asteroids that ring the sun. Natural resources may be aplenty, but the risks are steep out here in the Belt. You may need to improvise! 
System: The Expanse Roleplaying Game
GM: Jeff Conrad

AUGUST SNSO: SCI-FI SUMMER FUN!

Summer is in full swing and it's burning up outside! Enjoy these extremely cool, original adventures from our veteran game masters ...

Looking to try something completely different from the usual fantasy RPG staples? We've got a hold of the latest (second edition) Cypher System game--a super streamlined, finely tuned RPG experience!

Or maybe you love thrillers and sci-fi horror. Then check out Dread, which incorporates a teetering tower of Jenga blocks, instead of dice, to ratchet up the tension!

CYPHER SYSTEM (2nd Ed.): NO PEACE WITHOUT A WAR

From award winning game designer Monte Cook comes this newest edition of his super slick Cypher System RPG. If you're new to roleplaying games in general, this is the PERFECT time to jump in and give it a whirl!

SYNOPSIS:
The negotiation of an important peace treaty is under threat! The Interplanetary Diplomat College (IDC) is hosting peace talks, when suddenly, the conference falls under dissident occupation. The Galactic Coalition needs you to join the elite ranks of the IDC Tactical Response Team for a dangerous mission: Take back the facility before war breaks out!
System: Cypher System
GM: Jenifer Doll

DREAD RPG: BENEATH A METAL SKY

Dread's approach to gaming is definitely ground-breaking (or is that ground shaking!). The publisher says, "The goal of Dread is to sustain the delicate atmosphere that invokes the hand quivering emotion that lends its name to the game." If that sounds like fun, then pull up a seat!

SYNOPSIS:
Something is wrong aboard the ISS Auerbach and it’s up to you to find out what that something is! Your crew must uncover the truth behind the mysterious space hulk and what happened to its crew.
System: Dread
GM: Leo Winstead
