A sci-fi game drawing inspiration from Numenara, Diaspora, Firefly, Rifts, Mass Effect and Star Wars.

In the far flung future, man has risen, fallen and risen again. For generation, man has been digging itself out of a cataclysm. The origins of the cataclysm are unknown, what we do know is this: We are not alone, we can't hope to fathom what came before, space is a harsh place to make a living.

Earth was left behind, the cradle of civilization is now Orinda Prime and only in the last few generations have we begun to inhabit the other planets, moons and outposts again. Some colonies have broken away from Orinda, governing themselves, many still work under her sway.

Some are born with abilities beyond that of mortal men, they are the gifted. The Orindans see this as a divine calling, taking in the gifted they find to be their holy paladins, enforcers and champions. For this reason, many hide their gift, even in independent worlds, for word is, Orindans will seek out and capture or murder the gifted in all corners of known space.

The PCs are frontiersmen, smugglers and independents who are trying to make a buck while staying out of Orindan space. They have a ship, a friendly settlement and a map pointing to some unexplored pre-cataclysm ruins. Some can be gifted, though not all will be. Please rmail with questions and check out the game for RTJ.

About the GM: I have nearly 20 years experience with RPGs on one level or another. I've DMed long term campaigns but have limited PbP experience. This is my first rpol.net game but I feel like I'm taking to it rather well. I've played FUDGE and Fate for years and look forward to this game very much!

No experience with Fate necessary, but this is not a system for min/maxing, it's a system for narrative collaboration. We're aiming at once daily for posting.
