Join your fellow Browncoats, Purple-Bellies, Scoundrels, and sympathizers from both sides of the war out in the black!

Are you passionate about a great story?  Did you fall in love with Firefly?  After the movie Serenity, were you still feeling that you couldn't get enough of Joss Whedon's series?  Well neither could we!  So by popular demand, this game was created to help rag-tag crews skirt the law, elude being captured, and try to keep alive while flying under the radar of the Powers-That-Be and avoid the occasional band of marauding Reavers!


"So here is us, on the raggedy edge. Don't push me and I won't push you."


It's a big 'Verse in  "Serenity"!

This game strives to preserve the flavor of the original Firefly series.  It's tough to find work, tougher to get paid, and most often, so long as you can keep food in your belly, and avoid going to jail, that is enough.  So, if you've been itching for a better way of life than being a dock-hand, farmer, mudder, or something worse...  This is your opportunity!  No Mary-Sue Robocop Terminator Ninja's Super-Heroes need apply.  For you less-than-savvy folk, that means we've already got one River Tam, and that's enough for the entire game.  No more clones with a different name.

"From what I hear, Opportunity doesn't knock twice."




Is this Freeform or are we using the SRPG Rules?
While we use the SRPG rules to develop a character, it is worth pointing out that this game was first started as purely freeform.  The rules set was adopted to add a balance to new character creation, so that there would be no Mary/Gary-Sue characters.   You do not have to roll dice, the game does not have to slow down for that.  The Story Guide (GM) will tell you when to use the Dice Roller, or will roll the dice as needed to advance a scene if you do not like rolling.  You do not need to have played the Serenity RPG previously.


This game is rated ADULT, though we play at a Mature rating fading to black mostly.  This is because having bona-fide companions onboard a ship can lead to erotic scenes.  The NPC Adelei Niska, Reavers -and similar aspects- can lend a darker bent forcing the need for our rating of ADULT.

Our game doesn't require you to be intimate with all the details of the show and movie, since you may choose to join. The universe is the same, so while having watched the series ten times may help you to know how your character will react to the rest of the 'Verse, it is not necessary.

If you aren't familiar with the series, the Firefly Home Page should fill in all your needs: Firefly Wiki Link

As to the movie SERENITY:  Our story has progressed far enough along the timeline that the movie has occurred recently.

While I am a dedicated Game Master, I have real life issues that may cause delays in posting.  Because I am interested in a high-quality game, and not just glorified chat-rooms, we prefer a daily login/post and the GM is usually on daily to give responses -life permitting. If you enter into a scene with another player and then do not post, your character will be puppeted so the scene may continue.

A good player group will move the storylines forward at an enjoyable pace while keeping the story interesting.   If our stories aren't moving forward, then they will become boring quickly. If you need multiple responses in one day, (such as a conversation) be sure to tell the other player that!  Such requests cannot always be satisfied if you don't communicate your needs.

I expect we all want to play, so if interactions with fellow players is a big thing for you, and a steady pace to the story, than THIS IS THE GAME for you!

The game has been running since 2007 on RPOL with a hardboot (read that purge and reset from scratch) in the summer of 2012.  That being said, if a primary buffer panel or something similar falls off, I won't be held responsible.

PC DEATH IS HIGHLY PROBABLE IN THIS GAME!
BE SURE TO ACT LIKE YOU WANT TO LIVE,
OR YOU MAY NEED TO ROLL UP A NEW CHARACTER BEFORE YOU KNOW IT.

This is your chance to get in on a game with a beginning middle and end.
You can weave your personality into a lasting campaign for the years to come!
