The setting

Adventure back in time 5 years before the Black Genesis, a universe-changing event in 666 AG that caused half the universe to become brain washed, a quarter to die, and the final quarter to remain healthy but under the eternal terror of the Great Master, or colloquially known to rebels as the Evil Time Master. His reign spans across the universe and with his outrageously-powered police force known as the "Wires", his rule chokes the present and the future with an iron fist.

Although all hope seems lost, hope still lives. For a benevolent android has stolen a time-travelling ship owned by the Evil Time Master. The android has searched the universe and has determined that out of all known sentient, sane beings in the universe, YOU, along with your allies, have the most potential to save the universe. Your starship contains a transferable upgraded drift engine that allows you to travel through time a single time to a week before the Black Genesis. Your party will travel back in time 5 years before the Black Genesis on an epic campaign to prepare for the one-time Raid against the Evil Time Master.

About me (the DM) and the campaign!

I'm really excited to try out the Starfinder system. I have been playing homebrew Pathfinder for the last two years as a DM and I loved it. I prepare adventures ahead of time and always try to make the adventures as open-world as possible. The most recent campaign I had started with just 20 pages of material for the first session as a frame of reference, I don't know if i'll be able to achieve that again with time restraints like school, but I'll be sure to avoid railroading as much as possible.

Everyone is welcome and encouraged to apply for this campaign and have a good time. The only people I think won't enjoy this campaign will be extreme rules lawyers and people who are intent on having an adventure strictly in the Golorian universe (I will be using the pact worlds and it will loosely be set in the Golorian universe, all deities from Paizo will be intact). My adventures are roughly 60% dungeoneering/puzzles/fighting/mini-games/exploring,etc and 40% roleplaying. The campaign will be light-hearted and fun in tone, but will deal with death and players may have to make difficult moral questions and decisions.

Quick Note: This campaign was inspired by the DC show Legends of Tomorrow and the video game FTL: Faster than Light. The picture used "War with the Evil Power Master" has nothing to do with this campaign as the last time I read that book was over 10 years ago. I just liked the cover and the way the book was named.

Logistics/Planning

Sessions will start at 5pm PST on Wednsdays. I will choose players for the campaign by midnight of Monday, September 10th. We will do a quick session zero to roleplay how the characters meet, answer any questions, and establish the background on September 11th at about 10am PST.

I start up college in two weeks so I will be willing to change my schedule around a couple of weeks after that. I chose the current time because it works with both my summer job and my school schedule but I'm totally willing to change the time if the group can agree upon it.

We will be using discord voice and roll20. Feel free to contact me with questions regarding the campaign. My discord is Apathy_Prophet #3456. Please add me if you'd like to contact me!
