Mostly actual play from online tabletop games, played on Roll20. Also random other stuff.

Doyce Testerman
I tuck in to play Starforged with my kids (aged 16, 10, and 8). Introducing... Kiska Kuznetsov ("Kiss Kiss"), a child of one of the five Founder clans, who turned away from her birthright to become an Ironsworn when her empathic abilities revealed dark truths about the Five. Lowl Parker ("GAP"), whose settlement was wiped out by gigantic remnant-tech biomachine weapons that a Founder corp released (some say knowingly) from hibernation. He dreams of turning the remnant creations to his own ends. Carly Nazari ("Ka-zari"), the young scion of the Nazari crime family, which dates back to BEFORE the Exodus, surviving and thriving aboard generation ships and new worlds. She grew up ignorant of her family's history (mostly raised by a nanny-bodyguard combat bot she named Fuzz Fuzz), and has vowed to take her family's syndicate down. ------------- The Truths of our Setting: **CATACLYSM** The Sun Plague extinguished the stars in our home galaxy, the result of a superweapon run amok. **EXODUS** Countless generations lived out their lives aboard titanic generation ships during the millennia-long passage to the Forge. Those vessels, the Ironhomes, still sail the depths of this galaxy. **COMMUNITIES** Dangers abound, but there is safety in numbers. Many ships and settlements are united under the banner of one of the Founder Clans. Vast reaches of the settled domains are claimed by the clans, and territorial skirmishes are common. **IRON** Iron vows are sworn upon totems crafted from the enigmatic metal we call black iron. Black iron was first forged by a long-dead civilization. Some say it is a living metal, attuned to the hidden depths of the universe. Remnants of this prized resource are found within ancient sites throughout the Forge. (Think of Beskar as it is coveted in The Mandalorian.) It is resistant to damage and corrosion, but can be molded using superheated plasma at specialized facilities. **LAWS** Our communities are bound under the terms of the Covenant, a charter established after the Exodus. The organization called the Keepers is sworn to uphold those laws. Most settlements are still governed under the Covenant and yield to the authority of the Keepers. **RELIGION** Our faith is as diverse as our people. Many have no religion, or offer an occasional prayer out of habit. Others pay homage to the gods of our forebears. Some idealize the natural order of the universe. And many now worship the gods of a fallen people who once dwelt within the Forge. **MAGIC** Unnatural energies flow through the Forge. Soon after our arrival, some displayed the ability to harness the Forge's energies. Today, mystics invoke this power to manipulate matter or see beyond the veils of our own universe. The most powerful mystics are respected and feared in equal measure. **COMMUNICATION** In settled domains, a network of data hubs called the Weave allow near-instantaneous communication and data-sharing between ships and outposts. Beyond the most populous sectors, travelers and outposts are still entirely off the grid. **MEDICINE** To help offset a scarcity of medical supplies and knowledge, the resourceful technicians create basic organ and limb replacements. What remains of our medical technologies and expertise is co-opted by the privileged and powerful. **ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE** Artificial consciousness emerged in the time before the Exodus, and sentient machines live with us here in the Forge. Our ships, digital assistants, bots, and other systems often house advanced AI. **WAR** Professional soldiers defend or expand the holdings of those who are able to pay. The rest of us are on our own. **LIFEFORMS** This is a perilous and often inhospitable galaxy, but life finds a way. Planets are often home to a vast array of creatures, and our starships cruise with spaceborne lifeforms riding their wake. Even animals from our homeworld—carried aboard the Exodus ships—have adapted to live with us in the Forge. **PRECURSORS** Biomechanical lifeforms engineered by civilizations as weapons in a cataclysmic war, survived the death of their creators. On scarred planets and within precursor vaults throughout the Forge, these Remnants still guard ancient secrets and fight unending wars. **HORRORS** Most insist that horrors aren’t real. Spacers know the truth. When you travel the depths of the Forge, be wary. Death is not always the end to our suffering. Some say we are cursed by those who did not survive the cataclysm, and the veil between life and death is forever weakened. Supernatural occurrences and entities are especially common near a white dwarf star. These stellar objects, which spacers call ghost lights, are the decaying remnants of a dead star.
