About Dark Star Adventurecast
From the publisher's feed
THE VERIDIAN EXPANSE IS A PLACE WHERE DEBTS ARE PAID IN BLOOD.
In a galaxy of corporate cold wars and fading fringe worlds, the crew of the Scapegoat is just trying to stay flying. From…
high-stakes planetary heists to the silent terrors of deep-space shipwrecks, one bad jump is all that separates a payday from a cold grave.
Dark Star Adventurecast is a narrative sci-fi actual play. We play Stars Without Number live, and edit what happens into a story worth following. If The Expanse and Firefly are your kind of sci-fi, give it a listen.
MEET THE CREW:
- Thorne (Brian): spent a decade in a corporate prison for something he didn't do. He runs the crew now. The man who framed him is still out there.
- Felix (Scott): hacker who changed his name, his face, and his voice to infiltrate the company that murdered his brother. The plan is still ongoing.
- Haleyy (Stephanie): fighter, biopsionic. Something changed in her head a while back and her powers haven't stopped growing since.
- Robert (Doja): the pilot. Somewhere out there, copies of him are trying to kill the crew.
- ...and Star Master Jeff, who built this sector one bad decision at a time.
