In March 1999, the Sci-Fi Channel premiered the TV show Farscape, which ran for four seasons. The show followed contemporary Earth astronaut John Crichton, who was shot through a wormhole, ending up in a distant part of the universe aboard a ship — a living ship — full of strange alien lifeforms in the midst of escaping a ruthless galactic military organization known as the Peacekeepers. Farscape was weird and wild, sexy and smart, easily my favorite sci-fi show of all time. In March of 2020, I'm running four sessions of Impulse Drive set in the Farscape universe. We are NOT playing as members of the TV show cast. We'll be making up wholly new characters who exist during the loose timeframe of the show. We'll be using Impulse Drive playbooks (archetypes), characters are members of the Farscape species. We'll tell stories in the Uncharted Territories during the conflicts between the Peacekeepers and the Scarran Empire, trying to eke out your own existence as a crew.

After the Republic was used up, the central planets formed the Galactic Empire and decided all the planets had to join under their rule. There was some disagreement on that point, a Rebellion began. During the War, many of the Independents drifted to the edges of the system, far from Imperial control. Out here, people struggled to get by with the most basic technologies; a ship would bring you work, a blaster would help you keep it. A captain's goal was simple: find a crew, find a job, keep flying. We’re playing three sessions of Impulse Drive, a PbtA hack about making a living on the fringe of civilized space, inspired by Fiction such as Farscape, Firefly, Mass Effect, Star Wars, and many others. Play larger than life, volatile archetypes in a vibrant setting that is detailed by all the players as you play. -------------------------------------- This game is part of the ongoing Star Wars Saturdays series. The time setting is Episode VI of the Star Wars movie series (that's Return of the Jedi), when the Empire was in control, jedi were few and hunted, and the rebellion was growing in fits and starts. Characters and settings created in this miniseries will exist in the SWS canon for future miniseries.

After the Republic was used up, the central planets formed the Galactic Empire and decided all the planets had to join under their rule. There was some disagreement on that point, a Rebellion began. During the War, many of the Independents drifted to the edges of the system, far from Imperial control. Out here, people struggled to get by with the most basic technologies; a ship would bring you work, a blaster would help you keep it. A captain's goal was simple: find a crew, find a job, keep flying. We’re playing four sessions of Impulse Drive, a PbtA hack about making a living on the fringe of civilized space, inspired by Fiction such as Farscape, Firefly, Mass Effect, Star Wars, and many others. Play larger than life, volatile archetypes in a vibrant setting that is detailed by all the players as you play. -------------------------------------- This game is part of the ongoing Star Wars Saturdays series. The time setting is between Episodes III and IV of the Star Wars movie series, when the Empire was in control, Jedi were few and hunted, and the rebellion was growing in fits and starts. Characters and settings created in this miniseries will exist in the SWS canon for future miniseries.
