# Out to the Black
|
||||
|
||||
Out to the Black is space sci-fi campaign run in a homebrew fictional universe, run in the Cypher System.
|
||||
|
||||
## Campaign Synopsis
|
||||
|
||||
* Likely to steal liberally from...
|
||||
* *Firefly*
|
||||
* *Star Trek*
|
||||
* *Farscape*
|
||||
* *Alien*
|
||||
* ...mashing up elements of hard sci-fi and space opera under an advanced technology rating (space travel inside a
|
||||
system is relatively ordinary, but traveling beyond a system is almost never undertaken; FTL travel doesn't exist but
|
||||
gravity generation does; *generally* things follow known physics, but there's always the opportunity for psionics,
|
||||
alien stuff, etc.)
|
||||
* Looking for ideas on what you guys would like to play, at the moment --- unaffiliated explorers and problem solvers,
|
||||
organized (government or corp) away team with some kind of goal, scavengers/privateers, rebels on the outskirts
|
||||
fighting tyranny?
|
||||
* That'll probably affect the scope of the system/universe, e.g. if there's many uncharted systems in play (with
|
||||
cryosleep or a *lot* of downtime), our system, a Firefly-like 'Verse system involving many suns and whole
|
||||
sub-systems of planets and moons.
|
||||
* Also of course that will affect chargen, what skills you might need to survive, if one of you *needs* to be a
|
||||
pilot, that kind of thing.
|
||||
* Actually, on that note, made-up system good, or is our Solar System preferred?
|
||||
|
||||
## Character Creation
|
||||
|
||||
At their basic level, characters are defined as *NAME is a [adjective] [noun] who [verbs]*. Adjectives are
|
||||
**descriptors**, nouns are **types**, similar to character classes, and verbs are **foci**.
|
||||
|
||||
Chapter 4 of the *Cypher System Rulebook* details character creation, with description of the mechanical elements, and a
|
||||
small sidebar summarizing the steps to take to create a character.
|
||||
|
||||
### Sources
|
||||
|
||||
The majority of the options below are found, and best described, in the *Cypher System Rulebook*, with an open gaming
|
||||
version available via the [Cypher SRD](http://www.cyphersrd.com/). Most others come from *The Stars Are Fire*.
|
||||
Anything homebrew we'll write up and link to here.
|
||||
|
||||
I skipped listing a lot of the core content, because there's no point in repeating that everything in the core book/SRD
|
||||
are fair game --- the exception to this are the foci, which are tailored below.
