Alien RPG / Dead Orbit / Otsuka RPG Day
Details
(This is expected to run over two or three sessions. This will be the first session. Players should NOT have read the Dead Orbit comic book or at least not recently...)
Sphacteria is a small island in southern Greece, located near the bay of Pylos in the Peloponnese. It’s famous for being the site of a bloody battle between Athenians and Spartans in 425 BC.
But this is the year 2295, and you are neither Athenians nor Spartans. Nor are you heroes. You are part of a crew of workers — the only team aboard the orbital facility named after that small island: ATOL Sphacteria, registry number 284255, a fuel depot and freeport transit station, property of Weyland-Yutani.
Yes, you guessed it — this is a shitty job, with no career prospects and as boring as death. The only perks of working in a stretch of space that feels like the asshole of the universe are that the pay is good and the headaches are few...
