The races of Kyon discovered space travel and have found a mysterious door in space...


Author's Note: Heavily inspired by Mass Effect, essentially a scenario of DND races advance technology and achieve space travel, meeting an existant galactic society. Peace or war? Your choice. The races of Kyon are preparing to take flight aboard The Wayfarer! A ship specially designed for their maiden voyage beyond the newly discovered Warp Door in their Solar System. No one knows what lies beyond, but you must be ready for anything. IMPORTANT: To start off look at Locations and look at the Setup/Lore. Uncollapse it and you will see Lore and Setup POIs. The lore is to give you background on Kyon and the Galactic Society they meet. The Setups are various scenarios I thought up to get you started. Use @ then the setup you want to get started. Obviously you can do something different if you want. NOTES: - In order to make space combat not boring and work with existing F&F systems, lore-wise every Starship has a "Combat Translator" allowing all party members within a Starship to use their normal combat abilities to participate in a Starship battle. This is one of those, fun gameplay > lore decisions. -All the zones are small due to the galactic scale I was going for and the limitations here. -I found that during travel time (decided to make it take ten days to get from Kyon to the Warp Door) I had to switch it from Adventure Mode to Downtime Mode, otherwise Franz kept just instantly teleporting us everywhere. -Most images of the alien races I had to generate with google gemini.

Description

3. Shared Threat Once this is fully fleshed out, I intend to clone this world and edit it as a version that is far in the future, once Kyon and Centralis Civitas are united either through War or Diplomacy (probably with a setup option for which you choose). There is going to be a shared threat in the Dead Space that they need to battle together. At this time, to stay somewhat DND lore friendly and not lean too hard into Mass Effect, I'm thinking the Black Hole is going to be a portal to the Hells or Heavens... or maybe both and the party plus new aliens gets roped into some sort of Heaven/ Hell Space War. This would also give a lore reason why Centralis Civitas and Kyon have the same gods despite being from different solar systems. Mentioning it now in case anyone's campaign gets so far and runs out of stuff to do.
