With only five systems, the Terra Φ cluster is a relatively small cluster, as far as we know. The only system with inter-system travel capabilities is Sephii, which may well have reason to keep other systems secret.

Star systems[edit]

  • Antares, the debris-strewn desert system
  • Deneb and its twin worlds
  • Eridanus, the elemental trichotomy
  • Sephii, the robot system
  • Zash'ar, the system shattered by industry

Characters[edit]

Players are encouraged to use the character sheet template to create their pages. The template page includes instructions and an example of implementation.

Game details[edit]

This game is being played as Diaspora, with some modifications borrowed from Dresden Files and other places.

House rules[edit]

  • Characters are built with 5 phases as usual, but get one aspect per phase. In addition each character has a High Concept aspect and a Trouble aspect for a total of seven aspects per character.
  • Characters have 7 refresh, minus one per stunt. Refresh may not be reduced below one, so there is a theoretical maximum of six stunts.
  • Skill list is expanded from the Diaspora defaults to include Deceit, Empathy and Investigation.
  • Custom stunts added to reflect the uniqueness of the different systems and worlds in the cluster.
  • Variant slipknots: systems have an entry slipknot and an exit slipknot instead of two bidirectional slipknots.
