• Name: Bellerdau • System: Starfinder • Time: Global (living world) • Method of Play: All sessions will be live text sessions, or play-by-post sessions. GMs will host their games via Discord chat, Roll20, and/or Foundry, depending on their preferences.
• Description: Bellerdau is a text-based, Starfinder living world, set in the Vast. It has a focus on sci-fi elements, politics, factions, exploration of unique worlds, and solving the crises that plague them. We prefer greyer politics with hard choices for the players; things will rarely be good vs. evil, as everyone has their own goals and missions to complete.
Either through assignment, travel, a faulty hyper drive, or being born in the Vast, you find yourself amidst the guilds, factions, and politics of the Deilea system. It is the center of the Liastrian Concord, an alliance of systems formed long ago to smooth over the recent reintroduction of FTL travel to the sector, which had suffered a long age of decay.
We have light homebrew in order to bring about a fun experience where every GM feels the ability to be impactful in their own way. We place a good emphasis on GMs running their own star system in order to create a good atmosphere and setting without stepping on each other's toes. We do everything we can to keep things fair for each player, with standardized credits and experience per adventure completion.
We're trying to put an emphasis on fair practice and transparency in GMing. A lot of drama can come about from opaque server operations and GMs ruling to favor themselves and their friends (usually other GMs). We think that the game is more rewarding when everyone can see it's fair, and the rules don't discourage new players.
With the flexibility of live text games, or play-by-post over all time zones with many GMs, we hope to provide a good experience for all to relax and roleplay!
