Sci-Fi Role-Play After Dark (PBtA)
 |
We are pleased that you have come here. Let us tell you about your Farflung experience. It is a tabletop game about the ends of the universe¸ where nothing has been undone and everything is permitted. You will be one of the heroes who rages against the dying of the star-light. From transhuman zetta-tech androids¸ to the bewildered time-traveler who came to see new wonders¸ down to the humble robot who yearns for freedom¸ the only limits are your imagination.
In a future where everything is possible¸ then what makes for an interesting story? Farflung introduces you to a world of challenges from the simplest of tasks to the most complex of emotions. When space¸ time¸ death¸ life¸ hate¸ love¸ and everything else have passed beyond binary meaning¸ we will show you the many new stories that wait for you:
- Dozens of unique characters to choose¸ from beings of cosmic power to ordinary humans¸ and all kinds of exotic things in between. Our system of playbooks lets you find the character with the precise set of skills¸ powers¸ and abilities to satisfy your needs¸ without any unpleasant grinding or other tedium.
- A game both easy and complex¸ the ideal partner for your desires. Enjoy a unique game system¸ powered by the apocalypse¸ where your points in time let you and your fellow players work together to solve your problems. Combine your singular powers with inspiration and team-work. After you've collapsed from giving everything you have¸ let your friends pick you back up. It's a big¸ cold¸ empty universe out there... so you will learn how to best enjoy your party.
- Explore and experience the far reaches of the universe. Discover the fates of civilizations¸ to learn the true nature of yourself¸ or just to watch a world burn. Our game will guide you and your fellow players on a shared experience¸ from the pan-galactic to the sub-culture.
- Illustrations to both inspire and illuminate¸ showing you the story-telling process. If you're new to the role-playing experience... or if you're a veteran looking for something new... our game will show you how to tell your own stories in a universe where time¸ space¸ life¸ and death have new meanings. Start with the common ground¸ then rise above.
- Conflict comes in many forms¸ and not just at the end of a gun. When others test your patience because they fear your power¸ will you give in to your worst impulses and destroy your enemies¸ or will you find a way to live and let live? Each character has a unique way to deflect harm to overcome all obstacles. Run away from your past¸ and from those you've wronged... or make peace with them¸ and then make amends. Anyone can destroy¸ but can you create? Rebuild? Redeem?
- Romance your fellow beings¸ from the most ephemeral of humans to the most cosmic of energies. Lie¸ cheat¸ steal¸ hold grudges¸ get in spats¸ break up¸ get back together¸ and fall in love against a backdrop of the stars.
- Enjoy the limitless possibility of post-scarcity¸ trans-human¸ high-concept science fiction. Explore what it means to be good¸ to be evil¸ to be free¸ to be human. Bake an apple pie from scratch by creating your own universe. Share and enjoy.
