Port of Call: Midgard
 |
Midgard was that rarest of treasures: a garden world very much like Earth. It even had a distinctive feature: a supercontinent that wrapped around the planet's mid-latitudes¸ reminding the earliest explorers of the Norse legend of the Midgard Serpent¸ and lending inspiration to the world's name. Settlers found that the environment was favorable to their colonization efforts¸ but it was also favorable to death in the form of a native virus; bigotry in the form of offworld identitarians; and a lawlessness in the form of an illegal weapons trade. The native Midgardians are now discovering that their paradise has a serpent in its midst¸ and it's not the shape of its landmass.
Port of Call: Midgard introduces Cepheus Engine and Original Science Fiction Roleplaying Game (OSFRPG) players to this idyllic planet with a rotten core. Inside is an overview of how the information would appear in the PCs' library database¸ physical planetary and system information¸ a brief history¸ a look at its government¸ technology¸ and society¸ a quick guide to crafting characters that would hail from such a place and a map of the planet.
Port of Call: Midgard. Ragnarok might come sooner than you think.
