Re: New Campaign… New (-ish) Game System: G.U.R.P.S. in SPACE!

Good start. Flying blind with a dash of intrigue. How did the characters come to meet? Through an employer? At a bar? The marine just hitching a ride?

Obviously, there are going to be long-term rivalries with a spy and a secret to protect. I picture this culminating into an epic showdown. Like the end of The Hobbit, when the humans, elves, dwarves, and orcs all take to the battlefield to claim Smaug’s treasure.

Many opportunities for first contact. You have potential to form alliances or make enemies. Or simply lay waste to entire civilizations. During one of my campaigns, the players decided that they would take over a low tech world. Which really put a stop to the action. Should yours decide to do same, introduce a killer virus or an impending invasion to get them moving again.
