Once upon a time there was a game. It was a sci-fi Quick A** Game System (QAGS) table-top role-playing game (RPG), and it was random and spur-of-the-moment and fun, and it happened at Gen Con Indy 2012. There was a girl in this game and it was her very first RPG ever, and she had such a good time that she decided to immortalize this game in story (sort of) form. The End (Beginning)
(Much smiling and facetious half-hearted apologies to participants of this game. If you feel I got something wrong, let me know, and I’ll fix it!)

The Setting
The spaceship 224th Turkey Baconator, oddly resembling a slice of pizza, with a crooked bumper sticker on the back proclaiming “TOTALLY KOSHER,” is on a mission to Planet 5318008. The mission: Explore. Or settle. Or colonize and repopulate. Whatever. There really should be more females on board if reproduction is a goal. But anyways. The spaceship is taking off from Earth 2.0. Estimated travel time to Planet 5318008 is five months.
