Scion 7 the scorched terra.
As galactic regional powers continue to fight on its surface several emerging coalitions have focused on new opportunities.
In the sector multiple exoplanets have been identified for colonial expedition. What peril awaits the brave colonists who must find suitable places to grow or suffer the fate of Scion 7.

(Sci Fi Simulator 15)
This is a text based game which requires discord. The goal is to work together as a team to maintain a colony and role play a member of that colonial board of directors. You must choose what to build, what to research, and how to shape your faction's future.

Phases last a week at most but phases can be resolved faster. Each new phase presents a new crisis issue which will impact either one of your metrics of survival or perhaps multiple.

Next once all players have chosen a character; they will work together to agree on which sponsor to work for among the colonial coalitions:

The colony must maintain a balance of the following metrics:

Colonial Food
Colonial Morale
Colonial Finance
Colonial support from Sponsor
Colonial Education
Colonial Military
Colonial Water
Colonial Population

Should the colony reach 0 at the start of a new phase in any metric the colony has collapsed.
———-

Coalition Sponsorship

Broadstone - Mining, Industrial Development, Production

Visery - Espionage, Hacking, Firewalls, Technology

Sanctum6 - Healthcare, Science

Tollum - Faith, Consulting, Legal

Settex - Economy, Entertainment, investment

Barrix - Cybernetics, Cloning, AI, Warfare

Rond76 - Historical, scholarly, education

To inquire what each Sponsor provides you may ask and the main data loader will attempt to query for exact details.


Each phase lasts 48 hours; will involve role playing - voting - policy discussion - adventures - solo missions - plans for construction and research. You will build and maintain a colony - balance a budget and keep the workers happy.

The colony will consist of 300 citizens; of varying ages and demographics. You must allocate workers; and manage the struggles of building a colony on a new world full of mystery.
——

Warning the situation on Scion7 has grown worse; residents of the 18th ward are evacuating amid growing factional infighting between Barrix and Sanctum6. Open war has not been declared but various commanders have violated the treaties that kept Scion7 safe. Sponsors are quickly moving to colonize worlds away from Scion7 to maintain a safe zone for their interests.

The independent Alien faction known only as the Coagulant have canceled all plans to travel to Scion7 and what would have been lucrative first contact with an intelligent Alien Faction may now be a lost cause.
——-

Sounds interesting! Did you create all the rules yourself, or is this adapted from an existing RPG? I may be down to play.

The rules are sort of a combination of battlestar galactica board game and the original webdip colony simulators ran by bosox, myself, commanderbyron and a host of others people.
