Pathfinder is a colonization mission set in the early 22nd century under conditions of secrecy. The population of the Earth had exceeded the ability of the planet to support itself – even with off world resources and recycling systems. New laws had gone into effect which controlled pretty much every aspect of life. And Earth was not without its political factions – Sedition Factions as they were called.

A solid character will be able to handle exploration and unexpected situations. Creativity is a necessity. Yes, there will be First Contact situations. Some aliens will be intelligent enough to handle translation on their own; others will be primitive. Some will be primal and animalistic, but able to understand body language.

Players should be able to post 2 to 3 times a week, with average lengths of posts not less than a few good paragraphs. The game is rated Mature (PG-13 to R), with some military violence, appropriate language, some alien horror. Fade to Black instituted for those adult scenes. No children please.
