A sci-fi themed 0-level funnel that is an homage to Pitch Black, Alien, & Predator. What was supposed to be a challenging reality show in space becomes a frightening fight for survival.
Description:
When you signed up for the Offworlders reality show, you knew you’d be taken to a remote and wild alien world, to be filmed struggling against the elements. This was to be your fifteen minutes of fame, your opportunity to brag to all your coworkers at your megacorp desk job. What went so terribly wrong? Scattered Over Centaurus VII is a variant 0-level funnel where players need to search for survivors, gear, and shelter in order to make it off a twisted alien world. This is my tribute to some of my favorite sci-fi movies: Alien, Predator, and especially Pitch Black.

Nowhere City used to be “somewhere’ – “two-bit” for sure, but a place people liked calling home. Then the sorcerers moved in. They took over city politics, but only so they could pursue their deeper, darker agenda. The Gutter Knights rose to stop to the sorcerers - so convinced that the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few that they look right past the few bystanders who get caught in the crossfire, every single day. Mercs? They’ll work for whichever side offers the most luxe payday. Yup, this used to be somewhere, but now it’s “Nowhere” - as in: “nowhere-decent-people-want-to-be.”
