THE VERIDIAN EXPANSE IS A PLACE WHERE DEBTS ARE PAID IN BLOOD. In a galaxy of corporate cold wars and fading fringe worlds, the crew of the Scapegoat is just trying to stay flying. From high-stakes planetary heists to the silent terrors of deep-space shipwrecks, one bad jump is all that separates a payday from a cold grave.

Dark Star Adventurecast is a cinematic Stars Without Number actual play podcast focused on immersive storytelling, tactical grit, and the consequences of life on the edge of the void.

MEET THE CREW:

  • Thorn (Brian): A street-smart ex-con whose charm hides a simmering edge.
  • Felix (Scott): A transhuman cyber-wizard hacking the impossible.
  • Haleyy (Stephanie): A no-nonsense fighter who trusts grit over gadgets.
  • Robert (Doja): A wild-card pilot with a flair for the unpredictable.
  • ...and Star Master Jeff, who runs this shindig.

    Powering the Nautilus Spiral - Sibylen Exosite, Part IV
    Mar 3 2026

    Deep in the Sibylen Exosite, the crew faces two of the greatest challenges a party can face: a 30-foot drop and a puzzle. After Hailey tests the limits of "superhero landings," the party discovers the mysterious Nautilus Room.

    Restoring power to this level is their only way forward, but in an abandoned alien quarantine facility, "turning the lights on" will come with a price.
