Interest Check: Ships Happens: P&P Space Adventure

Be sure to read and follow the guidelines for our forums.

OpenProwlers & ParagonsPublic5 / weekSmiley
System: Prowlers & Paragons
Players Needed: 2–6
Post Rate: Minimum 5 posts/week (Note: Fridays–Sundays are usually slower)
Genre: Sci-Fi Space Opera
Tone: Gritty + Adventurous (Inspired by Star Wars, Star Trek, Guardians of the Galaxy, Firefly)
Game Type: Play-by-Post

💥 Premise:
You and your crew call a rusted-out junker spaceship home. It’s a miracle it even flies. But it does, and it gets you from one sketchy job to the next: salvage runs, smuggling gigs, bounty hunts, courier work, maybe the occasional black ops job for a shady corp.

You’ll start with a junker-class ship with a few upgrade points to spend. The ship’s design and details are up to you as a group.

🧬 Character Options:
Be a humanoid or a totally bizarre alien—whatever you dream up.
Backgrounds can include mercenaries, assassins, mechanics, scavengers, spies, smugglers, ex-lawmen, drifters, or outlaws.
Party tone and direction are collaborative—this is your crew’s story.

🌍 About the Galaxy:
The galaxy will be randomly generated as you explore it.
Planet types, societies, species, and missions will emerge dynamically.
Travel times between planets are rolled. Longer distances (between solar systems) require access to ancient Warp Points—massive interstellar wormholes that crisscross the galaxy.

📣 About the DM:
Hey! I’ve played in a few Prowlers & Paragons games, but this will be my first time as a GM for one. I'm excited, a little nervous, and 100% here to tell a fun story with you. I ask for your patience and kindness as we learn the system together.

I’ll be using AI tools to help with the campaign—everything from describing planets and aliens to generating random missions and planning encounters. Expect a dynamic, living universe that shifts around your actions.

As a GM, my goal is to challenge the party. Not every fight is meant to be won—sometimes, the smart move is to run. Missions will have multiple ways to succeed or fail, and consequences will matter. Yes, death is possible, but we’ll cross that bridge when we come to it.

Looking For:
2–6 collaborative, story-driven players
Able to post at least 5 times a week
Comfortable with sandbox play, exploration, and emergent storytelling
Open-minded and supportive of a first-time GM

P&P is an interesting choice for this kind of game -- you're driving for a kind of MCU Guardians of the Galaxy / Scoundrels of the Galaxy kind of vibe?

What power levels (and point values) are you thinking for the PCs?

Created an account to apply. Interested! Always up for some good PbP.

I'm familiar with PPUE (well, I'm a MOD on the Discord and subreddit) and am more interested in telling good stories than power gaming.

I am completely new to the system but happy to play, I like the theme of the game, and I love pbp

Hello! I’m interested in joining this campaign. I would like to play an alien that is from an ocean planet looking for his true purpose.
