This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

I am working on a homebrew conversion of 5e dnd into a hard sci-fi setting, aiming at a 3-4 on the mohs scale of sci-fi hardness.  I heard about this site, and thought it would be welcome to be shared here.  

I am playtesting, but can only run one table, and love fresh eyes on it.  If you have any questions, balance issues or concerns, I'd love to know.  It mostly speaks for itself, but here is the description:  

It is the dawn of the 24th century, and an interesting point in time for the human race. Fifth Age chronicles the dawn (perhaps more like early mid-morning) of humanity exploring the stars and getting into all manner of trouble, fraught with peril, excitement and drama. The science in this sci-fi is a little on the harder side than some might be used to and the adventure is a little pulpy, a perfect mix for the 5e DnD system.

I have it up over here on drive, varying stages of completion, but the main book, Fifth Age, is basically done.
