I'm excited to announce that I'm going to be releasing Welcome Aboard, Captain on Father's Day this month.

For fans of Dungeon Hero, Fable on your Table, AdvanceQuest, or Expedition to Skull Island, this game should be of interest to you:

• Create a starship, recruit a crew, and head out into the galaxy to make it a better place!  Fans of Star Trek, Battlestar Galactica, FireFly, Babylon 5, and other space dramas will feel right at home in the Alliance universe.
• Uses the innovative "2x2" system pioneered in Fable on your Table and streamlined in Dungeon Hero and AdvanceQuest to provide simple but evocative rolls that have multiple interesting outcomes.
• Features a powerful and simple system for character and starship creation, allowing you to easily represent just about any species, skill set, technology, or personality you want.
• Has a very small "print and play" footprint, despite the hundreds of pages of content.  You only print two pages to play, maybe a few more if you want handy reference sheets, and the rest can stay on your devices.
• Designed from the ground-up for satisfying, immersive solitaire sci-fi exploration.  Includes a powerful procedural mission generator that reacts to your command decisions as captain.  Do you want to shrewdly strategize, or compassionately advocate, or boldly lead?  No matter what you want to do as captain, the system can accommodate it and still provide challenge and story prompts.
• Two ways to play: pre-authored narrative adventures or procedural missions.
• Includes "coziness" features that allow you to tailor the difficulty to your liking as you play, whether you want a laid-back storytelling adventure or a tough-as-nails tactical marathon, the system works seamlessly to switch difficulties.
• Includes optional expansion materials for extended, detailed storytelling, like specifications for excursion vehicles such as shuttles and exosuits, "vignette" missions which highlight individual crew members or introduce "weird" phenomena, and dangerous "nemesis" enemies who actively plot against you and strike when you least expect it.

I'm very excited to get this out there.  Please join me on Father's Day to get started on adventures in the Alliance galaxy.

In the mean time, you can download Charon Wormhole for free to get a taste of the setting, the gameplay, and the types of adventures you're likely to find in the full game.

And remember – may Earth always guide you home!
