Assisted Migration

Plants! Animals! Complicated people! In space! 

Assisted Migration is a 100 page world compendium and adventure framework inspired by Chris Wolf's Offworlders.  The expansive world and detailed plot hooks allow for a lengthy, immersive campaign.  Though the setting is outer space, the adventure is not bound by science fiction genre conventions, unless players want it that way. The ecological concept of assisted migration is at the heart of this adventure. It refers to several ways in which plant or animal species might be purposefully relocated, as a response to climate change, in order to prevent extinction and continue biological diversity.  Overall, ecology, ethics, and social complexity are the prevailing  themes.

The adventure is played with the same Powered by the Apocalypse mechanics used in Offworlders. Rolls of two six-sided dice (2D6) determine the degree of success or failure for actions that players choose to take. This accessible and flexible way to play allows the GM and players considerable opportunity for improvisation and mutually generated narrative.

For a quick start, obtain the rules for Offworlders and use them together with this publication. Otherwise, this adventure is readily adaptable to be played with a variety of approaches by more seasoned GMs.
