The TMF Hope is a standard freight ship running cargo between planets. There’s no reason something should have gone wrong with their last standard hyper-jump. But apparently something did, because now the ship seems to be caught between several dimensions, and the ship is being pulled apart. If we could all just work together, I’m sure we can fix this…

“TMF Hope” is a Secrets and Powers style game written to run on a custom Discord Bot. The game is for 9 characters, and runs 2 hours of play, with time beforehand for familiarizing players with the technology required to manage inventory and signage in a digital space. The game may end up feeling a little like a text RPG as you interact with the ship and manage mechanics, on top of audio conversations using the Discord chat to interact with other players. This will be a fairly early test of the technology, and the game will likely prove to be a moderate to high cognitive load (much like a fast paced, high complexity LARP with lots of mechanics in person might feel.) Players should expect to split their game attention between talking to a few of their fellow players at a time (not every player will have access to every voice chat, so conversations should remain a manageable size) and interacting with text based mechanics to modify the spaceship, pick up/use items, use abilities on each other, etc. The game will be high stakes, with risk for characters to not survive the crisis.

Not all characters are what they claim, and the game includes a significant element of portraying your character, pursuing your goals, and uncovering secrets about each other. You should expect moderate to high tension as you race against time to save the ship and get home safely.
