Welcome to Astra Luminae

Hello, friends and fellow travelers. This blog, Astra Luminae, is meant as a repository for tales of a game I am running using Adventures on Dungeon Planet. If you do not own a copy of this game, please consider giving it a try. It is a "retro sci-fi" game based on the excellent and award-winning Dungeon World rules. I should probably assume everyone reading this already knows, but, well, why not throw out a plug or two?

Astra Luminae is an RPG story set in a quasi-future version of our own universe. The science is extremely soft and will be explained as needed, as the story moves along. Sci-fi conventions and tropes being what they are, some of the more common ones will certainly be found here. If you are familiar with the "old school" serials of Flash Gordon and Buck Rogers, you will find some similarities in Astra Luminae.

Purposefully, I have not fleshed out much of the setting. It will be explored as the story unfolds. This blog will contain as much information as the players know. As is tradition in these narrative games, I am leaving a lot of blank spaces for the players to fill in.

I hope you enjoy this strange journey we are undertaking. As is possible, we will provide game session recaps and possibly player journals to supplement session reports. Anecdotal information about the setting, characters, and story may also appear in this space.
