Space, that final frontier, is where many dream of finding exotic places, new peoples, and a different and more exciting way of life. Unless you were from a time and place where nobody had any idea what those sparkly dots were up there, but even then I bet you wondered.

Of course, none of that prepared you for waking up one morning, not in your bed, but in a random crate smelling of pet dander and ribbon candy. Or a cramped closet with stiletto heels poking you in the back. Or, if you were really unlucky, crammed in a freezer along with somebody's ice pops. After avoiding death by embarrassing suffocation, you'll get treated to your first look at the flying junk heap that you'll now get to call home for an indeterminate amount of time.

Welcome to Outbound Flight! Your mission, according to the angry guy on the public address system, is to explore the furthest reaches of the universe and maybe found the perfect society. Armed with your wits, your skills, and the nifty involuntary tattoo you got somewhere between when you arrived and when you woke up, it's up to you to decide if you'll aid this mission of exploration or hide in your quarters making space moonshine. Maybe you'll play along for the chance to get home.. maybe you'll end up saving the universe.

Why should you join Outbound?

A. We're a small, easygoing game! You can make new friends and interesting cross-canon CR! The pace is medium-to-slow and we are all happy to backtag into the sun.

2. We are the only game that we know of that does not have a quota-based AC. Just check in with a link and an activity summary and you're good to go! Saves you from having to count comments or worry about flunking out when you have a bad month!

III. We have a dynamic metaplot! Events happen bimonthly, and character choices big and small shape the plot. There is also a lot of freedom for players to take on important roles in the ship's day-to-day functioning (or not) -- we are not one of those space games where the NPCs run everything.

Four: It's in space. We are based veeeeeeeery loosely on an obscure Star Wars EU novel, which basically means we're stealing all the cool bits with the Force and lightsabers and ghost ship background and dumping what doesn't suit us to travel a completely original final frontier in style. The game is currently a mix of adventure, exploration, and mystery with a dash of slice of life and the occasional horror thrown in to keep it interesting.
