Everything was going great for humanity. Well, maybe not great, but at least ‘fine.’ That is until the supernova knocked out communications with all those frontier settlements on new worlds. The United Americas have hired you to join a scientific research and recovery vessel. Re-establish connection with the lost colonies and determine if any of them are viable for new deployments. The paycheck is huge. And leaving that rock called earth could hardly be considered a bad thing anyway. All that exists out here is possibility.
The Lost Colonies is a 7-part campaign with ample opportunity for sandbox exploration of the space frontier. As such, it is a mid-length campaign but can be explored more fully according to player desires.
How to Prepare
This game will teach you how to play from the ground up. No prior experience is necessary. You may wish to consider why your character has agreed to travel to deep space and find the lost colonies. Do they have family with them? Do they have family left behind? What skillset do they provide? These questions are merely to kickstart your imagination. Feel free to come to the first session with nothing but a desire to play.
The only thing you need to be concerned about preparing is your audio/video components on your computer. Cameras are not required, but they are recommended. Microphone is necessary.
You don’t need to be familiar with the world of Alien, but it doesn’t hurt. Feel free to watch a movie or two to set expectations.
Materials Provided
All materials that you need in order to play will be provided. If you prefer physical dice, you may use them as long as the rest of the table agrees. If you do, you’ll need six d6 dice (the normal dice). Everything else you need will be provided: characters, character sheets, maps, digital dice, rules, etc.
This game will use Foundry VTT to facilitate play. You may want to create an account with Foundry.

I had an amazing one shot last night and I had a lot of fun. A small group of people but it was still very entertaining and engaging. Answering any and all questions we had and made it very easy to play! Would def recommend!!!
This was my first time playing a full campaign and EJ made it amazingly fun! There were so many things that I wanted to do with my character and EJ was always open to it or found ways to make it even more interesting! He’s very easy to talk to if you have any sort of questions and I always appreciated how comfortable he made the sessions feel! Our campaign lasted for over a year but it never felt boring and there was always something new or interesting happening! EJ also creates such lasting and impactful moments between characters with his wonderful descriptions and narrations. I am so grateful to have been able to play with him and can’t recommend him enough to others!
EJ made my first experience playing with RPG Club welcoming, comfortable and enjoyable. Our mini-campaign was full of adventure, zany characters and had lots of room for exploration and roleplay, balanced with plenty of support for new players as a learn-to-play module. Would highly recommend him for beginning and experienced players, alike. Thanks, EJ! Hope to play with you again, soon!
I had the pleasure of finally getting to join one of EJ’s games last night, and even though I didnt know much about a system that I had barely heard of, all we needed to bring was ourselves and to be ready to relive our lives as curious Kids.
EJ took the time to include every player, ensured we knew a lot about our little band of player Kids, and guided us along a masterful and cute little adventure as we discovered something amiss while we lived our best lives being Kids, siblings, besties and enjoyed each other’s company.
EJ is a wonderful GM. Patient, very engaging. Listens and always happy to help or clarify a rule or situation as we inevitably stumbled into trouble. It was a joy to play, and the time still flew by even as we overran (and he graciously let the one shot play out and not rush us to any finish).
I have been wanting to join a game of EJ’s for a while and it did not disappoint. Time zone differences mean it may not happen too often but I will definitely do my best to keep an eye out. Shout out to my fellow Kids (Lauren, Bethany, Dustin) as we all had a blast (and bought way too much ice cream, worms and crackers lol)
I started playing with EJ after signing up for Call of Cthulhu. It was my first time playing that system & I have had an absolute blast. EJ is great to collaborate with at the table, he really has his finger on the pulse for what players what & he delivers that for them. Some of my favorite people to play D&D with are connections I’ve made at EJs tables. I really wanted to play a few mini D&D campaigns so I could try out new character ideas & EJ made it happen. I had an absolute blast playing them & look forward to more of them in the future. If you want a collaborative GM who will make sure you have a great time play with EJ!
