Description

In this Starforged RPG solo actual play, we follow the story of Emile Spencer, who wakes up stranded in space on a ship in the middle of crashing into the atmosphere of an unknown planet. He has vague memories of encountering a titanic, cosmic beast, VY-572, but there is no one around to tell him any more and no time to do anything but try and survive.
