StarCluster 4 - Out of the Ruins IRC Game

So, next weekend I start a second StarCluster 4 - Out Of The Ruins game, this one on Sundays over IRC. After the new year I will be switching between that and our extremely long running Classic Setting IRC game every other Sunday. I have been running this game since 2003, through StarCluster 1E, 2E, 3E, and now 4th Edition.

In the Out of the Ruins game, we will be doing an exploration game of a new solar system. The Association has bought up an old license to explore the Valinor system and now the PCs are going to interpret it widely and creatively to use it to explore the new Numenor system on the cheap, while the official Church sponsored expedition is hitting cost overruns and production delays.. :D

In the Classic game, we are playing the four grown up heirs to our old Beginner's Luck crew, three years after the crew disappears - they "mis-jumped" into Jeshen Space, and have no idea how to get back! The four girls were rescued from a life as age-retarded sex workers - they were given a drug at a very early age that slowed their aging, and looked 12 when they were over 18 - and adopted by the crew. The were in their second year at college when the Luck disappeared. Now they have graduated, and are about to unleash themselves on the world.
