The Martians are revolting, and it’s up to us to restore harmony for our ever-loving corporate masters. Once again, we have the honour of being the nearest Colonial Marine Unit within the distance of this flare-up of anti-corporate feeling, so pick your kit up and get your head in the game!
There will be a full briefing when we reach UN Base in Martian Orbit.

So that means no civilian casualties or damage to corporate-owned property!
Right get down to the cryo-pods where Private Smith will tuck you in!”

Ascendancy is a Sci-fi Horror adventure. It will be using a hacked version of the Liminal RPG system, a simple 2d6 vs target number system. Inspiration for the setting comes from Ancient Egyptian Mythology and 80s action sci-fi/horror films.
