Everett Kolchak
Detective Kolchak

Creatures
A number of strange creatures exist in HIGs, and most of them are the result of bioengineering. In the initial expansion away from Earth, many companies sent colonies out to space with little supervision once the colonies were created, leading to some literal mad scientist antics...
Horses
The One True All-Terrain Vehicle
Due to the many differing types of terrain on all the planets that are in the process of being settled, robotic horses have become the go-to mode of transportation. They don’t get stuck in ditches, they can navigate difficult terrain with an AI and 4...

Ship Life
Not everyone lives on planets, as there are established communities of spaceships that rarely land. These caravans sometimes are made of families or groups who will “link” their ships together with tethers that ensure they travel as a safe and cohesive unit. These people are often...

Banditry
Past the meteoroid belt is pretty lawless. Despite the typically high pay, miners that go out to rocky moons and asteroid farms sometimes are tempted by the valuables they find. It’s not hard to find a fence out in the open space to sell these illegal gains off to, especially as...
Pluto
Technically not a planet, but at least large enough to be acknowledged, Pluto is brought up in daily conversation as a slang for “unlivable” or “out of reach”. Most ships do not have the capacity to reach this little dwarf planet as not only is it the farthest from Earth, but it is also...
Earth
The Earth is rather different than we know it now. Ocean levels are higher, glaciers are practically nonexistent, but despite the climate change humanity made great strides in adapting and cleaning things up. The Earth is a shining, pristine gem with silvery shimmery skyscrapers and lush...
Horseshoes and Ion Grenades Lore
The year is 3487. Humans have colonized almost every planet in the solar system, to varying degrees of success. Many of these colonies are just that: they have not grown independent or even necessarily stable yet. They were in the midst of a Great Expansion and...
CHARACTER RULES
This is a sci-fi western roleplay. Sci-fi is the setting but aesthetically is taking a back seat. We highly recommend making your character somewhat western-y, if possible, but go all out on genre twists if you'd like! Check the GM and Approved Character Sheets for references...
