Welcome to Starhaven!

Hello heroes! Thank you for stopping by today! I wanted to take a few moments to tell you all what is next for our NetherWar cast now that the finale is over. We’re taking these amazing players and putting them in spaaaaaace.

That’s right, we are going to Starhaven, the titular setting in Green Ronin Publishing’s upcoming sourcebook. Instead of focusing on magical heroes, as we did for NetherWar, our new PCs are going to be refugees from the stars looking to find a new home in a hostile wilderness.

We’ll be introducing them to you over the next few weeks, but each of them is incredibly interesting. I can’t wait for you all to see the art we ordered from the amazing Savanna Sheer. See this link to commission some of her work for yourself!

We will be discussing the show—something we’re calling Guardians of Haven — for an hour on March 21st at 7pm EST and then we premier on March 28th. I will go ahead and break down a little bit of what superhero shenanigans we have in store this time. As I said, our heroes are aliens who have recently arrived in Starhaven.

Starhaven is set in a Preserver ruin on Jupiter’s moon Europa. It is a frontier town and melting pot with clashing cultures, natural dangers around every corner, and the eyes of the galaxy upon it. Our heroes will have the genuine ability to influence the future of this settlement. I am the tiniest bit nervous that this will be the first series in the USP Earth-Prime universe that is completely custom written by me. It’s so exciting and we do have a bunch of interesting antagonists lined up to face our heroes, including the dread Captain Kraken found in Rogues Gallery.

Some of my writing influences through this piece are Guardians of the Galaxy, Red Dead Redemption, Firefly, Mass Effect, Land of the Lost, Gangs of New York, Empire of Sin: A Story of Sex, Jazz, Murder, and the Battle for Modern New Orleans by Gary Krist, and Star Wars. I want to showcase a melting pot, powder keg, with a lot of political maneuvering, and that criminal element mixed with the natural wonder of exploring this ancient ruin. I do intend to be nicer to my players than I was in NetherWar.

The show will not be as long as NetherWar, but will still be a lengthy season with the option to do more if there is interest. We do have a special guest in the works for one of our Guardians of Haven story arcs, but I won’t spoil that fun just yet.

Keep an eye out here over the next couple of weeks as I let the players introduce their characters. Thank you for coming on this journey with us! See you space cowboy…
