The passage of time leads to death. Death leads to dust or eternal life as an Undead. Time passes.
-From Chant of the King
Time
The GM tracks the time passed. She does so both for starship days and planetside days. One day on a starship equals five days planetside.
As time passes traveling on a starship, the character’s contacts age. Any family or friend will be getting older and closer to death (average life expectancy is 190), and the GM played Operation Handler (Joshua), already elder, statistically gets closer to death. For each year, Joshua has an additional 10% chance of death. Who will handle the escape when he dies?
As time passes events happen. For each week, month, and year passed, roll on the following tables. The GM decides how these events are incorporated into the game.
