The Rich Explorer – even more challenging than start as a tribe. You have nice equipment such as laser rifle and not spoilage food, but no one back you up, when you fall.
People called you crazy for leaving your glitterworld home, but you always yearned to explore the stars – outside the neurosimulator. Now you’re at the end of your long journey in cryptosleep, landing on an unknown rimworld to see what it’s like.

Naked Brutality – even worse scenario than rich explorer. You starting also single but absolutely naked and with no items. So many little events can go fatal for you pretty fast. No clother, no weapon, no backup or helping hand.
Only for truly experienced hardcore players.
You went under anesthetic for a minor surgery. Now you’ve awoken in a drop pod crashing into a distant planet. You’re naked, alone, and totally unprepared. Can you survive?
Warning: There is nothing fair about this scenario – it is extremely difficult and death can happen for any reason.
Start with 1 person.
Player starting characters have a 100% chance to start naked.
Storytellers
Cassandra – is a fair storyteller. After disaster will always be nice event or same time to recover from it. Cycles of Cassandra are completely predictable, so you can plane yours future and strategy for surviving with no fear.
Cassandra creates story events on a classic increasing curve of challenge and tension. She’ll push you with dangerous events, then give breathing room, then come back to push once more.
Phoebe – its calm and quiet storyteller. After bad event you will have long-long time of peace, when nothing happen at all.
Phoebe gives lots of time between disasters to build your colony. But beware – at high difficulties, she’ll hit as hard as anyone.
Randy is completelly unpredictable and he can give you several good events or several bad, and do it at the same time! So he can save you from death with nice events, as same as make you a garantee grave with negative ones.
Randy doesn’t follow rules. He’ll generate random events, and he doesn’t care if they make a story of triumph or utter hopelessness. It’s all drama to him.
Warning: Since Randy is truly random, he will sometimes send extremely difficult or unfair groups of events at you. It makes for high drama – and unavoidable sacrifices.
