A grounded high-science-fiction universe created by W. D. Johnston. Archive material, series information, and public playtest projects from the frontier.
The crew of the Halcyon Wake accepts a classified Dawnline contract and uncovers the buried record of humanity’s most dangerous failed experiment. A grounded cosmic-horror survival trilogy about distance, institutional control, and the refusal to treat human lives as acceptable losses.
After humanity breaks through distance, Kaiya Graves hunts fugitives across alien frontiers, criminal ports, and black-market science corridors. A gritty frontier sci-fi series about contact, exploitation, and a dangerous woman learning that discovery can be more radical than revenge.
A three-player standard-deck game combining Spades-style contracts, captured-card poker, betting, bluffing, and three competing pots. Choose four cards to burn, bid eight rocks, control what you capture, and decide whether your money belongs in the Dust, the Ante, or the Grave.
