STARFARER is an immersive, open world, free-play RPG set in the near future. It is optimized for use with LLM as DM (GROK works best). You can read the STARFARER.txt to get details for how it works... You start on earth, the LLM creates a discovery arc (unique) that leads you to space. You are free at that point (sandbox). You can enlist on ships by taking job offers from station terminals at space stations or habitats to start. You will onboard as junior crewman, and perform duties for the number of specified missions (and get paid according to contract terms). You can get promoted, bonuses, or fired if you do really poorly. Have Fun! If you try it and have comments or suggestions drop it here-- there are many limitations that are inherent to the current state of persistent memory access and context awareness of LLMs, and I can't fix those. I have spent about six weeks of test-fix-test to get to this point and it runs quite well.
For a new Game:
1. TELL GROK: I would like to play STARFARER RPG--I will drop the Canon in 4 Sections
2. Cut and Paste the Four Main Sections from Starfarer.txt (META RULES & PARAMS, WORLD SPACE AND OPERATIONS, ASSETS & EQUIPMENT, and CHARACTER & CREW REF)
3. GROK will then prompt you for a few sentences of input for the Backstory and ask if you want to start with Chow Chow Companions (Akira and Ravi).
4. Have Fun!
For an ARC RESET:
1. When you begin to see the LLM getting sluggish, consistently confusing times/places, or otherwise floundering it's time. (Usually several days (20 to 40 hours actual play))
2. Ensure your Dynamic Back-up File is up to date
3. Tell GROK: Continuing RPG Play: Prepare for full Arc Reset (i) I will drop Canon in 4 Sections (ii) I will drop any auxiliary persistent data needed (iii) I will drop all dynamic updates (iv) I will drop the last full scene, then we can pick up.
4. Cut and Paste the Four Main Canon Sections from Starfarer.txt
5. Cut and Paste any auxiliary persistent data (e.g. non canon TTPs, Formations, personal load-outs or Operational Plans you want to re-use)
6. Cut and Paster your Dynamic Updates (Based on ARC RESET TEMPLATE.txt)
7. Drop the very last one or two (up to four if it makes sense) full scenes from the old Arc conversation block.
8. Have Fun! (After you are sure it worked, close old Arc)
