Based in science fiction, these rules lendthemselves to games following certain commonthemes. This is not a definitive list of the type of gamesthat the rules are designed to handle; it is simply ageneral list of common themes for consideration.Commerce - The adventurers live aboard a frontiertrader or merchant trader, making a living through thetransport of freight, passengers, speculative cargoand the occasional odd job. These campaigns heavilyexplore the trade and commerce rules.Drifter - The adventurers constantly move from placeto place, without any fixed home or job, seekingemployment through odd jobs as they explore theuniverse that the Referee has created. These campaignsare sometimes called "Sandbox Campaigns" becausethey explore an area that has been previously createdand populated by the Referee.Espionage - The adventurers all belong to the samegovernment or corporate intelligence agency, andmake a living by going on spy missions against theirenemies. These campaigns tend to be more episodicthan other common campaign themes.Exploration - The adventurers serve aboard a surveyvessel, making a living traveling through previouslyuncharted regions of space, exploring strange newworlds, and seeking out new life and new civilizationsas they boldly go where no sophont has gone before.These campaigns make heavy use of the rules forgenerating worlds.Mercenary - The adventurers all belong to the samemercenary unit, making a living by participating inmilitary actions in the hire of an interested party to theconflict. These campaigns make significant use ofthe personal combat rules, with a particular focus onlarge-scale military scenarios.Political - The adventurers are heavily involved in thesocial and political arena of an interstellar polity,dealing with diplomats, jurisprudence. and otherfactions with vested interests in controlling aspectsof the government. These campaigns tend to focuson diplomacy and political intrigue.Rebellion - The adventurers are involved in a blossom-ing civil war, seeking either to preserve or overthrowthe current government. These campaigns typicallystart with intrigue and end with action.Settlement - The adventurers are on the borders ofexplored space, helping to select a new world for acommunity and then settle it. These campaigns allowa group to develop a single world extensively.One should not feel limited by these ideas, as thegame can change direction. Skill packages should bechosen by need or want, rather than theme.[URL unfurl="true"]https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/458032/kosmic-role-playing-game-core-rules[/URL]Generally I do sci-fi, other games such as Call of Cthulhu, Delta Green, we are some sort of investigators. In D&D type games, it of just straight up adventuring, dungeon crawling.</blockquote>
