Welcome to the latest ’5D Pop Culture Website Pick Of The Week Award’, the opportunity to share something in the world of Pop Culture (usually, but not exclusively RPG-related). This week’s choice falls well and truly within of the RPG universe and will shortly be on my own ’to buy’ list on the DriveThrRPG link below.
*
And while the ’5D Pop Culture Website Pick Of The Week Award’ may not be; a) The most prestigious award in the TTRPG community, or b) A snappy, concise award title – well, it will be something we take rather seriously at 5DHQ as we fastidiously wade through the plethora of weekly releases.
*
And while there may be no review, or even more importantly, no prize, there is the knowledge that the winner has our undying love and adoration…..though not in a creepy way, obviously.

Embers of the Imperium
The Fate of the Galaxy Rests in Your Hands
Since the fall of the Lazax Empire, the galaxy has been plagued by thousands of years of chaos, war, and isolation. Now, finally, the once-great civilizations have restored some semblance of their former glory, and have cast covetous eyes on the wider galaxy once more.
*
Each of the major galactic powers has sent representatives to the ancient Imperial capital of Mecatol Rex. There they have jointly reconvened the Galactic Council, publicly pledging to work together even as they privately scheme to claim the Imperial throne for themselves. But even as they plot to conquer the galaxy, threats both new and old stir at the edges of known space.
*
You are one of the Keleres, an agent of the Council tasked to eliminate those threats. You are empowered with the Council’s authority, but burdened with their factionalism and infighting. Unappreciated, unsupported, and all too often expendible, you and your cohort may be the only thing standing between the galaxy and destruction.

- Expanded rules for individual agendas that can inspire you to work with your teammates to accomplish difficult goals or tempt you to betray your oath to the Keleres and even your fellow agents!
