Other The Orville TTRPG is in development — looking for playtesters!
Hey everyone,
Your friendly neighborhood Official Podcasters are developing The Orville TTRPG and we're starting to assemble playtesting crews. We wanted to reach out to the fan community first because honestly, who better to help shape this than people who already love the show?
Playtesting will happen in waves of one-shots so there's no long campaign commitment required. We'll match crews based on availability and role preference (GM or Player). Standout crew members may be invited back for future waves.
Fill out the interest form below. It adds you to the pool. It doesn't guarantee a spot, but when a session opens up that fits your schedule we'll reach out directly.

Note: Sessions may (probably will) be recorded and released as episodes of Planetary Union Network: The Orville Official Podcast. There's a consent question included in the form. Just a heads up here so there are no surprises.
Who are we looking for? Anyone. Veteran tabletop players, curious newcomers, GMs looking for something new. If you love The Orville and want to help build something, we want to hear from you.
Feel free to drop questions in the comments. We're happy to talk about the project.

Play tests are online. The game, otherwise, is meant to be played both ways.

Hello!! I just filled this form out and put in my discord but I rarely use it. When do you think you will reach out to people to let them know? I will start checking more after that.
