From Storymatic to Star Systems: A Sci-Fi Tale of Redemption and Reckoning

In this episode, we dive into a high-stakes story built from scratch using Storymatic cards and Dan Harmon's Story Circle. Follow the journey of an unassuming prisoner who’s forced to confront a galaxy-spanning corporation when he's given a choice: stay in the shadows and face execution, or use his hidden talents to sabotage a rival corporation and gain his freedom. But when the mission puts his estranged wife in harm's way, he faces an impossible choice—stay silent and survive or risk everything to save her. Listen as we explore themes of identity, redemption, and the lengths we’ll go to for those we love, all set in a universe that values profit over human life.
