Heck, sign me up. That’s basically time travel to a future where presumably humanity has gotten its shit together if they’re still around inventing better ships. I see no downsides.
Or you end up with the version of this from the Coriolis RPG setting where humanity collapsed into a second dark age in the time you were traveling, so now you’re trying to bring it cultural enlightenment to the barbarians who have better tech but no idea how to properly build it maintain it.
It’s an interesting setting. Got some science fantasy stuff going on, plus a dash of Babylon 5. It’s published by Free League and uses the same system as Tales From The Loop and their Alien RPG (which is very, very good, btw).
Yeah that’s literally getting to leave with a parade and arriving to being an instant celebrity.
This human being was around 3,000 years ago! They’ve traveled deep space through hypersleep! What mysteries do they have of the long forgotten and ancient past to reveal to us?
Also, here’s all of your space credits from the $1.67 you left in your savings account. You’re now a multi-trillionaire.

Exactly! If it were a generation ship however… That would’ve sucked.
What’s a generation ship? Is that like 3000 years without hypersleep and just kids of kids of kids?
yeah exactly. kim stanley robinson wrote a good novel about why and how much generation ships would suck.
Yes, exactly.

It’s a weird game.

More likely the bank closed in the meantime
Hopefully we’ve done away with the concept of money by then
Narrator: Humanity did not get its shit together.
freeze me again then
Mental note: if we ever invent cryosleep, add a snooze function.
The Magrathea solution.
