Campaign in a Nutshell: 
suf·fer·ance [suhf-er-uhns, suhf-ruhns] – noun: 1. passive permission resulting from lack of interference; tolerance, esp. of something wrong or illegal (usually prec. by on or by). 2. capacity to endure pain, hardship, etc.; endurance. 3. Archaic. suffering; misery.
Meta-Information: 

This particular campaign came to being as a temporary short-run side game put together in response to a major player unexpectedly leaving our previous main campaign. We went around the table a few times to establish the basics of the new game and its setting, and quickly jumped into it.

I admit that I am rather pleased at how quickly we decided upon a new game, laid out a basic setting from scratch, created four brand new characters, and started playing. I think that whole process took maybe an hour and a half, which rocks.

Also, the primary purpose of this campaign is actual playtesting. Up until now we have been doing a lot of live design, and for this campaign we've decided to hold back the design notes until afterwards.

Campaign Backstory: 

The mining colony of Sufferance, on a planet in a star system far from Earth, is home to 33 civilians, miners and scientists alike. One day, an unexplainable murder changed the course of the colony's short future.

And so by a turn of phrase, a whole planet is named. :}

Just the colony. But I think the word is very fitting, given the definitions and the context =)
