I picked up the borderlands system PDFs (Wildeman etc) and they are stat free with loads of info about the system that fills in a lot of unknowns. I would pick up more of these if my players happened to be heading that way and would love to have more available for Tech-World and other Drinax adjacen...

Thanks. I look at High Guard almost every game session and I never noticed this. Thanks.

Title says it all. Is there a formula to determine how long it takes eg tons x weeks? My player are having the ships Tech Worlds requires built for them and I wondered how long it would take.

My review does give all of the chapter headings as well as an idea of what is actually in the book that may help you decide. I went for it for the transponder info alone. Everything else was a bonus.

Ahem, that may be hullcutter. I will make that correction.

Play it out and the answer will reveal itself. No one except your players can say. There are possibilities but that is all.

I think the answer is no, you can’t preempt where a ship is going to jump in system. The one instance this came up in my game so far was to ambush an Aslan trade convoy. The reason I allowed the players to ambush them was because the information they gathered told them the astrogation route they wou...

My assumption is the astrogation check is the means of deciding where you exit jumpspace. The idea that the planet itself would pull the ship out of jump early is a good one but without having every planet mapped I’ve always averaged travel time to any location on the surface from the exit point. Th...

Yup they all seem plausible. My group didn’t find out but they may do should they dig a little deeper but they seemed happy enough to just move on right now.

For anyone interested I’ve done a breakdown/ review of the Companion. It is VERY long and just gives a bit of detail into what I find useful from it I’m my own game. It can be found at https://mesozoic-press.blogspot.com

Byrni would be a good place to have something, as would the guy that’s the patron hook for Noricum, a descendent who may have just stashed the item as it wasn’t useful.

I think the idea is that Oleb Sold them off to prolong his life and keep the palace running but they would be great mcguffins to get PCs to visit more “interesting” planets in search of them.

Can gravity plates from starships he used on planets to create zero g rooms or even just a normal 1g environment? If so then I guess this can explain the gravity discrepancies a little.

Yeah, stats I assigned it the packages are handy to give me a quick scout, tribesman or whatever.

I’ve used the new rules to create NPCs a little quicker l, just tweaking skills a little to get them exactly right. It’s been a great time saver.

Has it been established that a failing jump bubble can’t be reestablished during the 7 day flight? I’d be tempted to allow a difficult engineer (jump drive) check each day to establish a better bubble and cease all intrusions.

Stop creating custom table that give the players everything on a plate.

Page 110. Creeping Horror section, line 6:
Maye a mad crewman.... should be Maybe a mad crewman....

I’ve always gone with A but I can see B being a possibility if something major was discovered mainly so the PCs don’t lose stuff they just brought to a high law level world. I could see the nessessity of creating smuggling areas for this type of equipment and if it was going to end up being taken aw...

Not sure where to put it, but the Misjumps table on page 143 has a 1D roll listed but it should be 2D.
