I am about to run Lions of Thebus and I was wondering if anyone took the adventure beyond what is written? Someone shot the Ihatai ship down, but who was it? I have been brainstorming a few ideas, but I was curious what others used (mainly to see if your ideas are better than mine). One idea...

I had the same thoughts about Acrid too, but what I did was make it so the area around the down port and facility was protected by the weather control system. I picture it as an idle effect, but they can power it up to open the corridor. I just assumed that nothing could protect a facility if...

Except for the fact that Scholar Voha is a man. "Voha sees his role as protecting the knowledge of the ancient empire of Sindal"

DickTurpin, I saw that page in the book, but it didn't really answer my question. 2 of their ships took excessive damage and they wanted to know labor costs to have them repaired. I was curious about older rules or what others had done. Spending 1d hours per hull point would likely end with...

If a ship gets damaged in a fight, the core book talks about repairing with scrap and it taking 1d hours. My players got the crap kicked out of them suffering pretty severe hull damage, minor m-drive, and lost an armor point. I am trying to figure out repair costs. They agreed this is too much...

Dang, Epicenter. That is some really good stuff. You should put that together into a module. Because I only have 2 sessions to pull this off, I could have the players stumble across a prisoner that is already in the process of building this ship. Like they see him sneaking off to the already...

So, one of my players got pinched while engaging in a bit of space piracy/murder in the Trojan Reach. His hired marine companion got spaced on the spot. This player is also psionic, but his captures are unaware of this. Another of my 3 players is going on vacation and will miss two game...

Those are all great solutions guys. I think I am going to go with the armor having a durability or HP. It won't always take damage, but when hit hard enough, it will. I've had to make drastic changes to prewritten adventures to make things threatening. My most recent was increasing the number...

Thanks for the suggestions everyone!

In an upcoming session, I'm thinking about giving them environmental challenges that their armor will make more difficult. Like traversing a mud pit or extreme humidity that coats and obstructs their vision. I have already house ruled that doing things that require fine motor skils, like first...

Perhaps I was to lenient on my players, but I basically allowed them to buy what they wanted from the supply catalog as long as they had the cash and went to a place that had it. So now they all have badass armor and I am finding that most of the pre written stuff has threats that can't really...

Thanks paltrysum, Strend Cluster is perfect for what I was going for. Plus I already used a French accent (or as good of one as I could muster, lol) for my npc.

Does anyone know of a world that uses a lot of cybernetics as part of it's culture? As in, someone not cybernetically enhanced is the weird one or even ostracized. I am working on an adventure and want to add a little flavor. I was wondering if a place like this already existed or if I need to...

I am running the Drinax campaign and if i understand these rules right, the harrier gets -6 to be detected plus -1 for each TL difference between the ship and the sensors trying to lock on. That means a SDB gets a -9 to locate the harrier on the sensors? The operator would need to have a 4...

Thank you both for your input. Your ideas Hal have given me some new ideas. I just hope the players make better choices. We'll find out tonight.
