A few very minor spelling issues/typos in Act One. It should be "Irilitok" not "Irilotok" (page 120) "Othsekuu" not "Onsekuu" (page 129); clearly just a typo, since an earlier passage got it right.

There's a lot of rich stuff in here. It's making good use of all the various power blocs and interest groups in the Core -- the nobility (from knights to dukes), the Moot, the Chanestin, the criminal syndicates, the merchants, the common people in the belter communities. I like how it's also...

A fine way to end the working week!

I wrote some deliberately vague stuff on the wiki for the relevant sector pages, extrapolating from what we know about the larger region. Basically: The Vargr might have reached it, some of them -- adventurous types, explorers, etc., who can say? The Extents is too vast and chaotic for any...

That "island" with Koog Sector in the middle? So far as I can tell, no-one has done anything with it, officially or otherwise. It seems to me that if someone wanted to introduce a new power or notable race into the setting, that might be a good place to put them. It does look enticing, doesn't...

Got the sourcebook. 😁

Which makes me wonder how that translates. I can see some Solomani thinking they're clever and using it as a stealth insult -- until the Vargr catch on. Although for all we know (or decide), Vargr have words to distinguish monkeys that they use as insults in the same way, and scratch their...

Hmmm... maybe "Pelts!", shorthand for "Pelts of my ancestors..."?

I quite liked all the Vargr artwork; the religious dress, the various ranked costumes and insignia, the consistent aesthetic on various Vargr characters. And I never say no to colour artwork of the various species, so seeing a Salika depicted was nice.

Good stuff! I'm liking the two new adventures; they make good use of some of the more interesting established lore in the Rift. Salika and doomsday Vargr.

I know this is about non-sophonts, but both the Dishaan and the Gl'lu are examples of sophont species descended from intimidator stock; that might also give some insight into how intimidators work. The Dishaan are pure intimidators; they have a "do anything to get ahead" mentality, looking for...

Also, since you've confirmed this is set in the Spinward Marches, it's a long way from Gurungan territory. They don't really travel beyond the Solomani Rim, it seems.

^ A Gurungan might be fun, given their solipsistic attitude and "talking past you" style of communication. Imagining one giving a mission briefing is amusing. Oh so cloak-and-dagger, implicit and indirect. Like she's playing up some odd form of plausible deniability. Ebokin would be fun too...

A Gl'lu. Who thinks up every possible disastrous outcome and probable mishap, and grimly lists all potential consequences of the mission going wrong (but also how to get back on track in the aftermath). The strategists at the office love hir, the people on the ground hate hir.

Sometimes the aliens are cheating. Sullustans speak the Bantu language of Haya, apparently. Or maybe SoroSuub simply has a lot of Tanzanian investors?
