I also had fun when the PCs realized they could easily destroy their own vessel with their main gun. "Wow! A direct hit from our Beam Laser would shoot through our ship like it was made of tin foil." "Well, your character is remembering a old saying about the Scout Service. 'The Scouts fly...

My idea is that Reynard swore to follow Captain Slangr Hevnar as steward and pilot for, let's say four years. Slangr, however, eventually headed back to Enos to take over the clan holdings after someone passed away. Reynard is stuck in his contract (in the Sword Worlds, word is bond -- if he...

So, I had decided off-the-cuff that there was exactly 1 ton of freight headed to Enos. I did that, not remembering anything about Enos from the Mongoose Sword Worlds book. Reading the book, even 1 ton of freight is a lot! It's a low-pop E-class world with a Sword Worlder culture and some hinky...

I had a few weeks' hiatus but the players completed the several months of rescue work with the rescue of the Amishi. They realized they might have trouble distinguishing hostages from hijackers, so the team medic used sedatives to sedate everybody as they were recovered; they were then brought...

The players jumped at the salaries offered as they are still desperately poor. Once they got to the 875-496 station, they were pleased with their new toys. Sar Aylen gave them a tour and went over her expectations as XO. They got to meet the Station Commander, Chrix Derison, who told them the...

So, they didn't bite. They actually, wisely, considered that I had Gelin Hrey as a Sword Worlder, and didn't want to possibly impact their future endeavors in the region. Smart actually. In any case, I was able to extemporaneously plant the hook for the scenario "Heiress" by Ewan Quibell, from...

Not just rumors! I heard it from Darth Plagueis the Wise, so you know it's true! Or, at the very least, truthy!

I think, for the game tomorrow, since they've just met a shady collector-type figure, I might run the scenario "Filch" by Michael Brown from Freelance Traveller #20 and have the target be Mr. Gelin Hrey, the receiver of the illicit cargo.

Speaking seriously, the spammers have been rolling out more advanced "AI" spam platforms. Stuff like Commune is making it frightfully easy to clog up every possible social outlet online with inane marketing drivel. I blame Canter & Siegel for that USENET thing in 1994...

Ooh, they kept it! The characters are definitely on the roguish side.

Doing 1 jump-1 at a time, the PCs went to Bowman. They are buying refined fuel at all starports to avoid taxing the jump drive even further. Asking for work to pay for the fuel, they flew three scientists to the Darrian Dig Site on Bowman Epsilon, the highly-eccentric moon. I'm saving the rest...

Yeah, I hope they go back sometime.

I picked up the Second Dynasty Scout Ship but I haven't had the chance to find someplace to print it. Although, I think one of the local libraries have a 3D printer with very modest fees for use. But we're mostly playing online, so it makes less sense sadly... So, I don't want to distract too...

You know, I forgot that Skandersvik had a District 268 element. I'll be cannibalizing it extensively for Sword Worlds elements later! Thanks!

Okay, I picked it up. I'll have to peruse it and leave a review, but the review from Freelance Traveller on it was very compelling!
