I wish we could but we're not quite there yet. Cassie was just showing us some of the latest art today. It is excellent. Her art direction on this project has knocked it out of the park. She curses me daily for the number of maps and deck plans I stuffed into it, but every new piece I see is...

Saw your post on Reddit first. I'll look into it. Thanks for the catch. I love nerd lore, too, and want to the narrative to be consistent with canon.

Turnbull sounded like kind of a jerk. "Only the innumerate" and "they shouldn't be playing it anyway." He comes off as very unpleasant. He critiqued the game too much through the lens of D&D, which people still tend to do. Glad to see lots of games bursting that bubble now, too. Glad he was...

Can't wait to give it a listen! Loved the first one.

My advice would be to keep reading the campaign as each Act is doled out. There would be many ways to continue the narrative. There are events that will happen regardless of whether Naalir still exists. Plus, it might not be quite so simple to destroy it just by blowing it up as you will see. 🤓

See Tracking Jali on p. 109 of Pirates of Drinax Book 1, in the adventure, The Demon's Eye.

Hmm. Got a source on that? I don't remember reading that it's illegal not to have a crew on board, but that would make things interesting for a campaign I'm playing in. I'm currently playing a Hiver who managed to obtain a Whimsy-class personal transport, a fully automated ship. We're using it...

My take on it is the bridge is an interface for humans to control the systems in the ship. If things are automated, there is no need for a bridge. However, when your Referee says that computer gets hacked and the ship could have been operated "on manual," you'll be up the creek without a paddle...

Great-sounding group, Terry. Your Cassildan Traveller will have a chance to interact with a member of his species in Act 2. Not yet, I'm afraid. But we'll update them soon.

Another fave from the same player. After the heist in Treasure Ship, during Pirates of Drinax, the Harrier was hunted down by a Close Escort from the adventure, which the Harrier destroyed over Asim. The Close Escort crashed, tumbling through the atmosphere, and burning up on reentry. One...

When my players rented an air/raft on Tktk to travel into the outback, one of them said to the rental agent: "And we'll take the extra insurance because there's no way this thing is coming back in one piece. "

Perfect fit! He's got a built-in redemption arc. Nice! I hope she's up on her swordplay. 🤺 He will shine in that adventure and he'll come in handy throughout the campaign. She'll be front and centre, solving the ship's mysteries. And a good techie will be useful throughout the campaign...

That makes sense, but I guess it depends on design. For example, I never imagined that a Rampart fighter had an underside access hatch. I kind of imagine them as F-15s in space, and therefore there's just the cockpit entrance. To attach one with a docking clamp, you'd have to attach the fighter...

:LOL: I was probably multi-tasking and not paying close enough attention to the conversation that I decided to participate in. Sorry about that. :giggle: At least we're all more or less in agreement. I think the takeaway is that docking clamps don't seem to have a hard-and-fast rule regarding...

I think we're confusing docking spaces with docking clamps. Or maybe just I am. I don't think these would have an airlock, but the description is deliberately vague. The craft are on the exterior of the hull and thus 1) prohibit the mother ship from performing atmospheric reentry, and 2) enable...
