OK,
At the end of Bumpy Ride, I'll have all my PCs on Barter. It seems that to run any more adventures, they will have to have a ship (or at least be able to book passage...)
I'm afraid I'll get stuck at that point. What adventures can I run for them on Barter? |

You could always do the "patron walks up and needs a pirate--I mean pilot to fly this ship shipment to somewhere." After a flight or two, the patron gets killed by Anatraxa's minions. I might be doing that assuming the players don't take over the first pirate ship.
Another Idea is to have the players book passage as normal to Simba on a passenger liner, then start out with the levitosian shuttle from there. _________________ Have a Happy,

The only correct answer is ANYTHING you can dream up with the rules of the game and the setting |

As this topic comes up often, I guess someone need to write something.
A scenario (maybe even two or three episodes) that could be played after the prelude and before episode 1. Something cool that shows Slipstream.
Maybe some sort of One-Sheets or even a buyable adventure (I really like the Rippers-adventure - something like this would be cool)
I had thinked about it myself a lot.
The following points are important:
It should start in Barter.
It shouldnt have the possibility that players aquiere a rocketship easily.
It should have the pulp feeling and the action, inclusive a nasty villain and exotic locations.
For example:
figthing against the slavers I had noted some points about this in a other posting, inclusive a 4-part adventure idea. But it has the problem that the players need to travel and so need a rocketship. I think this could be a possibility but the details are murky and the rocketship-problem has to be solved somehow.
Escort some babelonian On Barter the players meet some Babelonian (Librarian Walflump Broseptos maybe). He has a rocketship, and travel around in search for ancient books and informations. But he dislike leaving his spaceship. So he search some adventurous people to explore the ground of some fragments. simple idea, but I have the feeling that it lack the pulp feeling if you travel two weeks trough the nivekian jungle searching for some book(hand how the heck knows the Babelonian about it)-and it didnt has a nasty villain, except some hungry large carnivores.
fight piratism Barter and Hosbec Trade War.
The characters get part of the Barter space patrol project. A sort of space police, strongly controlled by the Queen if it isnt a to strong force, full of her spies, with a few old scout ships. That sounds interesting. But I cant get some idea how to do it.
Roll Streetwise to fing a Hosbec spy? Thats to simple!
Escort some merchant ships and wait until you roll a pirat encounter? Boring
Any other ideas? |
