More about the #Traveller #TTRPG. This is my last post before going #solarpunk. I talk about the origin of life and how it effects game play and world building.
I also give a "shout out" to Sidney Fox who was both a great scientist and a wonderful person.

Traveller tonight! We catch up with the crew of Stalker One on layover at the cold and unimportant world of Manchion on the way to their actual mission at the agricultural world of Vaccaro to help solve a political stalemate. They were asked to lend their ship to search for a missing Noble scion.

All I know about Comics these days is what I remember from the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe. But man, I read that a LOT.
Need to see if there's a collection.

First game of 2026 is back to Traveller tonight. My PC is a shady archaeologist who joined the crew a year ago while fleeing gambling debts. Since then it’s been mad scientists, ancient tech, and now running from corrupt corps. I’ve really come to appreciate the game and look forward to more. 🤘🏻😊🚀

After a break for the holidays, Traveller resumes this Friday, as we pick up Team Agamemnon for their stop at the very old and seemingly uneventful world of Manchion, home to a single Corpo outpost.

We also saw our first, very brief, Traveller combat tonight. 5th session overall.
Now Astarte heads back to Maquelar to hard-sell the corpos who financed their mission. (The Scouts were also involved, but the potential big payday comes from the corpos.)
I think we will go full-dialogue for that.

Traveller tonight! The crew of ISV Astarte refueled and headed out to the surmised secret pirate fuel depot at Point Xerxes. The station chief's attempted trap was sprung on himself, as the unfortunates who got sent to man this craphole did him in, with some prompting from the Travellers.

The #TravellerRPG campaign, Embers of Orion. It is the far, FAR future, 15-20k years from now. Humanity and other species have expanded to the very edges of the Orion Arm. No large interstellar state has emerged for millennia.
Just off the outer edge of the Orion Arm lies the Outer Skerry Sector.
