Space1889: The Movie – Teaser/Short Film
Happy St. Patrick’s Day
Happy St. Patrick’s Day 2016!
While at a bar at the StarTown at Tremous Dex (SM-1311) and drinking a very black beer with a creamy head the PCs are approaches by a very small man in green clothes.
He says that he may be able to trust you since you are drinking the black beer. He says that he needs your help to retrieve a stolen treasure at Zenopit (SM-1010), just a few parsecs away…
Now please continue this story inspired of the image above…
I also wanted to remind you of Eire Subsector and the pdf with adventure ideas that you can download for free.
Squadron Strike: Traveller
Squadron Strike: Traveller is a Kickstarter project for a game of Traveller Space Combat. It looks quite clever and a lot easier to play than Mayday.
It has already reached a few stretch goals, so if you need (or just want) a Traveller Space Combat game, then you should check it out.
The Mote in God’s Eye
The Mote in God’s Eye is a classic Science Fiction book by Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle. When I read it on the bus home from work, one person (that I don’t know) started talking to me about the book. That is very unusual behavior in Sweden.
The book is about the first contact with an alien race (the Moties) that lives in a star-system in the Coalsack Nebula. They don’t have FTL drives, but the humans does. Their location in the nebula has prevented them from inventing an FTL drive, but other than that they are very clever.
The book is mainly about how the humans learn more about this race and eventually their secrets.
The Moties are not only clever. They are also very interesting in other ways. They are asymmetric. Just like the Droyne, they are divided into different castes that physically look different from each other.
The Man-Kzin Wars
The Kzinti is a tiger-like alien race of warriors from the planet Kzin. They may look a bit like Aslan from Traveller, but they are not Aslan. The Kzinti males are intelligent but the females are not.
The Kzinti is a race created by the author Larry Niven. In this book he has written the first of three short stories. The other stories are written by Paul Anderson and Dean Ing.
The first story is about the first meeting between the Humans and the Kzin. It doesn’t end well for one of the races…
The second story is about a Kzinti base at an old metal-poor star racing through the galaxy. The interesting thing about this story is that these old stars really exist. However, the story felt like it was set in a sandbox, to not upset the canon of Larry Niven’s work.
The third story is even worse. This is a sandbox. The human hero is stuck in some kind of zoo that was built by some kind of ancients.
But even though two of the stories are set in sandboxes, I enjoyed reading this book by three great authors.
