Hello Patrons!

I finished up my latest review video. This one for the 1981 Traveller adventure Death Station (which is such a metal title). In classic Seth fashion, what I hoped would be a short 15-20 minute video that would be quick to make, blew up into a 30 minute epic that's consumed my last week.  I think I got a bit too sucked into doing some of the tiny details, such as the backplates behind Jack. On the bright side I FINALLY figured out how to get the starfields in the windows behind him to move smoothly.

Anyway, I'll be posting this live tomorrow evening, maybe Friday, but you get to see it now.

Thank you for all you support, and as always, Have a Great Day.

~Seth

Traveller: Death Station - RPG Review

After communication with an orbital station goes silent, the heroes are sent to investigate. And that’s when the space cannibals emerged. Written by Marc Miller, Frank Chadwick, and John Harshmann, the adventure was first published in 1981. In 2010, it was updated and re-published for Mongoose 1e Traveller.

Today was rough, I needed this. Thank you.

Have you played Pirates of Drinax or any other big campaign line for Traveller?

Seth Skorkowsky

Nope. Mongoose sent it to me, but I'm not a big fan of the giant multi-year campaigns as they're difficult to organize and run and I don't know if it'll hold our interest enough.

With a little alteration, this could make for a good way for a scientist to pick up his lab ship that was received for mustering out. Maybe make the patron say that they need to relieve the last crew and send them down with their data. The patron can give a set of "keys" to the ship that would format the computers. The Patron might only help the crew refit the ship better or worse depending on how much data was salvaged, survivors from the old crew made it, and after signing a non-disclosure agreement. Maybe make a contact or rival of the specific individual from the patron-lab who was having this research conducted as an off-the-books project. This could be the Lab-ship version of High & Dry.
