Something of a shameless self plug here - I have a new academic article out in a History journal this week. Not sure if it's electronically available just yet, but I have received my copies. The journal is the 'Journal of Australian Colonial History', 2011, Vol. 13. My article appears on pp 183-206,...

Does that translate into bonus XP, or other shiny presents for the players?

Quite possibly . . .

Hey guys - sorry for not having updated things in a week. I have been very busy getting organised and moving etc. I just received my examiner comments yesterday and, although that's all excellent, it has interrupted my schedule a bit. I will be able to update in a little over 48 hours. Really sorry ...

I'm in the midst of a move, so my update might not happen today (or until Monday). Sorry for the delay.

Submitted orders.

Thanks for that. I was wondering if you were both ok, but had not had net access for four or five days to ask. Good to know that neither of you were hurt. I will assume Garrius stays on the Invictus, while Zarkov leads the expedition to the planet. Could everyone else indicate if they are taking par...

I remember them. I didn't want to interact with them much further while we were there, though. Galen was getting all bitchy about her dishonorable plans involving their deaths, and then we were just doing "wrap up" after the ceiling collapsed. But what would they have told us? The locatio...

"Lieutenant Vehle, what do our scans of the planet tell us? Are there any signs of habitation there? Perhaps while some are down scouting the base, which now clearly has inhabitants, others may head to the planet and see what supplies can be found there. It would certainly be preferable to fin...

This is a case where the players would have benefitted by interacting with minor NPCs more. Remember those brash young nobles at the Masquareade who claimed to be on an galactic hunting safari?

((Thanks for pointing that out. Sorry for asking an obvious question, but I simply missed all that stuff from the beginning oddly. Anyway, I would strongly recommend not starting until we have an official sub-forum. Things will get messy and confusing otherwise))

Sending private messages out right now. Rules and stats have already been posted. Ask me for help if you need it. From now on, OOC posts should be made in ((double brackets)), otherwise I will assume it is all In-Character. ((It would be useful if we had a sub-forum for this game. As for the rules,...

'Of course, Lieutenant Commander,' Tyor nods, 'but I meant under the supervision of officers. But you are correct. Too bad there are no former naval commissars in the crew. I will volunteer to lead any team to either the planet or the moon. Give me two officers with sidearms and I can garuntee I'll ...

90th Day Since Embarkation (90 days until deadline) Duranastil-Providence II stares blankly into the Void, a vast lidless ice-blue orb slowly orbiting around a tiny sun whose warmth barely touches her surface. A frozen moon is locked in a lifeless dance about the planet, circling its partner and wa...

The Albinus colonies food supplies? I am dubious about ripping into those unless I really need to cause it will no doubt piss off the consortium. They have been at the back of my mind for some time though. Yeah, that's it. They would need to be replaced if you did, and it would probably not so simp...

There's a really obvious solution (if you think about the Port Wander segment) to the whole crisis. It's not so much a hard solution, but I'm surprised no-one has thought of it. I'm tempted to do Int tests, but that would spoil the fun.

The Command Deck of the Invictu s is tense with the expectation of fevered activity. Though many keep about their work, particularly the communications officers working with Vehle amongst the Comms gantries, almost all wait nervously for some word from the Lord-Captain that may get them out of their...

"Anybody knows anything else about Fips, you come down and talk to me about it. We'll talk in private, like, so nobody can hear me callin' anybody else a fool." [ This happens some time during the next cycle, while Salt has some rec time ] The suicide of Jeyd Fips sends fear stalking thro...

I wrote a reply to that which got swallowed in the Immaterium, so I'll just make a defacto reply later today when I do it IC. Your logic is sound, though keep in mind that rolls may have come into it.

I think I mentioned that there was fifteen days left, roughly. No comms chatter could mean a few things - it might mean that the base is abandoned; or their vox systems are faulty; they could be deliberately avoiding contact; or there may be intereference from something else, like astral bodies, pir...

Rough Hands Captain Gaius Trulitch, having listened to the suggestions of Lt. Cmdr Zarkov, approaches Lord-Captain Garrius Amphael with a suggestion. In light of recent stresses on the Armsmen and the Master-at-Arms, Trulitch offers to use the Alid-Yuril security team for patrols. As there are only...
