Introduction Last time we created Mateo Rover, a tow trucker who just bought a used ship. Next we need to work out the details of that ship. Hub Creation Rover's hub (player base) will be a ship, The Kulakov. Defence Rating (DR):  11 Max Condition:  5 Frame Integrity:  100% Max Fuel:  6 Power Source:  Standard chemical engine (slow) Output Power:  3 Core Functions:  Bridge, mess, crew quarters, life support Modules:  None Background:  Unknown. No serial number. Fragmented log hidden deep in computer system. Quirks: Interior painted in luminous colours charged by UV light. The Kulakov has no weapons and only the most basic functions, not even a cargo bay. What's more, it needs repairs and fuel. Welcome to the Ring After reading the rulebook I realised the starter adventure, Welcome to the Ring , would be a perfect first adventure for Rover. It's very open ended and doesn't railroad players or push them to complete it in a certain way, so it wo...

Introduction I felt like starting a short-ish game of something totally different to DCC and BFRPG, the two games I've been playing recently. About two years ago I was in Forbidden Planet (London's geek megastore) with my wife and found they had Death in Space. I wasn't expecting to see it in physical form in a shop that only has a tiny section of RPG books, most of them D&D, and I showed her how nice the graphic design and layout was. Later that year I opened a surprise birthday present from her... Death in Space! I read through it but haven't play it yet. The rules are quite simple as characters have only a few attributes and for skill checks you just roll a D20 plus your appropriate attribute and aim for 12+ (sometimes you get advantage so can roll an extra die and take the best result). I also want to make use of Mythic GME 2nd Edition which I have in PDF form, so I'll be using that with it. Briefly then, Death in Space is set in the far future. The universe...

Introduction Happy new year! I wanted to post a really quick update to say I hope you all have a great year of solo and/or group roleplaying ahead of you. My life changed completely on 13 October last year when my daughter was born. My whole world has changed and my life has gone completely crazy in mostly good and some very minor bad ways. I don't have anywhere near as much free time as I used to which makes joining any kind of RPG group campaign seem impossible now, especially as I can get called away to do baby stuff without notice. Luckily though solo games can be left on the table for hours without keeping anyone else waiting. Over Christmas I did manage to play a two hour game of Four Against Darkness with my brother and his girlfriend, both avid roleplayers. We played until we killed our first boss, an orc brute who fell to my cleric's two exploding sixes. It was fun, and my brother came up with interesting ideas during the game. For example when we failed to open a puzz...
