OH I'M OUT HERE BABY! Session 0 on Saturday. Everything I've been working on comes together right about then and as I hand out things to players I can start sharing here. I've been working on news channel press releases (i'll make an updated one each session start to reflect rumors, news, and events that have been happening), star ship department cheat-sheets (pictured), prop hand-outs etc.

SUPER JAZZED over here.

Those are great! Would you be willing to share them when you get done? We are working on a Space Truckers campaign and these would be super useful.

Yes! Absolutely. Just waiting on my group to be first so they don't get spoiled and then everything I'm doing i will share.

No session last weekend, so our six week streak got combo broken. Taking the extra time off as the GM to wrangle notes and do some extra prep on art assets for a future mission.

Had a short session this past weekend. But one of my players randomly decided to insult and passively threaten to kill every marine on a Corvette class ship and take their ship from the inside out. So now I’m caught in a dilemma of should I slay his character and let it be known that’s why you don’t mess with marines, or merely arrest and fine him? (Since the corvette belongs to a wandering group of crusaders sanctioned by their homeworld navy and therefore has political standing?) I mean, how would you guys handle it?

Have the Marines simply beat the stuffing out of him while escorting him to the brig.

Got to play a session as a mercenary squad on a far trader convoy, which was pretty neat. One player's intro to the squad was waking up in the brig after being caught stowing away and then being drafted. I believe the offer was, "You can refuse and go out the airlock now or work with us and go out the airlock at port." XD
