[Ulsyus]

Nice. Flowing creativity.

Watcha gonna do with it?

 

[Enoff]

like the music

 

[LarryBReese]

Not looking for PBEM or PBP player are you?

Like the detailed lay out.

The detail is part of an encounter generator I was working on last night, that's a quick less than 1 second worth of output...

Jump into a Spinward Marches system and find starships that are not Imperial, Zhodani, or local navy warships. What are they???...

This handy list featuring social organizations and simple descriptions will liven up any Spinward Marches Campaign... For Example:

Dar Radi Council - Trade Organization - Receiving a robot

This would be a starship on station to intercept a robot that is scheduled to dock with the ship. What is the robot, What does it do?

University of McClachan Foundation - Servicing another vessel

Now the GM will need to roll another Starship. What happened, breakdown? Scheduled Maintenance. Is this a crew transfer?

The Organization - Landing

Landing would generally refer to a planetary landing on the main planet/settlement in system unless otherwise specified. Plenty of opportunity here, for interesting things to happen to other ships...

Captain Mal Reynolds
"...What was that?"

Hoban Washburn
"Did you see that?"

Captain Mal Reynolds
"Was that the primary buffer panel?...."

Hoban Washburn
"...It did seem to..."

Captain Mal Reynolds
"DID THE PRIMARY BUFFER PANEL JUST FALL OFF?"

Hoban Washburn
"...LOOKS LIKE!"

Captain Mal Reynolds
"I thought Cailey just checked the gantry belts..."

Hoban Washburn
...Unless we get some extra flow from the engine room to offset the burn through, thing are going to get very interesting...

Captain Mal Reynolds
"Define Interesting!"

Hoban Washburn
...OH GOD, OH GOD, WE ARE ALL GOING TO DIE!"

Captain Mal Reynolds
Gets on the Intercom
"This is the Captain, we are having a little problem with our entry sequence so we may experience some slight turbulence... ...and explode."​

... or might just be another routine landing...


The Sharda Administration of Trade - Delivering Currency

...mmm a starship loaded with currency

University of Carta Foundation - Servicing another vessel

Another breakdown in space... roll up the vessel being serviced

NPC Criminal - Spying

Probably not on the players, but one never knows...


Stelles Band Gang - Delivering Rare Metals

Rogues delivering rare Metals... To Whom?


Ruby Marauders - Drafting

A mercenary outfit closely shadows the players, are they about to attack/, or are they using the players as a screen?

University of Catbrodie Foundation - Delivering Messages

50/50 chance it for the players, otherwise roll up another ship with a patron whose message just happens to get intercepted by the players...

Great True Rats Mercenary Company - Launching a small craft

Recon Training? Zero-G Combat Training? Prepping for a mission...
...and so on.

Carutha Raiders - Spying[/I]

Mercenaries looking to obtain some new information

I would love to use the list for inspiration for news articles and rumors, but after an awkward episode some time ago I've grown reluctant to use anything not expressly part of the official TU.
