From the Journal of Zachariah Popper Ambivalence, eh? We all saw the footage that was broadcast. We all shared the revulsion at what Brocero had done. We all watched the security camera’s while Foxx and there friends chased after Brocero and his cronies, fought the android and were “taken into...

We slept heavily, or at least I did. It had been hard work riding and I was glad of something soft to sit on, never mind a bed to sleep in. The five of us ate from a buffet and as we discussed plans Oran’s comm rang. It was Dr. Danvier. She wanted us to fly out to some mountain range and repair...

We had loads of fun playing through all of this. At certain points the DM called on us to play NPCs briefly. We each took turns rolling the dice for Miskom in his duel against L'Orca, for instance. Noah's player was running Karl when he killed Miskom. I was running Miskom. "Ok, Ptolemy, you're...

One unexpected consequence of the rescue was that Foxx was asked to give Karl’s presentation at the Gala. He was due to speak for the small traders association. This made everything much easier. Foxx called Paulette again to tell her about the change. We now knew how we could get the video about...

I was pretty relieved when we came out of jump space. We were close to our desired coordinates and almost immediately new mail flashed up. Less of the sarcasm, please. Do you want to hear the rest of the story or what? The first was from Karl who said that someone called L’Orca was in town and...

It did cross my mind to go for the reward money. But I think we are glad we didn't, eh?

We arrived at the Trade Bridge, as it is called. The Trade Bridge is the main point of contact between the locals and estate of Sir Tayce Gazishpa, imperial knight of Pyramus. The river marks the eastern border of her lands and the bridge, the Trade Bridge, is where locals bring the food and...

Pyramus 188-1081 We woke early and set off at dawn. Most of us were new riders and there aren’t any roads so 5 or 6 kilometres an hour is as good as we can expect. We rode south, arse protesting after the first hour so. The plan is to head south, loop west to the river where we will turn north...

Venice and Thainer were useful cover at New Rome as we offered to escort them to the University. Naturally, we wanted to pay Popel a visit and we wanted to interview Jaspin Mectol, Tarim Pinoir’s roommate, if we could. We dropped off the mother and daughter and found Tarim’s room on campus...

Our new passengers consisted of two “bounty hunters”, Wol and Domir, and a zero-G/vacc. suit instructor, Mennol Sinar. We didn’t take on any more cargo at Egypt and wanted to get going as soon as possible. As usual, I took the helm and Fox plotted the cause. I guided us out of Nút station and...

Kinda nice to see Mongoose_Mat over here!

Are there Dragonquest players out there? If so, which of the Colleges of magic do you think it the best, and why? I would include the alternative Greater Summoning

I’m getting to that! Seriously. As you can imagine, the flight to Nút space station was somber. Fox got to work cleaning up the media we had picked up and I guided us in. Things were not at all good on Nút. We ran straight into an industrial dispute. Hey yeah, you know us too well and yeah I...

The Adventures of Polybius Comnenus Part III Pyramus 182-1081 Things took a turn for the better after Gorram. It had been hard, dangerous work but we had enjoyed our time working as a S&R team. By the time we got back to Lunion Sir Paul Ramaeda had put in a word for us with the Navy. The...

Yeah, the very suggestion is outrageous. It would be hilarious to see someone try this.
