Nah, they are so many options that scale exponentially it becomes really hard to prepare challenges, without utterly shutting down the PCs.
Hopefully the book finds a nice balance.

You don't shut them down, you make their capabilities integral. Teleportation isn't a problem, it's required

What is that art from? It looks way too good to be associated with any 5E WOTC product.

the art shows her arms and hands free…the tatto is visible if the players notice it. I could see a good Dm doing the finger trip tracing thing as a visual clue to see if the players pick up on it.

I do like the Suspicion subsystem that is being introduced in this.

I was thinking an AD&D 2e cover to something but I’m curious as well what it’s from.

Some of it is just bizarre like the level of detail on Prisoner 13's badass tats, most of which would be absolutely never be visible to PCs, because it even specifies that she's fully clothed when the PCs meet her.

I'm still wondering HOW anybody would know about the Hip Tattoo details since she's not wearing short shorts or the fact that there's no obligatory prison shower scene.

Logically speaking, you are correct, but for the purposes of adventure I want all layouts to be like the interior of the starship NSEA Protector in the film Galaxy Quest.

such a great movie.

It's the cover "Tales of Enchantment" a 2nd Edition product artist is Glen Orbik, published back in '93 hence the rather dated boob plate, but a decent artist.

I thought it was a 2e product cover!

Damnit. Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in.
