Yeah, a good session with Doc will require an extended rest and recover period I'm thinking.
Good to have you aboard Bro.
Does he need any limbs or organs replaced? Doc is starting to feel a little out of practice...

If the rumors are true then he could use some 'augmentation' to his ... um ... 'male parts.'
Doc will probably start thinking about replacing some of his parts once Elroy starts pestering him about his religious beliefs.... Does Doc believe that god is a cyborg?

Today I received my first copy of the back issues of the Journal of the Travellers' Aid Society that I ordered on ebay! It's full of adventures, too, but the one that I just read is only so-so in quality. In fact, that one is more like a scenario for Top Secret or something. (And I haven't played Top Secret since the early- to mid-1980's!)

You've all doubtless realized by now that there is no map for this encounter. There are several reasons for that. Ummm, I guess I should mention a few of them, shouldn't I? First is the nature of operating in space. In a 'dungeon,' a 2-dimensional diagram serves pretty well, since you don't have much variance along the z axis ordinarily. In space, that convention flies right out the window. Second is scale: to have a meaningful map that will serve for more than a few seconds, the ships would need to be prohibitively small to be to scale. (Say, 2-3 pixels across, maybe?) Anyway, the way I would prefer to handle it is for the players to tell me what heroic, amazing maneuvers they wish to execute, including the hoped for response of the enemy ship(s). Appropriate skill checks will be made for both sides, and I'll let you know how close to your ideal result you were able to get. This system may not work any better than the other, but can we give it a try and see how it goes? If it's a total bust, then I'll be open to suggestions for future ship-board encounters.
