But will bump your thread with the following:In my Classic Traveller game, which we haven't played for a little while but is open to being revived should the group want to, the PCs are in their space ships in the Novus system, ready to go to a gas giant moon to learn why it was the focus of attention of a psionically-inclined civilisation about two billion years ago. One of the PCs' ships - the research vessel St Christopher - is wanted for running an Imperial blockade. The Imperial Naval vessel the Iota is in pursuit of it, and was last known to be on a world Jump-3 away from Novus. Somewhere behind the Iota is a larger Imperial armada, also pursuing the St Christopher. The Iota is somewhat "rogue", and so it is not out of the question that it could be turned against its Naval allies. The presumed motivation of the Imperial armada is to destroy all knowledge of and connection to psionic aliens, which would include destroying the PCs (who includes some psionicists and have aliens (in fact, Aliens (TM))on board the St Christopher), and also destroying or at least capturing their other vessel, the Annic Nova, which was created by the aliens two billion years ago and is at least to a degree controlled by way of psionic attunement.In my Torchbearer game, which is our currently active game, the last session resolved blood operatically, with two key NPCs dead. So the PCs have no immediate enemies in the village they are in, other than a barrow wight in a dungeon complex whom they are not ready to confront. The PCs may want to instead travel south to find and confront the bandit captain Turner - in part to steal his boots, as they are lacking in footwear; but also because Turner seems to have some connection to the bandit lord Nob H, who is the enemy of one of the PCs (as per that PC's backstory) for reasons that have not yet been made clear.</blockquote>
