    Lieutenant Cain, Corporal 'Murph' Murphy, PFC Gibson and the rest of their marine squad race back to base accompanied by Esther Skye, a Borgia Industries Rep. There's a UPP attack group in orbit and a general evacuation is in progress. When they are drawn into a fire-fight they also find evidence of 'something else'. Initially that 'something' costs them their APC and their Squad Synthetic but when they get back to their base 'something' is on the loose. There's evidence of horrific violence, difficult choices, and a possible route off planet ... before damaged containment tanks and competing objectives surface and it all goes to shit ...

    We meet Hawthorne, still cleaving to his homeworld's utopian ideals, but with his slightly dodgy history; Mel, a charismatic mercenary who originated in a star system of rocks with dangerously eccentric orbits that have driven her society into over-crowded bunkers; Dr Banner, born into a society that keeps its distance from the rest of the Cluster, who left when his natural talent led to a request he couldn't agree to; and Cage, the ship's Engineeer, brought up in an orbital around one of several uninhabitable 'demon worlds'.
    As they seek to fulfil a salvage contract Hawthorne's risk analysis proves 'unreliable' until he takes the ultimate risk and pulls it off, supported by Mel's no nonsense approach to a bunch of pirates. Meanwhile, Dr Banner's endless curiosity often puts him in difficulties until he spots the shortest route to their objective; and Cage is, often literally, the Crew's anchor ...

  • Silent Falls - The Haunted Roadside Diner

    Silent Falls - The Haunted Roadside Diner
    Sep 30 2025
    Ava the sceptic and Quincey the true believer drive into Silent Falls; one returning home to disprove the nonsense and the other going to a place they've never been to find proof.
    A sign near a field of corn is what they seek but they will be changed by what they find there...

    *****

    Everyone's heard at least one piece of urban folklore - the sharp bend in the road, the things that hide in the endless cornfields, the haunted bridges, the phantom hitchhikers.

    The Haunted Roadside Diner is about when the urban legend becomes horribly and uncomfortably adjacent. When the audience of a good old spooky story realises that what was propping up the entertainment value is the cheery reassurance that it won't happen to them.

    It is a GM-less TTRPG for 2-5 players in which you play a group of urban legend enthusiasts driving along a desolate stretch of highway in search of some supernatural excitement or uncanny anomaly.

    Will it ends in a cautionary tale about hubris? A vignette about humanity's brush with the unknowable? It is up to you.

    The Haunted Roadside Diner is by Yanahn and is available here https://yanahn.itch.io/the-haunted-roadside-diner

    Ultraviolet Grasslands session 33
    Sep 30 2025
    This week in the Ultraviolet Grasslands: the caravan crossed the Skybridge with a ghostly tollkeeper, dodged temporal tomb domes, felled a dire beaver, reached the Rose Towers, and watched their six-day cycle—until a scarlet four-armed giant awoke and asked Adoron, “Why are you here?”

    Sep 27 2025
    The Imperial Navy has been hot on your trail for weeks. The Pirate Kings of the Free Worlds want your head after you pulled off a heist that... ahem, relieved them of a sizable amount of treasure. You know you should feel worried, but all you see - looking out of the viewscreen of your starship - is the wonders of deep space. You can’t imagine feeling freer.

    Your crew might be a strange group—and you can’t say that you trust them completely—but at a moment’s notice, they’re ready to fly through dangerous House territories or scale a Tapani noble’s castle walls. Pirates, through and through. Each of them is ready for anything.

    And you’ve got secrets of your own! Perhaps you are an escaped noble, fleeing from the burden of responsibilities. Or maybe a mechanical construct, given life by a cruel master. Either way, it’s fair to say that the night-black void orb you acquired at the last port may have an effect on your health.

    No matter. There are adventures to be had and treasure to plunder. Fly on, me ‘earties! Yo ho!
