    Elves and Trolls, part 2

    The way forward leads down. Below the old temple lies a vast system of caverns and that is where you must go—into the dark, if there is ever any hope of seeing the light again. The tunnels stretch beneath the forest and you are sure to encounter both elf and troll. Tread carefully, my friends.

    Elves and Trolls, part 1

    Weary after several days of travel you find yourselves at the Happy Wheel tavern, where an old man serves you bowls of hot stew and a tale of woe. Many are the locals who have been kidnapped by cultists hiding in an old temple thought abandoned. It lies in the forest north of here—a forest

    The Ghost of Yuletide Past

    This adventure tidbit is great if you have no time to prep at all. Simply pull up an adventure you have already played, preferably one that went rather badly. One or multiple player(s) have been cursed, and on a stormy winter’s night they are woken up by the ghost of Yuletide past. Disconcerting to say

    Dumping Dragon

    A dragon is terrorizing the kingdom, but the problem isn’t exactly what you’d expect. In fact, what one man would consider shit is another man’s treasure. This is especially true for one remote village, where a dragon is taking dumps from on up high. No one knows why, but it’s consistent and has transformed the

    Day 182, Year 1

    It’s been a while since I did one of these. We’re at a constant 0.1g acceleration now. Nowhere near what I was hoping for, but 14 years to AC isn’t too shabby considering we have engines from a different fucking ship. The days have started to blur together. Nothing happens. There is nothing left to

    Day 45, Year 1

    Got a lot of time on my hands now. There’s not much to do but stare at space and blast my dad’s trash metal into the great beyond. Me and Al have instituted chili Tuesdays. It’s a shitshow and I’m still not completely sure what’s in the chili, but I love it. I didn’t defrost

    For All the Bards

    Bards are disappearing all over the region, one by one. While most would call this a blessing, someone will eventually pay to have it investigated. The players can learn about this farce in multiple ways, ranging from subtle hints to what even the ones barely present at the session should notice: The first order of

    Day 27, Year 1

    The burn was successful, so there’s that, but it’s not smooth sailing yet. I don’t want to lose an engine, or have another meltdown, so I’m slowly dialing up the acceleration. If I can get to a quarter or even third of the speed this ship was designed for, we should be able to get

    Day 11, Year 1

    I wrapped up the new—old engines faster than I thought. Been running checks for the last few hours and most systems show nominal, or at least within acceptable range. Guess I’m just that good. I’m also scared shitless, talking to a computer, and boasting to cope. Now that imminent death is no longer on the
