It is a pleasure to present the Tycho Trilogy by Richard Kirke.
The three adventures were originally sessions of The Expanse RPG that Richard ran with his online group during the Covid lockdown in 2020.
First uploaded to the Facebook community back in 2020, this PDF collects all three adventures in one file, and comes with a package of handouts, and NPC and starship profiles in handy image files to print or use in your VTT of choice.
As per normal, the PDF comes in three versions, a large full-colour and high-quality one, a smaller colour version, and a printer-friendly version. Handouts and stats while in the PDF, also come in this separate ZIP-file.
You also find it together with several other adventures in the Adventures section.
Is there a list anywhere of a suggested play ordrr of all the official and fan made adventures?

That’s a good question. Over on the Facebook community you can find some suggestions about the order of the official adventures. For this trilogy, it provides some suggestions about the order of theses adventures and their relationship to the official adventures they tie into. As the official adventures are standalone you can fit them together as you see fit, what makes sense. Many groups start with Cupbearer (the quickstart), then go to Ganymede Insurance Job or To Sleep, Perchance to Dream (or the other way around), slipping Salvage Op in between if appropriate, then moving on to other stories and then on to Abzu’s Bounty.

I’m putting Seeds Of Opportunity in the FN era. It seems like a great FN mission as they would need seeds to start their own agricultural production.
