One Page Adventure Jam 2023
The time is upon us, this year’s jam is just around the corner. This year the discussion around topic or theme takes us back to the roots of the novels. The announcement is imminent, details to follow.
Stealth ships and other missing deck plans
The number of deck plans available for players and GMs are considerable. The Ships of the Expanse (SoE) sourcebook provides a substantial amount and variation. However, as is inevitable, players and GMs want more. Not only that, we want them in high resolution for use with VTTs, and in print for use at the table.Continue reading “Stealth ships and other missing deck plans”
Community creations: immersive navigation and travelling
Fan made creations are an inevitable and essential feature of roleplaying games. Whether it’s fan made adventures, new player or game master resources, play aids and tools, or fan led live-play events and cons.

However, sometimes coming up with events on the fly can be challenging, and while we may plan ahead, sooner or later we will faceContinue reading “Churning out the churn”
What happens on Eros, better stay on Eros
“Eros: the faecal remnant of a once bright centre in the belt. Where Eros used to be a hub of culture, industry, and commerce, it is now a soiled casino rock that anyone with a modicum of common sense avoids, where the law is but a wishful ideal or a not-so-cherished memory, where middle-classers andContinue reading “What happens on Eros, better stay on Eros”
The second volume is here
Finally, after much tweaking and unwanted postponements, the collection of One Page Adventures from the 2022 Jam is edited, finalised, and published. The collection is smaller this time around, however, there was some more work on this volume due to the additions of planets and colonies the jam opened for, including choices made by theContinue reading “The second volume is here”
!…Incoming signal…!
Real-life threw a few curve balls, but finally some respite came my way. Work on the second volume of the one-page adventures collection is moving ahead, and today I uploaded an updated version of volume 1 to the adventures section. The updates are minor, only a few typos were corrected, and I updated the branding.Continue reading “!…Incoming signal…!”
