The community has been at it again. Here’s something new to use in your games. The Churn is a great mechanic that appropriately sets the tone for telling Expanse stories together. 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”

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”

I joined Ian Lemke, John Bultena, and Troy Hewitt in a great conversation about the Expanse RPG, one-page adventures, and the jam the Facebook community has organised over the last two years (now alsoContinue reading “ThursdAGE and the Expanse RPG Fan Community”
Tactical space combat
I have uploaded tactical space combat maps to the resources section, one for use with VTTs and one for printing and use at the table. They are both in A3 format for simplicity. This also means that is perfectly downscales to A4 if you need or want to have a smaller map on the table.Continue reading “Tactical space combat”
Labrea update
I have updated the Labrea deck plans. I am now moving on to the Maynard-class modified freighter from the Bounty Hunter supplement. This is a larger ship, so it may take some more time.
Analogs or aliens
For participants in the one page adventure jam 2022, a central part of the event is to create new alien planets. With this follows the potential for life. What does this life look like? How different or similar to Earth life is it likely to be? The video below is pretty neat and covers someContinue reading “Analogs or aliens”
Updated deck plans
The Labrea-class deck plans have been updated with correct ppi, as well as some minor aesthetic improvements. You can find them here.
