Isso impacta grandes produções. Me parece justo, publicações menores não merecem ficar esperando os auditores se liberar das maiores porque o prazo é igual pra todas.
O que eu acho errado é fazer isso por páginas. Tem páginas de todos os tamanhos. O que cabe em 200 A5 cabe em 100 A4. Dava pra fazer por área (m²) - exige matemática de quarta série, mas acho que vale a pena.
Lê a matéria, vai.
It's lifted straight up from the source material. As far as seventies series go, S: 1999 took itself quite seriously, in a good way. It's still sort of zany and the science isn't there in the plot, but the models and the casting more than make up for it.
Thank you and welcome!
This looks real cool!
I got sidetracked for a while, but here are some answers from that chat:
Ideally you just swap planets. Whatever you have set up for them on planet one is now surprise on planet two.
[in response to the above] This is the default solution for story focused games. The story continues to the next act, the players dictate how.
“I hadn’t thought of that! I don’t have anything prepared. Why don’t we just pause things here for now and chat. I’ll have it ready next time.”
I guess the question is how far off the path? Jump 1 away or Jump 6? GM completely unprepared? Or not as prepared as you’d like? As a Traveller GM I’ve got
- The notes for every planet and system within range of the PCs ship x2. I.e. for J2 every system within 4 parsecs.
- A list of 100+ random NPC names
- A couple sentences about each system
- Same for the two to five largest factions in my setting
So if the PCs wander I’ve usually got enough material for one night’s worth of material
An easy delay is simply to go into more detail. For example, have them go through the steps of Customs at the new starport, or notice something interesting about another ship, etc. It adds texture to the game, is interesting, and gives you the extra time to prep.
For my group (not sure if it will work for every group) i just leveraged their completionist mindsets. I told them "here are 15 jobs" and the first thing they did was plot an exact course to hit all of them, so they prevented themselves from wandering.
The last one is my favorite of this bunch, because as a player I'd fall for that hook, line, and sinker.
Thank you everyone for participating!
Oh my, i can totally see that show as people playing Star Trek!
Thanks, it makes sense. I really like the cockpit console feel of it all. A+!
I’m not familiar with the position map of CD, what do the numbers mean? Result on a 1D roll?
Have it be modular, so you can build platoons of armored soldiers. An long range comms/EW module, a belt fed grenade module, a heavy weapons ammo/power supply module, zero G jetpack module, etc.
