Seek the Wolf in Thyself!
I am currently writing up a complete region of space to use in this campaign. Relatively original, I am probably going to use some incluences from various sources like Shatterzone, Traveller and the like. I am leaning towards bringing in the 2300 AD nemesis Kaifer at some point but right now, I am just trying…
The Last Warhulk The Start of The Last WArhulk. After retrieving the Peace program from hidden places on Lighthouse and rescuing the Starmech agent, the party embarks on a mission to stop a AI sentient war relic from reeking havoc on the Verge.

A combination of Earth’s mass reactor and the Fraal’s gravitic technology gave birth to the means of “beaking” space so ships can “fall” across light years,entering into what is called drivespace. The first stardrive was activated in 2160. Communication through drivespace…
Climbing This is the skill to scale various surfaces. Difficulties for this skill are included in the “Movement” chapter. Note that taking care in climbing and carrying 50% or more of the character’s body weight slows the character down by two meters or more per round. Conditions that affect the roll may be taking care…

The character may add one-half (rounded up) of the difference between the successful stamina roll and the difficulty. The strenuous activity still receives the fatigue…
