AdventureCo – The Continuing Mission

Scopique March 11, 2021

Last night AdventureCo met online and discussed our next move. It was agreed that we would continue with Star Trek Adventures for a few reasons. First, this group likes Star Trek as a property. Second, everyone has gotten the rules more or…

AdventureCo – SPF 10,000

Scopique March 4, 2021

Last week (actually, about three weeks ago), the Away Team had found themselves in a bit of a pickle: the windows in the command center were dangerously close to breaking and a decompression event was immanent. The team raced back to V’Tol’s…

Adventure Outliner – Registration

Scopique February 25, 2021

This is now an actual, “working” website. Working is in quotes because A) it’s not a complete website, and B) nothing really works except the link to HOME and the link to LOGIN. Everything else is basically static with the idea that…

The (Latest) Project, Revealed

Scopique February 23, 2021

Usually when I get to the point where I give into the desire to talk about a project I know for a fact that I’m dooming it to abandonment. This has been my M.O. for so long that I can set a…

AdventureCo – Squishy Pancakes

Scopique February 11, 2021

GM’s Log, Stardate 98712.94. Angstrom Base has been compromised by what appears to be a newly discovered and invasive species. Initial analysis indicates that this single-celled parasite is not native to Dran’Ankos, though its presence has devastated this research post. The Away…

Waiting for the Next Big Thing Might Not Be The Issue

Scopique February 9, 2021

I read an article at PCGamer entitled “I’m tired of waiting for the next big MMO” and it hit me hard because in reading the article I realized that the man the author was talking about used to be me. I used…

AdventureCo – These Are The Voyages of the Starship Edmund Fitzgerald

Scopique February 4, 2021

GM’s Log, Stardate 98608.9. We have been patrolling the Cardassian Demilitarized Zone for several weeks now with no incidents to speak of. We have, however, gained a shadow in the form of two Galor-class cruisers on the Cardassian side of the divide.…

Hey, HOSAS – Hands On Stick and Stick for Space Sims

Scopique January 31, 2021

I’ve been meting this out on Twitter, but I am at a point now where this subject deserves it’s own post. Last week — on my birthday, no less — my trusty Saitek/Logitech X-52Pro died. I had just reinstalled Elite Dangerous, as…

AdventureCo – Learning to Crawl

Scopique January 21, 2021

Last night we had a kind of “session 0”, since the previous week is what I’m calling “session -1”. This week the crew translated their online-generated characters into Roll20 character sheets but the output of the character generation site did a lot…

AdventureCo – Boldly Going

Scopique January 14, 2021

Last night we had our “session -1” to hash out a few pre-session 0 things. We hadn’t formally opted for a game system, for one. Call of Cthulhu was the initial front-runner (with a solid vote of 1, and a “sounds good”…
