Grab Bag for January 6, 2022

Scopique January 6, 2022

Horizon: Zero Done As Seen On Twitter(tm) yesterday, I have finally finished Horizon: Zero Dawn. I had played it day-one on the PS4 but as with almost anything console I struggled with the situational interest. Fast forward several years, and the Epic…

Ends and Means – Session #1, April 28, 2021 #StarTrekAdventures

Scopique April 29, 2021

After several weeks of uneventful service following the successful mission to Angstrom Base to recover the notes on the Stellar Inverter, the crew of the USS Edmund Fitzgerald received a new assignment. They were to re-route to the planet Tolen IV where…

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 – Authentication and Portraits

Scopique March 1, 2021

Man, sometimes things are way more difficult than they should be. Exhibit A: “dropping in” Firebase Authentication and Firebase Storage. I freely admit that my development style is unfortunately guerilla: I’ll go searching for ways to accomplish what I need, add it…

The (Latest) Project, Revealed

Scopique February 23, 2021

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…

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.…

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…
