Something a little different for this post; a session log from a brief solitaire expedition that I ran tonight with Charlie Roxx, Boogatti, and Professor Dogface.
There’s a lot of ‘blank hexes’ to the south of Lau. It seems doubtful that these would remain unexplored for long unless there was a compelling reason to avoid them. (The truth is that no players has ever expressed an interest in exploring this region.) To remedy this, I took three PCs who have been more-or-less ‘abandoned’ by their players, and sent them to check things out.
I was also trying to figure out why all my playtest characters end up as mutated freaks, while the PCs in my recent sessions have remained pure and uncontaminated. I made sure to equip each character with a new rad tab before setting out, to give them some hope of avoiding Creep if caught by surprise.
Executive Summary: Some hexes got explored, some characters got mutated, and I figured out that I’ve been too kind to recent parties because of their damned Geiger counter.
