This weekend at
Shore Leave was awesome! There was a lot of interest in Solar Echoes,
and never a shortage of players. I ran games from 10am until 1am on
Saturday, and some of the same players as well as new players played
Sunday morning and afternoon. It was a dynamic group of people, some
who were veteran table-top RPG gamers and others who were trying it
for the first time, ranging in age from as young as 13 up to the
mid-twenties. This week I'll be sharing some of the highlights of the
missions we experienced together, and I'll begin with a new player's
clever manipulations: She was playing a Reln—an alien race known
for their diplomatic/con-artist wordsmithing skills—and she had
chosen the “good looking” feature for her character's physique.
Her Reln saw that there was a lookout posted outside of an apartment
the team needed to infiltrate, so she approached him flirtatiously.
He was seduced by her feminine charm and lured away from his post to
meet his untimely death under a nearby tree, the very tree where he
had hoped to plant a kiss. It wouldn't be the last time her beauty
and charm influenced the minds of those around her!
As seven alien races struggle to co-exist in an uneasy alliance, the Inter-Stellar Union sends Union Guard agents on missions to preserve the crucial balance. These specialized operatives must do what regional security cannot, dealing with smugglers, pirates, terrorists, and even greater challenges in order to bring stability to a universe that needs it desperately. Without the Union Guard, the races will not be prepared to face a looming alien threat they can only hope to defeat together.
