Air Pirate Posted April 12, 2006 Report Share Posted April 12, 2006 Re: 600 Ton subsidized liner book ...didnt get paid for this beyond a comp copy Cool. thank's for the info. Got you own 600 ton liner now, eh? ... ARGH! THERE'S PIRATING TO BE DONE! Also, isn't 600 tons about the size of the ship Jack Denton and crew used to find Skull island? Now there's an idea for a one-shot adventure. Set course for the planet of the giant space apes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowcat1313 Posted April 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2006 Re: 600 Ton subsidized liner book Loren didnt use the other liner variant we used in an IRC traveller campaign. it was rebuilt as a jump capable stage/recording studio/concert hall, the campaign was based on an Amber Zone adventure called Road Show, where the characters were roadies for an amp rock band on tour, except for this campaign we were the band members hmmm... maybe I should write up our variation on the theme for a Star Hero adventure the band was called Tir an Nog or just "Tir" for short. and was billed as a neo-celtic heavy metal band we usually opened the show with Wipeout on the bagpipes, and ended with Stairway to Heaven, complete with an exploding haggis on stage the ship had its own hydrophonics lab... gotta grow your own party favors! the planetary customs folks just loved us! "We just have 200 kilos of Hiver Hash for personal consumption dude!" should I write this up or is it a wee bit over the top? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowcat1313 Posted April 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2006 Re: 600 Ton subsidized liner book I went digging on the X-Tek site and found the corporate press releases that were issued on the campaign http://www.geocities.com/cmdrx/xtek/index.html Harrys Angels along with being an female rock band were also ex imperial special forces troops who became corporate spokesmercs Harry himself was a retired Marine Cavalry Biker Scout/Commando Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlHazred Posted April 12, 2006 Report Share Posted April 12, 2006 Re: 600 Ton subsidized liner book I loved that old Amber Zone! A simple idea, with decent creativity behind it, and you had a whole campaign just fall out of the details. Easy to GM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
