XPiratez / The most unusual moments at your campaigns

« on: February 27, 2017, 02:56:53 pm »

At 4x strategy forums participants often lays out AAR (After Action Reports). I propose to organise something similar here, at this thread, but in brief form.

So... the unusual moments, which I memorized for a long time.

1. Unexpected creepy
It happened when jetbike chased one small ship, which subsequently makes landing in the desert. Imagine my astonishment when the seizure mission began: the ship was full of... zombies. As for me, a scene for a horror movie. However, the source of zombies shows up quickly, so my surprise did not lasts long. Of course it was a Cryssalid. But... wait... what he did on the ship all that time? Who ever guessed to take hostile Cryssalid on board?

2. The hunt on giant spiders turned into a civilians rescue mission. LITERALLY: when the mission began, at the site already been ... neutral civilians, which the girls had to rescue.

And what memorable for you?

XPiratez / City Life

« on: February 25, 2017, 10:44:15 am »

Hello all. I am interested to understand the intricacies of setting, so I have some questions.

1. Please compare city names with their real prototypes. Is it correct that Traitor's Gate is D.C.? And what about India (especially Forbidden Caves)?

2. Why the names of the cities exactly as it is? What motivated the author to call them this way? Interesting as the view of the Dioxine, as well as the community. I understand that Boneyard is hommage to fallout series, but what about Tower of Souls or Halls of Madness?

3. To be honest, I can not imagine the everyday life of the inhabitants of city, named like Halls of Madness. Have you ever thought about something similar? It would be interesting to know your opinion about such aspects of setting.

PS: Sorry for my broken english.
