JTAS Domestic Violence
I'm curious if anyone liked this adventure - it was a bit more of a "drop in encounter" than usual.

Re: JTAS Domestic Violence
I thought it was great. You've really been pushing the envelope on the subject matter lately. While it borders on uncomfortable, its also compelling.
I don't know if I'd use the adventure as written, however. I think I'd give my players a chance to save some of the victims. As is the setting is a little dark for my taste; I'd lift it by offering the players a slim chance of battling through to save people, somehow; without giving away the adventure to anyone here who hasn't read it yet. Then again the title doesn't pull punches either, so you know what you're getting into. |

Re: JTAS Domestic Violence
Hi,
I thought it was first class (and rated it as such). Not too dark at all - but then I find the Imperium a bit happy clappy as written in canon. My ISW stuff is rather grittier in tone. I loved it, and if I had anyone I could inflict it upon, I wouldn't hesitate to drop it into a campaign. More like this please! Malc |

Yep, it did turn out a little darker than I expected as well, but I felt the subject matter needed a somewhat serious treatment. The PCs can still save a lot of lives, though...

Re: JTAS Domestic Violence
Speaking of JTAS, when will we be able to purchase subscriptions again? e23 has listed JTAS as unavailable for purchase for some time now.

Re: JTAS Domestic Violence
Frankly, I found the short adventure to be fantastic. It could be used in almost any setting, by almost any starship crew (adjust some of the minor details if necessary), and creates an instant draw in its need to rescue innocents. I really felt the fear, desperation, and urgency of the adventure with its dual threat to loss of life. From the start of the scenario with the radio transmission to the various possible endings, it has all of the elements that I consider are necessary for a good game.
