Safe for the campaign FTL--Coventry or Rustic!

[YankeeGamer]

GM's like to do different things.
MANY PC's like/want space ships.
No one wants to destroy the campaign world (Depending on the PC's, this may not be true...)
If there's a desire to tinker slightly with FTL, then have spacefarers arrive in orbit, and initiate some form of first contact, be that orbital bombardment, careful signalling, a hail in plain English, or Gaelic, or whatever, or even landing right in front of a major facility.

Since the only way to get to Coventry's worldline is with a projector-assisted conveyor, the aliens (or human starfarerers) won't be exploring the Infinite Worlds beyond Earth.

Since the stardrive won't work elsewhere, Infinity won't be exploring the Infinite Galaxies, either.

An alternate safe place for weird FTL would be Rustic, with "The Road Not Taken) by Turtledove as the FTL society. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Ro...n_(short_story)

You'd need to assume that that FTL doesn't work, either...

There's links to the actual story, but post them, I won't, as I'm not sure if they're legal.

If FTL is discovered anywhere, then thre will, of course, be a rush to test it out elsewhere as well, hoping to find one where it works.

Note: "Safe for the campaign" is a hope, not a certainty, PC's will break anything--even faster than kittens playing.
