 |
Strap in and prepare for lift off¸ with the first adventure compendium of Daring Tales of the Space Lanes!
Triple Ace Games presents five epic space adventures where fighting evil crimelords¸ dodging bounty hunters¸ and evading asteroids while blasting at enemy fighters is all part of a day's work.
Waylaid on Wayland: When a senior political figure offered the heroes a tidy sum to deliver a small package it seemed like easy money¸ but that was before people started trying to kill them. What begins as a simple cargo run quickly has the heroes involved in a running battle over who gets to control a powerful political organization on the industrial world of Wayland. Trash incinerators¸ acid rain¸ high speed chases through chimney stacks¸ and a showdown where the scenery is just as dangerous as the opposition await!
Gunboat Diplomacy: Sure¸ helping a guy being blasted at by an armored goon was the right thing to do¸ but it's embroiled the characters in the start of a potentially nasty situation. When an entire space navy is trying to kill you¸ you know it's not a good day to take to the stars! Space Dangers: A special appendix detailing numerous space hazards you can throw into your own space tales. From asteroids to gravity wells to wormholes¸ that cargo run just got a whole lot more dangerous.
Bad Debts: Life in the spacelanes is hard¸ and spacers have to go where the money is. In this case¸ that means tracking down the kidnapped daughter of a senior member of the powerful Galactic Trade Assembly. From the explosive energy crystal world of Kerexi IV to the gas processing spacestation known as Dante and onward to a secret starship controlled by a powerful criminal fraternity¸ the heroes are plagued by vicious bounty hunters led by the ruthless and cunning Pandit Morg¸ an alien psion armed with a very deadly weapon!
Robot Rumble: When your trip to Lux III hits "difficulties" your patron suggests a way you can repay him and avoid his lawyers. It's a simple enough task¸ on the surface; all you have to do is infiltrate a criminal gang¸ discover who their boss is¸ and put him out of business. But there's a drawback¸ and it's a big one. The gang operates in Tin Town¸a robots-only slum¸ and fleshies just aren't welcome there. But fear not¸ for your patron has a solution; you're going to enter Tin Town disguised as robots!
The Last Journey of the Exodus: A man condemned to a terrible fate for his crimes possesses a long forgotten secret: to repay the heroes for an act of kindness¸ he reveals to them the location of the Exodus¸ one of the legendary "Lost Ships" with which the Human race began the colonization of the universe thousands of years ago. But strange things¸ a ruthless madman¸ and a race against time await the heroes within the hull of the ancient ship.
