I know Dark Stars Jeff is done with Ember expanse, but I wrote this prompt in my sleep to myself.

“Museum of silence

Two factions

One misunderstands and worships it, believing it to be something it isn’t. Historical society . (Silent hill 2?)
What kind of artifacts?

Another that opposes?? Fears.”

I’m not even sure what that means. I picture just a museum of old things that we aren’t really sure what they do anymore and the theory for how it was used was wrong or off beat. Example: “this funny container you hold was filled with a dark liquid that refilled meta dimensional energy” (coffee)

I thought a museum dedicated to misunderstanding the scream would be kind of cool. And feel free to use it in your own game if I get a lot of comments.

The frequencies are open. Whether you're a veteran pilot or just getting your bearings, this is your weekly space to break radio silence.

What's happening in your sector? New sessions, prep wins, cursed dice, dumb plans that somehow worked. And it doesn't have to stop at the table. Job news, personal wins, rough weeks, whatever's actually going on with you lately is welcome too. Drop a quick ping and let us know.

No need for a long write-up. A quick transmission from your table, or your life, to ours is plenty.

Mod Note: If you're new here, welcome. This started as a low-pressure thread for SWN stories, and lately it's turned into more of a check-in with each other. Both are welcome here. Share as much or as little as you want.

I've finally reached the point in the rules for Sector Creation, and I'm creating my first sector! Sector creation, however, is alot of information to collate, with 21-30 systems, let alone planets if you do more than one per system. So how do you all organize?

Yes, I know I can use internet technology but I am at a point in my life where, more and more, I'm rejecting the offerings of this putrid and dying, AI riddled internet. Things like World Anvil or Notion (what I've used in the past) I don't want to rely on for my campaigns anymore. My initial thoughts was to borrow from Mothership's advice and get a notebook, dedicating whole pages to the systems I've rolled and maybe use these SWN PDFs I found on DriveThru for cataloging.

Would love to hear other suggestions and ideas!

I'm fascinated by the starship-building aspect of the game. Since the ship is such a huge aspect of the gameplay, it's a character in and of itself. What are you working with? what's it's backstory?

Hello again,

The title says it all for this one, folks. As a fun post to share ideas with each other, tell us some interesting examples of alien wildlife found in your sectors! Be they cute little pets or lurking scavengers or rampaging apex predators, feel free to share whatever comes to mind!

I’m going to run a SWN game at a store on Sunday, and I’m trying to figure out what to run.

I want to run it in my “off brand Star Wars” setting. It’s got a bad guys empire and some good guys standing up to them, etc. I was thinking about reworking an old d6 Star Wars adventure, but maybe I’m overthinking it?

It’s just a one shot game with some very new players, so I don’t have time for anything complicated in terms of what we’re going to be able to accomplish.

What works best for a SWN one shot?

For the setting: yes, I have a solution for lightsabers: I Homebrew’d a Jedi partial class a while back, and I was told by people here how to make it not broken, essentially, thanks for that. It’s inspired by the space monks with laser swords by Kevin, but different.
