I am pleased to announce that "Survey and Explore" is now available for "Starport Scum".

Land on any uncharted world, explore the wilderness and see what you come up with.

This expansion uses random tables for scenery, sights to see and encounters to be had and can be used to fill in a travel-session in any campaign or as a mini-game in its own right.

Well suited for use with pretty much any scifi rules, in case you want your Laserburn or 5150 characters to earn some creds surveying an uncharted world.

(and before anyone asks what a hex-crawl is)

"Hex-crawling" is a game style associated with old D&D where you explore a region of the world either on a prepared map or, occasionally, by rolling the terrain as you go.

As you travel, you use random tables to generate encounters and interesting things to see, unless you either find something that triggers a gaming session, find the location the GM had prepared or you can use it as a game in its own right.
