our band's been playing Realis most weeks since March, so thanks for this gift of a game!

right now we're thinking through an odd decision - are there Moon sentences when in inter-lunar space, most commonly when being carried by an Orphan Vessel?

our options seem to be, in order of how much GM & PC authorship each encourages, least to most:

  1. there are no Moon sentences when not on a specific moon
  2. there is a single set of Moon sentences applicable in all inter-lunar space
  3. each Orphan Vessel, in addition to having NPC sentences, also has unique moon sentences

leaning 2 but truly curious to hear if/how others have grappled with this call too, and I shall update if/when we come to a decision for our game!

I’ve traditionally run Orphan Vessels as NPCs, because I like to highlight their sentience and non-pliability in the story.

However, you’ve hit on two of the optional rules outlined in the back of the full book: Macromoons are larger regions of space the multiple moons exist inside of, and which layer on top of the interior moons. Micromoons are smaller (but important) areas that are are distinct enough to have their own sentences.
