Not quite what I expected.
Really expected more rules, some mechanics and like roll lists to come up with a spaceship and what has happened to it, and it’s journey across multiple owners. Maybe some direct inspirations on the looks of it. Basically a little bit of a “toolkit”.
Instead this is really just a couple of prompts and meditation… ideas. Which just really not what I expected or I’m really that interested in.
It’s like, the page on the captain says “what kind of person could have been the previous owner? Perhaps a mercenary? What could that owner have been like?” and I’m sitting here and going… well I don’t know. That’s why I’m here. I hoped this would help me come up with answers for it, maybe give me some more concrete ideas. Have me roll on a tables, and then challenge myself to use and work around these “limitations” the RNGods “forced” upon me as anchors to build upon and work around.
I want to make clear, this is fundamentally just a mismatch of expectations. I think for some folks some sort of meditation prompts can be really insightful or helpful or relaxing. It’s just not for me.
But it did make me think, and made me wonder if I shouldn’t make and write myself the thing I expected and was looking for. And hey… it inspired me to work on my own thing. That’s worth something.
