The deadline for 2025 One-Page Adventure Jam "Echoes of the Builders" has come and gone. Six submissions this year, from puzzles to potential planetary doom, the dangers of human curiosity, altered minds, and moral choices. The voting has started on Facebook. In about a week we should know the winner and soon thereafter some dates will be decided for the live-stream of the winning submission.

Some of the content of this post was originally posted with the spaceship collection update, Here they are again, together with some more untested ideas. Ship Qualities The Couple Reactor and Parallel Reactor qualities do the same thing in different ways. I'd suggest you to choose one to test in your game. I prefer the Parallel Reactors for gameplay reasons, but I can see arguments for preferring "Coupled Reactor".

Whether your players' characters are merchants, smugglers, mercenaries, pirates, marines, scientists, or miners, they all share in largely being subservient to some political, ideological, or corporate superiors. Marines of the MCRN protect scientists on missions to the various new worlds beyond the rings, the scientists in turn serve both political endeavours as well as the free curiosity-driven research. UN ambassadors have to broker deals with the OPA on Ceres and Medina, both parties with one or several agendas for the betterment of their peoples or increase of power.

A small update of the tactical spaceship maps (found here) has been finished, as asked for by at least one person a few years back. The colours have been adjusted, and the font has been adjusted to make the damage dice code is more legible. Both the print and VTT versions have been updated, in colour and black and white. Format is still A3 sized. Different dimensions can possibly be made, also different resolutions. Just comment below and let me know.

Familiarity with game mechanics and a game's setting seems like obvious prerequisites to write an adventure. I am not saying it is not. However, it is not. Not really. It takes a brave person to write an adventure for a game and world with which they may only have passing, limited, or superficial knowledge. However, it is certainly doable. Writing a one page adventure certainly requires some skill.

Create a one-page adventure about the risks and promised rewards of Builder technologies. Found throughout the 1373 systems, Builder artefacts are sought for the secrets they hold, by corporations,…

So, you may be considering participating in the annual one-page adventure jam. That would require you to write. Writing is a process. Trying to figure out or structure your process could lower the threshold for taking part in the jam. There are many ways to break down a process. Process tracing itself is an interesting method used in the political and social sciences to understand and makes sense of organisational practices and decision-making.

After a reread of the starship combat rules, and discussion with community members, I have realised that the starship collection previously uploaded on this site may give the wrong idea about starship combat with regards to serious losses. The updated versions of these files are now uploaded. The reasoning behind the changes are laid out below. To clarify. Normal Losses (NL): can be taken multiple, up to six (6) times, increasing the effect.

To assist participants keep within the formal requirements, and to give hints and tips on form, structure, and content, we have made a Word template for one-page adventures. It is pretty self-explanatory and can be found on the Sheets and Reference page. Good luck and have fun writing up your one-page adventures!
