I am having such a blast with Patlabor (Early Days)! It's a pure joy of genre hodgepodge; stuff like this brought me to anime. It's over the top and grounded at the same time. Btw, Nao Izumi has a birthday today!
I'll likely move to CC Oedo 808 or Shonan Bakusozoku next

We tried to follow Trek's visual style as much as we could to capture the feel of series, and I think it paid off as it turned out to be very atmospheric game.

I love preparing and running this game, and hope that we will be returning to the Shackleton Expanse more in the future. Stay tuned! ⬅️

...or when they render a real opening sequence by the third session!
It features their proud vessel Nova Class NCC-72432 USS Zheleznogorsk on its mission to explore the mysterious Shackleton Expanse in Beta Quadrant. ⬇️

There was a break-in period (none of my players had prior experience with 2d20 and I ran my last game using STA more than a year ago), but we totally had a blast in the end! You know that your players are loving it when they produce art of this quality... (art by @mushkazz.bsky.social) ⬇️
