Download Situation Report!

This little project was a long time coming. Waaaay back when I first published Full Light, Full Steam, I put together demo materials: six "half-gen" characters and a handful of situations engineered for those characters. As a theme, I set each situation on a different planet: one on Mercury, one on Venus, one on Mars, and one in the Asteroid Belt. I also tried to diversify the situations as much as possible, so while one is all politics and social maneuvering, another one is all action-adventure, and another one is all scifi spaceships shooting ether cannons at each other. It was a nice little package and I was proud of it. It was, however, all in long hand and filled out cog cards. I always meant to fire up Illustrator and transfer all those characters, sets, props, and situations over into a pdf and publish it. Life intervened, of course. As of a month ago, I actually thought I had lost the longhand originals, one or two drifting off at a time into the untold mess that is a Monday unpacking after a gaming convention. A couple weeks ago, though, I was pleasantly surprised to find three of the four situations in an old folder, and the fourth one filed away for safekeeping. The cog cards for all four situations were scattered all the hell over, but I managed to find them all and put all the pieces back together. In other words, I lucked out — it was all still there. Sensing that having all the pieces all in one place was not something I was lucky enough to have happen twice, I resolved to sit down and finally get the situations in a nice, safe, digital format. Thus I present you Situation Report!, a free supplement for my three-year-old game Full Light, Full Steam. It includes six characters and four situations engineered for those characters, ideally suited to one-shot, short-form, or convention play. Hope you enjoy!

Wow, cool find! Thanks for this. This also reminds me I need to get my hands on FLFS!

Oh, this is way cool, Josh. I appreciate all the work you put into this and your willingness to let us have it for free. Now I've gotta put FLFS back at the top of my must-play list.

Excellent stuff -- many thanks!

Huh, that's strange. Maybe you can get it at home? Or, hell, I can email it to you if you like. ;)

Ah, that explains it!

I can get it at home, too, so no worries.

I just found it amusing that kallistipress "interferes with the efficient operation of government." (that's the boilerplate on the page that comes up whenever an outside page is blocked).

Posted By: John HarperEvery game should have a quick play package like this.

Says the man who made a game that is a quick-play package like this. ;) You are absolutely right, and Lady Blackbird is one of the reasons I got off my duff to do this. Thanks. :)

Cheers!
