A word I hadn’t heard used toward an RPG before. 791While I might wince at the idea of “work” in a game, I regularly hear it used 792in an area that’s just as playful.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">That’s right, it’s time for <a href="https://www.bastionland.com/2026/01/toolfeel.html" target="_blank">another 793tortured music analogy</a>. <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">There’s a lot of crossover between TTRPG-people and 794synth-people. At our lowest point, we both believe that buying <i>just one more 795thing </i>will open up the gates to heaven that we’ve been imagining within our 796hobby. If I buy that campaign box set I <i>will</i> run a five year saga with 797my friends. If I buy one more drum machine I’ll have the perfect home studio 798setup and finally find my sound. <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Whether it’s games or grooveboxes, I’m not here to tell you 799that gear doesn’t matter, but I think it matters in different ways that are 800worth considering separately. In particular, with music gear, I’m more 801interested in workflow than features.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Workflow is, in short, how you operate the piece of gear. 802Which settings have a knob to turn, and which require navigating a menu screen? 803How easily can I program a sequence or is it easier to just play it live? Does 804this thing come with presets or do I have to make stuff from scratch? <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Now, believe it or not, there’s no <i>right </i>answer to 805any of those (a lie, knobs always beat menus), but each of them will affect the 806way you use the instrument, which in turn affects the music you make. Modular 807synthesis is an entire niche-within-a-niche that promises limitless sound 808opportunities, but its <i>extremely specific </i>workflow tends to produce a 809very specific type of music. Always? No. Often? Well... yeah (sorry, modular 810guys!).<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">This isn’t necessarily about making things simpler or more 811accessible, just considering different options for how each part of the 812experience is presented and interacted with, including which parts sit 813partially or fully concealed, and what choices are given for how to interact 814with each part. <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Meanwhile, features are the things you could generally reel 815off as a spec list. Three fully analogue oscillators with each with six 816shapeable waveforms, hardsync, PWM, ring modulation, cross mod, into a resonant 817filter with high-pass, low-pass and band-pass plus three ADSR envelopes and 818LFOs assigned via mod matrix all controlled by a Euclidean sequencer, on board 819plate and spring reverb unit and so on. <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Now does that mean <i>features don’t matter</i>? Of course not. 820As much as it was written like a joke, that synth sounds great! I love shaping 821a wave and assigning an LFO as much as the next guy, but <i>how I do that</i> 822matters just as much as the fact I <i>can do that</i>. <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">I have Synth A that has an LFO I can assign to modulate one 823of three destinations (bear with me, you don’t need to actually understand 824this) using a simple switch. I have Synth B that has two LFOs I can assign to
825many more locations, but doing so involves using buttons to navigate a menu 826with a tiny LCD screen. Synth B can make sounds impossible with Synth A, but 827Synth A lets me play in a way that Synth B obstructs. <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Dragging ourselves back to RPGs, I’ve definitely played in 828games where I feel like the workflow is preventing me from enjoying, or even 829accessing, some of its headline features. <i>Mythic</i> offers a comparatively 830narrow feature list, but my goal is that the workflow is encouraging people to 831actually play with them, perhaps even shoving them encouragingly into that 832playspace. <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">So will <i>Intergalactic Bastionland </i>“run itself” like 833this? It’s one of my goals for the system, but I think the workflow will feel 834different,<i> </i>something I’ll discuss a little more next week.</p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;">-------------------------------------------------------------------------</span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;">This post was originally sent as a reward to all Patreon supporters, and is released freely on this site the week after its original publication.<br /><br />If you want to support my blog, podcasts, and video content then <a href="https://www.patreon.com/bastionland">head over to my Patreon.</a></span></p> 835<div style='clear: both;'></div> 836</div> 837<div class='post-footer'> 838<div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'> 839<span class='post-author vcard'> 840Posted by 841<span class='fn' itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> 842<meta content='https://www.blogger.com/profile/11717684225248546716' itemprop='url'/> 843<a class='g-profile' href='https://www.blogger.com/profile/11717684225248546716' rel='author' title='author profile'> 844<span itemprop='name'>Chris McDowall</span> 845</a> 846</span> 847</span> 848<span class='post-timestamp'> 849at 850<meta content='https://www.bastionland.com/2026/09/workflow-eats-features-for-breakfast.html' itemprop='url'/> 851<a class='timestamp-link' href='https://www.bastionland.com/2026/09/workflow-eats-features-for-breakfast.html' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published' itemprop='datePublished' title='2026-09-16T10:55:00+01:00'>10:55</abbr></a> 852</span> 853<span class='post-comment-link'> 854<a class='comment-link' href='https://www.bastionland.com/2026/09/workflow-eats-features-for-breakfast.html#comment-form' onclick=''> 8553 comments: 856 </a> 857</span> 858<span class='post-icons'> 859<span class='item-control blog-admin pid-765823580'> 860<a href='https://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=615826467198003068&postID=6453126187109817522&from=pencil' title='Edit Post'> 861<img alt='' class='icon-action' height='18' src='https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif' width='18'/> 862</a> 863</span> 864</span> 865<div class='post-share-buttons goog-inline-block'> 866</div> 867</div> 868<div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-2'> 869<span class='post-labels'> 870</span> 871</div> 872<div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-3'> 873<span class='post-location'> 874</span> 875</div> 876</div> 877</div> 878</div> 879 880 </div></div> 881 882 883 <div class="date-outer"> 884 885<h2 class='date-header'><span>Wednesday, 9 September 2026</span></h2> 886 887 <div class="date-posts"> 888 889<div class='post-outer'> 890<div class='post hentry uncustomized-post-template' itemprop='blogPost' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'> 891<meta content='615826467198003068' itemprop='blogId'/> 892<meta content='2310809669410128948' itemprop='postId'/> 893<a name='2310809669410128948'></a> 894<h3 class='post-title entry-title' itemprop='name'> 895<a href='https://www.bastionland.com/2026/09/realplay.html'>Realplay</a> 896</h3> 897<div class='post-header'> 898<div class='post-header-line-1'></div> 899</div> 900<div class='post-body entry-content' id='post-body-2310809669410128948' itemprop='description articleBody'> 901<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: inherit;">We honour the <b>real </b>when we make a decision in service 902of the integrity of the in-game reality. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: inherit;">We honour the <b>play</b> when we make a decision in service 903of the group having fun at the table. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: inherit;">We don’t need to choose. We can plan so that both of these 904sides are honoured, conjuring <b>realplay</b> to the table, an experience that 905is a fun game based within a world that feels real. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Honouring Real</b><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: inherit;">We honour the real when we do what feels realistic, even if 906it’s not all that fun. The dragon breathes fire, enough to fill the cavern. 907200d6 damage, okay you’re dead. Well yeah, nobody could just stand there and 908take that. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Honouring Play</b><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: inherit;">We honour the play when we do what feels fun, even if it 909doesn’t feel all that realistic. The dragon breathes fire. What’s your HP? 31? 910Okay it does... 5d6 damage, rolling 16. Flame washes over you but I guess you 911get mostly behind a rock. You’re down to half HP! What do you do?<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Pursuing Realplay</b><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Realplay is what we pursue when we try, in every element of 912the game, to honour both the real and the play. This can be considered in every 913part of the process, from system design to worldbuilding to adventure design to 914running the game at the table. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: inherit;">It’
914s as simple as abandoning the false dichotomy between the 915real and the play, and seeking the solution that honours both. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Going back to our strawdragon example, both are obviously 916meant to be unsatisfying. Getting burned up before you can react makes sense if 917we imagine a real, colossal dragon, but it doesn’t feel like much fun if it 918happens out of nowhere. However, this excerpt could be a part of realplay if 919the deadliness of this dragon had been properly signposted, and the players had 920plenty of choices that <i>didn’t</i> involve going head to head with this 921titanic threat. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Losing half your HP to this devastating attack feels much 922more appropriate for a game, but it makes that dragon feel less like a real, 923gigantic threat that would be a true monster of this world. However, this could 924also have been part of realplay if we’re treating HP like Hit Protection or 925Guard, and found a way to narrate it a bit more convincingly. Likewise, if we 926know the dragon is unlikely to burn you away with a single burst of flame, 927perhaps we adjust how that dragon is described in the world. Are they old, 928losing their incendiary vigour? Does he always try to capture adventurers alive 929so he can mess with them before he eats them? <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Remember, we aren’t bound by the laws of our own reality. <i>Mythic 930Bastionland</i> is full of examples where the fairytale-logic of the world 931operates on an internal consistency that serves to make the game more 932fun. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Now this post is at risk of just rehashing <a href="https://www.bastionland.com/2018/09/the-ici-doctrine-information-choice.html" target="_blank">ICI Doctrine</a>, but the main point I want to remember is that 933there are always two masters to please, and they are not mutually exclusive. If 934a decision only pleases one of these masters, then look for another way 935forward.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;">-------------------------------------------------------------------------</span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;">This post was originally sent as a reward to all Patreon supporters, and is released freely on this site the week after its original publication.<br /><br />If you want to support my blog, podcasts, and video content then <a href="https://www.patreon.com/bastionland">head over to my Patreon.</a></span></p> 936<div style='clear: both;'></div> 937</div> 938<div class='post-footer'> 939<div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'> 940<span class='post-author vcard'> 941Posted by 942<span class='fn' itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> 943<meta content='https://www.blogger.com/profile/11717684225248546716' itemprop='url'/> 944<a class='g-profile' href='https://www.blogger.com/profile/11717684225248546716' rel='author' title='author profile'> 945<span itemprop='name'>Chris McDowall</span> 946</a> 947</span> 948</span> 949<span class='post-timestamp'> 950at 951<meta content='https://www.bastionland.com/2026/09/realplay.html' itemprop='url'/> 952<a class='timestamp-link' href='https://www.bastionland.com/2026/09/realplay.html' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published' itemprop='datePublished' title='2026-09-09T08:00:00+01:00'>08:00</abbr></a> 953</span> 954<span class='post-comment-link'> 955<a class='comment-link' href='https://www.bastionland.com/2026/09/realplay.html#comment-form' onclick=''> 956No comments: 957 </a> 958</span> 959<span class='post-icons'> 960<span class='item-control blog-admin pid-765823580'> 961<a href='https://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=615826467198003068&postID=2310809669410128948&from=pencil' title='Edit Post'> 962<img alt='' class='icon-action' height='18' src='https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif' width='18'/> 963</a> 964</span> 965</span> 966<div class='post-share-buttons goog-inline-block'> 967</div> 968</div> 969<div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-2'> 970<span class='post-labels'> 971</span> 972</div> 973<div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-3'> 974<span class='post-location'> 975</span> 976</div> 977</div> 978</div> 979</div> 980 981 </div></div> 982 983 984 <div class="date-outer"> 985 986<h2 class='date-header'><span>Wednesday, 2 September 2026</span></h2> 987 988 <div class="date-posts"> 989 990<div class='post-outer'> 991<div class='post hentry uncustomized-post-template' itemprop='blogPost' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'> 992<meta content='615826467198003068' itemprop='blogId'/> 993<meta content='6026116093193084471' itemprop='postId'/> 994<a name='6026116093193084471'></a> 995<h3 class='post-title entry-title' itemprop='name'> 996<a href='https://www.bastionland.com/2026/09/starpath-archive-of-cosmic-truth.html'>Starpath - Archive of Cosmic Truth</a> 997</h3> 998<div class='post-header'> 999<div class='post-header-line-1'></div> 1000</div> 1001<div class='post-body entry-content' id='post-body-6026116093193084471' itemprop='description articleBody'> 1002<p>From the inscription “The Four Wonders” commonly displayed at Starpath facilities. </p><p>Wording and attribution varies between systems. </p><p><i>We built temples when we saw the stars.

Best method I’ve found is making sure everyone feels both ends of the stick at some point in their life, just to give them faith that it’s all fair and equal. If you think justice is against you, we’re here to see you right. If you think justice is on your side it means you’re overdue a crack of the whip. </p><p>The point of the union is that the <i>people </i>decide what’s right. All people, not just a gang of enforcers or a parliament of lawmakers. That’s why we have universal membership.</p><p>Being right isn’t enough, you’ve got to make the wrong thing right. Enough of us want someone dead, we can make that happen. That’s why we have universal jurisdiction. </p><p>Everyone’s a member, and everyone’s a valid target.</p><p>That all sounds very sinister. It’s not all about taking out bad actors. We put food in bowls by putting people in work by pressuring the fatcats to make more jobs. Pushing the captain to hire a full crew. Efficiency is a waste and profit a missed opportunity. A big heap of nothing compared to seeing people living their best lives, earning their way, looking out for one another. </p><p>While membership is universal, of course we adhere to the standard status tiers. </p><p><b>Status</b></p><p>Blacklisted: Enemies of the people. Must immediately submit to custody or face wild justice. </p><p>Flagged: Members under review, whether through suspicious behaviour or lack of enthusiasm for the cause.

Duty bound to serve fellow people and report wrongful action. </p><p>Certified: Those who carry out righteous action at the command of the union.

The <a href="https://www.bastionland.com/2026/07/the-free-exchange-trust.html">FXT</a> buys the pencils, the <a href="https://www.bastionland.com/2026/07/nca-directives.html">NCA</a> tells you what colour you’re allowed to use, and Sovereign tells you that’s not your pencil so put it back.</p><p>I didn’t say it was a good saying. I got it from a Notarianshand up on fifth, so take it up with them.</p><p>Sovereign knows everything has a rightful owner, and it’s probably not you. In fact, the act of claiming ownership is already mighty suspect. </p><p>The Captain has (hopefully!) a good enough relationship with them that they can operate one of the few independent ships. Stars forbid anything happen to our brave Captain, of course, but any potential successors to that seat would do well to maintain a close relationship with a Sovereign agent or two. </p><p>Of course, this matters most when we’re talking about planets, and most would agree with the Sovereign policy that institutions shouldn’t be allowed to just gather up worlds into empires. Luckily, any time an institution gets a little too close to acting as an interstellar government, there are four other institutions suddenly passionate about the Sovereign cause, eager to bring ownership back to the world’s rightful inhabitants. That is, whoever Sovereign likes best.</p><p>The trick is in keeping all of those planetary governments on side, and Sovereign manages that by keeping them apart. Diplomatic assemblies aboard the First Forum lend Sovereign a sense of gravitas, for sure, but they also unleash the catastrophe of letting world leaders speak openly to each other. Much better to keep them focused on their own worlds, liaising through their entrusted Sovereign Charterhouse. Being gently overseen by Sovereign is so much more proper than being puppeted around by an institution. </p><p>In the end, nobody really minds that there’s a border between the starport and the world-proper. It makes it easier for the FXT to run a frictionless orbital operation, and it gives the NCA a job to do keeping the border tight. </p><p>Oh, and in case you were wondering, Starpath explains that you don’t need a pencil anymore, Konkord is hiding all the sharpeners, and the Justice Union has already stabbed the pencil into your back.</p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;">-------------------------------------------------------------------------</span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;">

Look no further than the FXT, which some mistake for a corporation. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;">They control money, but they aren’t a bank. They control trade, but they aren’t merchants. They’re a monopoly, but they’re not a monolith. They’re a sprawling web of open hands and closed fists.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;">Confused? Think of it this way.</span></p><span style="font-family: inherit;"><paywall-breakpoint></paywall-breakpoint></span><p><span style="font-family: inherit;">Claiming ownership of clusters of stars is no true power. Instead, it lies in controlling a vital element </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">of interstellar life. The six great institutions have each managed to do this, getting all the benefits of power without the need to operate as a traditional government or corporation. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;">The Free Exchange Trust did this with trade. They don’t do the trading themselves, but the traders can’t operate without them. Traders need loans to invest in stock, orbitals to drop the cargo, and they get paid in Frags. Guess who controls all those things?</span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;">Controls, not owns, right? Look, I didn’t say this would be simple.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;">The institutions have surprisingly few employees, and the FXT are no exception. Instead, they rely on their network of sponsored agencies and organisations. Though technically independent, they rely on their institution in order to operate within its domain. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;">All those parts of the network treat you differently based on your status with the institution. Everyone’s status is recorded as one of the following:</span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Sponsored</b>: Given support and authority<br /><b>Certified</b>: Trusted and recognised<br /><b>Registered</b>: Permitted to operate<br /><b>Flagged</b>: Monitored and restricted<br /><b>Blacklisted</b>: Denied all access</span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;">Sponsored by the FXT? Now you’
1270ve got more frags than you know what to do with.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;">Registered? Sure, you can go about your business as long as it’s benefiting them. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;">Blacklisted? Good luck getting anything done when you can’t dock at an orbital and nobody trusts you to pay your debts. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;">Sure, you could start up a new bank that isn’t part of the FXT.

It’s a certainty that your Captain holds the favour of some institutions and the ire of others. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;">If there’s one that a Captain must manage especially carefully, it’s the NCA.</span></p><span style="font-family: inherit;"><paywall-breakpoint></paywall-breakpoint></span>
1337<p><span style="font-family: inherit;">The <em>New Compliance Authority </em>replaced the <em>Compliance Authority</em>, which replaced the <em>Compliance Agency </em>which replaced the <em>Security and Compliance Agency</em>, which was essentially a wing of the <em>Free Exchange Trust</em>. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;">None of this matters as much as knowing that what started as an earnest attempt to ensure safe space travel and combat piracy has become a sprawling organisation equal parts pencil-pushing bureaucrats and barely-legitimised pirates, sharing the common goals of spreading NCA influence while building their own pension pots. Critics will tell you they’re just making up the rules as they go, an excuse to deal out fines, but there’s definitely a rulebook.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;">Or, at least, rulebooks. They can’t be expected to carry every volume at all times. The most commonly seen incomplete collection is the <em>Selected NCA Directives - Core Edition </em>which contains nine-hundred and ninety-nine (technically more if you count the sub-directives) of the most important rules any starfaring vessel and its crew must follow if they wish to avoid NCA reprimands. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;">Here are a few: </span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;"><strong>Directive 009 </strong>- All goods must have their NCA Standard Goods Type and Point of Origin marked on at least five faces of their container. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;">Penalty - Fine of 1 Frag for each container of goods found in breach of the directive.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;"><strong>Directive 200</strong> - No Independent Ship’s Captain shall attend a meeting with a member of any great institution, NCA excluded, without at least one other member of their crew present. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;">Penalty - Captain must immediately step down and appoint a successor. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;"><strong>Directive 200d</strong> - No crew member of head or hand rank may refuse or resist questioning by an NCA agent in matters relating to their Captain. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;">Penalty - Crew found to be in breach of the directive must be left at the nearest inhabited world and cannot serve as crew for a full year. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;"><strong>Directive 290</strong> - No vessel may undertake enterprise bordering on piracy, plunder, buccaneering, bootlegging, or freebooting. Crew witness to these acts must report their vessel to the NCA. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;">Penalty - Vessel must operate under supervision of an NCA Agent and advisory team until parole review to be set at their convenience. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;"><strong>Directive 338f</strong> - Goods designated as Illicit may only be traded by vessels in possession of an NCA Illicit Goods Warrant, each warrant being good for a single transit of such goods. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;">Penalty - Seizure of goods found to be in breach of the directive. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;"><strong>Directive 464</strong> - A Vessel’s registered name must successfully evoke its purpose and character without unnecessary aggrandisement. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;">Penalty - Vessel must set bearing for nearest NCA Full Inspection Depot and report to their assigned Agent for rebranding. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;">Someone once told me the second half isn’t worth reading, so I took that as gospel.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;">-------------------------------------------------------------------------</span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;">This post was originally sent as a reward to all Patreon supporters, and is released freely on this site the week after its original publication.<br /><br />

Forget drawing maps and practising NPC voices, the real climb is done in the real world.</p><p>I’ve heard much anger at the idea of putting marketing copy inside your gamebook but... hear me out... in some groups... the GM <em>does</em> need to market the game to players in order to get that game to the table. </p><p>Worse still, as a GM with a bunch of books on my shelf, those books aren’t done marketing themselves to me yet. They need to sell their dream to me even as I hold them in my hands. Not vying for my attention, but working to convince me that I can and will run this game, leaving me passionate enough to draw a group of players in and make the dream a reality. </p><p><b>The Descent</b></p><p>That’s the hard part out of the way. It’s all downhill from here. Of course, you can’t change direction, but it’s just for a little while. This is the part where you set the players quickly off in a certain direction and stack up the momentum. Traveller’s lifepath and ship mortgage are classic examples. Electric Bastionland’s Debt and Mythic Bastionland’s Oath are my attempts at this. </p><p><strong>The Launch</strong></p><p>The point of transition between that linear descent and the open skies of flight. At its most basic level I plan my RPG sessions to have an important decision thrown at the players almost immediately. A dungeon with a front door and a sneaky tunnel round back. A hex map with a starting point and vague directions to your first hook. The splash of cold water that wakes up the decision-making brain. </p><p><strong>The Flight</strong></p><p>This is the “hey this game runs itself” dream. With the players fully engaged, invested, directing the play, all you’ve got to do is enjoy the view and watch out for geese. The important thing here is that the players enjoy this freedom that we’ve been building up to, without feeling overwhelmed as they might be if we just shot them out of a cannon without warning. The GM also needs support, typically from library content in the book, or tools to help with improvisation. </p><p><strong>The Landing</strong></p><p><paywall-breakpoint></paywall-breakpoint></p><p>I imagine Ski Jumping 101 has a pretty early class on “how to land”, but for a long time I didn’t really think about how my sessions or campaigns might finish. I’m especially interested in the latter, now, as you’ll see in the City Quest of <em>Mythic Bastionland, </em>or the equally appealing “you might die of old age”. Even if you never get there, I’ve started noticing that players appreciate at least a suggestion of how the game might reach a conclusion.</p><p> <span style="font-family: inherit;">-------------------------------------------------------------------------</span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;">This post was originally sent as a reward to all Patreon supporters, and is released freely on this site the week after its original publication.<br /><br />If you want to support my blog, podcasts, and video content then <a href="https://www.patreon.com/bastionland">head over to my Patreon.</a></span></p> 1406<div style='clear: both;'></div> 1407</div> 1408<div class='post-footer'> 1409<div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'> 1410<span class='post-author vcard'> 1411Posted by 1412<span class='fn' itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> 1413<meta content='https://www.blogger.com/profile/11717684225248546716' itemprop='url'/> 1414<a class='g-profile' href='https://www.blogger.com/profile/11717684225248546716' rel='author' title='author profile'> 1415<span itemprop='name'>Chris McDowall</span> 1416</a> 1417</span> 1418</span> 1419<span class='post-timestamp'> 1420at 1421<meta content='https://www.bastionland.com/2026/06/ski-jump-design.html' itemprop='url'/> 1422<a class='timestamp-link' href='https://www.bastionland.com/2026/06/ski-jump-design.html' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published' itemprop='datePublished' title='2026-06-24T08:42:00+01:00'>08:42</abbr></a> 1423</span> 1424<span class='post-comment-link'> 1425<a class='comment-link' href='https://www.bastionland.com/2026/06/ski-jump-design.html#comment-form' onclick=''> 14262 comments: 1427 </a> 1428</span> 1429<span class='post-icons'> 1430<span class='item-control blog-admin pid-765823580'> 1431<a href='https://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=615826467198003068&postID=4577334252689685297&from=pencil' title='Edit Post'> 1432<img alt='' class='icon-action' height='18' src='https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif' width='18'/> 1433</a> 1434</span> 1435</span> 1436<div class='post-share-buttons goog-inline-block'> 1437</div> 1438</div> 1439<div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-2'> 1440<span class='post-labels'> 1441</span> 1442</div> 1443<div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-3'> 1444<span class='post-location'> 1445</span> 1446</div> 1447</div> 1448</div> 1449</div> 1450 1451 </div></div> 1452 1453 1454 <div class="date-outer"> 1455 1456<h2 class='date-header'><span>Wednesday, 17 June 2026</span></h2> 1457 1458 <div class="date-posts"> 1459 1460<div class='post-outer'> 1461<div class='post hentry uncustomized-post-template' itemprop='blogPost' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'> 1462<meta content='615826467198003068' itemprop='blogId'/> 1463<meta content='8578377241177965287' itemprop='postId'/> 1464<a name='8578377241177965287'></a> 1465<h3 class='post-title entry-title' itemprop='name'> 1466<a href='https://www.bastionland.com/2026/06/a-game-you-play.html'>A Game you Play</a> 1467</h3> 1468<div class='post-header'> 1469<div class='post-header-line-1'></div> 1470</div> 1471<div class='post-body entry-content' id='post-body-8578377241177965287' itemprop='description articleBody'> 1472<p data-pm-slice="0 0 []"><em>Pandemic Legacy</em> (2015) wasn’t the first legacy boardgame, but it was the breakthrough moment when many players became aware of the format.</p><paywall-breakpoint></paywall-breakpoint><p>Imagine you play a game of monopoly (I’m so sorry) but throughout the game you make permanent changes to the board, adding shortcuts and roadblocks.

Of 1543course we need factions, right?<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">I know I don’t want factions to be brushes that I use to 1544paint chunks of the map, like “this swathe of blue space belongs to the 1545Suchandsuch Empire, and this pink blob is the Confederacy of Thoseguys”. I’ve 1546always found that sort of map lures you into the borderlands, exploring the 1547worlds that exist between two factions, but what if everywhere was like that?<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Instead of borders butting up against each other I want the 1548colours to mix into each other, creating patches of interesting blends from 1549their primary hues. <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">More Pollock than Mondrian. <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Remember, we’re talking about <i>factions</i> here, not 1550states. Powerful institutions can mingle within the same physical space without 1551borders, each claiming a functional domain rather than a geographical one. Of 1552course each planet will feel the influence of some factions more than others, 1553but I like the idea that you could see their fingerprints on just about any 1554world.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Let’s look at the six factions in the game right now and the 1555area in which they have an effective monopoly. <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b>Free Exchange Trust (FXT) - Monopolised Trade<br /></b>Most worlds can meet their own essential demands, so 1556interplanetary trade focuses on the exporter's unique, specialist, or curious 1557variations. The FXT enables both the logistic and financial halves of this, not 1558to mention the flow of information. </p><p class="MsoNormal"><b>Sovereign - Monopolised Governance<br /></b>Most worlds govern themselves, without concern for what 1559happens out in space, and the Sovereign assembly works to keep other factions 1560out, gaining their own seats of influence in return.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><b>New Compliance Authority (NCA) - Monopolised Law<br /></b>A unified legal code has never been fully accepted across 1561space. The closest thing is the NCA, born out of legitimised pirates, now a 1562sprawling enforcer of laws nobody remembers agreeing to.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><b>Konkord Group - Monopolised War<br /></b>Most conflicts are limited to a single world, with 1563interplanetary war requiring more resources than a government can bear to 1564waste. Private militaries swept in to fill this void, Konkord having more 1565success than most, eventually buying out their rivals and enemies alike.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><b>Justice Union - Monopolised Justice <br /></b>With factions spreading the galaxy, the individual can feel 1566powerless. This has sparked a thirst for collective justice. This union of 1567unions rarely agrees on anything beyond the need for reprisal. </p><p class="MsoNormal"><b>Starpath - Monopolised Faith <br /></b>People have always looked to the stars for answers, their 1568power to bend reality beyond any reasonable question. With no boundaries 1569between science and mysticism, it’s only natural that an amalgam of science, 1570academia, and religion would act as a unified faith. </p><p class="MsoNormal"><b>What’s the Point?<br /></b>The important thing, of course, is that they each rule over 1571a domain that the players are likely to get involved with, and each table may 1572find them as allies or antagonists depending on their approach.</p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;">-------------------------------------------------------------------------</span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;">

In my experience, this works well enough, granting many 1641advantages too.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Improvise a castle town? Sure, I’m picturing it now. How 1642many people live here? Oh I dunno, why do you care? Raise an army? The book 1643says it can support a warband or two. <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">How does society work? Here are the roles most people fall 1644into. You know, it’s kinda like actual medieval society but we don’t need to 1645sweat the details. <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">What’s this forest we’re walking through? Let me paint you 1646an arboreal masterpiece, I walked through a forest two days ago.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">You don’t get the same leeway with sci fi. Alien worlds are 1647unfamiliar, and technology doesn’t get to be as arcane as true magic. <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">I remember a <i>Mothership</i> actual play where the GM’s in 1648the moment decision about whether a ship had remote airlock control had a huge 1649impact on the course of the game, the GM expressing a little discomfort in that 1650afterwards.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">I love it when improvised details become important, but I 1651don’t like it when big outcomes feel arbitrary. <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">So yeah, this means I’m swallowing the bitter pill that <i>Intergalactic</i> 1652requires a bit more foundational information than <i>Mythic. </i>Don’t think I 1653can pull off the “here’s all your setting information on one page” trick with 1654this one. <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">On the positive side of things, this is something I’ve 1655rarely been able to indulge in! It’s been fun to consider how the big six 1656factions actually work, their relationships to core elements of the setting, 1657and to each other, rather than leaving that down to the individual referee’s 1658prep. <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Wallowing in naval minutia might leave the player characters
1659overwhelmed by jargon, but they’re newly recruited crewmembers! Lean into this 1660at the table, give your players the choice for how much they want to integrate 1661into this unfamiliar culture. <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">I suppose it all fits with the plan to have a fully detailed 1662library of star systems, rather than the petri dish feel of tossing myths into 1663your realm in <i>Mythic</i>. From the start I said that I didn’t want <i>Intergalactic</i> 1664to just be <i>Mythic with Lasers </i>but I feel like I’m drifting further away 1665with each iteration. <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">God help me, for a moment I even considered a timeline.</p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;">--------------------------------------------------------------------------</span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;">This post was originally sent as a reward to all Patreon supporters, and is released freely on this site the week after its original publication.<br /><br />If you want to support my blog, podcasts, and video content then <a href="https://www.patreon.com/bastionland">head over to my Patreon.</a></span></p> 1666<div style='clear: both;'></div> 1667</div> 1668<div class='post-footer'> 1669<div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'> 1670<span class='post-author vcard'> 1671Posted by 1672<span class='fn' itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> 1673<meta content='https://www.blogger.com/profile/11717684225248546716' itemprop='url'/> 1674<a class='g-profile' href='https://www.blogger.com/profile/11717684225248546716' rel='author' title='author profile'> 1675<span itemprop='name'>Chris McDowall</span> 1676</a> 1677</span> 1678</span> 1679<span class='post-timestamp'> 1680at 1681<meta content='https://www.bastionland.com/2026/06/space-is-for-fantasy-not-sci-fi.html' itemprop='url'/> 1682<a class='timestamp-link' href='https://www.bastionland.com/2026/06/space-is-for-fantasy-not-sci-fi.html' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published' itemprop='datePublished' title='2026-06-03T09:16:00+01:00'>09:16</abbr></a> 1683</span> 1684<span class='post-comment-link'> 1685<a class='comment-link' href='https://www.bastionland.com/2026/06/space-is-for-fantasy-not-sci-fi.html#comment-form' onclick=''> 1686No comments: 1687 </a> 1688</span> 1689<span class='post-icons'> 1690<span class='item-control blog-admin pid-765823580'> 1691<a href='https://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=615826467198003068&postID=987886227522697715&from=pencil' title='Edit Post'> 1692<img alt='' class='icon-action' height='18' src='https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif' width='18'/> 1693</a> 1694</span> 1695</span> 1696<div class='post-share-buttons goog-inline-block'> 1697</div> 1698</div> 1699<div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-2'> 1700<span class='post-labels'> 1701</span> 1702</div> 1703<div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-3'> 1704<span class='post-location'> 1705</span> 1706</div> 1707</div> 1708</div> 1709</div> 1710 1711 </div></div> 1712 1713 1714 <div class="date-outer"> 1715 1716<h2 class='date-header'><span>Wednesday, 27 May 2026</span></h2> 1717 1718 <div class="date-posts"> 1719 1720<div class='post-outer'> 1721<div class='post hentry uncustomized-post-template' itemprop='blogPost' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'> 1722<meta content='615826467198003068' itemprop='blogId'/> 1723<meta content='2769969315600544833' itemprop='postId'/> 1724<a name='2769969315600544833'></a> 1725<h3 class='post-title entry-title' itemprop='name'> 1726<a href='https://www.bastionland.com/2026/05/pressure-pushing-down-on-me-and-also-up.html'>Pressure - Pushing Down on Me (and also up and from the side)</a> 1727</h3> 1728<div class='post-header'> 1729<div class='post-header-line-1'></div> 1730</div> 1731<div class='post-body entry-content' id='post-body-2769969315600544833' itemprop='description articleBody'> 1732<p class="MsoNormal">What pressures do you face as a Head in the top 10% of a 1733thousand crew starship in <a href="https://bit.ly/ibplaytest" target="_blank"><i>Intergalactic 1734Bastionland</i></a><i>?</i><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">It comes down to what each other crewmember might want from 1735you, and how they might ask for it.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b>From Above - Political Pressure<br /> 1736</b>Of the six officers on the ship, one is your direct boss, but each can 1737technically stick their noses in your business when they want to. Mostly their 1738concerns are political, making sure the balance of power between officers is 1739either maintained or tilted in their favour. Whether they're interested in 1740undermining the captain or securing their authority depends on their own level 1741of favour from above.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><i>The ship expects excellence from you, squire, now go out 1742and bring me a report of this problem solved.</i><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><i>I have a special task for you, good crewmember, and make 1743sure no word of this reaches the Marshal in Arms.</i><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><i>What would the captain think of your lack of appetite for

It's easy to focus on the latter, 1747thinking they're all out to get you. The truth is, most look to their peers as 1748an outlet for a personal life that can be difficult to find in the cold steel 1749of a starship hull. Of course, if they stumble onto some leverage over you, 1750they'd be silly not to take advantage.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><i>Comrade, you hear the latest scuttle about the Chaplain 1751and the Purser?

I guess coming back to familiarity after a few weeks of novelty got me thinking.</p><p>Sometimes you repeat the same stuff over and over. Sometimes you breeze past stuff, never looking back. We’ll use an imperfect racing analogy of Circuits and Rallies. </p><p>Circuits are great because you get to revisit things, building a familiarity with them. In Intergalactic Bastionland this is the ship, where you regularly return to the same place with the same people. </p><p>Rallies are great because you’re experiencing a flurry of new material. In Intergalactic this is visiting worlds, where you get to experience a strange place and meet new people. </p><p>This isn’t a case of good vs bad. Both types of element have their advantages, but benefit from the other in order to shine. </p><p>And of course this usually isn’t a perfect fit. You can encounter new people and places within the ship, and you might revisit a contact when you go back to a world. The purpose of this idea is to consider whether your game would benefit from more of either type of content. </p><p>In my last Traveller campaign I think the crew visited eleven worlds, with no return visits. There were a few recurring NPCs, but they only encountered them on new worlds, usually requiring a little hijinks behind the curtain to get everyone in the right place on time. As such, it felt very rally-like, a road trip through space where the happenings on each planet felt quite disconnected from each other. It felt like a bit of a missed opportunity to go back to a known location.</p><p>This is part of my impetus for having Intergalactic take place on a much larger ship, with that acting as the circuit. This is the Star Trek model, right? Planet of the week, with the ship acting as a consistent element.</p><p>So why do I worry that the players won’t care about these worlds if they don’t return to them?</p><p>At the moment the ship’s movement is unpredictable, largely outside of the players’ hands at the start of the game, but my gut feeling is that new w
1966orlds will be slightly more common than recurring worlds. </p><p>So it’s easy to imagine the players not caring about these worlds, beyond a place to pick up a one-off job before blasting off into the void. Maybe they won’t even care if they revisit a world like Labyrinth and find that the planet’s core has finally annihilated itself from within.</p><p>I guess this is the nature of space, or at least a game that encourages such wide-spanning space exploration. It’s okay to have the novelty of the rally alongside the familiarity of the circuit.</p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;">--------------------------------------------------------------------------</span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;">This post was originally sent as a reward to all Patreon supporters, and is released freely on this site the week after its original publication.<br /><br />If you want to support my blog, podcasts, and video content then <a href="https://www.patreon.com/bastionland">head over to my Patreon.</a></span></p> 1967<div style='clear: both;'></div> 1968</div> 1969<div class='post-footer'> 1970<div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'> 1971<span class='post-author vcard'> 1972Posted by 1973<span class='fn' itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> 1974<meta content='https://www.blogger.com/profile/11717684225248546716' itemprop='url'/> 1975<a class='g-profile' href='https://www.blogger.com/profile/11717684225248546716' rel='author' title='author profile'> 1976<span itemprop='name'>Chris McDowall</span> 1977</a> 1978</span> 1979</span> 1980<span class='post-timestamp'> 1981at 1982<meta content='https://www.bastionland.com/2026/05/circuits-and-rallies.html' itemprop='url'/> 1983<a class='timestamp-link' href='https://www.bastionland.com/2026/05/circuits-and-rallies.html' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published' itemprop='datePublished' title='2026-05-06T09:18:00+01:00'>09:18</abbr></a> 1984</span> 1985<span class='post-comment-link'> 1986<a class='comment-link' href='https://www.bastionland.com/2026/05/circuits-and-rallies.html#comment-form' onclick=''> 1987No comments: 1988 </a> 1989</span> 1990<span class='post-icons'> 1991<span class='item-control blog-admin pid-765823580'> 1992<a href='https://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=615826467198003068&postID=4986367833836335091&from=pencil' title='Edit Post'> 1993<img alt='' class='icon-action' height='18' src='https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif' width='18'/> 1994</a> 1995</span> 1996</span> 1997<div class='post-share-buttons goog-inline-block'> 1998</div> 1999</div> 2000<div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-2'> 2001<span class='post-labels'> 2002</span> 2003</div> 2004<div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-3'> 2005<span class='post-location'> 2006</span> 2007</div> 2008</div> 2009</div> 2010</div> 2011 2012 </div></div> 2013 2014 2015 <div class="date-outer"> 2016 2017<h2 class='date-header'><span>Wednesday, 1 April 2026</span></h2> 2018 2019 <div class="date-posts"> 2020 2021<div class='post-outer'> 2022<div class='post hentry uncustomized-post-template' itemprop='blogPost' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'> 2023<meta content='615826467198003068' itemprop='blogId'/> 2024<meta content='4648966334025523779' itemprop='postId'/> 2025<a name='4648966334025523779'></a> 2026<h3 class='post-title entry-title' itemprop='name'> 2027<a href='https://www.bastionland.com/2026/04/tempo.html'>Tempo</a> 2028</h3> 2029<div class='post-header'> 2030<div class='post-header-line-1'></div> 2031</div> 2032<div class='post-body entry-content' id='post-body-4648966334025523779' itemprop='description articleBody'> 2033<p class="MsoNormal">Been tinkering with some advice for pacing a game of <i>Intergalactic. </i>I suspect I'll go a bit further than this, but it's a start.</p><p class="MsoNormal">The speed at which the group moves through events in the 2034game world can shift between slow and fast tempos.

Some ships banned 2134them, but they were still awarded as tattoos hidden away beneath uniforms.<o:p></o:p></p> 2135 2136<p class="MsoNormal">Although tradition still dictates that only Hands can award 2137a Pin, they are now considered universal, with Heads, Officers, and even some 2138Captains ensuring they receive their dues. <o:p></o:p></p> 2139 2140<p class="MsoNormal">The system is strict, intended to avoid the need for a 2141neutral judge. If somebody can prove they’ve met the requirements for a Pin for 2142the first time, usually through witnesses, then they’re eligible for it, and 2143that’s that. Each Pin can only be earned once.<o:p></o:p></p> 2144 2145<p class="MsoNormal">Pins are usually awarded in batches, in a combination of 2146sacred ritual, hazing ordeal, and rowdy party.<o:p></o:p></p> 2147 2148<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Unofficial Accolades</b><o:p></o:p></p> 2149 2150<p class="MsoNormal">This whole system has been allowed to flourish because it 2151gives the crew a sense of accomplishment on what can be a rather repetitive 2152life of drudgery. When the Hands are excited about earning some shiny new 2153trinket then they stop considering other career options or asking for a raise.<o:p></o:p></p> 2154 2155<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Bonding and Recognition</b><o:p></o:p></p> 2156 2157<p class="MsoNormal">The crew already has an unofficial hierarchy of Seniority 2158denoting how well respected they are in their job, with tiers of First down to 2159Third.<o:p></o:p></p> 2160 2161<p class="MsoNormal">Pins are more of a social element.

Other worlds are minor worlds, either barely inhabited or uninhabited. For those not detailed, roll d12 and d6, consulting the following tables:</p><p><strong>Type<br /></strong>1 Rock - Low gravity, no atmosphere, or water<br />2 Mire - Extremely toxic environment<br />3 Crucible - Extreme heat or volcanism<br />4 Jungle - Overgrown with vegetation<br />5 Waste - Flat, arid, and choking<br />6 Tempest - Volatile weather patterns<br />7 Crush - High gravity and extreme landscape<br />8 Sinister - Invisible threat, radiation/microbes<br />9 Anomaly - Strange behaviour<br />10 Flux - Shifting to a new phase or destruction<br />11 Fluid - Non-solid surface<br />12 Hive - Teeming with hostile lifeforms</p><p><strong>Status</strong><br />1 Unknown - No recorded information<br />2 Scanned - Observed from orbit<br />3 Surveyed - Explored on surface<br />4 Vessel - A faction keeps a vessel present<br />5 Orbital - Small Orbital base present<br />6 Landing - Small base on surface</p><p>World Spark Tables can provide more details.

Rolling out a star map and 2374saying "yeah, each of these is a whole solar system. Where do you want to 2375go?"<o:p></o:p></p> 2376 2377<p class="MsoNormal">It's an utterly different scale to the realms of <i>Mythic 2378Bastionland</i>. I wanted those to feel big, but they're grounded enough that 2379you can generally plan out what exists where. Those "empty hexes" are 2380easy enough to handwave with some vague descriptions like... Trees? Squirrels? 2381Yeah, it's just some woods.<o:p></o:p></p> 2382 2383<p class="MsoNormal">This is trickier when you suddenly need to improvise an 2384entire world. Yeah you've got your zero-atmosphere dusty rocks, but what about 2385when you've got a planet with a population of a billion and an exotic 2386atmosphere you don't fully understand? That's where your improv skills are 2387really put to the test.<o:p></o:p></p> 2388 2389<p class="MsoNormal">I found this to be a challenge when running a Traveller 2390sandbox. Look, I enjoy the Universal World Profile codes, but it rarely gave me 2391enough of a hook to improvise, instead relying on a good bit of prep between 2392sessions.<o:p></o:p></p> 2393 2394<p class="MsoNormal">So the plan for <i>Intergalactic</i> is to have twelve star 2395systems, each with six "worlds" which could be planets, moons, 2396stations, or weirder things. Each of these gets a two-page spread, which still 2397isn't enough to document an entire planet, but hopefully gives the Referee what's 2398needed to run things on the fly.<o:p></o:p></p> 2399 2400<p class="MsoNormal">But what about the places that <i>aren't </i>included?<o:p></o:p></p> 2401 2402<p class="MsoNormal">If you asked the same about <i>Mythic, </i>asking what 2403happens if the players wander out of the Realm, I'd give some advice about 2404pounding your fist on the giant map in the middle of the table and reminding 2405them of their oath. In essence, I don't expect the Knights of <i>Mythic 2406Bastionland</i> to go and wander off the map just for the fun of it.<o:p></o:p></p> 2407 2408<p class="MsoNormal">Put those players in a spaceship? Now there isn't really an 2409end of the map. Sure, players don't start the game with much control over where 2410the ship goes, but rest assured they'll find a way, or one day throw it all out 2411and go it alone.<o:p></o:p></p> 2412 2413<p class="MsoNormal">The stars extend beyond the home cluster, and even within 2414each of those systems there must be planets and moons that aren't written up <i>aaaaand 2415</i>even in the detailed worlds there's an entire globe of locations that could 2416be explored.<o:p></o:p></p> 2417 2418<p class="MsoNormal">The referee inside me is shaking, but I want to encourage 2419this feeling within the players.<o:p></o:p></p> 2420 2421<p class="MsoNormal">It goes back to why I'm drawn into space at all. It's being 24229 years old and unfolding this map.<o:p></o:p></p> 2423 2424<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><img height="359" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiE-OYMkeCgihMxojElOSFAhB_vRUv4Fqo6wbGlajkpJ5SKmwieqtCpcHcqxsUh_EDrMFxWHM_HdgABdEbh72eoI811gFvpAd-YBXhagALgDAbTEzSFNvl7

It's a relatively pure 2452sandbox in that you can go anywhere, and you aren't really given any goal or 2453story to follow. Generally you want to make money, improve your reputation, buy 2454a better ship.<o:p></o:p></p> 2455 2456<p class="MsoNormal">Each of those stars on the map is a system, which will 2457hopefully have orbital stations and planetary ports you can land on, do some 2458trading, pick up some odd jobs, then move on. There isn't much worth sticking 2459around for. You can't leave your ship to wander the station or visit the cities 2460looming on the horizon. While impressive for the time, the settlements 2461themselves look suspiciously small, especially when visiting earth.<o:p></o:p></p> 2462 2463<p class="MsoNormal">Still, the experience of a journey made it feel real. You 2464seamlessly take off from one planet (after requesting docking clearance, of 2465course), take the ship into orbit, set a destination in a neighbouring system, 2466jump through hyperspace, cruise over to your target planet, request docking 2467permission, and drop down into the atmosphere to set the ship down on a new 2468world. The docking doors slide open and you're transported over to one of the 2469bays before being met with the familiar screen showing your renewed options for 2470trading etc.<o:p></o:p></p> 2471 2472<p class="MsoNormal">It's kind of mundane, but it feels like travelling through a 2473real place, and the option was always there to just go and land on a random 2474patch on Mars, or load up on fuel and see how far into unoccupied space you can 2475go. There usually wasn't anything interesting to see out there, but the feeling 2476of being able to fly there was key to <i>Frontier</i>'s appeal for me.<o:p></o:p></p> 2477 2478<p class="MsoNormal">Something is lost when space games land the ship for you (<i>No 2479Man's Sky </i>at launch) limit themselves to orbital bases (<i>Elite 2480Dangerous), </i>or lack any real mundane spaceflight altogether (<i>Starfield</i>).<o:p></o:p></p> 2481 2482<p class="MsoNormal">Okay, back to TTRPGs. How to create this feeling in <i>Intergalactic 2483Bastionland </i>without melting the Referee's improv-node? That's the tricky 2484part, but I have plans. More on that another time.<o:p></o:p></p> 2485 2486<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: inherit;">--------------------------------------------------------------------------</span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;">This post was originally sent as a reward to all Patreon supporters, and is released freely on this site the week after its original publication.<br /><br />

I've found the game flows at its 2555best with 2-4 players, but getting up to 5 or more starts to raise a few 2556noticeable effects.<o:p></o:p></p><ul style="margin-top: 0cm;" type="disc"> 2557 <li class="MsoNormal"><a href="https://www.bastionland.com/2025/07/impairing-impairing.html" target="_blank">As discussed previously</a>, Knights are powerful, so this 2558 effect is compounded when you've got six of them riding into battle. With 2559 so many gambits and smites and denies they can be tough to challenge, 2560 martially. Whether this is a <i>problem</i> or not is open for debate, but 2561 it certainly creates a different feel to playing with smaller groups.<o:p></o:p></li> 2562 <li class="MsoNormal">Combat 2563 often involves everyone throwing their dice into a pool and working out 2564 what to do with their dice. The larger the group, the more chaotic and 2565 crowded this can feel, sometimes even sluggish, so I think you lose a bit 2566 of the dramatic effect it usually causes.<o:p></o:p></li> 2567 <li class="MsoNormal">With 2568 so many Knights in the group it's less appealing to have additional 2569 characters tagging along like squires or other NPCs, and they can create 2570 some interesting contrast to the Knights.<o:p></o:p></li> 2571</ul><p class="MsoNormal">So what do I recommend if you want to play with, say, a 2572company of six players?<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">First of all, you don't <i>need</i> to change anything. I 2573think the game still works, it just feels different. But if you want to try
2574something new I have two options.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b>Rookie Knights<br /> 2575</b>Everyone makes a Young Knight as normal, but apply the following changes:<o:p></o:p></p><ul style="margin-top: 0cm;" type="disc"> 2576 <li class="MsoNormal">Virtues 2577 are rolled on 2d6 instead of d6+d12<o:p></o:p></li> 2578 <li class="MsoNormal">Each 2579 combatant can only be targeted by a single gambit from any given attack, 2580 no matter how many attackers were involved.<o:p></o:p></li> 2581 <li class="MsoNormal">Bolster 2582 is the exception to the above, and can be applied multiple times to the 2583 same target.<o:p></o:p></li> 2584</ul><p class="MsoNormal">So the end result is more fragile characters with fewer 2585Feats and Gambits being thrown around in combat, while keeping those systems 2586intact.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b>Grand Company Setup<br /> 2587</b>Tear up nine scraps of paper and label them as the following:<o:p></o:p></p><ul style="margin-top: 0cm;" type="disc"> 2588 <li class="MsoNormal">3 x 2589 Knight<o:p></o:p></li> 2590 <li class="MsoNormal">3 x 2591 Squire<o:p></o:p></li> 2592 <li class="MsoNormal">3 x 2593 Raider<o:p></o:p></li> 2594</ul><p class="MsoNormal">Each player draws a random character type. Now <i>personally 2595</i>I'd rig the draw so that there's a guarantee of at least one of each type 2596to keep things interesting. So build a pool with one of each type, then 2597randomly add the other types until you've got a pool of character types equal 2598to the number of players.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b>Knights </b>roll a character as a normal.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b>Squires </b>roll a squire as detailed in the book, also <a href="https://www.bastionland.com/2025/07/d72-squires.html" target="_blank">rolling 2599here</a> to get an extra detail.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b>Raiders </b>make a character using <a href="https://www.bastionland.com/2023/11/mythic-bastionland-raider-mode.html" target="_blank">this method</a>, representing raiders who have been converted 2600to the wisdom of the seers, but have not taken the Oath. They still track Gold, 2601not Glory, but they're more inclined to mercenary work than raiding the 2602holdings of the realm.

If you 2706connect an area to a smaller area of the same colour then it absorbs that area. 2707In essence I can connect my area of 4 red blocks to your area of 3 red blocks 2708and steal it. This is very powerful, and can act as a big swing with lots of 2709beneficial side effects on my progress to victory.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">It's also one of the more complex rules. The rulebook notes 2710five main mechanics that are the ways to progress towards victory. The first 2711four each take half a page of explanation, but absorbing another area takes a 2712whole two page spread, with several examples given. It's noticeably more <i>fiddly</i> 2713than the other entries.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">After playing the game three or four times we noticed that 2714this absorption rule hadn't come up. Setting up the move is tricky and usually 2715easy for the opponent to spot it and block your efforts.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">We played some more, maybe up to ten games now, and I think 2716it's happened once? Maybe twice? The only time I remember was following a very 2717stupid move on my part, leaving a clear opening for my opponent to absorb one 2718of my areas.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">So you remove that rule, right?<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><i>(psst, don't let boardgame people hear you talking about 2719changing a Reiner Knizia rule)</i><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">No, I think the threat of a mechanic can be just as 2720impactful as seeing it come into play. It limits where I place my tiles, teases 2721me with a potentially huge swing when I'm way behind, and I can waste an 2722opponent's turn by making them respond with a purely defensive play.
2722<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Of course, this relies on the players being aware of the 2723rule. I wouldn't teach <i>Gazebo</i> and tell the other player "you can 2724absorb each others' areas but don't worry it never happens". They need to 2725know the rule to have the fear and have that fear affect their play.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Threaten them with a bad time and let the good times roll.<o:p></o:p></p><p> 2726 2727 2728 2729 2730 2731 2732 2733 2734 2735 2736 2737 2738 2739 2740 2741 2742 2743 2744 2745 2746 2747 2748 2749 2750 2751</p><p class="MsoNormal"> <span style="font-family: inherit;">--------------------------------------------------------------------------</span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;">This post was originally sent as a reward to all Patreon supporters, and is released freely on this site the week after its original publication.<br /><br />If you want to support my blog, podcasts, and video content then <a href="https://www.patreon.com/bastionland">head over to my Patreon.</a></span></p> 2752<div style='clear: both;'></div> 2753</div> 2754<div class='post-footer'> 2755<div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'> 2756<span class='post-author vcard'> 2757Posted by 2758<span class='fn' itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> 2759<meta content='https://www.blogger.com/profile/11717684225248546716' itemprop='url'/> 2760<a class='g-profile' href='https://www.blogger.com/profile/11717684225248546716' rel='author' title='author profile'> 2761<span itemprop='name'>Chris McDowall</span> 2762</a> 2763</span> 2764</span> 2765<span class='post-timestamp'> 2766at 2767<meta content='https://www.bastionland.com/2026/02/threaten-me-with-bad-time.html' itemprop='url'/> 2768<a class='timestamp-link' href='https://www.bastionland.com/2026/02/threaten-me-with-bad-time.html' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published' itemprop='datePublished' title='2026-02-25T10:28:00Z'>10:28</abbr></a> 2769</span> 2770<span class='post-comment-link'> 2771<a class='comment-link' href='https://www.bastionland.com/2026/02/threaten-me-with-bad-time.html#comment-form' onclick=''> 27722 comments: 2773 </a> 2774</span> 2775<span class='post-icons'> 2776<span class='item-control blog-admin pid-765823580'> 2777<a href='https://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=615826467198003068&postID=8473236731563400752&from=pencil' title='Edit Post'> 2778<img alt='' class='icon-action' height='18' src='https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif' width='18'/> 2779</a> 2780</span> 2781</span> 2782<div class='post-share-buttons goog-inline-block'> 2783</div> 2784</div> 2785<div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-2'> 2786<span class='post-labels'> 2787</span> 2788</div> 2789<div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-3'> 2790<span class='post-location'> 2791</span> 2792</div> 2793</div> 2794</div> 2795</div> 2796 2797 </div></div> 2798 2799 2800 <div class="date-outer"> 2801 2802<h2 class='date-header'><span>Monday, 9 February 2026</span></h2> 2803 2804 <div class="date-posts"> 2805 2806<div class='post-outer'> 2807<div class='post hentry uncustomized-post-template' itemprop='blogPost' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'> 2808<meta content='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijPLOybijoMAxJ3ZvILGuMpVGuUu093UDxaKDXay4vdd6mvuDIa88miTydxm6Y2H5_KGuQVKR3ijdt7ALRyi9a2b5BIanxmsPSdxMDOWdRw2XrRgL3QJJ_vxWypf9TUFdZVYTkkJ_YvtLt3_1eJFFPtz9hyowYFG6tnGHoFZfELa0epaAnUHyOWtnASpoO/w640-h476/Title.png' itemprop='image_url'/> 2809<meta content='615826467198003068' itemprop='blogId'/> 2810<meta content='120598739702765970' itemprop='postId'/> 2811<a name='120598739702765970'></a> 2812<h3 class='post-title entry-title' itemprop='name'> 2813<a href='https://www.bastionland.com/2026/02/intergalactic-bastionland-public.html'>Intergalactic Bastionland Public Playtest</a> 2814</h3> 2815<div class='post-header'> 2816<div class='post-header-line-1'></div> 2817</div> 2818<div class='post-body entry-content' id='post-body-120598739702765970' itemprop='description articleBody'> 2819<div class="separator" style="clear: both;

As with the other phases of the game, there are times when this will breeze past and others when it will make up a substantial part of the session.</p><p><b>Orbitals and Landings<br /></b>Each world lists six locations, and the first is always the starport. Generally a ship can only dock at orbital facilities called Orbitals. Landings are docks on the surface, relying on smaller craft to ferry crew and cargo, or an orbital transfer facility.</p><p><b>Rewards</b><br />While reprimands are always administered during transit, rewards are given immediately upon docking. If the specific reward is in doubt, roll d6.</p><p></p><ol style="text-align: left;"><li>Public Commendation - The whole crew is told what a good job you did. </li><li>The Captain’s Table - An invitation to dine with the Captain at the next opportunity. </li><li>Prize Goods - A material prize is carefully selected by your superior. </li><li>Medal - Only to be worn on ceremonial occasions. </li><li>Promotion - Rarely up to the next tier of the crew, but something to give you a little authority over your peers. </li><li>Note of Pardon - Forgiveness for a previous dereliction of duty, or held for future use.</li></ol><p></p><p><b>Portside News<br /></b>
2886Worlds are never static. Much like unresolved incidents, a roll is made when arriving in dock to check on the status of the world. Each world entry details a lingering threat, which should factor in the news. If returning to a known world, consider the problems that were established last time the ship visited the world when describing the result.</p><p><b>1:</b> Things have reached a crisis point.<br /><b>2-3:</b> Things are getting worse.<br /><b>4-5:</b> Things are steady.<br /><b>6:</b> Things have gotten slightly better.</p><p><b>Crisis Point<br /></b>When a world reaches Crisis point they may close off exports, cease all trade, or even close off to outsiders altogether. A crisis left unchecked leads to a radical change in the world, sometimes its complete destruction. </p><p><b>Duties<br /></b>Officers are expected to carry out their portside duties relating to the ship, often delegating these in part to their heads. Even if the duties are small, Officers will want to interfere in the business of their rivals, or find a way to otherwise get ahead. </p><p>The <b>Arch Merchant</b> is responsible for trading and seeking out other financial opportunities. </p><p>The <b>Marshal in Arms</b> checks the security of the world, improves their own armoury, and makes sure the locals are suitably intimidated.</p><p>The <b>Commander-at-the-Helm</b> manages the ship’s boats going out to other locations. </p><p>The <b>Mate of Papers</b> is responsible for updating all records and data relating to this world. </p><p>The <b>Peoples Executive</b> is responsible for recruiting new crewmembers and ensuring those going on shore leave behave themselves. </p><p>The <b>Technical Prime</b> acquires any parts and work that needs doing on the ship and may offer engineering services to the world. </p><p><b>Delegation<br /></b>Officers love delegating these tasks down to their heads. It’s a chance to test their capability and loyalty, and means the Officer can stay in the comfort of their quarters. These tasks may drift beyond the head’s normal sphere of responsibility, or even beyond the Officer’s own jurisdiction.</p><p><b>Portside Laws<br /></b>Most worlds have a border between port and the rest of the world, so that passing business can operate without friction.

3021It's 1981. The Roland TB-303 is a new bass synthesiser. It was designed to act as a substitute for a bass guitar player, much like a drum machine for a drummer. In 1984, after poor sales, it was taken out of production. The way you programmed sequences of notes was counterintuitive and arranging a proper multi-section song on this thing was a frustrating experience. More vitally, the sound was more angry toad than bass guitar, and many of knob settings could produce sounds so extreme that they wouldn't fit in any genre.</span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;">Some years after its discontinuation, people found a use for it <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D4yNpuQfoYI" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">doing this</a>. The cybernetic meow sound was embraced. Short, hypnotic dance loops bypassed the need for long sequences of notes and even then the fiddly programming served a purpose, nudging towards simple single note sequences with a few accents or octave leaps or untamed basslines keyed in at random and taken for their imperfections. Those wild sweeping knob settings could now be tweaked gradually or impulsively, giving long form movement to those looped sequences.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;">I bought one of the more affordable clones of this machine last year, and <a href="https://soundcloud.com/bastionland" target="_blank">when I sit down to use</a> it I create very differently than I do with other tools. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;">Yes, you can plug in an external keyboard or sequencer to bypass the annoying programming. You can sculpt a wider range of sounds than you might think, especially using external effects. Hey, you can even bypass the inconvenient machinery entirely and use one of the dozens of software clones, bending the virtual device entirely to your will. Even with just the basic device, you can learn the ways of its sequencing to make complex tracks, and hone its settings to find hidden sweet spots of subtle melodic sounds. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;">But I generally don't. When I plug it in, I smash in a few random bars of notes, blindly apply accents, glides, and octaves, and let it loop while I twist the knobs going BAAOW WAPPA BAPPA BOWA BOOOOWAPA BA BA BA WA. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;">It's not a sound I would have chosen on a more flexible device, or in the creative infinity of a digital workstation, but when I have that machine in front of me I'm drawn to it like a moth to a flame.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;"><paywall-breakpoint></paywall-breakpoint></span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;">I'm the same with RPGs. Sit me down with Traveller or 2400 and I'll run you a sci fi game, but the feel of each of those sets of tools pushes me in a slightly different direction. Of course I bring my own way of preparing and running a game, whatever the system, but the toolfeel is still there. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;">--------------------------------------------------------------------------</span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;">This post was originally sent as a reward to all Patreon supporters, and is released freely on this site the week after its original publication.<br /><br />If you want to support my blog, podcasts, and video content then <a href="https://www.patreon.com/bastionland">head over to my Patreon.</a></span></p> 3022<div style='clear: both;'></div> 3023</div> 3024<div class='post-footer'> 3025<div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'> 3026<span class='post-author vcard'> 3027Posted by 3028<span class='fn' itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> 3029<meta content='https://www.blogger.com/profile/11717684225248546716' itemprop='url'/> 3030<a class='g-profile' href='https://www.blogger.com/profile/11717684225248546716' rel='author' title='author profile'> 3031<span itemprop='name'>Chris McDowall</span> 3032</a> 3033</span> 3034</span> 3035<span class='post-timestamp'> 3036at 3037<meta content='https://www.bastionland.com/2026/01/toolfeel.html' itemprop='url'/> 3038<a class='timestamp-link' href='https://www.bastionland.com/2026/01/toolfeel.html' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published' itemprop='datePublished' title='2026-01-21T11:35:00Z'>11:35</abbr></a> 3039</span> 3040<span class='post-comment-link'> 3041<a class='comment-link' href='https://www.bastionland.com/2026/01/toolfeel.html#comment-form' onclick=''> 30428 comments: 3043 </a> 3044</span> 3045<span class='post-icons'> 3046<span class='item-control blog-admin pid-765823580'> 3047<a href='https://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=615826467198003068&postID=6189477247791300036&from=pencil' title='Edit Post'> 3048<img alt='' class='icon-action' height='18' src='https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif' width='18'/> 3049</a> 3050</span> 3051</span> 3052<div class='post-share-buttons goog-inline-block'> 3053</div> 3054</div> 3055<div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-2'> 3056<span class='post-labels'> 3057</span> 3058</div> 3059<div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-3'> 3060<span class='post-location'> 3061</span> 3062</div> 3063</div> 3064</div> 3065</div> 3066 3067 </div></div> 3068 3069</div> 3070<div class='blog-pager' id='blog-pager'> 3071<span id='blog-pager-newer-link'> 3072<a class='blog-pager-newer-link' href='https://www.bastionland.com/' id='Blog1_blog-pager-newer-link' title='Newer Posts'>Newer Posts</a> 3073</span> 3074<span id='blog-pager-older-link'> 3075<a class='blog-pager-older-link' href='https://www.bastionland.com/search?updated-max=2026-01-21T11:35:00Z&max-results=7' id='Blog1_blog-pager-older-link' title='Older Posts'>Older Posts</a> 3076</span> 3077<a class='home-link' href='https://www.bastionland.com/'>Home</a> 3078</div> 3079<div class='clear'></div> 3080<div class='blog-feeds'> 3081<div class='feed-links'> 3082Subscribe to: 3083<a class='feed-link' href='https://www.bastionland.com/feeds/posts/default' target='_blank' type='application/atom+xml'>Posts (Atom)</a> 3084</div> 3085</div> 3086</div></div> 3087</div> 3088</div> 3089<div class='column-left-outer'> 3090<div class='column-left-inner'> 3091<aside> 3092</aside> 3093</div> 3094</div> 3095<div class='column-right-outer'> 3096<div class='column-right-inner'> 3097<aside> 3098<div class='sidebar section' id='sidebar-right-1'><div class='widget LinkList' data-version='1' id='LinkList1'> 3099<h2>Games</h2> 3100<div class='widget-content'> 3101<ul> 3102<li><a href='https://freeleaguepublishing.com/shop/into-the-odd/remastered/'>Into the Odd</a></li> 3103<li><a href='https://bastionlandpress.com/products/electric-bastionland-hardback-book'>Electric Bastionland</a></li> 3104<li><a href='https://bastionlandpress.com/products/mythic-bastionland-hardback-book-plus-pdf'>Mythic Bastionland</a></li> 3105<li><a href='https://bit.ly/ibplaytest'>Intergalactic Bastionland Playtest</a></li> 3106<li><a href='https://ospreypublishing.com/uk/doomed-9781472854254/'>The Doomed</a></li> 3107<li><a href='https://bastionlandpress.com/products/mac-attack'>MAC Attack</a></li> 3108<li>
