Tales of the Space Princess - AP Report: Space Port Hassle

Image
A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Starship Yesterday I finally got around to running a session of John Stater's Tales of the Space Princess for my wife, daughter (10) and son (8). Although my son lost interest about a third of the way through (sitting still was not going well), in other regards it was probably among the best games I'd ever run. My wife laughed probably the hardest I've heard in a quite awhile. Player characters had been generated months in advance.  They included: Chedna   a Human Psychic (Wife) Star Llama a Llamoid Alien Scoundrel (Daughter) Fire the Freeze or Freeze the Fire  a sentient,  chair-sized,  burning block of ice, also a Star Warrior (Son) The scenario itself was created as an afterthought to a pirate base raid adventure I'd written notes for earlier.  But after detailing how the pirate scenario would run, I realized it might be best to have an earlier scenario to establish some key setting details and background.
