“A Discovery in Water” is a Standard One-Shot/ Playtest session in the Cortex Basic (a Cortex Prime hack), led by Scallops

  • Indecisionist Productions (map)

Lucentis-Beta is a floating research station on a water world at the far end of Frontier space. There's a bio lab and a mineral prospecting lab, crewed by techs and scientists. There are also engineers, maintenance techs, security, etc. You are one of them.

The 12 h shifts are draining, and there isn't a lot else to do, so you pray for something to break the boredom. And what do you know, tonight your prayers will be answered.

  • This game will be great if you like the movies Alien and Underwater, the RPGs Hostile and Mothership.

  • The game runner will provide characters.

  • This system is so level-less and class-less, it's almost a Marxist utopia!

  • Basic instructions and pregens available here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1uPPjQAavpKOxjxmWWoaEH7WdfVgnQU1J/view?usp=drive_link‍ ‍

  • This session will be especially good for new players. New players are welcome.

  • The game runner has run this game a few times now.
