A stunned audience watches as an underclasser warrior in the Alhira arena howls and leaps into an observation balcony, clawing at the throat of noble patriarch Thornpaw Whitestar. The gladiator is quickly cut down by Whitestar’s bodyguards. But it turns out that was just a diversion for the handful of underclassers who pour out of…

WILMINGTON, NORTH CAROLINA – Two decades ago, Billy Truman’s younger brother, Coswell, launched aboard the Pinnacle from the Consortium Orbital Spacedock on a mission from which he didn’t expect to return. Now comes a message from the Pinnacle – presumably in text and audio, sources say – with the seemingly simple message: “They are coming.”…
Surprisingly, James McCrane begins to regain consciousness. Sort of. Everything feels strange. Sight isn’t really sight. Hearing as well. Everything is simply … awareness. He has a body, but that feels strange as well. Stronger, larger, but also…. he might feel as if he is not quite alone within it. As James slowly comes around,…
Shortly after the exercise aboard the Rucker, Ensign Armand Levante reports to the lieutenant: “We’ve received orders from General Avocet on Earth, sir.” He transmits the data to Thrum’s PDA. The message reads: “Lieutenant, we’re overdue a report from a civilian survey ship – the Martinette. Her flight plan was filed with the Rucker six…
Writing about my past tendencies to slaughter the occasional character back in the day and thinking about my desire to take OtherSpace truly back to basics got me wondering: maybe we should just abandon the premise of a stats/skills system. Eliminate dice. No rolls. Just see where the narrative rolls and let the players and…

Okay so I’ve not much in the way of good pickup lines, but I have enclosed for your amusement some rather lovely relationship-related FAILS on the parts of my characters:
“Yes, I have been in some wonderfully shitty relationships where kissing and other such intimacies did occur before things went ass-up, thank you very much, Tam,” Alhambra ‘retorts’ with another yawn. “And whoever the fuck says it’s better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all I think is full of shit. Just sayin’. And yeah as much as I’d like havin’ me some kind of happy whutever, if wishes were fishes we’d all be fat. I don’t meet people. People meet me. An’ then they either trick me into thinking they’s the right one or they go and fuck off outta my life before I can find out if they in fact -was- the right one.” She makes a motion generally associated with male self-amusement. “An’ that would be why I don’t wanna go to muhfuckin’ hookup cruises.”
Then we’ve got Leucohyle, who couldn’t read an innuendo if it came with instructions:
Majors sips his drink and glances Leu over for a long moment. “Hmm well I do believe we have a deal now.” He muses to the woman. A sly smile creases his lips. “Care to come by for tea from time to time luv?”
Leucohyle looks up from her rapid-movement scrutiny of the Psi Blocker. “I I already come here for tea from time to time.”
“Is that so? You must certainly ask for me. I could use proper company from time to time.” Majors replies.
“Speaking of which, I I haven’t gotten my tea nor my scone yet. You you may want to see to that,” Leucohyle pipes, apparently doing a very poor job at reading the sly smile.
Then, well, there’s Joca. Joca really doesn’t ‘pick up’, per se, it’s an intricate combination of body language, pheromones, and Eurotrash that brings a particular demographic of boys to the proverbial yard. If I gave it away, she’d probably shank me in the night. But here are a few of her… best?
“I like Timmie. Come. I know good place for se drink.”
“Oh yes,” she finally purrs. “I know ‘ow to make se booty call.”
“You are familiar wis se revenge sex?”
She sets a hand on her hip. “Okay,” she says, darting her tongue over a gold-backed canine tooth, “Try me.”
