240125 The State of Affairs

Welcome to L5! Mind the cables, we're still installing things.

Seriously, it's in progress. There is quite a bit to do, but also quite a bit is done. With the help of our amazing playtesters, we've tested the system (still are). The big job is creating the book that you will soon be able to read for yourself and use to create your own scifi adventures on the L5 station.

Character creation - locked! It's been tested, refined, tested again, and we can definitively say that the character creation chapter is done. You can choose from nine species to create your first character. And you can do it in less than ten minutes!

The Station - in progress. The book is packed with maps and other details, most of it located in the station, as that is the setting, the world, the heart of the game. In the book, you will find Habitat Two (Level Five) which consists of 13 section, each with multiple decks. Hab Two houses hundreds of beings, shops and services, all mapped out, ready for you to explore. How does docking work? How does currency work? How do you get around the station? All of this is covered in detail.

Combat - locked! This is the most dynamic, fast paced combat system you have ever seen. Emphasis on fast. We've made a system that allows for a great degree of freedom and options to do different things while keeping the turns short.

Running a Game - in progress. What good is all the information if you can't figure out how to use it? We explain how to set up a scenario, how to run characters through encounters of various types, all the things you need to know to get started.

Forms - in progress. Regardless of what you are doing, running a game, playing a character, designing a scenario, you're going to need forms to record information. In this section, we have provided all of the forms you need to create your campaign in the L5 system.

Scenarios (3) - in progress. Three main scenarios are provided to get you right into the action! Each scenario contains maps of all the relevant locations, stat blocks for all the NPCs you can encounter, details on every step of the scenario.

Side Quests (TBD) - in progress. Side quests are smaller adventures that can be dropped into the main scenarios, or your own campaigns, to add a bit of variety to the main storyline.

And that's it - so far. We'd love to give you a release date, but we'll hold off until we can definitely meet the date we give. All we can say for sure right now is 'soon'.
