Brothers of Man Mini Campaign - Escape From The Psiborg I.C.E. Prison #134 - Prayer Breakfast White Star Rpg Session Report 1

 So this morning we mounted a brand new White Star Galaxy edition rpg mini campaign using the White Star Blaster Bolts - RPG Omnibus. The Psiborg I.C.E. Prison #134 facility houses some of the most dangerous murderous criminals & rebels from the Psiborg conquest of this edge of the galaxy. I.C.E. stands for Incarceration, Conquest, and Elimination. The whole adventure today was based on the "Jailbreak" adventure encounter in the Blaster Bolts - RPG Omnibus

Prison #134 differs from the standard facility found in 'Jackbreak'; "Ice Prison 47-A  medium security prison on the frigid and remote planet of Ragnar, Ice Prison 47-A is a secure and remote penal facility staffed by a combination of robotic and biological security guards. The ownership of the prison is deliberately kept undefined. At the GM’s whim it could be the property of a military force, a planetary government, the galactic government, or even a criminal group that uses it as a safehouse for kidnapping victims" 
We did use a combination of 'favored' prison guards who had thier positions given to them by the psiborgs. And cybernetic A.I. guards who are extensions of the A.I. gods of the psiborgs. 

The player's PC's were getting ready to be sent to the Palladium mines on the otherside of the prison planet Tiamat. It took a huge amount of effort on thier part to get free by short circuiting thier bond cuffs and then overpowering the guards and pilot of thier shuttle. Then it was a matter of beating past the Warden planetary defense systems.  From here it was a fast hyperspace jump outta of the system!

Review & Commentary On Blaster Bolts - RPG Omnibus From Fainting Goat Games For The White Star Rpg

 The White Star Rpg always seems to be starring at me over the weekend from the shelf again. I got up mega early to meet with my players at the local diner this morning & play. And the session went well.  Discussing the Washington Sector. I was reminded of the fact that we put our old White Star rpg one shots one hundred & twenty five years in the future of the setting. Civil war has been tearing the sector apart! 

And this brings up Fainting Goat Games Blaster Bolts - Rpg Omibus. Over the last couple of years everytime I'm on Drivethrurpg Blasterbolts magazine covers is starring at me. So this morning at the egging on of our players I grabbed Fainting Goat Games Blaster Bolts - Rpg Omibus. 

And there are two reasons for grabbing this collection 1.  content that appeared in issues 1-13 of the Blaster Bolts zine featuring new material for White Star: White Box Science Fiction Roleplaying. 2. several new classes and other rules content by system author James M. Spahn. 

So while breakfast consisted of eggs & toast we were in the middle of the Second Sector Civil War. And with a boat load of adventures such as Stomp the Rock and the previews of Discordia. There's plenty of adventure fodder for the OSR DM. 
We get plenty of new PC classes as well such as advanced robot, bodyguard,cyberpilot, Novoestrela, Priviledged Doctor, & Twerg. All of these classes are actually useful for either a White Star Rpg campaign or even Stars Without Number. What the Hell is a Twerg?! Well a Twerg PC; " Tough as meteor rock and strong as a gravity well, the short and muscular, Twergs can be found traveling across the galaxy as errant transport pilots or as one of the crews of their massive flying city-ships known as citadels."
So inbetween runny eggs & two slices of toast Fainting Goat Games Blaster Bolts - Rpg Omibus actually presents a workable Battle Star errmmm Synborg Apocalypse mini-setting & the ancient connection to the star gods worked in as well! 

Is Fainting Goat Games Blaster Bolts - Rpg Omibus worth getting?! In a word Hell yes! There's a lot of material under the covers here & plenty to take into an OSR space campaign. It could be especially useful for an on going White Star campaign or any OSR Science Fiction rpg really.
