The wagon of bands for September 8th - inspirational media (in this case, for Lanthanide Horizon). Like weirdwriter I will be writing this in 15 minutes, though in my case that's because if I think about it for too long I will cringe right out the back of my own head. | Archon's Court

The "gunsmith's society" is an occult ritual organization within the clan-ship society of the Navigators, specializing in military leadership, mutual aid, and mediation across the lines of the three Navigator "assemblies".| Archon's Court

You walk the path to Vyeku Proxy Tekha, member of the nomenklatura, the contending-class. You walk it first in trepidation, then in terror, then in resolve - your tin fingertip-covers click against the handle of your knife. He deserves it.| Archon's Court
Player characters in the upcoming Navigator hexcrawl campaign start "grounded" - their sept-vessel shattered and their clan left to scrape out a life pinned to the earth. This provides them with a medium-term goal that creates a real sense of progression - reclaiming the Black Season (which grounded septs have to spend holding their breath in an airlocked camp), expanding the world, and entering them into the endless knife-fight of Assembly politics.| Archon's Court
Navigators are a foraging society in the megastructure of Lanthanide Horizon - their sept-vessels, each holding an extended family, wander out from their holy sites in their home cylinder to trade, raid, and gather from their neighbors. | Archon's Court

From time to time, the gift economy appears in RPGs - but it’s a niche enough topic that I can probably drag some(?) uncommon advice out of it, after using it in one of my most recent campaigns, set among the Sustainer Cells of the megastructure. | Archon's Court
This post has taken me just about forever. It is, theoretically, a prologue to a regional hexcrawl - the drought-struck tunnels of Component Transit - but, given how this went, I suspect it'll be a while before then. | Archon's Court
Since posting about them I managed to start, turn to despise, and then end a play-by-post campaign among the sept-vessels of the Navigators. This is a bit of a slushpost - ships, items, lore, and procedures dredged from the ruins. It is long, rambling, and poorly organized, and that's exactly what you deserve. Suffer.| Archon's Court
