Re: The Expanse (AGE)
Ships Of The Expanse is allegedly due in early March, and I have the rest of the books in the game line. There are ten (10!) published adventures at the moment. The six from Abzu's Bounty can easily build off the one from the core book, while the other three (from the quickstart, the Game Master's Kit, and a standalone) are otherwise unconnected. The game defaults to a setting between the first two novels, but we aren't necessarily limited to that. We don't even need to hew too closely to canon, for what it's worth. If someone thinks it would be fun to play a Babylon 5-style telepath, there's plenty in Modern AGE to fill that out. Prefer to play the crew of Rocinante? File off the serial numbers, reskin all the characters, and rename the ship Cervantes? Or does something else entirely wax your tadpole? We can borrow from Modern AGE as well as all manner of gritty sci-fi.
By way of warning, I tend to set my default game ratings to Adult. Not for anything more explicit than vulgar language and those very occasional moments when players experience a measure of their characters' discomfiture, more to ensure that everyone at the table is of a suitable level of emotional maturity.
