Olde Phoenix Inn

These write ups are a tiny patch on the inns you're making. I thought I was going to have to rebuild the Arkiri. Turnhs out Richard Merk was using a similar description for his bad guys in his old stories. I had an idea, but he said he had no problems with the Arkiri as written Which means I get to ...

Yo’esiy: ":You two are full of questions. We were on an interdiction to stop a power hungry fool from committing a bad idea. We ended up in the land of Eternal Light, which was a good thing as we found a crashed ship crew beating off the dinosaurs. We carefully called our ship in, avoiding the Sun ...

You do over write your setting and then feel compelled to follow that. Setting is the handmaiden of the story, not the other way around.

USS Gra’van’augh A Xnida patrol cruiser. The Engines, weapons and power systems are copied from Starfleet systems. The hull itself shows Federation influence. It's patently a Starfleet ship. But it's an idiomatic design. The Xnida are bigger than most humanoids. The deck heights are higher, the spac...

There's also a Ferengi trade house operating out of PCOF, with their own support system for Ferengi shipping. The Ferengi and Arkiri LOVE negotiating a very precise, very finely shaved contract. It would make everyone else's eyes bleed. They speak each other's language. Math, contracts and greed.

Yo’esiy: "Sure, I might have a few myself. I don't see many green people." When talking the beak does not move. Just open slightly. (Borrowing from me) H1 watches the mouth and tongue carefully. I do not understand how avians get the noises they get out of their faces. I find it fascinating. L1: "T...
