['Nathan Burgoine · Rating 4 out of 5]

I'm not sure how many of these adventures I'll actually use at the gaming table, but that said, the structure, the examples of challenges, and the various NPCs, ships, and crunch of the books make for a handy resource for running adventures for your own, frankly.

Currently, I'm planning to drop "A Cure Worse than the Disease" and "Drawing Deeply from the Well" into my Shackleton Expanse Campaign, and "A Cry From the Void" into my almost-entirely-crewed-by-Trill ship's series. That's three out of ten, but there are components of others I can see importing into other episodes piecemeal.

I like the ideas of "No Good Deed," and "Plato's Cave," but can't imagine running "Footfall" (that one in particular feels like a minefield of issues waiting to happen with contemporary players even though the setting is the far-future).
