This one is really only for the UK/European types, unless some of you fancy a long trip.... 
BITS will be running the first five games in our grand adventure series at Conception ( http://www.conceptionuk.org/ ) from 30th Jan to 3rd Feb this year. They are:
Adventure 1 - 'In Search of Angels' starts with the characters
recently mustered-out after the Fifth Frontier War and cooling their
heels at Adabicci/Lunion in the Spinward Marches. Following a job
offer they travel to Olympia/Lunion where they find the ship they are
seeking lying crashed in shallow water. They recover the ship and are
offered a job taking it back to Mora, trading along the way. Of
course, nothing ever goes completely smoothly…
Adventure 2 - 'The Rock' takes place entirely in the Zaibon/Lunion
system and starts when the players' ship receives a mayday call from a
stranded belter. Following a lead from the belter and some sensor
readings takes them to an apparently abandoned mining station where
the baddies are hiding out.
Adventure 3 – `Ice Work' is set in the Derchon/Lunion system, a dismal
rockball with no redeeming features. The characters stumble upon an
attempt to steal a hand computer which has information leading to a
hidden treasure. No, it's not Treasure Island in space, but there
might be some opportunities for swashbuckling, zero-g style.
Adventure 4 - `A Ghost from the Past' is set on Lunion/Lunion and
gives the players their first glimpse at what is going on behind the
scenes (although they may be too busy to make sense of it
immediately). The characters are relaxing and taking in the various
delights of startown, but enemies they don't know they have are
closing in and they have to find out what is going on and how they can
get away. Fortunately, after the events of adventure 3, they have some
new friends in high places – if they can only survive long enough for
them to get involved…
After the chaotic events in adventure 4, an attempt on the character's
lives opens adventure 5 -`Misjump!'. They are flung off course and
have to work out where they are and how they are going to repair their
ship. Fortunately the Imperial Navy needs their help and they are able
to repay the favour. They also foil some pirates and find some more
clues to the big plot. Long-time Traveller players may even briefly
revisit an old friend…
Ask at the BITS stand or see the website for details of which slots the games are running in. Hope to see you there.
