According to his blog;"Yep, I'm back at it again.  <a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1575519826/girls-gone-rogue">Here</a> is my latest Kickstarter project <b>Girls Gone Rogue</b>.  It's a companion volume to <b>Alpha Blue</b>, filled with tables galore and fleshed-out adventures! If you enjoy sex comedies and vintage sci-fi from the 60's, 70's, and 80's, this is your lucky day."<br /><br /><a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1575519826/girls-gone-rogue">BACK IT RIGHT HERE </a><br /><br /><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEif-59h4qjc9EzpvvDTKikt3ieirs2fAE1G8MmPIEgBeQIVxGAQrS4GqBT0EC7PNnsHuBfsmO3ZQZlRVnwiu7ZqPQYPYPdu98EZertjGZSetstekHZMEW2jsTV6af0PlmDrRDV-k3ySaPI/s640/Front+Cover+r1.jpg" width="494" /><br /><br />The basic mission adventure goes something; "Basically, a sex-bot by the name of Ilsa SS has gone berserk and is killing high-ranking officials of the Federation.  PCs are "persuaded" to seek and destroy her.  Everything else flows from there or is some kind of unrelated side-adventure." So what we're looking at is a kitchen sink adventure approach which given the number of tables and ideas here could be an adventure that is slightly different each and every time you run it. Alpha Blue is about as adult and non politically correct as you can get and given the style of the other Venger Satanis products  Girls Gone Rogue isn't going to be any different in that regard. <br /><br /><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBBg-Di8POEeK2VzWv_8UKhiCYWVB041Y6ZypwLPVuPuW9HjX62TcF4XmLueSwLHxXvAXjV9jOheqWIshEfVO6zbtx3-WNV9A8MOE7ltJSQ_4ywZJGHs5bQLfFvywNp48OjqAdz5jQRDE/s640/Alpha+artwork.jpg" width="450" /><br />"Bubba Fatt's junkyard"<br /><br />So what we're looking at is a mini adventure campaign in the spirit of the Outer Presence and Alpha Blue. I'm going to be happy to see this project funded and supported.I'd be interested to see what wild and woolly things that Venger is cooking up for this upcoming product. But it has me thinking what would I add into this mix? Maybe a D6 random encounter table of 'space scum' and 'not so squeaky clean space heroes & adventurers' <br /><br />Space Scum is the general term for the side kicks, weirdos, mutants, and all around disgusting little cretins who seem to attach themselves to star ship crews and act as NPC henchmen. They have perhaps 1d4 minor abilities and more then slightly disturbing hobbies . They act as hirelings and henchmen with a passion for wanton destruction and weird deviant behaviors. Space Scum gain +1 on Strength, and a +2 on all checks involving alien technologies, torture devices and mad science technologies. </span><br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> <span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfcFwV28SO1bTyu7djU_p-V04GrIV2UmuyUVMgOJ7ZsH3Ph9aHa8hTknKmVG9McYhWljWB2f9al01yiowDigNwa855ydO4260Ph0KbxIf2OFuX84IEWUDYtYDhx5Sbl5zlcJ177wEYBd8/s1600/StrangeStories.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfcFwV28SO1bTyu7djU_p-V04GrIV2UmuyUVMgOJ7ZsH3Ph9aHa8hTknKmVG9McYhWljWB2f9al01yiowDigNwa855ydO4260Ph0KbxIf2OFuX84IEWUDYtYDhx5Sbl5zlcJ177wEYBd8/s400/StrangeStories.jpg" width="281" /></a></span></div> <span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /><br /><u><b>1d6 Random Space Scum Encounter Table </b></u></span><br /> <ol> <li><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Belraglak Miatugolrgimo is a small and thin wart covered little piece of space trash that drifted in on the solar winds. He's served emperors, space tyrants, dictators, adventurers, and heroes alike. He has 1d6 minor mutations and is somewhat of an adventurer and thief in his own right. He carries a blaster and has a mad scientist tool kit, on the side he works for several slaver outfits and isn't above turning over a party to his investor friends for a quick blue buck </span></li> <li><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> Eglroturo The Wicked is a gill man boot licker and weirdo who collects the lungs,eyes and genitals of his victims. He works for the highest bidder and is a competent mad scientists in his own right. He loathes adventurers and yet works with them when he has to. He is currently between jobs and on Alpha Blue getting laid. </span></li> <li><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Kangurgw The Mutated is a nine foot tall giant from Thule whose distinctive tiger like  body and skin pattern has made him a target of bullies since he was a child. He was toughened by combat and violence yet he's also one of the most dangerous bio geneticists and authorities on mad science as you will meet. He's a dangerous combination body guard and spacer scum who works for both heroes and vile villains. His sexual deviance makes Alpha Blue a prime stop for his 'needs' whatever those are. </span></li> <li><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Robarncagw The Wilde Man of Shatha Eight - Part eight foot tall hair ball and cannabel of humanoid species. The wilde man is a technician of incredible complex traps and mechanisms, he loves to construct diabolical traps to catch, as well as  feast on thieves and adventurers. His other past times are spent on Alpha Blue. He's considered a zeta level threat in the Federation and has two death sentences in various systems. He loves to gamble and spend his earnings, he's often between jobs on Blue. </span></li> <li><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Carotharorguro The Clever - Also known as Carotharorguro The Meaningless this weird little man is looks as if he walked out of a horror film from Earth's Forties but he's one of the best mad scientist's and philosopher's you're bound to meet. His problem is that he constantly mutters to himself about his next mission and the ramifications of his place in an uncaring universe. There are several adventuring parties who have committed suicide after being with him for six months or more in space. Many adventurers use his services sparingly even though he's one of the best in the mad science and lost technology game. </span></li> <li><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Drianaurund The Wrong Headed - Is an eight foot tall incredibly well muscled man with the head of a Deep One that was a part of a teleporter accident. Drianaurund used to be a barbarian warrior of incredible renown but has since gained the alien insights of the Deep One scientist after their merging. He is a wiz at forbidden or weird elder technologies and artifacts, but his deeply disturbing sexual behaviors have made him a being to be avoided. That being said he is the go to fish being for all things elder god on Alpha Blue. </span></li> </ol> </div> <div style="text-align: left;"> <span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">When it comes to adventurers and heroes on Alpha Blue there are a number of cretins who have over the years passed themselves off as space heroes of the highest order. Nothing could be further from the truth. Sure they've got the square jaw, quick reflects, gimmicks, and a flashy space craft. These 'not so squeaky clean space heroes & adventurers' gain +2 on charisma and intelligence and have 1d200 blue bucks to spend on equipment but they also often have a 20% chance of having a tarnished reputation in any system that they go adventuring in. Alpha Blue often has three of these slime of the space ways waiting in the wings to seize any mercenary opportunities that come along. </span></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> <span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrdhDBHXUa1H9wk2_Lbc9SFQqdbV2MIix4lMh-8fbbLZ0VpkPhTuwdWbsaKKupZYsiXWmUbJpiHDlLtj7R91pv2z91tnb_XoH2K_lGOtaH3-rj7uPh5qlDP462YF1o-Lhc5NUpd8nUvEk/s1600/%2528PlanetStories1944Oct.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrdhDBHXUa1H9wk2_Lbc9SFQqdbV2MIix4lMh-8fbbLZ0VpkPhTuwdWbsaKKupZYsiXWmUbJpiHDlLtj7R91pv2z91tnb_XoH2K_lGOtaH3-rj7uPh5qlDP462YF1o-Lhc5NUpd8nUvEk/s400/%2528PlanetStories1944Oct.JPG" width="278" /></a></span></div> <div style="text-align: left;"> </div> <div style="text-align: left;"> <span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /><u><b>1d6 Random 'Not So Squeaky <br />Clean Space Heroes & Adventurers' Encounter Table </b></u></span><br /> <ol> <li><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Rex Niabelothali Of The Interstellar Legion - Rex is a true blue space pimp of the highest order and opportunist whose got a gambling problem & runs the SSC Silver Vulture as a ship of fortune. He's also got six wives in nine systems who know each other and run an assassin's guild just to kill him and his crew. He also supplies slavers with adventurers when and where he can as well as taking them on jobs for everything their worth. He does however have twisted sense of honor and will stay bought as a contractor. </span></li> <li><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Glauldurcazg The Slug is a mutant slug who only wishes to be a hero but has become one of the most dangerous psychopathic killers this side of a certain Federation captain. He's also found himself in charge of a crew of space pirates and other scum who have set him up as their straw man interstellar crime lord captain. What no one knows is that Glauldurcazg is actually quite good at being evil and dangerous over the years and the stupid act is wearing thin. He uses Alpha Blue as part cover and part opportunity in waiting. The dope ring he heads operates out of the back of two rooms there. He's willing to help anyone for a price sometimes it happens to be their brain. </span></li> <li><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Thavanglandulk The Man Of Action - Thavanglandulk is your cut and coffed space hero straight out the Seventies science fiction television shows of old Earth. With a dashing space crew and ever revolving group of female side kicks, he's the guy you call to be rescued and romanced. He's even got an eight hundred space phone number, but this is a man of action on retainer. With over a thousand crimes to his name and two murders of major figures of interstellar space. Thavanglandulk is actually a cynic and mercenary of the highest order who exploits every single life form he comes across. </span></li> <li><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Uglalkogorae Princess of Space is one of the most dangerous shape shifting  assassins to ever cross swords with Federation authorities. The problem is she doesn't actually remember who or what she orginally was. She's be operating in space for eons and money, power, fame, has always been hers. Operating the USS Golden Falcon Uglalkogorae is a force to be reckoned with but whose side is she on? She doesn't even know herself but she's prone to acts of cold and calculated evil from time to time then there's the matter of the occasional bouts of black wizardry and dark magick. </span></li> <li><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Vavan Of Elormonthan Six - Former milk maid and farmer, this space heroine has grown into one of the most dangerous and wanton space pirates around. She hand picks her crew from among the lesser dregs of Alpha Blue and uses them in many ways for six to eight tours aboard her ship 'The Black Wave', many don't return from her adventures. There always seem to be more and she uses her missions as cover for campaigns against a number of Alpha Blue factions but why isn't clear. Some dark and sinister force drives her on the space winds and she always willing to take the coin of certain fools. </span></li> <li><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Cabavazgorint The Brave is a true blue hero always willing to help those in need and dire circumstances unless your human in which case his fees are 1999 plus taxes per hour plus expenses. The USS Capitalist is his ship of choice and he sails the space ways looking for illicit opportunities to exploit humans in every way he can. The green skinned thing assumes the form of humans as a mockery of them and acts like comic book hero while collecting money and serving his dark gods. Every ninth or tenth mission on of his charges dies in a fiery explosion in space as a sacrifice to the black and unholy star gods that he serves. </span></li> </ol> </div> </div> <div style='clear: both;'></div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'> <span class='post-author vcard'> Posted by <span class='fn' itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <meta content='https://www.blogger.com/profile/11243274667834930867' itemprop='url'/> <a class='g-profile' href='https://www.blogger.com/profile/11243274667834930867' rel='author' title='author profile'> <span itemprop='name'>Needles</span> </a> </span> </span> <span class='post-timestamp'> at <meta content='http://swordsandstitchery.blogspot.com/2016/01/commentary-on-venger-satanis-girls-gone.html' itemprop='url'/> <a class='timestamp-link' href='http://swordsandstitchery.blogspot.com/2016/01/commentary-on-venger-satanis-girls-gone.html' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published' itemprop='datePublished' title='2016-01-29T15:42:00-08:00'>3:42 PM</abbr></a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> <a class='comment-link' href='http://swordsandstitchery.blogspot.com/2016/01/commentary-on-venger-satanis-girls-gone.html#comment-form' onclick=''> No comments: </a> </span> <span class='post-icons'> <span class='item-control blog-admin pid-1389871235'> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=7672684189982389944&postID=6982586623327475536&from=pencil' title='Edit Post'> <img alt='' class='icon-action' height='18' src='https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif' width='18'/> </a> </span> </span> <div class='post-share-buttons goog-inline-block'> <a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-email' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=7672684189982389944&postID=6982586623327475536&target=email' target='_blank' title='Email This'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Email This</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-blog' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=7672684189982389944&postID=6982586623327475536&target=blog' onclick='window.open(this.href, "_blank", "height=270,width=475");

Maybe because he's named it after The Satisfiers of Alpha Blue<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> </span>which is one of the early Eighties exploitative wave of porn films. Don't check that particular film out unless of course your a completest. But I digress from the excellent product that Alpha Blue appears to be shaping up to. This is the Blue Flamingo a ship that appears to be straight out of a Seventies space opera. </span></span><br /> <span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Love the design of the ship and the details of it. You can see more below in the play test that Venger ran. <br /><br /><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXK37m34M6cG-IGsvCajJ4kLNQXMjXkyyw6btcNj91A3H8BJ9B7_nO5sHPJP4RVHoO_YKiX6fFN2zsDIWKp7q__cXYe5QZ27WsZ_mi2Htwqp3-oKn6tKs01TBWBG2iw0zPxB6LCUiRLXE/s400/DSC00574%25281%2529.JPG" width="400" /><br /><br />The Blue Flamingo is only a small part of the Alpha Blue experience, besides the space hookers, questionable morals, weird experiences there are some fantastic maps that have been revealed on the play test table. <a href="http://monkeyblooddesign.co.uk/">Monkey Blood Designs</a> does some incredible work and I love what I'm seeing here. <br /><br /><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgm2NDkWAxClcujXgS6xa9jwDVdXEbkpaGxMUwCEbpc-Idd-CqBzEkpr052YO_Mwp7q8_aLuWiKAf5uwMi224we6Ry0N1U3K387nN3kUCD58FyPM6dNoPUAVnvcdyKdXYhrkYKDsLE_nbU/s640/Blue+Flamingo+Alpha+Blue.jpg" width="360" /></span></span><br /> <h3 class="zi"> <span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Tim Virnig recent post about Alpha Blue was very interesting and peaked my attention span; </span><br /><span style="font-weight: normal;">"This Saturday I am excited to play a beta-test run by <span class="proflinkWrapper"><span class="proflinkPrefix">+</span><a class="proflink aaTEdf" href="https://plus.google.com/116291271643055553670">Venger Satanis</a></span> using his new Alpha Blue setting.  Venger said he put together a bunch of new random tables that are taking GONZO to a new level. " The pictures that I saw from the play test did not disappoint. </span><span style="font-weight: normal;">Alpha Blue is  as big as a city, so there's no shortage of wild escapades, interesting characters, lucrative opportunities, and naked throbbing pleasure.  Plus, there will be plenty of scenario seeds fleshed out for planet-side shenanigans.  And after seeing some of the photos I can honestly see the potential of this product as part of an on going campaign. </span><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkeiCIWvyvq3aRWIMrlVEwKUrZJglOK5X5CuYtqpHD2N94I-uqCZSw61X5bcd52dxsleNHrCGvpYGxGqashwGuSaKAftsa63sc_GA3sZ4MIxvm4-y996nOhyphenhyphenUuoy_UWnrn9PPBAQikrB4/s640/Map.jpg" width="360" /></span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></h3> <br /> <span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I can see Alpha Blue being a major jump off point for many OSR retrolclone games such as <a href="http://www.rpgnow.com/product/148169/White-Star-White-Box-Science-Fiction-Roleplaying-Swords--Wizardry">White Star</a> or even <a href="http://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/93802/Xplorers-RPG">X plorers rpg</a>, or<a href="http://www.bedroomwallpress.com/p/hulks-and-horrors.html"> Hulks and Horrors </a><br />The backdrop of Alpha Blue makes it easily insertable into your favorite<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> setting</span> even <span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">a<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">s </span></span>a back door into the interstellar landscape.

" its easy to see how this floating palace of flesh and sin could be a prime point for sci fi action, and to separate your PC's from their hard earned coin. <br /><br /><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqWjYXlDXHTw1c-pQLIcN4cJ7eYVu2RiZH9yEP-QY5mW5qSO5i15bSYCFDC23nmekYQYy7yozLgtPKgoPHiIUkGcMQUBMCifD_SGe8syNZkBK9qauYGXttMhIrQZyuTTVNHSss-cEftrc/s640/15+-+1.jpg" width="358" /><br /><br />So here's some of the stats on the maps and diagrams  for both the Blue Flamingo and Alpha Blue itself according to Monkey Blood Designs "<br />Venger has used then in action, and they are now available to Kickstarter backers from the KS update.<br />Available in 600dpi files that will plot BIG.... that spaces tation will plot at 300dpi to 34"W x 44"H" <br /><br />Workflow notes:<br />The background trace was built in Visio.<br />This was plotted to suit 17" x 22" paper size.<br />Inkwork was traced on the lightbox.<br />Inkwork was then scanned at 17" x 22" size<br />Scan was pulled into Photoshop where coloration and effects were added." <br /><img border="0" height="301" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikeuu9IGq8SNb1mhJAERpD8VnY0i1kTHafYKO1h55TBwCzv6sKviv0IDcJ_954i5JHanbWh49ya-E-isZ2udR2WPgQkKDfqJOnkwytb36uVGnFMmQYMOYKol9-CzUxeSfHECxWyI0ujAg/s400/extract.png" width="400" /><br /><br />Given how Alpha Blue is such a draw as a location I can see this being added into an existing campaign to help flesh out some of the more interesting bits of interstellar adventure with a Venger Satanis twist. Venger has a proven track record with the gonzo and this should be a pretty damn interesting, sleazy, and twisted book. He's got a proven track record delivering the goods time and again. His influences are pretty well evident in even this small reveal of Alpha Blue. I really do envy the play testers. Some of the influences also reveal some of the possible OSR lead ins that he's got going to be putting into the background of Alpha Blue <br />;these include;" classic sci-fi TV and film inspiration to see me through... such as Blake's 7, (vintage) Doctor Who and Star Trek, Star Wars, Ice Pirates, Heavy Metal, Thundarr the Barbarian, Starchaser: the Legend of Orin, Flash Gordon, Blade Runner, Buck Rogers, Battlestar Galactica, Dune, and dozens more.

Given the influences in Alpha Blue ( taken from the<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Satisfiers_of_Alpha_Blue"> Satisfiers of Alpha Blue</a>), "Aside from my imagination, I'll be relying on classic sci-fi TV and film inspiration to see my through... such as Blake's 7, (vintage) Doctor Who and Star Trek, Star Wars, Ice Pirates, Heavy Metal, Thundarr the Barbarian, Starchaser: the Legend of Orin, Flash Gordon, Blade Runner, Buck Rogers, Battlestar Galactica, Dune, Saturn 3, Woody Allen's Sleeper, and a dozen more." What actual use are space brothels? I've used brothels as meeting points for adventurers in science fiction and science fantasy pieces for years. Basically these places can operate as a one stop adventurers point for all kinds of adventure hooks. From a place where bounty hunters can collect a target for a reward to a place where information is brought & sold to the obvious use. Brothels in space and planet side can serve a wide range of actual applications. The 'Needwant' from the recently canceled Defiance was a major focal point of the city in that television show but wasn't the only one from books, film and television. Spider Callahan's 'Lady Sally's' serves a major point in his novels and refers to the employees as 'artists' and their regulars as clients. Given the time of year, 'the Comstack' brothel from 'True Blood'  on HBO from the fifth season has a certain flare to it. Mrs.Palm's place from Terry Pratchett 's Discworld also has some interesting clients and story hooks to it. For a real spin on the space brothel or a sub genre there's the holo brothel from Babylon Five's 'River of Souls' stand alone movie which had a very dangerous and dark purpose besides stealing a person's look. Given Deep Space Nine revolutionized the holo brothel by making it far more accessible to the main stream public & creating yet another element for Star Trek's writers to play with an adventure element. Is it really any wonder that the holographic bits and pieces easily lend themselves to all kinds of science fantasy and science fiction hi jinks. Holograms in the Star Trek universe are as much NPC's as they are adventure opportunities. A fact that's been floating around ever since Star Trek first introduced the holo deck in the Star Trek cartoon. From 'Firefly' we get Nandi's shuttle and her profession plays a central role in the show's plot. <br />   Which brings up one of the facts about Alpha Blue not only is this pleasure palace in space but an adventure location unto itself. Described as a "now decommissioned, Alpha Blue is something akin to an interstellar whore house or "love boat", drifting from planet to planet, acquiring new talent, clients, and security.  It's as big as a city, so there's no shortage of wild escapades, interesting characters, lucrative opportunities, and naked throbbing pleasure.  Plus, there will be plenty of scenario seeds fleshed out for planet-side shenanigans. " We are essentially talking about giving the DM cart blanche for adventure hooks, plot links, and even entire adventures. Alpha Blue is the quintessential adventurer's dirty little secret. I can already see this being part Las Vegas in space meets adventurers R& R location on acid in a good way. <br /><img border="0" height="299" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7iN6WRsd4XC5d7GGj75oJrv9hXIe2BDyIzXpBqdCSHbCinEgFWI2autwi1dGcrVHe-puml8V8aNP5XU3nDQPc_qn3biadPZ5cqdUTOAG6wzCqAf9aorIUJ6aevlLMzxsustn_V9kHn-w/s400/Flagmingo.jpeg" width="400" /><br /> <br />These places provide the DM with ample opportunity for NPC creation interaction, adventure hooks, a place where those rumors get started and passed round. Even a place where weird or interesting items, treasure or equipment might be bartered for to pay off bills, get a bit of extra scratch and cash, and as a place to introduce the latest scandal rocking the cosmos allowing for even more old school space action to come the PC's ways. As I said there's a myriad of uses for the space brothel and Alpha Blue looks like just the place to help satisfy a DM's itch for an old school space brothel with a twist. </span></span><br /></div> </div> <div style='clear: both;'></div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'> <span class='post-author vcard'> Posted by <span class='fn' itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <meta content='https://www.blogger.com/profile/11243274667834930867' itemprop='url'/> <a class='g-profile' href='https://www.blogger.com/profile/11243274667834930867' rel='author' title='author profile'> <span itemprop='name'>Needles</span> </a> </span> </span> <span class='post-timestamp'> at <meta content='http://swordsandstitchery.blogspot.com/2015/10/less-then-seventy-two-hours-till-venger.html' itemprop='url'/> <a class='timestamp-link' href='http://swordsandstitchery.blogspot.com/2015/10/less-then-seventy-two-hours-till-venger.html' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published' itemprop='datePublished' title='2015-10-18T23:24:00-07:00'>11:24 PM</abbr></a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> <a class='comment-link' href='http://swordsandstitchery.blogspot.com/2015/10/less-then-seventy-two-hours-till-venger.html#comment-form' onclick=''> No comments: </a> </span> <span class='post-icons'> <span class='item-control blog-admin pid-1389871235'> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=7672684189982389944&postID=2603359055469010746&from=pencil' title='Edit Post'> <img alt='' class='icon-action' height='18' src='https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif' width='18'/> </a> </span> </span> <div class='post-share-buttons goog-inline-block'> <a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-email' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=7672684189982389944&postID=2603359055469010746&target=email' target='_blank' title='Email This'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Email This</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-blog' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=7672684189982389944&postID=2603359055469010746&target=blog' onclick='window.open(this.href, "_blank", "height=270,width=475");

This makes Alpha Blue a perfect lead in for other old school or retro adventures. </span></li> <li><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> Venger has a proven track record of creating solidly weird and yet very useful adventures and sourcebooks. I have a good feeling that Alpha Blue isn't going to be any different in this regard. </span></li> <li><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I can't wait to see how he's going to pull this one off and the ripples across the OSR with his latest creations.  Space brothels really are an untapped resource for both space fantasies and space opera adventures this product has the potential to be a really fun and weird OSR resource. So if you want to see this reach the wilds of the OSR retro space market then throw a few coins his way. </span></li> </ul> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> <span
