Title: Orbitals
Post by: Shango on <12-28-12/1903:18>

Hello fellow GMs,
I am seriously considering running a game on an orbital.
Is there any info available on them aside of the fact that they exist?

Thanks
-Erich

Hazard Pay is the book you're looking for.

And hope that there are no Awakened on the team. Good chance they'll revolt if asked to go into space.

Oh, it's dangerous, sure, but if you refuse to push your limits because of danger, you'll soon encounter a danger that's beyond your limits...

Bah!  If you constantly exceed your abilities, you will certainly encounter leathal dangers.  On the other hand, wage slaves never push their limits and are generally far, far safer... As long as they don't work for renraku.

Or Aztechnology. And 'failure' can have nasty consequences at Mitsuhama or Saeder-Krupp. For different reasons, naturally.
