This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Have they seen us?  Can we tell if they are human?  What is their tech level?  Electricity?  Internal combustion? Plasma? Is there a safe spot to land in the radio active ruins?

If they haven't seen us and there is a safe spot I vote we land in the slagged space port.  

If they have seen us, land on their thoughtfully provied landing pad.  

I don't feel strongly about either choice.

"As fun as it is to fire my rifle, I'd rather collect loot to repair our ship without living interference. We already know there is working electronics still operating from that antenna."

/mentally checks medkit for anti-radiation, anti-toxin, anti-hystemines pills or the like.

"I wonder how useful our vacc suits will be to protect us from the original port's hazards...? Anyone wanna hazard a technical guess?"

"Also how good are our door locks on this jenny? Otherwise we'll have to post a marine to prevent any joyriders."

You know, people keep comparing non-TSR D&D to deck-building in Magic: the Gathering. But maybe it's more like Katamari Damacy. You keep sticking shit on your characters until they are big enough to be a star.

First glance has the whole place still hot.  So you can explore it but even if you find something we can't use it since I don't plan to wear a hard suit inside our ship.

Looks like the last attack was two to three centuries ago.  Anyone remember a war with an alien race estranged from Euclidean geometry?  

Unless you can find clean salvage I say we go talk to the locals.  

Is this normal?  To slag a space port so savagely?  (Tatics) Nothing useable is left in this system.  

(Is the radio hot?)

"Hmm, those details leave us with little choice, unless we comb even more remote areas. Have no interest in cooking my innards with radiation..."

/makes effort to drill everyone on the jenny's passcode
"All of us gotta remember this as our life depends on it, because it might."

/double checks rifle and medkit (and any spare gear as part of my armor)
"Alright, ready as I'll ever be. Who wants to be our face to the locals? I'm used to it, but..."
/draws a wry smile ;)
"I don't wanna start our parlay shooting Eloi in the face. Best to do business first and leave pleasure for later."
