GAME OFFERINGS

Table 1: The Dark Side of the Moon

On the planet Kraatar, the marked differences in the attitudes and life-styles between the Human and Vrusk populations have led almost to a state of civil war. On the one hand, the original Human settlers have adapted to an individualistic, self-sufficient, agricultural life-style, while the "newcomer" Vrusk ardently serve the interests of their technologically-based trade houses. Feelings are running high and Kraatar's society is polarised between the ideals of the two races. How will the characters actions affect all of this? We shall soon see as they find themselves in.... THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON (insert evil laughter).

Table 2: The Jewel of Yavin

Canto Bight. It is a city of obnoxious excess, where the richest shamelessly wallow in luxury even while slave children cry from hunger pangs and beatings. It is also a city of dreams and illusions. You can have anything you want... at a price. As the old Galactic saying goes, "whatever sets you heart alight, it waits for you in Canto Bight." Rey wants a new crystal for her yet unbuilt lightsaber. Poe dreams of a glorious fleet, to rebuild the shattered Resistance. Finn is yearning for something greater than self-sacrifice. Rose, no longer racked with guilt, is determined to save more than just Fathiers this time. And for the newly wealthy master slicer DJ, what more can one want if one already has everything? Redemption, perhaps? The auction for the Jewel of Yavin is just three days away. If you want something bad enough, how much are you willing to sacrifice to get it?
