Welcome Natives and Newcomers alike, to the November update!
As I shared last month, we are in that part of the Blue Planet project where we won’t have much to offer production news-wise for a while. Save for a few tweaks on the printer files and logistics stuff, there’s nothing to report at the moment. I anticipate the next notable milestone will be our receipt of the first production proofs, which I am super-excited to see and share. Alternatively, I thought I would offer some other fun news and provide some supplementary Recontact adventure resources.
WildWeaver Recontact Fundraiser
My good friend Rich Howard - one of the OG champions of Blue Planet and a contributor to the new edition - runs WildWeaver HSE with his wife. WeaverWild provides after-school and homeschool enrichment programs in East Texas. They offer a wide range of small class groups teaching science, math, creative writing, 3D printing, art, natural exploration using board, card, and roleplaying games to build kids’ excitement about learning.
WildWeaver is hosting a series of fundraisers over the next couple of weeks, and Rich has invited me to run a Recontact game this Saturday, Nov 2nd, at 7.30p PT. If you want to check it out, you can support a great cause and get some insight to how I like to run the new Blue Planet system.
Natural Instincts
The scenario I will be running for the fundraiser is an oldie but a goodie - a convention demo I wrote years ago back in 1st edition days - but it remains one of my favorites. I will actually be running a Recontact version of the Natural Law variant of the scenario, as it gives players a lot of roleplaying grist right from the jump.
Though long time BP players probably already know about Natural Instincts, if you are interested in checking it out you can find the original write-up here. For those interested in using the scenario with the new rules, I have included some Recontact pre-gens so you can dive right in...
