From publisher blurb:
Set sail in this one-shot adventure for a crew of four 5th level player characters.
What is a Drift?
An Astral Tides Drift is a short adventure, or scenario, meant to be played in a single session. Drifts are perfect for introducing new players to The Astral Tides Roleplaying Game, for playing at conventions and game stores, or for inserting between larger adventures in your home campaign.
Drifts are designed to be as simple as possible for the GM to run with little to no preparation. Each encounter is limited to a single page, and information regarding that encounter is presented in an order relevant to the GM.
What is On The Edge?
On the Edge is the perfect example of a standard job which goes wrong at nearly every turn, forcing the crew to be creative with how they accomplish their goals.
The crew is hired by a representative from Alphama to retrieve survivors and crates of medical supplies from the downed freighter Dramatic Horizon. The Horizon had a systems malfunction while traveling through Superspace, and they conducted an emergency breach back into normal space. Breaching through the Superspace wall damaged their engines, and the freighter went down on a jungle world in the Outer Rim.
What happened to the survivors? Is the cargo still intact? And how will the crew get it offworld and back to the employer? These questions are what the crew will be fighting to answer in the events of ON THE EDGE.
