Anecdotes from my Campaign (2013)

My players arrived at the starport pumped full of legends about the Lost Colony of Gileden, the Abyss Rift articles (from Challenge) retrieved from Library Data, and too many episodes of the _X-Files_.

• They arrived late in the evening local time, so of course all the port facilities were locked, and the residents were in the bar drinking. The bar is in a separate dome from the port itself. The party immediately assumed that these colonists had been taken by whoever got the Lost Colony. They were preparing to break down the door to the SPA offices when I dropped some hints about the next dome. :) They wound up riding with some hired prospectors out to the ruins of the first colony. It was a spooky ride, thanks to the 100 hour nights on tide-locked Gileden and the usual rumors (in this case true) about the ruins being haunted. I managed to scare their pants off (one player reported nightmares the next day), and they managed to solve the mystery of the ruins.
