Galaxy Trucker

Corporation Incorporated is an interplanetary construction firm that builds sewer systems and low-income housing on the less-developed planets of the Galaxy. For years, Corp Inc. has tottered on the brink of bankruptcy: transporting building materials to the edge of the Galaxy, where the need for their services is greatest, is a risky business.

The company was saved by a few visionaries on the board of directors. Instead of shipping materials to the Periphery, they reasoned, why not build the materials into spacecraft and let them ship themselves? Furthermore, why hire pilots if there are nut-cases who will do it for free?

That?s where you come in. Just sign the contract, and you gain unrestricted access to a Corp Inc. Warehouse. Build your own space ship from the available prefabricated components, and fl y it to the Periphery. Of course, you may have to eat a loss, but any profi ts you make along the way are yours to keep, and Corporation Incorporated will pay you a bonus for quick delivery.

It?s possible that you will end up with an insurmountable debt and fi nish your days panhandling on the streets of Deneb III, but if Lady Luck should smile upon you, you just might fi nd yourself among the 10 billion richest people in the Galaxy!

League of Six

The year is 1430, a time of unrest and upheaval in the Holy Roman Empire. Echoes of the Papal Schism are still heard in all the lands, the Turks advance in the Balkans, and the Hussite Wars ravage Bohemia.

Even while battling the Hussites, Upper Lusatia prospers. It has been nearly 100 years since the founding of the League of Six ? a group of wealthy Lusatian towns that banded together to defend their commercial interests and preserve stability and order in the region.

You have been sent to this embattled land in the role of tax collector. As a young, ambitious aristocrat, you hope to stand out so that you will be given a position in the court of Sigismund, King of the Romans, King of Hungary, and King of Bohemia, the man who will eventually, God willing, be crowned the Holy Roman Emperor.

The tax collector who brings in the most revenue for the king, while simultaneously gaining the support of the civic leaders, has the best chance to fi nd himself by the side of King Sigismund, sharing in the intrigues that will shape Europe. Your path to power lies along the roads that connect the League of Six.
