The only thing I've ever tried was Mekton when I was a lad and paranoia, but both ended up a mess. Your game somehow manages to read like OG Star Trek, with a dash of 17th travelog thrown in. I can't help but wonder if it's a heroic (gulfs of space between wildly divergent simple locations) as opposed to architectural (locations are detailed and systemically mapped)approach. That would seem to follow the distinction between Sci-Fi and Fantasy literature of the golden age - Fantasy (Tolkien, Moorcock et al.) is about location and landscape while space opera Sci-Fi (Piper for example) is about character and even moreso society. I ramble - apologies.

(Somehow I have just never gotten around to it yet, although it is on my bucket list.)<br /><br />I am surprised, though, that you are already tying up the action with <i>Leviathan</i>. My memories of that adventure were that it could stretch out into a years-long sandbox campaign.Duglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04952607750940479779noreply@blogger.com
