Please see above the imperial units commonly used in the UK to talk about weight.
We often use ounces to describe amounts of ingredients in recipes. We use pounds and stone for describing our own weight. Tons measure very heavy things:
Slowly getting back into it skin making so posting these! The top two I’ll release eventually into the wild and bottom three are personal customs I’ve done for some dragons in my lair to experiment with some new things :’)
The PCs are hired by an old starfarer named Guff to sneak onto a space station that’s set to be blown up in less than a day and recover an item of value that he left behind: an old astromech droid named G2-P3.
Burton Station, rumoured to be a science station studying alien life, is set to be destroyed in a day. A company called Skimworld Demolition has been tasked with the job. Guff doesn’t know that, all he knows is that it’s set to be destroyed in one day.
NOTE: in fact, the station is set to be destroyed on account of an infestation of weird plant beasts, the result of an experiment on recovered alien life that went horribly awry.
PCs need to figure out how to get past the construction crew’s safety perimeter. In addition to the members of the demolition team, there is a small squad of Imperial stormtroopers and an Imperial delegate overseeing the job.
Onboard the space station are signs the plant life has begun to grow over the controls, in the ducts, and through the systems onboard. The PCs discover logs of what happened on the station. The journals describe the delivery to the station of an unknown form of plant life by a old courier named Guff. Guff turned the package over to them, rested at the station for a few hours, and then departed. A few hours later as the plants were transferred to a holding bay for further study they began to demonstrate peculiar activity: they were able to react to touch and sound in a way that implied that they were sentient.
Over the next few days the researchers grew fond of the plants and devoted all of their time to them, forgetting about their previous experiments. Then, their lack of focus caused an accident in a lab that turned the whole station upside down. Fluids that had been feeding the plants became contaminated with an unknown mixture that caused the plants to wither and die. Then, overnight the plants were bright once more, but curiously: they were twice their original size.
The scientists mistook this turn of events to be a positive one. Within an hour the plants’ sentience, mixed with the fluid, caused them to become bloodthirsty. Two of the large plants tore one of the scientists in half. While the others fled, the plants rose up and shambled after them, slaughtering them all.
The last entry in the station’s logs - audio recorded by a terrified scientist named Nesh Sho’ta - describes what appeared to be the deadly plants fused with the bodies of scientists they’d killed, closing in on him.
Amidst the tangle, the PCs find G2-P3 powered down and unresponsive. The only way to get the droid off the station is to carry/drag it. The PCs are racing against the station’s termination clock as well as the plants that begin to threaten their lives and hunt them down.
Once they leave the station, and are on their way back to the old man, the droid suddenly comes to life with a flash and begins mimicking the clicking sounds the plants made. A light on its chest begins to pulse and a nearby computer changes its screen, displaying a readout.
To a trained eye, the readout appears to be a DNA sequence. After a while of showing genomes and markers, a single line appears at the bottom of the screen:
“Primary task initiated: routing DNA sequences through designated channels.”
The droid hums and pulses with a series of friendly-sounding notes and tones. Computer analysis of the droid indicates it’s transmitting a great amount of data to an at first unknown target. With some hacking, the PCs discover it’s being sent to a nearby Imperial shuttle.
Upon returning to Guff, the PCs find his place torn to hell and Guff himself has been battered and left for dead. Before he dies, he coughs up the following info:
“Just a job. Hired… by Goorda… Should’ve known… Imperials cast long shadows… P3 knows where Goorda is. Careful… whole system in trouble.”
Guff dies. If searched, the PCs find a key that can be used to unlock a lockbox in his house. Inside that are the credits he promised to pay initially, plus 400 more. If they miss it, G2-P3 will indicate the location of Guff’s lockbox to the PCs.
Just a quick one-shot that I whipped up for Fantasy Flight’s Star Wars RPG. No real stats for creatures, etc. Just a few details - enough to get you and your party on their way.
- Mo!
PS: let us know if you end up using this (or a version of it) at your table and how it goes! :)
thank you for your submission! we need all the confessions we can get guys, let us spread this blog to more of our community! let me know what is on your mind!
So bullgryns and ratlings. These guys are member of the 14th Tracian Irregular Infantry Regiment. The regiment is comprised of various abhumans that inhabit the system and criminals with light charges who chose service in military over the mines. Currently it is made up of 9 bullgryns, 6 ogryns, a roughly sized platoon of psykers and command, unit of ratlings and a platoon of lightly armed and armored cadians/catachans.
The orgyns are inhabitants of one of Tracia Primes moons where they are used as miners. The ratlings hail from Tracia Secondus, particularly from the city of Shier, a notorious hideout of thieves, pirates, and thugs that hire them for their stealth and size. The Camazotz (a breed of nightsiders) can be found in the depths of the one of the many hive cities that dot the system and are used for night infiltration.
Members of the Tracian Military who are sanctioned psykers are grouped together into a two company within the Irregulars and are then detached to different regiments throughout the army at large. This is typical of the entire regiments. Rather than fight as a whole, squads, platoons and even entire companies are attached to other regiments as the need arises.
This wine cup is the earliest dated jade artefact that can be linked without doubt to any Mughal emperor. It has three bands of calligraphy – the central band, carved in monumental sols script, has a royal dedication announcing that the cup was made for Jahangir; the upper border, in nasta’liq script, confirms that it was the personal cup of the emperor and was made in the second year of his reign, therefore between April 1607 and March 1608.
Persian verses ornament the cup, including some contemporary 17th-century poetry, and it is suggested that the poet responsible was the maker of the cup itself. The superintendent of the royal goldsmiths at the time was also rewarded by Jahangir for his skills as a poet.
Each cabinet is of massive rectangular form. The hatchest has square panel doors, elaborately carved in deep relief with a single dragon chasing a flaming pearl amidst clouds, above the larger cabinet set with single-panel doors finely carved with four five-clawed dragons chasing a flaming pearl amidst swirling clouds, below a single horizontal panel carved with dragons confronting a flaming pearl.
The doors are centered around a removable stile, and open to reveal the shelved interior, above the shaped apron carved en suite with confronting dragons. Each cabinet is fitted withbaitong metal hardware and the feet are clad in baitong sabots.
Constructed from the precious hardwood, zitan, the present pair represent an extremely luxurious use of a rare wood that was highly valued during the Qing dynasty. Zitan is a general term which includes numerous species of wood, however, it is commonly agreed that it belongs to the genus Pterocarpus. A purplish-black, fine-grained hardwood, zitan was considered the most prized hardwood by the Chinese.
The density of the wood makes this material especially suitable for fine and intricate carving. The wood’s scarcity was compounded by the fact that the trees themselves are slow growing and require centuries to fully mature into usable material. Although local sources of zitan exist in the southern provinces of Yunnan, Guangdong and Guangxi, much of the material was imported from Southeast Asia.
As an imported commodity, its use was scrupulously monitored and carefully restricted at the Imperial workshops.

Sooo I used the latest registration window on Flight Rising to jump the bandwagon~ started doodling some of my dragons inbetween work, this lovely lady was a gift from a fellow icicle <3 I named her Voer.
