Low Passage by Joseph Mohr is a role playing game supplement published by Old School Role Playing for use with Cepheus Engine. As such, it is covered by the Open Game License and some parts are considered to be Open Game Content as a result.
The supplement is available as a 13 page Pay What You Want PDF from DriveThruRPG. Two pages are the front and rear covers, three the front matter and three the Open Game License.
The characters, who presumably own a spaceship, are approached in a starport by a would-be passenger who, whilst wealthy, is seeking to pay significantly more for a low passage berth to a particular system. Though this is, in theory, set in the Sonora sector of the Frontiers of Space, it could easily be set anywhere.
Patron has details on the person seeking passage.
Complications are the problems that can arise. Most of the remaining sections, covering various contingencies and some stats, as is typical, more than are really needed, can’t really be discussed without giving away too much.
Mission Completion is what’s needed for success.
Low Passage in Review
The PDF lacks bookmarks and, though short, has enough sections that these would have been appreciated. Navigation could be better. The text maintains a single column format and appeared to be free of errors. There are no illustrations bar the covers. Presentation is adequate.
Though this is presented as an adventure, it would probably be better to run it as an incidental encounter during another adventure. Otherwise, if it’s run as an adventure, players would become rather suspicious about a person wanting to pay far too much to travel when he’s the only focus of the adventure; only if it’s more of an aside are they likely to not assume that the passenger isn’t going to be related to an upcoming situation. Low Passage is therefore an okay addition to an existing adventure and it can be found by clicking here.
