Horizons Unknown

The Hexplora-Corp team saves the power station from a shocking, plant-based infestation and meet the settlement's resident action hero. All of that before they relax around a campfire for their first night on Weydana-4. The next day they set out on some spiffy wheels and we learn about hexploration rules.

With a hunch that the source sensestone may be near the mountains, the crew make their way south and encounter a strange stone pillar covered in runes that absolutely does not belong here. We also discover a tactical deficit the party has with swarms. Definitely will not be filing that away to use against them later...

The Hexplora-Corp team boards a starship on Triaxus bound for Weydana-4. They spend time in the Drift and we get to know who our party is before they make a rather indelicate landing on this new site of a settlement still to be named...

This is the first episode of our 'Horizons of the Vast' stream converted to podcast form. New episodes will be released one week after the initial stream so if you want to stay as caught up as possible the best way is to tune in every other Thursday from 6-8pm EST at https://twitch.tv/hexgridheroes

Want to say a big thanks to my players Karee, Pan, Jeff, and Adam for embarking on this journey with me. Your energy rocked. Special thanks to Jeff for handling so much of the tech side of things, to Adam for his great artwork, and a starship-sized thanks to all of you that showed up to make our premiere so special. Music from this podcast and stream is from TabletopAudio.com

After a truly delightful Time Recap-sule from Adam, the Hexplora-Corp heads back to Orliedan's Rest to do their first round of Charter Management. We do a great job of mixing the crunch of the rules with wonderful roleplay with some of the fellow settlers they've yet to interact with. Some decisions about the direction of the settlement are made, and the party is now going to chill at and around town for a bit. Lot of moving parts to attend to, like what's going one at the Environmental Sciences Lab???

After stumbling into a cavern the heroes cut, blast, crawl, and float their way towards the sensestone they've been tracking. After making their way back out they say farewell to their friend Rigel with the promise of a return to harvest more of this Fury sensestone in the coming months when the settlement has grown more.
