    Ordeal on Gamma Elster IV

    The free Decipher STRPG adventure, Ordeal on Gamma Elster IV, which was included in the Quick Start guide, references a station map & even has a key for the map, but no map was included in the download.

    Does anyone know if a map was inadvertently left out or whether a map of this station is available?

    I asked about the map ages ago. Apparently there was one with the dead trees copy for conventions but the electronic copy is missing. There was word of inquirying at decipher, but we all what happens with that black hole stuff.
    Duct tape is like The Force. It has a light side, a dark side, and it holds the universe together.

    It was designed to be used at conventions.

    So it seems the map was only included in the paper copy that was at an old convention & never made it to the pdf version. It seems that paper copies are no longer available.

    That's too bad. I guess I'll have to find a map of some station similar in size & use that instead.

    There couldn't have been, like, a cave-in when they were checking underground generators or something?

    What moron gives a pacifist doctor with no Energy Weapons skill a fully-armed phaser? Don't get me started on how bad portions of this adventure were....

    I think I mentioned this to Dec no less than 10 times, and never got a peep out of them.

    I'd imagine it's standard issue in dangerous situations.

    I'm not sure I like the pregens either. Why a Human, Klingon and Bajoran? The spread of exchange officers just seems a little weird for a Starfleet-centric episode. Why not Human, Human and Vulcan? Or even Human, Bajoran, Bolian?
