Since there's now a waiting list to play I's told can't run both long campaigns for the library kids next school year. Plann to swap out Knave for a semester for 8 3-hour sessions of something else with new kids, and one of my leading games is OG LBB Traveller.
That being said, did anyone ever use the Imperial Fringe started adventure book that I think was in Delux Traveller?

From tonight’s 13th Age game, presented without context
“I try to seduce the giant stag beetle”
It's the subtlety of the unconscious racism in that gets you. I'm running an OSR-style game for the kids and to keep things lively for me I am a big fan of the Random Encounter Tables (RET). Whenever the kids aren't in an adventure area with a RET I pull out the big honkin' RET in the 1E DMG (or the Fiend Folio when they are in the dimensionally warped Lost Lands). The geography of the setting is the Caribbean, because I like the island hopping potential.

Discovered Subnautica Below Zero today with me son, we had loads of fun exploring this world and we will come back to it. I thought he would be more scared, but not at all. A Brute Shark scared both of us, but we had a good laugh about it.

Last nights 13th Age game with library kids had an interesting engagement moment: once they killed the Specter of a Yuan-Ti general the two middle school kids (younger siblings of the HS kids) were 125% all in on “WHAT IS THE TREASURE!?” Yelling over each other for what they wanted.
Since this was a reskinned AD&D 1E adventure the hoard was fabulously detailed, feeding the sheer avarice on display.

Last nights OSR-style game with the library kids was, thanks to the oracular bones of St. Cuthbert, about as cinematic a session as I've ever run.
Some context: a century ago the city of Koralgesh was betrayed by its chief wizard, who lowered the city's defenses to allow demon-backed pirates to enter. The city's god, Kor, destroyed the city via volcanic eruption to kill the invaders and give refugees a chance to escape.

For the library kids this week I took a very old John Nephew adventure from Dungeon #6 and reskinned it from a demonically tainted cairn to an under-the-burned-out-Yuan-Ti-temple dungeon with minimal effort. It was a joy to watch the older kids interact with the Yuan-Ti remains and ghosts and explaining to the younger kids all the shit that went down in the Forbidden City 18-20 months ago.
This is why you run long campaigns.
