1d15 Random Transcomic Encounters Table For Your Old School Campaigns

MAN HAS CONQUERED Space before. You may be sure of that. Somewhere beyond the Egyptians, in that dimness out of which come echoes of half-mythical names -- Atlantis, Mu -- somewhere back of history's first beginnings there must have been an age when mankind, like us today, built cities of steel to house its star-roving ships and knew the names of the planets in their own native tongues--heard Venus’ people call their wet world “Sha-ardol” in that soft, sweet, slurring speech and mimicked Mars’ guttural “Lakkdiz” from the harsh tongues of Mars’ dryland dwellers. You may be sure of it. Man has conquered Space before, and out of that conquest faint, faint echoes run still through a world that has forgotten the very fact of a civilization which must have been as mighty as our own. The myth of the Medusa, for instance, can never have had its roots in the soil of Earth. That tale of the snaky-haired Gorgon whose gaze turned the gazer to stone never originated about any creature that Earth nourished. And those ancient Greeks who told the story must have remembered, dimly and half believing, a tale of antiquity about some strange being from one of the outlying planets their remotest ancestors once trod.

There are more dangers & hidden horrors that pass by us in our everyday lives then we are even remotely aware of . In the dusty streets of Mars to the winding back alleys of the colonies in Neptune's shadow there are more horrors that pass by us. There are beings with weird natures older then time that are carrying on centuries old agendas.
 





The streets of the Old Solar system colonies are filled with alien refugees & strange beings from across the planes. Some of these are dangerous trans-cosmic beings with weird & sinister agenda of a nature completely inimical agenda.
Many of these beings float across the 'Old Solar' system as insects across the face of a pond. They go where & when the solar winds take them. Saturian drug king pins sit in the darkness of Martian taverns from Plutonian pimps selling the finest in slaved VR A.I.'s. Meanwhile in a quiet corner an agent of the Elder Things is quietly brokering a deal for alien biological cargoes.



Adventurers will soon realize that there are far greater beings out in the blackness of space then they are even remotely aware of. There are trans cosmic beings who wear the cloak of  flesh but carry out missions for both themselves & for  far greater beings some call demons while others call them gods. This is about their agents right now they are searching for your PC's.
