But the game is not just a bunch of fluff: a nice one-off story game. The rules and supplements are FREE, and feature 20 unique warband factions to choose from, representing soldiers and specialists from nearly every sci-fi motif imaginable. Check out Starfall on Goodreads.Very excited to introduce to you all my multiverse, sci-fi tabletop game: If those things sounds interesting, give this a go, but really adjust your expectations if you loved the first. Where do we draw the line? When we see pilots, the mafia, revolutionaries, the government, and more? What is fair in war? We have a lot of different forces who are using violence, justice, and their ideas to justify their actions. Another thing that was interesting to me is this notion of personal violation in war. Obviously each of our favorites come down on different sides of this question – but figuring out where our friendship loyalties lie versus our ideas lie was fascinating to me. One of the central questions/conflicts in the book is whether a monarchy is better than a republic – and in what ways. The only area where Starfall shone was the theme of revolution. I would read a prequel to Starflight for sure. That being said, I really liked Remi, Doran, and Solara in this book – even if we didn’t see much of them. So this will we be together or won’t we, can get old pretty fast for me. I am a very much decide what you want and go for it person. Not to mention the angst-y, will-they-won’t-they, went on forever. Loyal and devoted Kane and emotionally distant Cassia. Kane was cute, but I felt like they were played a bit too much into their tropes. And I didn’t really like Cassia that much. But for Cassia and Kane, I just felt like theirs were more just arguments. I loved the witty, hilarious, and clever dialogue between Doran and Solara. I really liked Starflight and while I didn’t enjoy the characters as much in this book, I enjoyed the themes more. So Starfall was going against high stakes for me. In the face of unspeakable evil, Cassia must confront her own family’s complicated legacy on Eturia and decide once and for all who her real family is. When the outer realm is threatened by the dangerous Zhang mafia, Cassia, Kane and the rest of the Banshee crew uncover a horrifying conspiracy that endangers the entire universe. Kane knows he will never find someone to replace Cassia-and is certain she returns his feelings-but how can he throw away his own promising future waiting on a queen? Cassia must make alliances, and Kane, the bastard son of a merchant, isn’t a choice that will earn her any friends. But when they arrive on Eturia, Cassia isn’t exactly in need of heroics-she’s claimed her birthright as Eturia’s queen, but has inherited a war-torn planet simmering with rebellion. Meanwhile, Kane and the rest of the crew of the Banshee plan a desperate rescue mission. Her only solace is that the Banshee crew managed to evade capture, including Kane Arric, her best friend…with occasional benefits. Shackled by bounty hunters, she is violently dragged back to account for her crimes. Now after two years hiding as a ship hand, she is finally returning to her beloved home, but not in the way she imagined. When Princess Cassia Rose fled her home world of Eturia to escape an arranged marriage, she had no idea her sudden departure would spark a war. But I actually thought Starfall shined more in terms of themes. So I wasn’t sure what to expect from Starfall which is more like a sequel/companion novel (we don’t see much of Doran and Solara). I really enjoyed Lander’s previous book, Starflight.
