Modules Contest Review 1 - Hulk: Outer Rim Exploitation
A simple module that is tremendous fun, but the whole time I found myself asking... when will I start fighting the aliens??
The skills and equipment are as simple as they come, but manage to be quite charming and effective. The only thing desperately needed here is more plot.
Why the heck are there uniformed crew members still working on a ship that is being salvaged? Is the player character actually an alien invader who is 'salvaging' an active human ship? This could be revealed as a surprise twist! Was the ship destroyed by cosmic weirdness? Is there a sinister motive to the hulk's existence? Is the 'salvage' material being recovered actually part of a nanobot invasion plot? What is the status?? At very least, Hulk: ORE's unexplained mysteries certainly evoke some imaginative thinking.
The core recipe for an intriguing sci-fi RPG experience is there. However, this one needs surprises, hints, crumpled notes, blood smears, malfunctioning robots, alien shenanigans... generally more spice.
