The Last Warhulk (Adventure)

Rating:
Summary: A good, solid adventure.
Review: Players must board and deactivate a robotic warship. Cool! The only weak point is the art--the warhulk itself, Ares 22, looks a bit cheesy in a few spot illos, which detracts from the overall mood and feel of the book. Add a star if TSR had used art as good as they had in Planet of Darkness.

Rating:
Summary: An interesting idea and well developed overall
Review: This adventure pits the players against a StarMech warhulk (an automated AI capital ship) left over from the Second Galactic War. The warhulk, having been badly damaged in the war has finally succeeded in repairing itself and is now eager to pick up where it left off. Some interesting ideas and subplots, and the AI personality of the warhulk, Ares 22 (complete with dark humour) is especially well done. Players have to contend with a traitor within their ranks, an assault by a commando team, not to mention a race against time and a Concord fleet massing to blow the warhulk into tiny particles. I just wonder if this adventure was inspired by Edward Bryant's short story 'Pilots of the Twilight'...
