Gnomatsu has made some amazing handouts for Temple of the Twelve, and Yazza posted a great video of Nashes' Video logs. I really appreciate this work!
Does anyone else have a lead on or suggestions for making handouts for the Dead Suns AP? My group really engages with them; for those who have run the AP already, is there anything in particular that's better in print than just read aloud?

Hey Brother W
I'm running the AP here on the boards and have prepared a bunch of ASN24 [Absalom Station News 24] data bulletins.
I'm drip feeding rumour content (some red herrings, some just setting flavour), info updates on the Acreon dispute as well.
The death of Duravor/Dock94 encounter also made the live bulletins, detailing that AB-SSEC [Absalom Station SECurity] were inbound loaded for bear.
Also have prepared a Astral Extractions presentation that Ms Joss [Ms JÖ.55 in my game] will give them when they meet with her.
I've also got a few communique's from Grevalarsk as well.
I can easily share them via PM if you're interested :)
Cheers

ASN24 [Absalom Station News 24] Data_Bulletins :
Bulletin 2.0 covers ASN24 newsfeed comments from station denizens - in my game I planned to have one of the PCs be interviewed and their comments to join the mass speculation - version below is awaiting the comment.
I work in Oil & Gas here in UK, so the Astral Extractions presentation is a nod to similar fare found looping in the foyers of most Operating Companies. Figured that as/when players meet with AE they will likely get the whole nine yards regards their "corporate portfolio" etc. More flavour than anything else...
Astral Extractions Presentation
NB: Some of the naming conventions for organisations is in flux as I'm tweaking the setting as I go. The originals are on my work PC so I'll not be able to send editable versions to anyone until 03.01.18 at the earliest when I'm back to work - hopefully above gives you a taste of what I'm generating...

That's some kung-fu. Dotting this for later. Thank you.
Cheers pithica - like I said once I'm back at work I'll be able to access the (non-pdf) originals should folks want to tweak them to suite their own game.

These are great, Black Dow. Thanks - much appreciated!

Excellent stuff! Thanks for putting those together.
All good gents - appreciate the kudos.
I've some others that I'll fire up when I'm back in the saddle.

Noticed that Astral Extractions get a passing reference in the Castoval gazetteer section of The Temple of Twelve.
As such I've updated my Astral Extractions "Corporate presentation" to include reference to this (and also potential careers within AE that might be dangled to a party).

That's awesome

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought news feeds, etc would be a great way to trickle in info and flesh out the story and events.
I'm reading through the first 2 and looking for plotholes, trouble spots, and other things I can flesh out, avoid, or rework. This helps a lot with what I already was brainstorming, thanks!

Thanks so much Black Dow for those really cool handouts. A funny side note on what happened when I used them with my group today. After they read the "news" feeds that they accessed they decided to go the the Absalom Station News station and talk with the reporters who had been covering the stories. After agreeing to an interview with the station for the exclusive story rights (as the were witnesses/participants in the shootout at docking bay 94) they were able to gain almost (not all) the information on the two gangs from the investigative reports covering the gangland goings on at the station.
So your handouts worked great and they look great too. Even though it did cause me to have to do a little on the fly improvisation. Great job and thanks again.
No worries - love the idea of the media interview (nice way of getting the gang intel)
I've a couple more in the mix relating to Ambassador Nor's communiques with the group and also relating to the ongoing conflict over the Acreon.
I'll try and get them posted up this week for anyone interested.

Had Gevalarsk Nor's handy:
Ambassador Nor's Communication
Above is sent to the group when they realise the Hippocampus has left, leaving them stranded on Drift Rock.
Sign off for Nor is Datoria In Moarte - meaning "Duty In Death" in Eoxian

Dude these are seriously amazing. Just saved all of them to make use in our game. Many many thanks. If you make any more, please feel free to share them, the community will be super grateful!
I’ll try and upload, but I have infosphere wiki like docs from the Starfinder archive on Castrovel and The Cult of the devoured, as well as turning the information uncovered at the end of book 4 into a confession. All of it is. Cherry picking and adding some flavour text/removing some stuff they shouldn’t know from info at the back of each campaign book.
The confession I found the most useful, as each test revealed the next step of Kishaleen history and how the Stellar Degenerator went from a worry, to being used, to the fear that would cause them to lock it away.
My RP group comes originally from Vampire where narrative and discussion is encouraged, so this slowly leaked into really worked to add changing views of the Kishaleen, and actually caused and arguement as to loathe or understand their actions.

Great job Black Dow, I'll definitely be using this when I start my game.
Does anyone have a handout made for Ambassador Nor's invitation to the Embassy?
Also, is there an ASN24 bulletin for after the fight in the Fusion Queen?
@Pithica42: My group are about to receive their invitations, so I'm mulling pulling together one for that.
On the post Fusion Queen bulletin - my PCs have got involved in some side-treks - visiting King Curney's Casbah to offload some illegal narcotics (only to find they originated from Curney). They've also traced a shell company who hire personnel for Astral Extractions only for the executive implicated to be sniped by Clara-247 (and causing them to be implicated). If I do a ASN24 bulletin on these events (Fusion Queen onward), I'll spilt them so its a staged report - so as not to render them too specific to my game (and of course I'll pop them up here) :)
Cheers

I managed to put together an ANS24 News Bulletin and the Letter from Nor yesterday afternoon. If anyone wants to use these, feel free. I didn't have good fonts for the lettering, but it works for me (my group usually couldn't see the images in roll20 anyway, so my handout included both an image and the actual raw text).
EDIT: Oh, and I blatantly stole most of the 'news' headlines from the other thread with just the list of bulletins. I'm going with a sort of 'coverup' angle on the initial reporting, only to have a later article blow up the fact that Astral Extractions was in on the docking bay attack.
Not sure if this qualifies as handout, but here goes. I have created item cards for the loot found in the AP. I have uploaded books 3 to 5, and I am working on book 6. I won't do books 1 & 2, as my groups are done with it.
I apologize for any mistakes.Let me know if you want my source code (LaTeX).
Thanks for the nice work! Now I think every AP should have item cards.
