Jack Scrimshaw is an asexual art bro. That is the best way I can describe him.

Rosie Cusswell is a complete badass after, being the second prisoner at the end of book 1, managed to burst her shackles while sinking, swim to the surface, and kill steal the Whale with an unarmed strike, all while on 1 hp.

Lynn Beckwith is an archaeologist interested in cyclopian ruins. She left the crew after the mutiny, but we've run into her subsequently.

Badger Medlar is a swab who is perfectly happy being a swab and has no career goals beyond being a swab. One of the PCs put great effort into winning her over because he found her amusing and is now sleeping with her for deific obedience to Calistria.

The Lady of the Rock is Agasta Smythee's daughter, Cassandra, because all of the PCs are fairly young and the GM felt creeped out about having a 50 year old woman hit on 22 year olds.

Pierce Jerrell is now Pierre Jerrell, because the GM misread his name and then went, "I guess he's French now." He has deviated from his book stated personality into basically Han Solo who goes on drunken benders, but somehow has been amazingly competent in combat despite his utterly garbage build. We've decided he has a long suffering first mate who actually handles things like payroll.

We don't actually interact much with Sandara, but yet we completely believe she is the most responsible member of our crew and is the most likely candidate to become captain of our second ship.

Alas, except my players have informed me they have no interest in being non-law-abiding citizens, so I guess I'll focus my mental energies on cyberpunk private investigators, lol.

I would probably run it as certain districts running a similar schedule

I was going to have it so there are lull hours where there is only a skeleton crew.

These are good points! Even if there's no official "night," businesses probably still have common hours so employees can collaborate more efficiently.

Personally I thought of making Aballon as a cyberpunk kind of game, the tech and robots help in my opinion. You set it in one of the areas of a city intended for non-Anacites to live and do business on Aballon.

I've been bouncing between Verces, Absolam Station, Triaxus, Akiton, Castrovel, and Aballon. I think all of them could support a cyberpunk theme, but I think Verces fits what I want the best. I have another idea for a campaign starting on Aballon with the players investigating the ruins of a city of the First Ones, so looking at another location for a different campaign.

Verces has incredible storms of all descriptions from thunderstorms to sandstorms, due to the varying temperatures of the polar regions this causes powerful winds.

I forgot about that, that's a neat idea!

Further, all of the Megacities have a Gritty Undercity for the working lower class, where the light of day never reaches. I could see that as being the hub for many cyberpunk plot hooks.

This is a good point, like a Coruscant undercity. The undercity concept was part of what drew me to Verces, but I forgot about the literal lack of sunlight.

Thanks for the ideas, guys!

Has anyone run a shadowrun-esque game on Verces? If so, how did you handle the fact there's no night and the planet doesn't seem to run on an artificial day-night cycle? It seems the ideal place for a cyberpunk/shadowrun style game, but unsure how to handle if there's no "after hours" time to do infiltration.

Thank you!! I knew I was missing something.

So for Wild Shape you start off with the forms from pest form, and additional druid feats give you access to forms from other polymorph spells such as humanoid form (thousand faces) and dinosaur form (ferocious shape) and elemental form (elemental shape) and etc, but at no point can I find a druid feat that adds the forms from the animal form spell. I mean, it's on your spell list so you can just cast it on yourself, but, like, you can't wild shape into a bear?
