Daring Tales of the Space Lanes
Triple Ace Games’ line of high-octane, two-fisted tales takes the heroes into space, where fighting evil crimelords,
dodging bounty hunters, and evading asteroids while blasting at enemy fighters is all part of a day’s work.
You'll find four pre-generated characters available for free here.
Each hero has his or her advancements
from Seasoned (20 XP) to Legendary (100 XP) already mapped out. Completing a Daring Tale of the Space Lanes
increases the Experience Points of the characters by 5 XPs, meaning you can run the adventures in
the order they're released with a guarantee of new abilities for the characters each time you start
a new issue. All you need do is tick the appropriate advancement box at the start of a new Daring Tale!
The pre-gens are prefect for pick up games, demo games, and convention play as well.
To begin your pulp sci-fi campaign you just need to buy an adventure, download the sheets, and
start rolling dice!

DTotSL #1:
Waylaid on Wayland & Gunboat Diplomacy
The inaugural issue contains two short adventures and a special rules appendix.
Waylaid on Wayland: When a senior political figure offered the heroes a tidy sum to deliver a small package it seemed like easy money,
but that was before people started trying to kill them. What begins as a simple cargo run quickly has the heroes involved in a running
battle over who gets to control a powerful political organization on the industrial world of Wayland. Trash incinerators, acid rain,
high speed chases through chimney stacks, and a showdown where the scenery is just as dangerous as the opposition await!
Gunboat Diplomacy: Sure, helping a guy being blasted at by an armored goon was the right thing to do, but it’s embroiled the characters
in the start of a potentially nasty situation. When an entire space navy is trying to kill you, you know it’s not a good day to take
to the stars!
Space Dangers: A special appendix detailing numerous space hazards you can throw into your own space tales.
From asteroids to gravity wells to wormholes, that cargo run just got a whole lot more dangerous.

DTotSL #02: Bad Debts
Politics and revenge are a dangerous mix!
Life in the spacelanes is hard, and spacers have to go where the money is. In this case, that means
tracking down the kidnapped daughter of a senior member of the powerful Galactic Trade Assembly.
From the explosive energy crystal world of Kerexi IV to the gas processing spacestation known as Dante
and onward to a secret starship controlled by a powerful criminal fraternity, the heroes are plagued by
vicious bounty hunters led by the ruthless and cunning Pandit Morg, an alien psion armed with a very deadly weapon!
While avoiding the hunters is hard enough, the stakes are raised when it becomes clear who the kidnappers work
for—the much-feared Shandarma Brotherhood. Say, didn’t someone steal one of their ships? Maybe you’ll get lucky
and they’ve forgotten you, or maybe revenge is high on the Brotherhood’s agenda.
Daring Tales of the Space Lanes #2 also contains a system for creating your own space pulp planets!

DTotSL #03: Robot Rumble
LET'S GET READY TO RUMBLE!
When your trip to Lux III hits "difficulties" your patron suggests a way you can repay him and avoid his lawyers.
It's a simple enough task, on the surface; all you have to do is infiltrate a criminal gang, discover who their
boss is, and put him out of business. But there's a drawback, and it's a big one. The gang operates in Tin Town,
a robots-only slum, and fleshies just aren't welcome there. But fear not, for your patron has a solution;
you're going to enter Tin Town disguised as robots!
Have the heroes got what it takes to be a robot and avoid detection? Can they infiltrate the gang and work their way
to see Mr. Big? Or is it all going to end in one huge rumble?

DTotSL #04: The Last Journey of The Exodus
The Last Journey of the Exodus: A man condemned to a terrible fate for his crimes possesses a long forgotten secret:
to repay the heroes for an act of kindness, he reveals to them the location of the Exodus, one of the
legendary "Lost Ships" with which the Human race began the colonization of the universe thousands of years ago.
But strange things, a ruthless madman, and a race against time await the heroes within the hull of the ancient ship.

DTotSL #05: The Black Guardian
When an ancient relic surfaces in the hands of a cruel crime boss, our heroes find themselves in the middle of a desperate struggle for life!
The heroes must wrest an ancient alien relic from the grasp of a dangerous crime lord, but this is
only the beginning of their problems as the artifact is either the means to save a world or condemn
it forever! Plus there are several others who wish to get their claws on it, as well!
Freedom fighters, an old enemy and new allies await the adventurers in the dry deserts of Gator.
