Seriously - there were fruits there that looked like a sci-fi grenade with all sorts of spikes in all directions.... and this was supposed to be eaten somehow....

You don't mean a durian do you? It's not just the spikes that are off putting, they have to be smelled/tasted to be believed. Definitely alien.

Never found out what it was. The spikes were 1.5" range and the thing looked like it had a fairly tough outer skin too. I'm sure if I had a metal gauntlet on, I could have thrown them as dangerous projectiles.

It would be fun to create an article with a collection of 'food packets' - describe colour, odour, sight, taste, contents, other notes. It would be fun to have 66 of these (because d66!) so that when the characters are sitting down for rat packs (because there was no Fresh veg at the last stop - a Vacuum planet), you could make it a fun roll.

Great idea! On the upside you don't need 66 for a d66 table. 36 will do. ;-)

I blame pandemic brain.... OMG... I can't believe that slipped past me... gaaaah..... It's the darn Zhodani always playing the theme song to Ghost in the Shell in my head....

Hey, I like Haggis so I'm not one to throw stones too far...

Now they're definitely alien creatures with their legs on one side longer than those on the other so they can run round hills without tipping over!

You have to watch out for the counterclockwise ones. Only about 1 in 10, but if you are trying to shadow the herd, you can get a wild surprise when one comes straight at you going the other direction.

That's what the PGMP-12 is for.
