Freebooting Venus / Re: Orlando playtest group, first session

Hale's player here. I enjoyed the session. Not much to add; the treasure aspect was very fun. It helped that I rolled an estate (which I was looking forward to eventually experimenting with) and happened to get the riverway/highway location I was hoping for.
ColdLogic, re: trouble, I don't think you have much to worry about. I would say trouble tends to finds us, but really we do a good job of finding trouble. We're only one session in. There will be plenty of hooks on which to hang us. As DaveR posted, Hale has the squatters on his estate to deal with. Also, he has the treasure from rolling double 5s (5. An item significant, sentimental, or dangerous to someone great) which I will be trying to leverage for improving my estate via blackmail or selling the document to his enemies, etc. You could simultaneously have his operatives trying to recover the document from me directly, giving you a counter of sorts...
Really looking forward to next week.
