Welcome to the show where 'Anything Could Happen' - a real play experience set in the far future where players have to solve dilemmas that have no simple answer, incomplete information & before they run out of time! We set the players against no-win scenarios that they have to decide on a solution typically within 20 minutes. The games are set in a sci-fi context that allows us to safely explore issues and topics in a way where we are free to think 'What If?'

    Anyone Can Hold Their Breath

    Relay Station Enoch is a civilian deep-space installation serving as a trade waypoint, habitat, and maintenance hub. The station is home to thousands of people and has dozens of ships arriving and leaving every cycle. Twelve minutes ago, the station detected an impact or explosion following a routine harmonic transition. Core systems are showing signs of operating outside design tolerance, and the station systems warn of the risk of structural cascading failure. And of course, anything could happen...

    Anyone Can Abandon a Place

    The crew of a UFR-sanctioned investigation team is responding to an unusual discovery at the edge of charted space. Long-range surveys have identified the remains of an undocumented colony installation on the 3rd planet in the Teegarden’s Star system, and it seems to date back to the late Corporation Era. There is no record of there ever being a colony at this location - indeed, it wasn’t listed on any of the official logs; instead, the system was classified as uninhabitable. There is no population registry, and no emergency beacons are shouting out any warnings. From orbit, the site appears intact but abandoned - with operational (but dormant) Life-support systems and no obvious hazards have been detected. And of course, anything could happen...

    Anyone Could Light A Match

    In this episode, we find ourselves in the LHS 1140 system, orbiting LHS 1140b—a rocky Super-Earth in the habitable zone just 49 light-years from Earth. Its thick atmosphere and gravity make colonisation tricky, but its mineral resources have drawn interest from across the UFR and beyond. The UFR Colonial Claimant Department has taken residence on the newly established Orbital Station “Kite's End” and have just finished it;s preliminary assessment, and three competing groups—each with partial legal rights—have arrived to finalise terms. On the surface, things look diplomatic. But tensions are high. And it’s not just about land...CAST: Sabrina Stubbs (she/they): UFR Colonial Arbitrator Leslie David Chris Payne (he/him): Indigenous Rights Council Liaison William Lindholt Lucie Prunier (she/her): Ascension Group Rep Lucight Hem Cleveland (she/her): Kalvex Collective Envoy Arla Stonewell HOST: Oscar Clark EDITOR: Elliott Clark SCENARIO: Oscar Clark --- Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!): ⁠https://uppbeat.io/t/kevin-macleod/new-direction⁠ License code: EOPCFS6UIIFJBVAL NOTES: Format and narrative background are adapted from 'WestPoint: Extra Planetary Academy' created by Oscar Clark with additional material by David Hankins ALL RIGHTS RESERVED © Stormlantern Productions 2025 Learn more about your ad choices.

    Anyone Can Plant A Seed

    In this episode, we find ourselves on the RSV Golden Grove, a civilian research vessel looking for a location to test an experimental Terraforming system. The Providence device is a nano-bot generator which creates all the infrastructure required to start processing atmospheric conditions to develop a standard atmosphere suitable for the principal species of the United Federal Republic. Entering the Ross 128 system against the backdrop of its small red sun, there are 2 systems which were never colonized, despite being just 11 light years from Earth. Which planet will they choose? and of course... Anything could happen!

    Anyone Can Detect A Signal

    In this episode, we find ourselves on the ESV Astrolabe, a civilian deep space exploration vessel with a contract to investigate a remote region of space, beyond normal Trade routes. There have been reports of rogue radio signals in this extra-stellar region that have sparked crazy stories of orphan planets or abandoned precursor megastructures. The Coms officer has detected a signal in the black - one that does not match known comms patterns. Of course... Anything could happen!
