Because I just *had* to make a planet with a chunk taken out of it (it's a moon now) and a debris ring. Gah! Anyway, I sort of taught myself blender to bring you Sacovey, a planet that will feature in some upcoming A Distant Galaxy adventures I'm working on!

An alien planet with a large chunk taken out of one hemisphere (by a meteor strike) and a debris ring (resulting from said meteor strike). The planet is Sacovey and will feature in some role-playing game adventures.

Hello, all! I wanted to let you know I have a new product coming out soon. Boldly Go! Somewhere in Time is a supplement that adds time travel to Boldly Go! It was inspired by the Gary 7 episode of Star Trek: The Original Series. More information coming soon!

The cover of Boldly Go! Somewhere in Time. It is a reference to Iron Maiden's Somewhere in Time album cover. A cat woman in a lab coat holds a ray gun and winks at the viewer, while three members of Space Fleet (a human, a synthod, and a sloth person), run in from the left to apprehend her).
