	Description Edit \| History

Ares Magazine #2. The Wreck of the B.S.M. Pandora simulates the race against time by the members of the biological survey team to repair their damaged space ship before the ship's system reach an irreversible (and fatal) cold shutdown. As the crew scrambles after tools and weapons, they confront potentially dangerous alien specimens that have broken loose and roam the corridors. From one to five players work seperately or together to save their ship.

Optional Pandora Rules and Counters

Rules and counters to add a few twists to both solo and regular play. First is a method for solo play to add a chance for crew to have died during the emergency. Second is a system for regular and solo play to add a chance of hull breaches at start up. Third is an option to also add pressure leak hazards to worry the crew. Also included is a PNG file containing the counters needed as well as a new counter to represent the Scapecraft and an extra EnvioRig. Tri-fold standups are presented here and two blanks for personal uses.

Wreck of the Pandora Player Aids

Three pages of player aids. The Equipment Capabilities Chart in slightly larger format and font so it is easier to read. Four copies per page of the Attributes Display. Plus a player mat so you can organize acquired tools, bots, etc. off the map instead of managing a large stack of chits.
