A few days ago I have "jumped the gun" and have used The Green for a first
adventure with characters from my setting.
While investigating the Gate left behind by the Builders in a ruined outpost in
the Great Rift of Pharos IV, they inadvertently activated the Gate and were
transmitted to a portal under the mountains north of The Green.
Since the characters lacked the equipment for an exploration of the region,
they decided after a few encounters with giant spiders and thelike to "hole
up" near the portal and try to figure out a way to use it in order to return
to Pharos IV.
However, they had to go out to search or hunt for food, and this proved to
be extremely dangerous. In the end they only survived with the help of a
wandering group of Mamprusi.
While the characters concentrated on staying alive, the ARC scientists back
on Pharos IV managed to re-establish the Gate's connection with the portal
on Green (as the planet was named), and a security service team rescued
the characters.
The Gate is still extremely unreliable, and the characters lacked the equipment
to determine the precise astrographic position of Green, but I have no doubt
that the ARC (Avalon Research Center) will try to find a way to return to
Green: Some of the organic materials used by the Mamprusi could be most
useful for the colony on Pharos IV.
The players liked this adventure very much, and they especially liked the
Mamprusi - one of them will probably "borrow" them for his own fantasy cam-
paign.
