Paramour is an adventure for Orbital Blues centered around one woman at a tumultuous crossroad, putting you in the shoes of a troubled ex-lover, a friend betrayed, or even a superfan. A collision of Cowboy Bebop (1998) and Themla & Louise (1991), this module lands your crew in the frozen streets of La Bohème, a city you loved when you were young that has since changed. Messy emotions lie at the beating heart of the scenario, wrapped around a deadly dilemma with spiraling consequences. If you had one last chance to work things out with your old flame or former friend, would you? Or would you push for a clean ending and pursue the bounty on her head?
From writing duo Josh Domanski and Chris Airiau, with editing by Samantha Leigh and illustrations by Lur Noise. Bound within this 32pg zine are disputing factions, set pieces, a daring heist, and a whole iceball city sandbox to serve as a playground for your sad space cowboys.
The module details the six districts of La Bohème (a.k.a. Slushtown) that stretch across the frozen banks of theRiver Scène, each with three Landmarks and Blues-inducing tables of Old Haunts and Somebody That I Used To Know. A daring heist will take you across the fully mapped city to three detailed and mapped locations, including the defunct concert hall Vive le Vent, the snowed-over MVM Waste Center, and the Spinward Records Offices.

Below, you’ll find the rough overview of the project timeline. The great luck with this campaign is that the manuscript is drafted and editing is already underway! Revisions will begin after we receive funding from BackerKit. Then it’s layout, final proofreading, and test prints. But knowing how volatile even a seemingly simple process can be, we’ve built in some serious padding.
May 2026: Collect funds, begin writing revisions. June 2026: Begin Layout. July 2026: Finalize and check layout August 2026: Proofreading September 2026: Print checks October 2026: Production (zine) November 2026: Shipping to Warehouse December 2026: Kitting January 2027: Fulfillment Begins
Of course, there's a war going on and who knows what fresh hell the world has in store for us to impact shipping logistics and costs. We thank you for your support and patience through the production cycle. We are committed to sending an update on this project's progress on the second-to-last Monday of each month, whatever the state of the project.
While Paramour does not contain any overtly graphic material, the scenario deals heavily with themes of romantic entanglement and lost love, which may be something your players are uncomfortable directly engaging with. However, these elements can largely be removed during play if needed by shifting away from the personal drama and treating the scenario like a standard heist or bounty hunt.
