Still digging The Expanse and wondering what the original campaign was like
There was an article a few weeks back that mentioned that The Expanse books began life as a d20 campaign played by the authors. Now as I watch the show I can’t help but wonder how that campaign played out, especially given that d20 is mostly fight-y bits. Which characters were the PCs? (I’m assuming it’s the four folks from the Caterbury, at the least.) What scenes were born in actual sessions of play?

For example, the Rocinante. I have to believe that Holden and the others lucking into a Martian gunship of their own was some seminal play moment, either hard-won or else a handout from the GM.
“So, wait, you mean the whole crew is dead, so we’re the only ones on this ship?”
“Yup.”
“So, we now own a Martian combat vessel.”
“Yup!”
“FUCKING SWEET!!!”
“And here’s your first mission: Fred Johnson wants you to retrieve something for him…”
I’ve been perusing my old copy of d20 Future quite a bit as a result.
