Koenig's Rock
Thanks for the feedback. Here is what I have in mind so far:
I'm drafting an in-house (not to be published) adventure for my 8th grader
and his friends by combining elements from CT Beltstrike and Adv. 6
Adventure to Zhodane.
Beltstrike has such a great map of Koenig's Rock that I'm interested to
know if there are any suitable (enclosed environment, no-spaceship
required, "Wild West"-like") adventures available that could be suggested?
For background: I've GM'd three sessions for my Young Travellers (all are
mid-20s former Navy/Marine enlisted with a slightly older Scout for
diversity...all are demobilized vets from the 5th Frontier War). So far
they've been Across the Bright Face, aboard the Death Station, and have
survived One Crowded Hour.
The story arc for the next adventure is: they go to The Rock while waiting
transport outsystem (it will take a few weeks for Maxos to make those
arrangements after learning of the Duchese Selene disaster).
On The Rock, they will seek temp employment (using the want ads from
"Zhodane"). I may also pull from Gamelord's Startown Liberty and
Wanted:Adventurers. After a few short scenes they'll get Shanghai'd and
forced to prospect as in Zhodane. Eventually they will find the Asteroid
ship (sadly, no survivors), get the cutter working and then return to
Koening's for an "Unforgiven" style showdown-shootout with the KRPA bad
guys responsible for their servitude.
Having broken the back of the KRPA, as with many classic Westerns, the
Travellers fly off into the sunset heroes to the grateful residents of
Koenig's Rock.
I appreciate any and all suggestions -- they can even come from other
sources (e.g., TSR's Boot Hill!) if you think it fits in with this story
arc and how I can best utilize the great Koenig's Rock map.
Regards & thanks.
