Scarlet Heroes: Road Hogs Session 1
Scarlet Heroes: Road Hogs Session 1
Bad Bart the road warrior is hired by the Highway Dept. to scout a new route to La Segunda Pregunta. One hex out, he ran into a giant mutant plant that had grown across the highway and got stuck.
Remembering there was a compound of vultures that lived nearby, he went to ask them for help freeing his ride. They wouldn't even let him in. But through the view slit, Bart glimpsed a garage and shed where he might find tools to get his car free.
He sneaked back in the night, and into the unguarded garage. Unguarded, but equipped with an alarm...
Running for it, Bart jumped the fence, but flying vulture guards intercepted him. Bart easily fought them off. He reached his car and freed it before the vultures caught up with him. He burned rubber down the highway.
How many games do you run?
ReplyDeleteThat's just me, solo, since I had a free hour.
ReplyDeleteThe SH system and a modified version of the Road Hogs random encounter chart. Mostly used the oracles this time. For example, "Is there a shed with tools in the compound?" Was an unambiguous "yes," but "Are there guards?" Gave me a "no, but" which I interpreted as an alarm.
ReplyDeleteI love reading these solo stories. Especially knowing that the events were generated from the oracle tables.
ReplyDeleteHere's what happened next. The encounter table gave me a fight with some Road Hogs (which showed me my vehicle combat hack needs work). Then later, almost at my destination, a car wreck scene a few hours old. I asked the oracle "Are there survivors?" which gave a "No, but." I'm interpreting that as there was a survivor, but they were taken prisoner. Bart can tell this from the scent trails (trait roll.) So next he's off to follow the trail and see if he can rescue the survivor.
