As I noted at RPG Pub, the first module for Hurled into Eternity is ready to go: HS1 – The Star Spangled Standoff.
In keeping with the our 250th celebration of America’s Independence, likewise the townsfolk of Liberty Fork find themselves beset by outlaw forces of the Iron Confederation after the devastating Civil War. The good people of the town simply want a respite from the horrors of that conflict, but the Confederation has other ideas, yet somehow the Shattered Union staggers on.
Fortunately for the townsfolk, The Masked Rider and Spirit Hawk, heroes of the dusty trail, are there to render aid and set the wrong things right!
With all that said as an introduction, I invite you to take a look at the free PDF of the module to see just how things work in Hurled into Eternity. But I also add that it is very much a work in progress. What do I mean? Unlike most types of role-playing games, the western genre can’t fall back onto tropes like exploring dungeons and fighting monsters. Westerns are about shootouts and high stakes. But they also follow a script in a way. By that I mean the Judge needs to think more like a movie director to keep the action flowing.
So with all that said, I present the Alpha scenario of HS1 – The Star Spangled Standoff. I very much look forward to feedback because, unlike writing the rules for the game, modules have proved to be trickier. I’m not saying this as a cop out, but rather I think this is the best idea I’ve put forward so far. It needs input to determine if this is the right track.
So there it is. Download it, give it a whirl, and let me know your thoughts.
The Frontier beckons.
