Years ago, a group of civilians were caught in a battle between superheroes and villains. These hapless bystanders were temporarily transformed into mindless monsters at gate 9 of an airport. They were turned back into normal humans, but their lives were never the same. Now, the government is poised to remove their civil rights because they are technically registered as non-humans. However, they are given a lead on a potential source for superpowers. If they gain powers, perhaps they can use them to erase any evidence of their past. Learn what happens when the survivors of Gate 9 are given a chance to take fate into their own hands...

It will travel hundreds of miles to distant enclaves, trading food for technology and other supplies. Fallen Flag has signed on to protect the train during the journey but the real Bounty is in finding jobs at each enclave they visit.

Fallen Flag has evacuated a group of refugees in order to bring them to their own enclave. Between them and safety stands an unknown number of vectors wandering the countryside.

It's day two of the investigation into the murder of Texas Ranger Norm Davis and the special team has managed to reassemble much of his case against the corrupt officials of Page, a window into a network of malfeasance which spreads across Bates County, Texas.

No one in the town knows who built it or how it came to rest so near to their remote trading islands..

A long time ago, humans walked the face of the world, but were destroyed for their arrogance and hubris. The Bright Ones lifted up the simple animals of forest and field, giving them the ability to think, build, and stand on their own two feet. In order to keep the newly Favored animals from making the same mistakes the humans did, The Bright Ones gave them the Compact — a book telling them how to live together in harmony. Those who engage in dark deeds or refuse the ways of Harmony eventually become Dire — sinister, twisted versions of themselves, acting out of greed, vengeance, or selfishness. You must protect the town of Cairn and help it survive the winter. But beware! For you can become Dire, too. Last summer, Sean ran a one shot of Cairn. I enjoyed the game and thought you might appreciate learning about the system. Enjoy!
