Core Rulebook (or Quickstart Guide) Additional One-Shots

So far we’re very happy to see Age of Metal get so many views and downloads so quickly, so I thought I’d bring up something which I believe is mentioned in the core rulebook.

I’m not sure whether or not I removed any mention of it, but we hoped to have 4 one-shot scenarios in the core rulebook for people to familiarise themselves with the game’s setting and have some pre written content to call upon rather than having to come up with their own stories and sessions. They are to be made with the option to use the pre-generated characters of the quickstart guide, or as a short and simple game for players to have a crack at creating their own PCs. All of these one-shots have been lightly playtested, but need further tidying up before being uploaded here for people to playtest the scenarios themselves. Just out of anyones interest I’ll put the titles and descriptions of each one-shot here in the meantime.

The Paradigm Pursuit: The crew decide to take on a proper, good old fashioned bounty. One that’s gone cold for quite some time. The target: the CEO of a prestigious mining and infrastructural technology company, Gerald Paradigm. The hitch: no one’s seen Paradigm in half a decade, other than on billboards. But Paradigm industries is alive and well, so to put this bounty to rest it’s kill Paradigm or wipe whatever’s left of him off of the face of Ventrum.

Highly Strung: A phaerodaikin (giant mutant spider) being researched by — has escaped her lab and fled into Cyntric’s Shatterfield reserve. She wants the crew to find it, capture it and bring it back as unharmed as is possible so she may continue her experimentation. What could go wrong?

Broken Puppets: A young, wheelchair-bound woman has gone missing,  alongside a recent string of disappearances of individuals with physical disabilities. Her worried caretaker has reached out to the crew in hopes that someone can find out where she has gone and what has happened to her.

Death March: The crew are hired to take the role of security at a parade as the woman organising it feels that her celebration may be perceived as a move on the territory of one of Gurranai's major gangs. They are to protect her from any would-be assassins and ensure that everything proceeds smoothly.
