Grounded! -or- All right, who stole the damn airship?
Summary:
Your gang of smugglers was supposed to be making a clean getaway after a job in Constantinople. Your airship has vanished, however. Find it and get away while dodging police and other criminals.
Description:
You’re the crew of a tramp freighter airship. You aren’t exactly pirates, and you aren’t exactly smugglers, but you have a flexible attitude toward the acquisition and sale of cargo. You were in Constantinople for a little bit of R & R, when a contact fed you a juicy, juicy tip about a hidden art treasure. You ran the heist perfectly, but you’ve just arrived at the hidden airship field where the Bonnie Prince Charlie was supposed to be waiting... and seen only cows and a few surly peasants. You’ll need to find your airship (smuggling without an airship is just far too much work, after all), and you’ll need to avoid whatever goons and thugs have been put on your tail by a very unhappy art collector while you do so.

Dreams…Everyone has them, you want to control them! Whispers have come to you via the dreaming realms of a place of ancient power in Arcadia, Greece. Can it be found? Your party will find out.
Description:
Dreams…Everyone has them, you want to control them or at least get paid very well to help those who do! Whispers have come to some of you through the dreaming realms of a place of power in the ancient province of Arcadia, Greece - a place the locals call the Valley of Dionysus. A collector of rare dreams has gathered a group of like-minded dreamers, a guide, and a bodyguard to seek out this hidden grotto of the god of wine. If it could be found, imagine the power and influence you and your allies would have……for the British Empire of course. The call, the temptation for the dreamers is strong; for the others the pay is generous for a simple ride through the Greek countryside. No airship can navigate the narrow and wild confines of the mysterious Valley of Dionysus, so you will have to follow the ancient paths that the locals have used for ages. What could possibly go wrong?

The Texas Rangers keep the peace on the border between the Republic and the Empire of Aztlan. Locals near White Sands reported strange lights and your squad is sent to figure out what’s going on.
Description:
It is the job of the famous Tejas Rangers to keep the peace along the border between the Republic and the Empire of Aztlan to the southwest and the Apache Nation to the northwest. The saber-rattling between the U.S. President Teddy Roosevelt and the belligerent Aztecs is making the higher-ups back in Austin nervous and patrols along the long border have been increased. Locals up near the White Sands dunes, on the edge of Apache territory, have reported seeing some strange lights at night and your squad is charged with figuring out what the fuss is all about. Perhaps you’ll get a chance to test out some of the newfangled clockwork gear and weapons the U.S. Army gifted to the Rangers a few months ago.
You’re among the lowest of the low, but even the lowly have some pride. You are the Rat King, London’s strangest beggar, and his outcast allies, out to avenge the death of one of your few friends.
Description:
Cat Hollis was a sweet girl who shared the cellar with all of you. The Rat King saw three well-dressed gentlemen accost her in an alley. The police won’t listen to the likes of you, however. You’ve fallen too far to be believable. If there’s going to be any justice for Cat, it’s up to you to provide it. You will find ways to use your odd but considerable talents to find Cat’s attackers, and then bring them to justice, however you choose. You’re the wretched and lowly of the earth, but a few posh gentlemen are about to discover that even gutter rats have teeth. Of course, it might help if you also had allies or weapons. Being able to go out on the streets without making little children run away in terror would be nice, too, but you can’t have everything.
