In case you haven’t heard, Requiem was shelled at our last event by train-born artillery, as the Jones Collective declared war on the fold. The firepower of the train struck every hour on the hour, ensuring that our local doctors would have plenty of work. Next month, it’s time to do something about it, which can be summed up in two words:
Train job.
Some backstory: the Oxline is a railroad that runs north to south across the wastes, from Requiem to Bravado. Near Requiem, the Fallow Hopes have a mobile outpost, hauled by a locomotive, with enough artillery to level most of the Fold. Using his powers of compulsion, Jones and his followers stole the train, and now have brought all its firepower to bear in his war against Requiem. At our April gathering, you’ll have a chance to board the train, fight your way through, and take out the artillery that's been shelling you.
In order to give everyone who wants to do the job a chance, it’ll take multiple missions to fully disable the artillery. Which means we’ll need plenty of NPCs Saturday morning to run the modules. To make this happen, we’re asking for your help. Anyone who wants to do the train job Saturday morning can do so, but they also have to do an NPC shift on the train either before or after.
How will this work? If you want to do the train job, just grab some NPC gear and show up for the mod (you’ll find out more Friday night). When you do, you’ll be split into two groups. One group will put on NPC blacks and try to murder their friends while portraying fanatical members of the Jones Collective. Then, once that mission is done, they’ll gear up as their player characters, and the first group will NPC for them.
This lets us do high-octane action and put you through a nasty gauntlet as you fight from car to car, while still having other threats go on at the campsite. We’re using a special location for the train that has yet to see a combat mod, and we promise high risk, high reward to anyone who dares to ride the train.
And, of course, if you just want to volunteer to NPC and kill your friends during this mission, we can accommodate that as well. Remember, tickets for our next event, Reign of Terror, are on sale now, with Early Bird still available. See you in Requiem!
