The Department of Fabricant Management - Third Mission

Mission Three: The Murder Sweep!

There's been a murder downtown.  No, not that one. No, not that one.  Yes, I know there are a lot of murders.  But we think this one might have a connection to our case.  It's time to go in there and examine the crime scene itself.  Maybe ask around.  The murder is probably still nearby...

This mission costs 2 Budget, and might provide People and Place evidence.  I'm also spending 2 Budget to bring a Lab Technician, hoping to improve my odds of getting good evidence from the scene.

Fallout 4: Red Rocket Filling Station in 15mm

Looking for a terrain project, and having done a few "cyberpunk" buildings already, I decided to look for something fun and iconic that I could use with "This Is Not A Test" or maybe "Scrappers" or one of the zombie games out there.

Digging around, I settled on the "Red Rocket Filling Station" from Fallout 4.

Cue "Rocket 69"!

Blast Pistol: Attack on Malproksima Colony

Hi!  Until I have time to set up something new, here's another battle "report" from the pile of stuff underneath my desk.  This time, it's Nordic Weasel Games "Blast Pistol" (a "pay what you want" bundle at the time of writing).  It was originally planned as a "living ruleset", but I don't know how that turned out.  The game was pretty fun, though.

I apologize for some of my half-painted terrain.  I was still new at this at the time.  (Not that I don't have half-painted terrain now, I just try to hide it better.)

Fun fact: "Bloo" is a lady here.  I think I've got my first transgender character.  Huh!

Anyway, here's what happened:

Komrades in Arms: Satellite Reign with FiveCore

A little something different.  Here's a thing I did a few years ago, but hosted elsewhere.  I thought I'd add it here just to make it easier to find, and to generally consolidate things.  This is actually the second mission in this series, but I've lost the images for the first mission.

This uses Nordic Weasel Games' "FiveCore" rules, with custom advancement and a "Satellite Reign" theme.

Republishing this also gives me a chance to spell "satellite" correctly.

This is an escort mission: Get the former corp guy into the UZYKORP lab to steal a prototype weapon.  We gave our charge an empty pistol.  Don't want him getting himself hurt.  I should note that I'm not using random events, because there's too much to keep track of in a solo game as it is.  Also, since I've only got four figures, the activation level (figures activated on a normal turn) is "2".

Beginning mission... GO!

The Department of Fabricant Management - Second Mission

The previous mission, "Grassing the Neighborhood", wasn't particularly fruitful.  Agent M managed to pull a rogue Fabricant off of the streets, but that's about it.  It's time to draw on the Department's resources and talk to one of their paid informants, a "snitch".  "Meeting the Snitch" costs 5 Budget.

The meet is set in a rough part of town.  Tensions are high, and violence could erupt at any moment, so Agent M is bringing along some backup (at the cost of 3 Budget) in the form of Officer Nolan, a specialist Riot Officer, armed with a blaster rifle (on stun) and stun grenades.  Officer Nolan is in full uniform, but even if he wasn't, the residents can smell bacon from 60cm away, and neither officer starts out hidden.
