Dealer Posted September 15, 2015 Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 (edited) Love it. Really nice work. Just read it and I'm in the middle of a brainstorm, having all kind of cool ideas. What if...?- They did arrive in Malifaux but they were somehow changed (undead, spirits). You can imagine the rumors of a spectral train raiding the railway lines, assaulting the stations and reaping the souls of the bystanders to recharge the soulstones that power their machine's engine... - They did arrive in Malifaux and remained trapped there with no support. Hunted one by one by the neverborn, the mad general hid the machine and killed all his crew. There he has rested all this time, using his hoard of soulstones to prolong his life, awaiting for the return of humankind. Could make for a cool Goonies-like treasure hunt. Perhap someone unearths some part of Trask's locomotive and the part somehow ends up in the hands of the Fated. Some research earthside could reveal the story and start the hunt for the hoard of soulstones. You can imagine the Guild, Arcanists and most of the factions (outcasts, mercenaries) would be thrilled to get their hands on it.

Sunspotter Posted September 15, 2015 Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 This is an awesome hook! and I have to admit, the aftermath of finding this train would probably be as awesome for FMs as getting there 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever reason the PCs end up for looking for the train, they have to go get the Lieutenants' weapons (one for each suit, naturally) to call the train and battle Trask's spirit for the finale. Meanwhile the weapons start to influence the PCs with the negative aspects of the magic (brutality for the rams, terror for crows, etc.) that become gradually more of a problem over the ala The Rod of Seven Parts.

AgentRock Posted September 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 Granted, so long as you keep me up to date on how it goes . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AgentRock Posted September 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 I should give credit to one of the inspirations for this, the comic book series "The Sixth Gun" from Ony publishing. A lot of the general "theme" or possibly "feel" and the general idea of the weapons started from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dealer Posted September 16, 2015 Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 I read the first number a while ago. Borrowed from a friend. The scene with the gunslinger and the spirit tree was pretty hilarious. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
