Why you should check this out: a clear one-shot with well thought-out options for tackling its challenges.
Style: a simple but clear 1-column layout is supported by consistent formatting for headers, enemies and risk rolls. The writing is almost story-like, and the scenario is presented in a linear way.
Structure: the scenario is clear up-front that it’s a one-shot. The next steps are a nice addition for linking to other scenarios. Headings divide the writing into different scenes that the players will encounter.
Content: a few, well-thought out options are given for resolving each of the challenges in the scenario. The adventure involves a change of location which I love in a one-shot as it adds to the action film nature of the game. The writing gets its ideas and the vibe across well.
What might I change?
- Structure: I wonder if an overview might help a referee get a general idea of what the mission is before going into detail
- Content: the flavour for the ’wasted youth’ caught me off-guard and, for me, didn’t feel necessary or linked to the rest of the scenario.
