Two Lost Crates- Week 1

I’ve wanted to write up another scenario for the blog since I posted “A Man of His Word”, but I’m having trouble spreading my creativity between blogging, my current Victoriana campaign, and writing a new scenario.  To free up a little time and energy, I’m taking a hiatus from producing weekly content in favor of scenario writing. You will still get progress reports on Fridays, but until the majority of the writing is done that will be the extent of my blogging.

I spent some time over Christmas thinking over past Victoriana adventures. I’ve a run few of which I’m proud, but the adventure couldn’t be specific to the player characters of my group, and needed to stand alone. I decided on a scenario called “Two Lost Crates”. As the title suggests, in the adventure the party try to recover two crates stolen from a dockside warehouse in London, leading them to pull two heists: one in a low class environment, and one in a high class environment.

It’s coming along well enough. There are tons of ideas, habits, and techniques in my head when I run a game. I’m trying to figure out how much of that needs to be in the scenario. I’ll keep posting my progress each Friday. I have about 3,600 words of 6,000 written for my first draft. We should be able to continue with the weekly content in February.

If you have run or played in my other scenario “A Man of His Word”, I would love to hear from you in the comments section.
