A new group of takers has formed in the enclave of Trabajo, looking for work. A client in the Recession wants them to retrieve a painting, Thomas Eakin’s “Cowboy Singing” from a museum in Denver. Venturing into the heart of a city is never easy or safe, but the pay is worth it.
This is the first of three games I ran in different systems, linked by famous paintings, a triptych if you will. Enjoy!

Three different settings you say? Intrigued.
Trabajo Gaiden! Woot!
Melissa is back! <3
Crit failures on demand made the session pretty great. I’d have to say the biggest thing that red markets one-shots seem to lack is more of the economic pressure that shows up in the campaigns. Maybe starting the players off with some sort of situation, like debt or a community need or a favor that they need to try to do while still making money would help.
Something like delta green’s “what type of experience brought your guy in” except for economic pressure.
I just wanted to say that I absolutely started crying when they got to the wailing wall because those people are saints oh my god. What a beautiful game.
@Velasa – thank you for your comment. It was the highest complement you could have paid me. I set out to add a sense of pathos in this game and I am glad I reached at least one listener.
You reached at least two Ross! I am stealing that for my campaign though so…. I have purloined your pathos.
(Also it was weird hearing the character names from the One Shot Podcast episode, as they were soooo different. Aaron’s Greasy is a much more cleancut character than your Greasy for a start… and Loman had 100% less flopsweat than James’s)
