An enclave near the Mississippi River needs a person smuggled across the border to perform a vital task. One group of Takers has to deal with hostile humans, the undead, and greed if they want to pull the job off. This is a playtest for the second edition of Red Markets, focusing on new combat mechanics. Enjoy!

In the wastes of the Loss, if you can find the lone samurai in a digital camo kimono, Mako, you can hire him and his crew of takers known as the Sharks. But other times, no one wants to hire the Sharks so they have to go out and salvage industrial grade plumbing equipment to pay the bills.

This playtest was run by Caleb using his new beta rules for Red Markets second edition, and is set in the Sunrise enclave. Listen to an ongoing campaign set in Sunrise on Hebanon Games Open Design. If you join his Patreon, you can get access to the rules.

Micah is on Twitch where he paints 40k figures and talks Warhammer.

Taker groups are based in the school club rooms and named after their groups. The Chess Club is one such Taker group and they’ve gotten a contract for a closure job. A famous author with potentially a lost manuscript, located inside a major city. The Chess Club looks for both but entering a city is still a major risk…

Despite the devastation of the Crash, wildlife still persists in the Loss. The D4s must navigate their way past dangerous animals and other hazards to secure a cache of rare firearms.
