Fifty Two Hooks Part 14

As promised to [livejournal.com profile] babalon_93, I'm going to be doing 52 items of my own for the next year.

I'll be trying to come up with a new "game idea" for a RPG every week. These can be very minor (Suitable for a single session), to medium (suitable for a multi-week campaign) to major (Suitable to build a whole world around).

I have used NONE of these before, so although some of these have been kicking around the old grey matter for ages, this is the first time I have most of them down on screen.

Hook
: Red Star Rising
(ongoing campaign)

Aboard the orbital habitat "Yuri Gagarin", danger is only an inch beyond the metal skin that keeps your atmosphere in. It's not just the environment that might kill you either. The forces of Capitalism envious of your glorious achievements and will do whatever they can to destroy this jewel in the Communist crown.

Roleplaying in an alternate future where communism didn't fall, it thrived. Players are low level members of the party aboard a massive space station, run with practical (if primitive) engineering.

SYSTEM: GURPS, Traveller.

Very apropos, given that space geeks celebrated Yuri's Night two days ago.

So that'd be "Red Star, Winter Orbit" then.
