STRONTIUM DOG: RECRUITMENT DRIVE (using Haunted West quick fire system)
The Search/Destroy Agency needs some experienced bounty hunters to go to the Ancient & Historic City of Milton Keynes and do school careers talks about joining up and life as a Strontium Dog. The Stronts who were supposed to do it are suddenly and inexplicably absent, so you guys have drawn the short straw. Talking to kids – what could possibly go wrong?

STRONTIUM DOG: LOVE IS IN THE AIR VACUUM OF SPACE (using Haunted West quick fire system)
Once every few years the timid, harmless Gronks swarm: they float around their solar system, emitting an aura of love, peace and harmony to try and make the Galaxy a better place. Unfortunately, a gang of poachers have figured out how to negate the non-violence aura and are slaughtering the Gronks for their pelts. Stronts to the rescue!

I'll be bringing two games this year, Judge Dredd and Dune.

NIGHT OF THE PUMPKIN
System
: Judge Dredd (GW version)

The Pumpkin's coming… The Pumpkin's coming…

It's Halloween in Mega City One Sector 306. As Mega City Judges, it's your job to bring law to a city of 800 million people, where an average of 96 crimes are committed every second.

Halloween is unpredictable. All the crazies come out at Halloween. Mega City One on a normal day is crazy. Halloween is worse. Much worse. Drokk knows what all this pumpkin graffiti is about that's been appearing across the sector. Probably just another juve craze.

Your patrol has pulled the late shift. Fire up your Lawmasters. It’s time to get out on the streets and make sure the citizens of Sector 306 have themselves a peaceful and law-abiding Halloween. If they can’t manage that, they can always cool off in an iso-cube, or meet the business end of your Lawgiver.

Remember: You are the law!

IMPERIAL MEASURES
System
: 2d20 Dune (a crunchier hack)

The year is 10179AG. Twelve years before the events of Dune.

House Harkonnen has had control of the siridar fief of Arrakis for almost 50 years, mining spice for the Empire. Through their persecution of the Fremen, and through the minimisation of outlay on infrastructure and pay, the Harkonnens have managed to pay the tithe they owe to the Emperor, as well as keep a substantial amount of melange for themselves. They have become obscenely wealthy during this period.

Sir Theobald Hagal, notorious libertine and playboy, and cousin by marriage of the Padishah Emperor, Shaddam IV, has gone missing on Arrakis. His mother, Lady Astrid Hagal has petitioned the royal court for help finding her wayward son.

Your team has been assembled and sanctioned to travel by Guild Heighliner to Arrakis, ascertain Theobald’s whereabouts, and if possible bring him safely home.

THE EMPEROR HAS SPOKEN!
