It is January 1842 & General Elphinstone has withdrawn from Kabul with his entire command. 16,000 soldiers & civilians face destruction if reinforcements in Jalalabad cannot be quickly reached!
Description:
In the Anglo-Afghan War, the mighty British Empire has won every battle, but is in danger of losing the war. After a series of attacks and uprisings the British forces in the capital of Kabul have made a “tactical withdrawal” east, towards the better defended city of Jalalabad. British forces, drawn out in long columns in mountain gorges, have been relentlessly attacked by Afghan forces and the main body of the Grand Army of the Indus is held up in snowy mountain passes. The only hope against annihilation lies with an agile and lightly-armed squad of British and Indian troops, handpicked for their skill and resourcefulness. This small band must make its way through mountainous enemy territory, battling Ghizye Tribesmen and bitterly cold winter weather to reach help in Jalalabad before it’s too late. Do you have what it takes to risk your life for Queen and Country?

The Sky City of Casablanca survived an apocalyptic war, making it 1 of a few bastions of human civilization in a blasted & broken world. Keep it safe & flying in the face of terrible dangers.
Description:
The Great War was fought almost one hundred years ago. Few enclaves of human civilization remain in a world ravaged by Arcane and mechanical weapons. The PCs are the crew of the Calliope, one of the few operational long-range airships left aboard the Sky City of Casablanca, which survived the cataclysm that wrecked most of the world. Casablanca is threatened by gangs of raiders and reavers, by the remnants of the Arcane weapons used to wreck the world, and by a myriad of faults and problems in its own systems. Casablanca has received a distress call from an isolated and hidden settlement, which claims to be under attack, and is offering its store of equipment and skilled personnel to Casablanca, if the sky city will but offer sanctuary.
Join the crew of the airship Persephone as they venture to the mysterious island nation of Nippon, bearing a shipment of arms bound for anti-Shogun partisans. What could possibly go wrong?
Description:
The Empire of Nippon has been ruled for centuries by the Tokugawa Shogunate. It has steadfastly maintained its isolation and traditions while the world has modernized around it. Foreigners are not permitted anywhere in the Empire except in the designated trade port of Nagasaki. At the dawn of the twentieth century there are rumbles of dissent and the stirrings of revolution against the Shogun. Enter the captain and crew of the CRS Persephone, a high-tech airship of sleek design and disputed origin. Never ones to let a little thing like the threat of execution get in the way of commerce, the crew intend to smuggle arms to the anti-Shogun partisans. Should be quick in and out, arms in exchange for gold; with the Shogun's forces ne'er the wiser.
