The British Empire has no equal by land, sea, or sky. Now the best & brightest of His Majesty's subjects have set their sights on the next phase of English preeminence - to the moon!
Description:
After years of utter secrecy, an unexpected announcement – June 1, 1909 will mark the dawn of the Space Age, with a great journey to the moon launched from Constantinople’s Tatavala Aerospace Port. The British Empire has encouraged its friends and rivals to turn their eyes to that ancient city and witness mankind’s first journey among the stars. A carefully selected and well-trained crew from around the globe will travel faster and farther than any in history, orbiting and landing on the moon and returning with artifacts and images from that farthest shore. True, the technology is untested and bleeding edge, the plan ambitious in the extreme. But the greatest minds of the Empire have gotten the mission to this point – what could go wrong?

Join an expedition traveling up the Amazon River in search of the fabled city of gold, El Dorado. Will you succeed where so many others have failed?
Description:
El Dorado. The name conjures up a hundred different images and all of them covered in gold! Countless treasure hunters have chased the legend and many have died in the attempt. No trace of the man, the city, the empire were ever found. By the 19th century, most had dismissed El Dorado as a myth. However, an intriguing 16th century map has surfaced in Lisbon. The map has been attributed to Francisco de Orellana, the only explorer known to have mapped the entire Amazon basin. He disappeared on his second voyage, so quite how the map made it to Lisbon is a mystery. Equally enigmatic is the writing covering the reverse, referring to the "Golden One!" The King of Portugal will pay you handsomely to take a boat up the Amazon to follow where Orellana's map leads. Will you and your team succeed where so many have failed? Find El Dorado and fortune and glory will be yours forever!

The eccentric yet stalwart residents of a former Colorado boomtown must investigate a series of mysterious disappearances & confront other strange occurrences that have plagued their humble town.
Description:
The year is 1907. The hectic boomtown days of Harthall Colorado's gold rush era have long since passed. Those who settled the town have considered themselves fortunate to become part of a thriving mining industry. Precious metals and arcane salts pulled from the mines created steady labor for the citizens. Ample tax revenue and competent leadership has provided a solid foundation for the fledgling community. However, in spite of their good fortunes odd occurrences began to plague the town three years ago. At first it was minor things, occasional brief tremors in the ground, leaves seeming to blow in absent wind but as the incidents became more and more frequent they became more disturbing. Crop growth began to develop in odd patterns. Eerie colored lights appeared in the night sky. Finally, just this week, a few townsfolk disappeared... and last night's mining shift hasn't returned.
