Boxed Set

By Andrea Landaker
Players: 8-10
Genre: Supernatural steampunk
As the century turns,
the world is changing. Clipper ships can cross the 
oceans much faster than
previous ships, bringing trade and news faster than ever. 
New
inventions such as the telegraph, light bulb, and phonograph diminish the
influence of time and distance. The steam engine has made trains and factories
more and more prevalent, and the divide between the rich businessmen and the
poor factory workers is great. Waves of immigrants coming to the United States
have brought their own ideas and customs.
Our
story starts in the year 1901 on Captain Sibbald's clipper ship, the
"Salty Swan". Two weeks ago, you all boarded the ship at San
Francisco, bound for Shanghai, China and then Shimoda, Japan. The captain
expects to reach Shanghai in about another week. So far, the voyage has been
fairly uneventful – there have been days of seasickness, days of no wind, and
days of boredom. But last night there was a terrible storm, and all the
passengers were told to stay in their rooms. Today the seas are calm once more.
The captain has invited all of you to dine in his quarters, as you often do,
and you are expecting an enjoyable evening with the other passengers aboard the
Salty Swan.
