Re: Mental Block:Scientist Plot I really like your spring powered cartridges to power propellors. In the first scenario they will have stopped the French from getting the plans..so they think. Then about 4/5 scenarios later they will find one of the cartridges and wonder what the hell it's for. Then about scenario 7/8 they will find the plans combing them with the balloon.

Re: Mental Block:Scientist Plot Yeah I was intending for the balloon to use Hydrogen, finale will be on the airship, which will obviously catch fire and a there will be a race to the gliders to escape. This will take part in Moscow and the whole reason Moscow caught fire was because the Disc was fully charged and they were using the Ray part!!!! FYI Balloons http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balloon_%28aircraft%29 Hydrogen http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Cavendish#Discovery_of_hydrogen You got to love wikipedia. Cheers, BigSteve

Re: Mental Block:Scientist Plot Hi, Some brilliant responses and ideas, thank you for a great response. The problem is all I can think of now is a French attack on England buy mole machines and balloons, ‘the British may control the seas, but we have the air and land’. I like the idea that different levels of sunshine effect its powers, which is a good reason to have it air based. It will always give out and ambient amount of temperature, which is why the French launched the attack and didn’t have any winter kit. Also when the disk is fully charged it can be used as a weapon. Thanks again for the input, BigSteve

Re: Mental Block:Scientist Plot Brilliant ideas, I do like the bombing one, I may have 2 main plots. This is my season as it stands, the premise is that when the French invaded Eygpt they stole a mystical device that can either control weather or generate massive amounts of heat and they intend on using it to invade Russia. The main enemy will be Jean-François Champollion the well known Eygptian Cultist and mystic (I love real historic figures). They intent to mount the Solar Disc on a balloon to allow them to better target the device, will probably be ray based. Season One Layout:- Season Start Scenario 1.The Diplomat Scenario 2. British scientist is being blackmailed, hypnotised, kidnapped, turned traitor???? working on designs for a new balloon. PC’s save daughter free scientist etc. Plans have already fallen into French hands. Scenario 3.Stoned in Love Scenario 4. Theft of the Keystone of RA (instruction manual for the stone) from the British Museum or private collector, or maybe even a treasure hunt to find it’s location. PC’s recover original/copy but Jean escapes with original/copy. Scenario 5. Scenario 6. Scenario 7. British Spy returning from France is killed and his dispatch bag taken may coincide with the kidnap/murder of leading Egyptologist, pc’s end up finding plans for this fiendish device. Scenario 8. Season Finale. Got to France/ Russian Advance and destroy fiendish device. Bigsteve

Hi, I am looking for some help and need a bit of a brainstorm to develop a good plot. I am soon going to be running a series of serials based in the early 1800, first year of the campaign is 1812. I have the campaign set out and it starts with them trying to protect and American diplomat. My stumbling block is the 2nd scenario. It has to involve a scientist, professor or Dr who is working on a new design of balloon, but this design will fall into French hands. I need some ideas on how they find out, what is happening and how they resolve it. Ideas so far.. Series of scientist working on same thing are being kidnapped, so players watch the next likely victim, French agent is found with said professor designs, but why has he turned traitor, under hypnosis, family member kidnapped, threatened revenge on British Government. Said professor is kidnapped and the pc’s must follow a series of clues to the kidnapper’s layer. Professor is killed in an explosion and pc’s must find killer, but turns out this was just to conceal the kidnap. Any ideas of help would be great. Cheers, Bigsteve

Re: Search Thanks all for your help and patience, the google tip is very handy. I am sure that option wasn't there last time, but I have only just got the email to say my account has been activate so maybe I wasn't allowed it or maybe I am going mad. But thanks for you help. BigSteve

Hi, I am probably being thick but how do you search the boards. I don't seem to be able to find a search button. Cheers, BigSteve
