Dirtworthy’s Revenge

4 players

TechLevel: 4 (mostly, see below)

Description: Farmer Joe Dirtyworthy is a TL-4 paranoid/schizophrenic belligerent citizen of Carnage County. His prize 4H sheep has been stolen in the night, he believes by space aliens. His delusions give him three stupendous feats per turn. His sole drive is to rescue his sheep. He commands a gang of angrily dehydrated migrant farm hands. They will obey his orders and attack anyone who might have a cold beverage handy.

In truth, the sheep was stolen by three TL-4 genetic research assistants (read: idiots) who work for Dr. Eugene Splicenfurter. Dr. Splicenfurter is employed by MEGACorp., and evil organization bent on cloning all high quality goods (like sheep and PBB’s) into their own cheap imitations. Dr. Splicenfurter is a scientific genius, and has three Scientific Feats per turn (player must justify the scientific possibility, and should include sufficient techno-babble to entertain the other players). He commands a team of scientists armed with portable research gear and are heading for their newly rented facility across town. They are always on the lookout for more advanced technology and new lifeforms to clone. (read: want to capture the aliens)

Ruby Stonewear is a TL-4 jewelry thief and importer that parked her get-away vans (full of diamonds) in front of a local Qwik-E-Mart for slurpees. Farmer Dirtworthy’s farm hands stole both vans to pursue the stolen sheep and Ruby has every woman’s desire to regain the diamonds. Ruby’s experience with security systems and evading the law gives her Ninja-like Spider Gymnastics and Stealth. (Player may choose either Ranged Weapon ability or One Stupendous Feat per turn.) Ruby commands a squad of safe-crackers, thugs, and ne’er-do-wells who disguise their appearance with alien masks.

Albert Ian L’Yer is a TL-7 legal representative of the United Federation for Order, a non-profit organization for the respectful treatment of aliens. Al Ian, as his friends call him, is delivering a cease-and-desist letter to Ruby and her gang for portraying aliens in a negative manner. Being from another planet Al Ian does not suffer from the negative effects of gravity (Spider Gymnastics), has Supernatural Mental Influence (*see Rule Book Addendum- Super Powers), and one Stupendous Feat per turn. Al Ian L’Yer commands a clutch of alien ‘legal assistants’, the kind you find down at the docks at midnight.
