Canyon Run

2-5 players

TechLevel: Any

Description: This is basically a vehicle-based race to the finish (or your doom). A narrow canyon full of obsticles should be set up with ‘Willie’ at one end and ALL the players at the other. This may mean in higher tech levels that vehicles and troops will actually start within range of one another. There should be as many little rovers, trucks, APC’s, scooters, and bicycles as possible. The following letter is the personal statement of one of the possible factions: Intergalactic Express When it absolutely, positively, “kill anyone who slows you down, shoot your way through customs” has to be there overnight.

Dear Faction Leaders

It has been brought to our attention by concerned citizens that the delivery route for our extremely important shipment has been leaked to your operatives. Our shipment of unique doorknob samples for Mr. Willie Loman must be made by the end of the workday. We ask that you do not interfere with our delivery employees.

Despite this polite request, we certainly expect our efficiency to be challenged by yourself or your agents. Please be aware that I have decided to oversee the delivery of our doorknobs personally. In fact, I will be managing a selected group of highly trained Package Protection Patrolmen (also known as PEEPs). Me and my PEEPs will be in full preparedness and have all authority to use extensive force to ensure our package arrives safely and on time.

Also, I have been asked by Mr. Loman’s attorneys to inform you that Mr. Loman is in no way connected to a certain stage play, Death of a Salesman, and they expect him to survive the entire ordeal. Failure on any of your parts to respect that wish will result in endless nagging and junk mail subscriptions.

Thank you
