Outpost Sisyphus - A Sci-Fi Horror Scenario (Part 1 of 2)
Added 2021-05-15 08:28:41 +0000 UTCOutpost Sisyphus is a sci-fi horror scenario created in collaboration with Christopher Stratton Smith and Michael Ghelfi.
Chris wrote and designed the adventure, and he started his own Patreon focused on adventures just recently. Check it out here.
Michael made some ambiance and sound effects for the adventure. Please be sure to check out Michael's Patreon or check out his Youtube channel for more cool soundscapes to spice up your games.
Outpost Sisyphus is structured in a cinematic style with three acts that escalate in terms of action, drama, and tension. The scenario is designed for 3-5 players plus a GM and takes at least 4-5 hours to complete or more, depending on how the players decide to approach the situations and problems presented.
This scenario will be published in two parts. This release contains one of the three acts, three PCs out of a total of nine, and an assortment of relevant VTT-friendly maps. GMs will need to refer to the core rules of their favorite space horror roleplaying game from time to time to determine appropriate skills to be used in certain situations and to flesh out the stats of pre-generated player characters (PCs).
The second part is coming out on the first week of June.
Introduction
The late 22nd century is an unforgiving era of interstellar expansion and corporate greed, where simply being an employee of the wrong company at the wrong time can get you into a world of trouble. In Outpost Sisyphus, a scenario involving a recently acquired barren planet, shady megacorporations, and hostile alien organisms, the characters are administrators, geologists, technicians, medics, construction workers, corporate liaisons, and marshals mostly looking forward to the next paycheck until something sinister disrupts their lives.

PS. This release is just separate files, but I'm looking into creating a separate Foundry Module of this after the full release.
