Story Hooks

Last year I discovered I had a 12 year old cousin that plays RPGs.

DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW AWESOME THAT IS?!?!?!?!

It is supremely awesome! Yes it is.

After discovering this, I went on a campaign to supply her with a wide range of gaming materials. Aside from buying all kinds of stuff, her Mom mentioned that the aforementioned cousin (her daughter) was going to run a game, and some story hooks might assist her. So here a few hooks I came up with.

Escape from Space Station Hydra

   A routine refueling stop turns deadly, when the station’s AI apparently goes insane and start shutting down entire sections of the station. Will you and your crew be able to get off the station before the Station’s AI succeeds in trapping you on the station and turning off the life support? Rogue maintenance droids and out of control station defenses are all that stand in your way.

The Edo

   The T.C.S. Colony ship Edo went missing 142 years ago, on its way to the Zathras system. Disappeared with all hands, thought to be lost for all time.

   Long range scanners have picked up an object entering the edge of T.C.S. space. It’s transponder code matches the Edo’s. The Admiralty is requesting that any ship or outpost within range, locate and investigate immediately.

The Monoliths of Mazenar

   The Interstellar Institute has lost an expedition. The survey party sent to Mazenar to evaluate the planet for colonization is 20 days overdue. All attempts at contact have failed. The Institute Director will pay for an enterprising crew to find and return the crew of the T.C.S. Gloval Survey ship.

   Their last transmission reported that they had found a vast plain of carved monoliths, and that were going to investigate.

Transport Duty

   Wihelm Von Brunner, Administrator of the planet Kaldras has asked you and your crew to deliver and important package to the Inverness Research station in the Inglenor system. Piece of cake, right? Then why is your ship being followed? What is the mysterious package? Who is following you, and why? Can you make it to the research station before they catch you or something goes wrong?
