I’ve been prepping for a small Con game I’m going to run in about three weeks. A few of the Gm’s have got into the habit of making a “trailer” video for the games we run. (If the sharing of any of this copyrighted content here is a problem, please let me know and I’ll remove it)

Also, here’s a bunch of leading questions I was going to throw at the players to get things going. The setting is loosely based on Hatchet city, but with Fury Road and general Mad Max influences.

Hx

How did you come to Wonderland, and how did you find your role here?

You are all companions. You might not be friends, but are at least temporary allies.

Ask Hx Questions.

Are you allied to a gang, or are you a lonewolf?

Roll Hot

10+ You are in with…(pick two)

7-9 You are in with…(pick one)

miss, or choose: You have enemies…(MC picks one)

Rothschild

Rothschild’s gang (Mouse, Coldtrain, Stav)

Security (Harradin, Joe’s Girl, Corbett)

Dunes (Monk, Exit, Rice)

Dust (Witch, Doghead, Matilda)

Do you drive a road machine or do you ride shotgun?

If you drive, your machine is…(choose one from each section):

Strength: Tough, Big, Souped up, Fast, Agile, Powerful, Armoured, Gun mounts, Wheel spikes, Transport.

Weakness: Gas guzzler, Light weight, Slow, Open to the environment, Difficult to maneuver, Small, Patched together, Unreliable.

If you ride shotgun, pick another character’s machine to ride in.

If you are The Driver, don’t pick; you already have an awesome beast. Instead, tell everyone about some of the crazy shit you’ve seen out there in the Dustbowl. Pick one:

Arable land, beyond a distant mountain range

The ruins of a great city

A deserted military compound, on the edge of the distant mountains

A gorge, deep with flowing waters

A canyon; the perfect hideout

Each player answers one of:

If the…

water

food

diesel

ammo

love

…runs out, who can you turn to for supply?

Mouse, Coldtrain, Stav, Harradin, Joe’s Girl, Corbett, Monk, Exit, Rice, Doghead, Matilda

Then pick any number of reasons why this is a hard thing to do:

You hate them. Why?

They hate you. Why?

It will endanger them. How?

It will endanger you. How?

It will make someone envious. Who?

You have to steal it. Where?

They have to steal it. Who?

You will be indebted to them. What?
