Alright, anyone who knows RPG knows all about Suppliments. Now, I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm not holding my breath for any Serenity RPG Suppliments. I figure the Core book is all they're gonna put out and we likely won't be seeing anything other than that one.

So in lue of any OFFICIAL suppliments, I wanna go to the Experts of this universe: I'm going to the Browncoats.

What am I asking? Well, expect a few more threads along these lines. This one however is a request for Jobs. What kinda gigs are a crew of Space Pirates gonna get thier hands on?

This isn't just for the crew of Serenity folks. Hell, a few I've thought up involve jobs that've come about as a result of the things Serenity did.

So, to get the ball rolling, here's a few of my own Job ideas:

================================================
TITLE
Bad Luck Break Out

CODE
2AGE12

WRITTEN BY
Joey Friloux

LOGLINE
The crew get an emergency wave offering 10,000 plat to anyone who can rescue Hwai Tong, an infamous crime lord who calls Persephone home. Unfortunately, he's on his way to a new home; a penal moon where he is to be incarcerated for the remainder of his years. Will the crew be able to intercept the Aliance prison ship or will they try to prevent others from doing a job more immoral than what they are capable of?

=================================================
TITLE
Late Fees

CODE
2AGE13

WRITTEN BY
Joey Friloux

LOGLINE
A job on Ariel goes bad and the two security bots that the Captain rented for extra protection are destroyed. Blue Sun's Rent-a-Bot office is less than pleased and collects the collatoral for the bots; the crew's ship.

=================================================
TITLE
The Answer to Life, the Universe, Everything...

CODE
2AGE14

WRITTEN BY
Joey Friloux

LOGLINE
The crew get a job salvaging the multiple wreckages let over after a massive battle between the Aliance and the Reavers. They aren't the only ones interested in the salvage though; the Aliance has it's own cleaning crew to do the job, the Reavers are likely still about, and it seems every salvage crew worth it's salt is interested in the wreckage. Why? Because "you can't stop the signal", and the remains of Mr. Universe's computers are supposedly somewhere in the mess.

I'm not quite sure what you're talking about. I rpg all the time, and I know the value of supplements and source books. What's this about episodes?

When RPG'ing Serenity, I can't help but think of each role playing session as an "episode" of the show.

What I meant about the suppliments was that they likely won't be putting any books out with new information regarding the game. That's purely speculation on my part, but i can't help but think it's going to be true.

As such, this thread's purpose is to provide ideas for Jobs/Story Ideas/New Episodes, that anyone can borrow from to apply to thier Serenity RPG campaign.

AS I suggested when someone posted this earlier, if it's just for the game, take westerns, cannibalize them and adapt them.

well gorram, if nobody else is going to offer suggestions... here's a couple more on my part...

=================================================
OUT OF GAS, TAKE 2
The crew run out of gas and have to make an emergency landing. How, oh how, will they find more fuel on this dessolate planet. Meanwhile, another ship lands nearby, and while thier crew is away...
=================================================
GUNRUNNING
The Captain is mighty proud of his ship's new cannon. The Aliance though is not so impressed and feels the need to dock.
=================================================

...ok... that's all i got.
