A Judge Dredd scenario - Paint the Town Yellow

Here's another one-shot scenario I've whipped up for using FATE Core in the Judge Dredd universe. I've play tested it with three Judges and thing went very well (we only played for about 2 1/2 hours could have done with a full 3).

In this scenario a evil electrical genius with a grudge against the Judges, baits them and draws them into his underground palace of death traps. Judges will have to do some investigation and fight a series of gang bangers, all while being distracted by random street crimes.

Download the scenario, and let me know how your play through goes. :)

Here's a session report.

A DUNE scenario - Revenge Tastes like Dust

DUNE is such a classic setting and it really hasn't been done justice in the world of RPGs, so when I decided I wanted to play a game down in the sand, it was a case of making my own...sort of. I used the FATE core rules to run a very enjoyable one-shot and the link below takes you to the scenario I played. This is a blood and water scenario, not a high brow political adventure. Sharpen your knives, and go liberate some water!

A Judge Dredd scenario - It Aint Christmas

Here's another scenario for playing an RPG in the world of Judge Dredd. The title of it comes from
the latest craze to sweep through Mega City One, "Sledding", where citizens climb onto wheeled sleds and zoom down the outside of the blocks and right into trouble. I've played this successfully with three Judges using the FATE system. The scenario itself is about as generic as they come so will fit whatever system you're using for Judge Dredd.

A Judge Dredd Scenario - Hospital Corners

"Hospital Corners" is a system-generic scenario for use in playing a role playing session in the universe of Judge Dredd. It's designed with a single session in mind, but with a few incidents along the way that can be dropped in to extend the session if you want.

I wrote this scenario for a game of FATE but it has no stats or figures, so it can be used in whatever system you're using to Judge Dredd.

It's a minor investigation type scenario with a planned battle towards the end. The drop-ins already mentioned can be used to spice up the mid game of things start to lag.

It's free, so why not have a read :) Download the scenario
