I have a group of people who want me to run them through a game using the super-shiny new Serenity RPG game. (I do really love the system

.)

The problem...I can't think of an adventure.

I played a demo run by The Source (our freindly local gaming store) at the midnight showing, but we didn't get very far into the game.

When I have a dry spell I just pick up an "adventure in a can" (read:pre-made) but doesn't seem to be any for this system (or world) yet.

I need some help. I don't have time to build my own adventure from scratch, and I don't have a strong enough idea to "shoot from the hip" and game on the fly.

So if anyone knows of any adventures out there let me know. Cannon, or created characters will work, we're not picky. My players and I will be most greatful for any help. :)

I've heard of writers block, but can a person have GMs block?

My days of not taking you seriously are certainly coming to a middle. - Mal

DREAMTROVE

There are endless ideas already.
Here are some sources:

1. Any episode. Whenever they land on a planet there are always possibilities for a job, often other than the ones they are doing.

2. Any similar setting from any episode of cowboy bebop or outlaw star.

3. Any shadow run gig, with slight modifications.

4. Any westen, show or film, with more modifications. Take treasure of the sierra madre or the good the bad and the ugly, anything from wild wild west.

5. Anything from that period of history, transposed to the space-western reality of firefly. It could be the gold rush, or the ok coral.

I'm sure the Trail of Tears would be very easy to translate into firefly.

That oughtta keep you going for a decade.

I'm going to kill them all. That oughtta make them vote for Harriet Miers.

Hello there. This is my first post, even though I've been a fan since Firefly first aired. Why I never posted until now remains a mystery to me.
Anyway, here's an adventure idea I have that you can use (just let me look at the RPG book. . .).

The crew (whoever they may be) gets a job on Paquin. One of the planet's many circus' needs a new animal act, but the desired creture is not native to that planet, but on Verbena. The circus owner(s) refuses to reveal the identity of the animal until he/they knows someone WILL do the job; judgesting that the animal maybe endangered on its world, or very very dangerous or both. And if the crew is successful in transporting the animal, they soon discover that the circus owner(s) horribly abuse the poor creature.

What happens along the way? Does the crew take the "Greenpeace position?" What is the animal, anyway? (my idea is a geniticly engineered animal made to resemble a dragon, but that might be too extreme)

Hope this is useful to you. Have a good day.
