Murder on the Orient Express
3:10 to Yuma
Mission Impossible
A universal law of storytelling: You want to ramp up the drama? Set it on a Train.
We go to some far-flung corner of Tyria where, for some reason, there are no Ley-lines. Three competing rail companies: "A joint Xunlai and Ministry of Transport Operation", "Rata GO (Maglev Trains)", "The Rail Legion" set up shop and build out their networks.
Lots of fertile ground for conflict. Between competitors, tech run amok, locals and corporations, banditry.
Some event ideas :
- Fire elemental takes over the boiler of a train, quell it before it de-rails!
- The tunnel is blocked/the bridge is out!
- Stop the Industrialists from displacing locals!
- Untie the maiden from the tracks and stop that Snidely Whiplash!
- Escort the train-robber to the prison train before her gang can bust her free!
Event Timer? I think you mean Train Schedule.
Strike Mission? I think you mean Train Robbery.
Also, get Ringo Starr in to do the voice of the villainous conductor.
