The Rise of Quick-Clank McCrank is a Wild West-themed fantasy adventure set within the town of Westhallow¸ a small far-flung farmstead settlement on the edge of civilization. You should be able to drop this adventure into any campaign setting¸ published or otherwise. This adventure contains a balanced mix of the three pillars of RPG play: Social Interaction¸ Exploration¸ and Combat. The aim for this first adventure is to allow the players to explore and discover Westhallow¸ and act as the introductory adventure for a yee-hawin'¸ knee-slappin'¸ Wild West setting.
The Plot:
Bellis Rustgear is a rock gnome inventor who lives with her twin sons in the town of Westhallow¸ a quiet and remote assemblage of farmsteads and businesses barely populous enough to be called a village. The creative gnome has invented a series of weapons she calls 'leadspitter pistols¸' an invention she believes will one day take the world by storm. To help showcase her creation to 'taller folks¸' she created a clockwork humanoid with a quirky personality.
One night the clockwork invention malfunctioned¸ taking its fictitious personality to the extreme. Naming itself Quick-Clank McCrank¸ the construct stole Bellis's leadspitters and gear. Creating new clockwork humanoids that share its bizarre mannerisms and armed with Bellis's weapons¸ Quick-Clank has taken control of Westhallow and forced the residents to roleplay its vision of a strange society where people use words like 'howdy' and 'yeehaw.'
Now Quick-Clank is ready to inflict some new and dangerous oddity onto the good people of Westhallow; an event that will take its rootin'-tootin' vision to the extreme!
Things to expect:
- Clock-work Cowboys
- Pistol Stand-offs
- Gun-slinging
- Hoedowns
- Rodeos
- Yee-Haw's
- Tons of fun
- Lots of laughs
- A color changing wagon?! (No need to paint it¸ right?)
