I am developing a one shot adventure for MACE East 2016 for The Last Parsec. It does not have to be Savage Worlds or The Last Parsec but that’s what is pulling in players. This adventure was first inspired by recent terrain work I have done. I wanted something where I can use the following…

Second Session with really well. I added a few things, including some Ghouls that the clerics at one time were…
