You also see a situation a lot more complicated. Seems you stole the only medicine that could fix em that train. Your old friend Badger hired a guy by the name of and you didnt even know it. Finn to negotiate on his behalf. Its you, the Alliance, Niska, Whatll you do? Will you and your Crew try to make the locals, and Badger all tied together in one hot sticky things right?

If so, how? Try to steal the cargo back from Niska? What will you and your Crew do? Can you afford to Find another source for the meds? Some other brilliant plan? You know the one. Well, say she managed to sneak a note to another ship in the area and that Colonels more sympathetic to the miners plight.

Instead of turning round and going about his important business, Colonel Thomas Ling decides to investigate further. While hes no shepherd, Col. Ling has faith a-plenty and doesnt mind spreadin it around through the powers granted to him by his station. A mite nave, the Colonel aint been out in this part of the Verse for very long. It was his choice to venture further out into the black, well past his home on Ariel. He doesnt put no stock in fairytales like Reavers or faulty terra-forming equipment, neitherwhich makes him powerfully difficult to deal with.

Will you return the medicine and leave Regina fore the Colonel shows up? Will you panic and wind up getting pinched? Or will you manage to fool the Alliance into thinking Niskas the real problem here? And, more importantly, how in tarnation will you get paid?

Just you wait and see. Credits dont matter to me. How much you payin me again? Social d6. Physical 4 d Shoot 6 d6. Know 8 The Alliance d6. Influence 8 d8. Shoot 6 d8. Notice 6 d6. Focus 6 d6. Sneak 8 In Plain Sight d6. Notice 6 Regulations d8. Trick 8 Fast Talk d6.

They pay you to shoot from your superiors. Big Un d8. Unprincipled 8 55 Gain 1 Plot Point when you roll a d4 instead d8.

Youd sell your own mother to the Reavers to make some of a d8. Your pappy youd throw in for free. On the reroll, all dice that roll 1s or 2s are Shepherds arent the only people in the Verse who believe considered Complications. Or they forgot how to be. Now theyre just nothing. They got out to the edge of the galaxy, to that place of nothing.

And thats what they became. Member when Shepherd Book successfully argued Heavy on atmosphere, dialogue, and tension, Bushwacked with Mal to bury those poor settlers on board that ship? In is the first time we begin to understand the perils of flyin in the FIREFLY RPG, not every session you play requires the Verseand how dangerous it is for folks too nave to you to shoot a gun or throw a jab. Sessions, which are called grasp what that danger might be.

The show opens with a friendly game of basketball. Simon, Sometimes, though, you might wind up arguin with River, and Inara watch the others play in the ships cargo your Crew or your captainjust like good ole Book. Doin so baybut the crews happiness is short-lived. A proximity alert may require a roll of the dice against your own Crewmember. As he investigates Since your needs are pitted against another Crewmembers, the source of the signal, a body crashes into the front of the youd both roll dice to resolve the social conflict.

Step into Shepherd Books shoes for a moment. He didnt Every crewmember is involved in solvin that enigma. A mechanical expert, properly lay the settlers to rest.

Mal protests mildly, saying Kaylee explains that the missing port thrust has caused the that theyre resting pretty darn good already. Well, Book feels ship to spin out of control.

Mal and Zoe act as the ground so strongly about treatin those poor folk right, he wont listen crew and board the vessel to find out what happened to its to Mal this time round. One way or the other, Bookll say a occupants and if theres any cargo on board.

They quickly learn prayer for their souls. Since Mal has to convince the shepherd that theres a fortune of farming supplies and nutrients left why they need to move on, Book sets the stakes for this roll. The outcomell determine who gets their way. If all that werent strange enough, the captain found First, Book compiles his dice pool by adding his Social something else on board.

Or rather, some one. Mal understands all Next, its the captains turn and hell attempt to raise the too well what path the survivor has been set on. Though he is stakes. He adds his Social d8 Attribute, his Focus d6 Skill, in danger of becoming a Reaver, the survivor is still human, and his Ships Captain d8 Distinction, seeing how hes in just one whos witnessed all manner of horrors. This little fact charge. He rolls: causes the crew to argue with one another but, in the end, 7 4 2 Mal knows the score, even if everybody elseincluding the The total of Mals two highest dice comes to Because Alliance cavalrydoesnt.

Mal was unable to raise the stakes, hes forced to agree to Books wishes. He dont like the risk theyre taking, but he can see the value in Books way of thinking. An Alliance cruiser appears and the crew is accused of murdering the settlers. To make matters worse, Commander Harken takes the crew into his interrogation room and rescues the survivor.

The minute the word Reavers enters the conversation? He throws the book at Mal. To him, Reavers are just a bedtime story told to scare kids into behavin. Harken aint never dealt with the boogeyman before.

After all, with no Law around to answer to, for some folk anything goes. Commander Harken has a certain way about him. These personality traits, whether theyre related to his background, personality, or career, are called Distinctions. Every Crewmember Serenitys first mate also has the Sea of Calm Distinction will begin the game with three Distinctions and five triggers, or trigger checked beneath Steady d8, which allows her to use special rules that are associated with the characters Distinctions.

Heres an example of is resolved. Unfortunately there isnt a Complication in play how Commander Harkens interrogation of Zoe is influenced that Zoe can narratively take temporary advantage of, so Zoe by their unique traits. For more on Distinction After discovering the condition of the survivor, Commander triggers see Find a Crew on page Harken is trying to figure out whats happening on board Zoe rolls: Serenity.

When he interrogates Zoe, he discusses her marriage 6 4 3 1 to Wash and the fact that she fought with Mal during the The total of Zoes two highest dice is Zoes a mite Unification War.

Zoe can spend a Plot Point to add a third andgiven that shes trying to remain on the level during the die to her total. She adds the third d8 to her total and now interrogationher Calm specialty, which adds a d6 to her dice her total is If n she had more dice in her pool, she could pool.

She has three Distinctions to choose fromFirst Mate continue to add dice to her total as long as she was willing to d8, Steady d8, and Veteran of the Unification War d8.

The latter two Distinctions are certainly appropriate, and she But Zoe also rolled a jinx! The Gamemaster gives Zoe decides to add Steady d8 given her deadpan comebacks to a Plot Point in order to activate the jinx and creates a Wash Harkens questions. The Distinction she chooses affects how Likes to Talk d6 Complication, which might prove useful shell narrate what happens next. She can only choose one when Harken interrogates Zoes husband. Distinction per roll.

Harken tries to raise the stakes by adding his Social d8 After Zoe adds her d8 to her dice pool, she reviews the Attribute and his Influence d10 Skill. Seeing how he fought Steady Distinction triggers checked. The first, which is for the Alliance and Zoe fought for the Independents, this always checked, allows Zoe to gain a Plot Point if she uses a might make it tougher to get her to talk.

So instead of adding d4 in her dice pool instead of a d8. Now, this trigger can only a d8 to his dice pool due to his Veteran of the Unification be used if Zoe decided that being Steady in this situation War Distinction, he adds a d4 and gets a Plot Point for his would hurt her in some way. For example, say Zoe became trouble.

He rolls: as quiet as a derelict vessel floatin through the black. If n she 6 5 2 decides to shut down completely, Harken wouldnt take too Harken adds his two highest dice, gets a total of 11, and kindly to her lack of cooperation and shed have to face the fails to raise the stakes. Even if he spends the Plot Point that consequences for that.

To use that trigger, Zoe would declare he just gained it would only take his total to 13, which merely thats what she wants to do before she rolls her dice. Shed matches Zoes total. Since he has to beat Zoes total to raise earn a Plot Point and have to roll a d4which increases her the stakes, he still wouldnt succeed.

Zoe just calmly stares at Harken across the table. Through a series of interviews, we find out more about each crewmember. For example, we Physical d8. Unfortunately, no matter what the crew says, that dont Craft d6. Though Fight d10d8 Knives he cant confirm that this particular Firefly class shipone Focus d6.

By the time the episode concludes, the crew is freed and Shoot d6. Sure, their valuable Survive d6. Trick d6. When you roll a 1, your luck just got a mite twitchyeven 55 Gain 1 Plot Point when you roll a d4 instead if you raise the stakes. These dice are called jinxes.

When of a d8. Complications are added 55 Rugged: Spend 1 PP to ignore a Complication for a die roll that includes one of your highlighted to the opposing dice pools when fictionally appropriate. Since Complications enhance your story, you have the freedom to shape how you create themthe Knife Fighter d8. Hold Point. Most times, youll give that Complication a name it another way, cuts someones throat for upsetting you. That said, Complications can also be related to a situation that involves the rest of your Crew.

Some Leaky Brainpan d8. To sum up: when you roll a 1? Thats when your lucks bound to changejust like the Serenity crews often did! The Chinese spoken in Bushwacked reflects the - Commander Harken, Bushwacked tense nature of this episode. Heres what they said:. Zhen dao mei! Just our luck! Idealist d8. Others scrape by, we push to make the Verse a better place.

The entirety of this episode takes place in the black on 55 Lead by Example: When you take a Complication three ships: Serenity, a derelict ship, and an Alliance cruiser. These regions of space are Veteran of the Unification War d8. The on your heart n soul. Unfortunately, of a d8. Cronenberg d8. After all, theyll be landing on Persephone in Shindig soon enough.

When youre out in the black, you might need one of these Assets to help you hide from an Alliance patrol boat or patch up a patient. Remember, Assets are items you can create on-the-fly to help you accomplish Actions for the duration of a scene or Episode. Settlers Gear: Protein and crop supplements like Gen- Seed were packed into crates. Gen-Seed, or genetically engineered seed, is manufactured by the Alliance and is resistant to bugs and harsh environmental conditions.

Protein supplements are a valuable commodity for any settler or traveler because these packs dont spoil as fast as other foodstuffs and they can be ground down into a fine powder and added to other foods. Crop supplements include long-lasting fertilizer capsules, enough for a few Simon and River need to hide from the Alliance knockin seasons, and an experimental terraforming compound on Serenitys doorstep.

Mal knows that if the brother and that breaks hard clays down into fertile soil. However, theres one place the Alliance is too stupid to catch unsuspecting travelers who stopped to investigate lookoutside the ship. Without hesitation, Mal orders Simon the settlers ship. Jerry-rigged with a pressure catch, if and River to put on spacesuits and sneak outside. After a little Serenity tried to detach it, the trap would trigger an bit of fuss, they do!

Normally, Assets come into play at a supply once folks fly up and out of the Corea good d6 die rating.

In Mals case, however, he creates a Get Out surgeon is often hard to come by, too. Surgical tools, in Those Spacesuits d10 Asset, because his Influence like Simons knives, forceps, needles, and weaves, are Skill die rating is a d These tools are also found in the Alliance add a d10 to their die pool whenever theyre trying to hide. Though these tools are Heres how that works: similar to what Simon Tam uses to stitch the crew up, As the Alliance soldiers ransack Serenity, Simon sets the medical bay has a lot of monitoring equipment and the stakes.

He adds Physical d6, Sneak d6, and adds his other necessities that he doesnt have access to in his bag. On the Run Distinction as a d8. He rolls: and River don beat-up armored spacesuits and hide 4 3 5 2 outside Serenity. These suits have built in mag boots Simons two highest dice total to only 9.

Simon doesnt that help secure them to the hull. Without so much as feel comfortable with that total so he spends a Plot Point to a tether, theyd be floatin off into the black, lost forever. Their spacesuits have seen plenty of action, but theyre The Alliance soldiers try to raise the stakes.

The Alliance still functional. But for now, their pool consists of Alliance you in your game. Say youre playing Simon, and youre really Soldiers 3d8. They roll: worried about the Alliance cruiser looming on Serenitys 6 6 2 horizon. What to do? The Alliance soldiers two highest dice come to a total of This equals but doesnt beat Simons roll and so they fail to raise the stakes.

The Alliance soldiers dont catch River and Simon hiding outside the ship. This ship holds many rooms, Engines 8 d8. Crew 8 2 d8. Cronenberg Tohuku Class Alliance Cruiser d8. Gamemaster characters, like Commander Harken and 55 Power Projection: When ordering another ship Patience, can neither create nor use Assets already in to stand down and prepare to be boarded, the play.

They can, however, use their own Signature Assets captain may spend 1 PP to step up or double ifn they have one in their possession at the start of the Influence for one action. They can also use location or scene Traits in their dice pools like Alliance Security d8 or Alliance Battle-Scarred d8. For example, Commander Harken has the I. Though shes showing signs of Cronenberg d8 as a Signature Asset.

That means the wear, your boats still here. Guess that means somethin. Gamemaster can add a die representin the Alliance 55 Gain 1 Plot Point when you roll a d4 instead cruiser to his dice pool when appropriate. Now that of a d8. Thing to remember is: Assets help but youve set up your cargo area as a triage center and Crewmembers and certain Complications and location converted your passenger quarters into hospital beds.

Long 55 Gain 1 Plot Point when you roll a d4 instead as you keep that in mind, youll be right as rain. Tractor Beam d8. Or if Harken wouldve Crew a wave, asking you to meet him in the town of Serenity bound the entire crew by Law and managed to report them View on Hera.

Upon your arrival, he asks you to help him to the Central Authority? Here are a few adventures inspired catch an Alliance fugitive last seen in the Core named Rose by this episode. Wilcox, a former Browncoat you once knew. Her passing was hard on The settlers were headed for the Kalidasa System to help you.

Once the War was over, you were going to stand up in the Alliance settle the Rim. Unfortunately, their loss means her weddin to an Alliance grunt. When that kid was hung the government now seeks more willing citizens to grow crops as a spy, Rose threw herself on the frontlines and wound up on Newhall. You and your Crew have managed to convince dyin a hero.

Now Harkens tellin you shes alive? Youre not Commander Harken that youll gladly abandon your life of sure what to think. Whats more, hes so grateful you Will you trust Harken and track down Rose? How will solved two of his problems in one day, hell throw in extra you react when you see her for the first time in ten years?

Thing of it is, you dont know What will you do when you find out Rose has gone rogue anything about farming and half your Crew is beggin you and is tryin to assassinate every high-ranking member of to dump the cargo and sell it for a heap of Alliance credits. Alliance brass she can find? Now that youve made out like a bandit, will you stop bein a smuggler and start actin like a respectable citizen? Heres a shortcut. Use devices to keep tabs on you? When you discover one of your a specific scene from Bushwacked and put yourself in the fellow Crewmembers has collaborated with the enemy, how middle of that action.

Then, ask a What if? For example, say that Commander Harken didnt show up to commandeer Serenity right after Kaylee disabled that booby trap. One of the most important decisions youll make is to Thing of it is, that scow can be mighty valuable, too, if n you figure out how you feel about the Alliance. Not only will got a mechanic who can get her workin right again. If n your Crew is scattered between the black, the risks youll take.

Now, just cause you love the guvmint scow, and your own ship, how will you rescue everybody dont mean your comings and goings will be smooth. When Commander Harken swoops There are plenty of folks wholl go out of their way to in and aids ya, will you think differently of the Alliance? If n backstab, frame, rob, blackmail, and avoid you. Heck, he does, will you turn over any Crewmembers whove run another official might even accuse you of bein a snitch afoul of the Law?

Fight Systems 8 d8. Focus Aiming Crew 4 d8. These short-range cargo haulers have limited life support Notice d6.

Thats why youre constantly in trouble! When Shindig begins, we find Mal, Jayne, and Inara in pool. For more information on difficulty dice and Trait dice, another tavern located on Santo in the White Sun System.

Workers are in such high d8 Complication and rolls: demand on watery worlds like Newhope and Aesir that some opportunists will take advantage of folks just to make a quick Add the two highest dice. The Gamemaster gets a total of Not only does the captain throw a mean left hook, he Wash tries to raise the stakes and adds Serenitys Engines picks the slavers pocket, too.

The pilot also gets As soon as the crew gets back on board, they continue to add a d6 since Serenity is a transport, which matches their route to Persephone where they can buy much-needed his Transports specialty. Next, Wash uses his Ships Pilot supplies and make repairs. At first glance, it seems everybody Distinction to add a d8, and uses Serenitys Firefly Class is happy to be heading back to Eavesdown Docks.

Inara has Transport Distinction to add another d8. Finally, since her pick of clients, Wash and Zoe can take a little vacation, Serenity is one of Washs Signature Assets, he also gets to add and Mal can spend the credits he stole to get what he needs a d6 to his dice pool. He rolls: Only trouble is, Wash is havin a little trouble handling 2 8 7 3 5 4 Serenity and needs to adjust in order to make a safe landing.

The sum of the two highest dice is 15, and Wash has no Do you know how to fly your ship? Will you ease her down problem in raising the stakes and lands Serenity safely on the nicely or crash land on the Eavesdown Docks? The crew makes to use atmo to slow down. Instead, pilots leverage gravity and quite a few visits to Persephone on account of its proximity their ships engines to gently descend. That said, distracted to the Border Planets.

In fact, some folk believe this world pilots may wind up comin in too fast if theyre admiring the isnt really part of the Core. Sure its got nobles, uses the same view. Like Wash, theyd have to do some fancy flyin to land currency, and has sprawling cities and the like, but Persephone all nice and smooth-like.

Course, with as much as Complication at your table. During that scene on Santo, say folks come and go here, any type of money or gold is good the GM took advantage of a jinx Mal rolled and created a here just as long as its legal. Were Comin in Too Fast d8 Complication. Combined, these details reflect that the Eavesdown Heres how Wash makes a difficult landing on Persephone. Docks have only a hint of the Cores true wealth. For savvy Member, Were Comin In Too Fast d8 makes his job a business folk, its also the perfect place to seek out all kinds lot harder!

The Gamemaster sets the stakes. Despite the fact that Serenity is comin up on Persephone a mite quick, landing the ship is generally an easy task.

Mal and Jayne find themselves alone in the middle of the street, but not for long! While the rest of the. Once there, Badger offers him a job that could prove to be mighty profitable.

Only trouble is, Malll have to convince the client to hire him. Thrown for Persephones finest, socialites mingle in specially tailored suits and dresses while a live band plays instrumental music.

Fresh mangoes, strawberries, grapes and other fruits rarely found outside of the Core line the buffet table. Servers offer shimmerwine and attendants look on as the guests dance in a square. In this scene, we begin to see Athertons true colors and how his treatment of Inara leads to Mals shaky alliance with Sir Harrow. Murphy, who comes to Kaylees rescue, dandy who spends his credits on Companions, socializing keeps her occupied for the evening and introduces her at the club, and flaunting his riches.

Banning feels deep down that Inara Serra is a prize to be won. Thats Miller is another. Minor GMCs still have personality and a few Traits, why this charming, little aristocrat is a perfect gentleman to but no Distinctions.

Their rules are dependent upon the everyone he encountersprovided he gets his way. When he role you want them to play in your Episode. For example, doesnt, thats when Athertons true nature is revealed, and it say Miller was an Alliance informant sent to the ball to aint none too pretty. This lord is a bit of a puzzle.

Skeptical to a fault, Sir Warwick As a young socialite, Banning Miller could be described Harrow has a clear picture of right and wrong according to as a Pretty d8, Vain d8, Socialite d If you decide his perception of societys rules.

Hes forthcoming about what Banning is an Alliance informant, but are still treating those rules are and will often explain the reasoning behind the her as a Minor GMC, she could be a Pretty d8, Socialite decisions he makes. Though he wanders in and out of polite d10, Alliance Mole d6. A rancher in Keep Flyin. After Mal punches Atherton Wing, the captain discovers that hell need to face him in a duel.

Now, Mal aint skilled with a sword and Inara knows it, too. Thats why she decides to sneak over to his room to help him out. Thing of it is, there aint just one way to resolve a situation with your dice. Mal can then use that Asset when hes fighting his duel the next day on the banks of Kaytree Pond. If theres a Complication like Mal Challenged to a Sword Duel d10 on the table, Inara can also help Mal by attempting a recovery roll to step back or even eliminate that Complication. By making Mal Challenged to a Sword Duel d10 Stepping Up and Stepping Back are terms that reflect what happens when a die rating is either increased or disappear, Inara increases Mals chances of winning since the decreased by one.

Sometimes the die ratings for the Assets, GM has one less d10 to roll. Complications, or dice in your pool will go up or down. Heres how Inara would make a recovery roll: Certain Distinction triggers can impact die ratings, but The Gamemaster sets the stakes by creating a dice most of the time regular ole Assets and Complications pool consisting of the Mal Challenged to a Sword will be affected by how freely Plot Points are spent.

Duel d10 Complication and a difficulty die. Since Mals Heres an example of how these terms apply to Complications: acting all stubborn that die rating is set to Challenging If you roll more than one jinx, the Gamemaster may d8. Because there arent any other traits that come into step up the new Complication by one die rating for each play, the GM rolls just those two dice.

The Gamemaster also has the option to step up a Inara tries to raise the stakes by adding Mental Complication that already exists, but if a Complication gets stepped up above d12, you could get Taken Out! Youll get one Plot Point Distinction to her dice pool. She rolls: per Complication the GM creates or steps up. Since she called an Opportunity. Players may choose to activate successfully raised the stakes, Inara eliminates the Mal an Opportunity by spending a Plot Point.

Then you get to Challenged to a Sword Duel d10 Complication. She step back an already existing Complication by reducing the die rating by one. If you step back a Complication that hasnt gotten him completely out of the duel, but shes is currently a d6, it goes away! If the Gamemaster rolls removed the advantage Atherton created when he caught multiple Opportunities, you can step back a Complication an Mal off guard at the party with his challenge.

So if the Gamemaster Just because a Crewmember recovers a Complication rolls three Opportunities, you could step back a Gun dont mean that thingsll go smooth. This still recovers from the Complication, he still screws up only costs you one Plot Point.

For more on recovery rolls see page in Find a Job. Theres a lot riding on the duels outcome, what with Badger settlin into Serenity with his thugs and Sir Harrow waiting to see if Malll survive. For simplicitys sake, neither Mal nor Atherton has any Plot Points at the start of the duel. While Mal goes for Atherton lets the captain cut his shirt. Now Mal thinks the win, Atherton toys with the captain and pretends Mals he has the upper hand and attacks Atherton again.

This time doin better than he really is. The Gamemaster declares that Atherton is goin for blood. Atherton roll for both Mal and Atherton, meaning that the winner could will only create a Complication if he succeeds, since hes not Take Out his opponent. Mal sets the stakes, again adding tryin to injure Mal yet.

He rolls: hes dancin to Athertons tune this round. So the captain sets 5 1 3 the stakes. First, Mal adds his Physical d8 Attribute and Mals two highest dice total to 8 and he rolls a jinx as Fight d8 Skill to his pool. Next, hell add his Things Dont well. He adds Physical his trouble. He rolls: The captains two highest dice total 12, but Mal also rolled 8 7 6 2 2 a jinx.

Overconfident, Mal charges Atherton Atherton tries to beat Mals roll by adding Physical d8, and gets a sword in the gut. The only sheets I know of are in the PDF itself.
