Lear jets, neo-Nazis and repo men.. oh my!
While scanning the Salon RSS feed I came across an article called the Lear jet Repo man. It told the tale of a guy who has a highly successful business repossessing very expensive planes and getting paid into the 6 figures for it.
As I was reading the article the stories that were there were sounding like an awesome game. A team of highly skilled people with dubious morals are hired to break into a highly armed compound or airport to essentially steal back an aeroplane. Sound like fun to you? Here is an excerpt:
It was snowing hard when the bank called Nick Popovich. They needed to grab a Gulfstream in South Carolina now. Not tomorrow. Tonight.
All commercial and private planes were grounded, but Nick Popovich wasn’t one to turn down a job. So he waited for the storm to clear long enough to charter a Hawker jet from Chicago into South Carolina. There was just one detail: No one had told Popovich about the heavily armed white supremacist militia that would be guarding the aircraft when he arrived.
So I think I’m going to pull together a Savage Worlds scenario for just this set up. There will be:
- A team of 4 or 5 specialists
- A location or two
- A whole bunch of pissed off people with guns
- and three hours of fun!
I do love getting ideas for games from real life.
