OLD SCHOOL ROLE PLAYING
What is Old School Role Playing about?
At Old School we are all about the classic version of role playing games that were popular in the late
1970s to the early 1980s. You know the games. You played them as kids. They were far better than many
of the later versions that came along. At Old School we bring you high quality adventures and adventure
products for gaming at a reasonable price.
The adventures themselves are well thought out. They have a few puzzles, riddles and other encounters
as well as plenty of monster bashing action. Some have been thoroughly play tested by other gamers. The
goal is to provide you the game master adventures to use on the spur of the moment when players want to
play and you do not have the time to prepare something spectacular.

Every ten years an event is held in the Sonora Sector which brings visitors from across the
galaxy. The Zero Gravity Olympics is a sporting event like no other. All of the events are held in
the vacuum of space. It takes incredible athletes to compete in these sporting events. Many of the
worlds in this sector provide athletes to the Olympics.
The events are broadcast across the sector. Video replay is sent to worlds outside of the sector.
Political entities send their best young athletes and expect them to bring home medals. The medal
counts are carefully monitored by the citizens of these worlds.
But everything is not as peaceful as it might seem. Sabotage of other teams is known to occur
from time to time. The events themselves are dangerous. Doing anything in the vacuum of space
comes with severe risks. Deaths frequently occur.
Certain political factions sometimes try to interfere in these events. Terrorists have been known
to threaten attacks during the Olympics. So far this has never materialized. Activists often stage
protests. Occasionally warring planets have athletes that meet during the contest and violence
sometimes occurs.
A large space station orbits the planet Eshosan. This is the location of this year’s Zero Gravity
Olympics. Visitors from across the sector, and beyond, have begun flocking to the station. The
games are set to begin in a week.
Daniel Yang is a minor official from the government of Inzaxaia. Inzaxaia is one of the planets
owned, and ruled by, the Jorum family. This wealthy family has industrial interests on it’s
worlds. The worlds owned by the family are heavily polluted. The resources on these planets are
nearly depleted. Rumors of slave labor on the Jorum family worlds are unconfirmed. Daniel
approaches the travelers while in star port at the end of their last mission. He has a proposition.
The Jorum family intends to send athletes to the Zero Gravity Olympics for the games which are
about to start in a week. The family has come into possession of intelligence that suggests
terrorists intend to make attacks during the games to make a political statement about the
business practices of the Jorum family. Daniel offers CR 200000 for a week of work protecting
the Jorum athletes from terrorism.
He suggests that the travelers themselves disguise themselves as Jorum family athletes so that
they will have a legitimate reason to be present at the games. The gaming authority does not
allow armed guards to be present at the station but Daniel assures the travelers that he can get
their weapons and armor smuggled into the station before the games begin.
He has made arrangements with the Olympics committee to allow a team of independent security
personnel to board the station and protect the athletes, and spectators, from acts of violence. The
team can bring their own weapons aboard the station. The only stipulation is that any armor worn
must be worn under clothing and be virtually unseen. The authorities do not wish to cause the
spectators any concern.
