Municipal Drones of the Failing City

A failing city does not stop working. It keeps moving through dead contracts, thinning budgets, emergency doctrine nobody rescinded, and machines still obedient to civic promises their owners have long since betrayed.

Municipal Drones of the Failing City is a system-neutral science-fiction toolkit for referees who want urban machinery to feel embedded, political, useful, and dangerous. These are not generic flying gadgets placed in a scene because the future needs rotors. They are sanitation units, ration couriers, facade crawlers, flood-channel surveyors, medevac lifters, school-route monitors, disaster relays, and emergency-order broadcasters: the small moving parts of a city where care and control have become difficult to separate.

Each drone has a public face. It repairs, samples, guides, cleans, lifts, warns, surveys, or protects.

Each drone also has a hidden directive.

A ration courier may be diverting high-value shelter stock into contractor caches. A facade crawler may be marking structurally sound flats for repossession while declaring them unsafe. A quiet-hours monitor may be recording grief, argument, music, and political speech under the legal cover of noise abatement. A flood surveyor may be counting bodies before families or journalists can reach them.

The result is playable infrastructure: machines that carry evidence, keys, maps, medicine, samples, blackmail, route logic, emergency authority, and the quiet proof that a district was abandoned on purpose.

Inside you will find six d66 tables:

-Public Function: what the city claims the drone is for.
-Hidden Directive: what the drone is really doing.
-Sensor Suite and Payload: what it can see, carry, spray, cut, lift, unlock, or record.
-Movement Pattern and Territory: where it belongs, how it moves, and what its route reveals.
-Failure Behaviour: what happens when the machine is damaged, obstructed, isolated, or forced beyond its doctrine.
-Why Engage?: the practical reason player characters might follow, rob, protect, dissect, expose, or reprogram it.

Roll once on each table and you have more than an encounter. You have a working fragment of a larger machine-city: a civic service device, a covert policy instrument, a salvage opportunity, a witness, a threat, and a district-scale problem already moving through the streets.

This supplement is suited to hard science-fiction, post-state urbanity, salvage campaigns, failing arcologies, contested concession cities, flood-prone coastal settlements, orbital habitats with exhausted maintenance budgets, and any setting where public systems continue in partial, unequal, and automated form.

A municipal drone is never only a drone.

It is policy with rotors.

It is neglect with a maintenance schedule.

It is the city, still moving, long after anyone decent has stopped pretending it is well.

Roll once for a primary antagonist, roll twice and combine results for layered villains, or use the table as inspiration when creating cult leaders, warlords, tyrants, dark nobles, corrupt clergy, and supernatural threats in grimdark campaigns.

The Coup d'Etat,

fourth chapter of the chronicles of the Seven

In this fourth chapter of the Chronicles of the Seven for Symbaroum, the characters investigate a rumored plot to overthrow the government in New Berendoria. What began as a mere suspicion quickly escalates into a matter of state involving an influential count, army officers, religious dignitaries, and other conspirators willing to do anything to seize the duchy.

Forced to act with extreme discretion, the PCs must monitor their targets, gather evidence, infiltrate sensitive locations, and thwart numerous schemes before a coup plunges the region into chaos. Between surveillance, espionage, political manipulation, and secret societies, they navigate an environment where the slightest mistake can lead to accusations of treason.

This scenario marks a turning point in the campaign, revealing more of the Seven's ambitions and transforming the characters from adventurers into key players in major political intrigues.

With a little effort, it can be played as a standalone adventure.

The air of La Fayette wafts with a stench of desperation. The people of the slums show this desperation in their struggle to feed their family, in their overworked, overtired postures, and in their rising anger over their treatment. The nobles hide their desperation far better, but a closer look will find it in their opulence–hiding their desperate need to be important, to be wealthy, or to be powerful despite the city’s overall decline.

Welcome to Echoes on Mars, the an open-world campaign and setting for Starset RPG 2nd Edition.

Starset: Echoes on Mars is the first complete campaign for the Starset tabletop RPG system. This 112-page book brings the Martian domed city of La Fayette to life, filled with vicious subfactions, political leaders, and subterranean intrigue.

Whoever survives the battle could control the fate of New Detroit.

A dark fey fantasy adventure of corrupted beauty, ancient guardians, and a fallen goddess reshaping the Feywilds into her own design.

Once known as the Lady of Blossoms, Vaelithra was a divine force of renewal, transformation, and natural beauty. Now she has become something far more terrible: a sovereign of corruption whose dark Seeds poison the land, twist living creatures, and drain magical power into the heart of the Evergarden.

Drawn from the Material Plane, the adventurers enter a wounded fey realm where forests remember, rivers whisper, ancient courts still hold power, and every road leads closer to ruin. To stop Vaelithra, they must seek the wisdom of Elarion, earn the trust of strange fey peoples, cross haunted waters, uncover the truth behind her fall, destroy her Seeds, and finally enter the Vaerian Citadel to confront the source of her power: the Seed of Ruin.

Inside this book, you will find a complete dark fantasy fey adventure built around exploration, mystery, corruption, and high-stakes mythic conflict. The journey takes the party across distinct regions such as Luneran, Cindervel, High Valdran, the Sea of Memory, the Black Marshes, and the corrupted Evergarden, each designed with its own tone, dangers, lore, and narrative purpose.
