Boulder City, Nevada. Un colis arrive. Dedans une cassette audio et un mot…
“Le bruit se souvient”. Qu'est-il arrivé à James ? Pourquoi cet enfant disparu il y a 10 ans refait surface maintenant ? Qu'y a-t-il derrière le statique de la cassette ?

The Five Points has always been judged by those above it, condemned as a district of drunks, cutthroats, and beggars too wild to govern themselves, yet beneath the soot and shouting something new begins to take shape, quiet at first, almost respectable in appearance, as a thieves guild emerges not through brute force but through order, discipline, and strange ambition, gathering pickpockets, burglars, confidence tricksters, and smugglers beneath a shared structure that values refinement over chaos, insisting upon rules, standards, and conduct where once there had only been desperation, and in doing so the guild unsettles the city far more than open violence ever could, for its members move through the streets with tailored confidence, speaking carefully, dressing sharply, and conducting theft not as reckless crime but as organized enterprise, while offering protection, coin, and opportunity to those the city ignores, and soon even ordinary folk begin to question whether these criminals behave with more fairness than the officials and businessmen who condemn them, and as the guild’s influence spreads through taverns, markets, and shadowed counting houses, so too does resistance from those who fear what such a transformation might mean, for the old gangs resent the challenge to tradition, the authorities despise the guild’s growing popularity, and the wealthy grow nervous at the sight of thieves behaving like gentlemen, and you stand within this shifting order, where crime itself is being reshaped into something disturbingly civilized.

In this Solo Adventure, you assume the role of a gangster in New York’s Five Points and surrounding neighborhoods in the mid-1800s. You will require:

The story begins with a brief introduction to the situation, a few key locations, and a handful of story hooks. From there, the game is driven by your imagination, choices, and dice rolls.

As you play:

You will record events, outcomes, and consequences

Urban warfare changes the psychology of conflict because cities are systems built to support continuity, not destruction, and when those systems begin to fail under sustained pressure the collapse spreads through civilian structure, infrastructure, and morale simultaneously, which means every engagement affects more than the immediate tactical situation; these habitats were designed as controlled utopias, self-contained environments where efficiency, stability, and social equilibrium were engineered into the architecture itself, and for a long time that model worked well enough that most residents stopped thinking about defense entirely. The problem with societies optimized for peace is that they tend to interpret early aggression as temporary disruption rather than strategic intent, and by the time they recognize the difference, the systems meant to maintain order are already overloaded. The first exchanges between the habitats were economic, sanctions disguised as policy disputes, transit restrictions framed as temporary security measures, but once infrastructure became a weapon the transition to open conflict was inevitable, because enclosed populations react badly when access to essentials becomes conditional. Now the transit arteries that once carried trade and civilians function as fortified kill zones, residential towers serve as sniper positions, and maintenance corridors designed for repair crews have become routes for infiltration teams and assassins. I’ve operated in conventional warzones before, but this is different because neither side sees itself as the aggressor, both are fighting to preserve the last version of society they still recognize as legitimate, and that makes compromise almost impossible. The habitats continue functioning despite the damage, lights still active in sections already abandoned, public broadcasts repeating outdated assurances of stability while artillery impacts shake entire districts, which creates the unsettling impression that the cities themselves haven’t accepted the reality of the war consuming them. Our assignment is straightforward on paper, secure strategic sectors, eliminate hostile assets, and maintain operational pressure until one side loses the capacity to resist, but operations inside dense urban systems never stay straightforward for long, because the closer the fighting gets to the population centres and infrastructure cores, the harder it becomes to distinguish between defending the habitat and destroying the very thing the war is supposedly being fought to protect.

In this Solo Adventure you assume the role of an adventurer in the shadow-stained expanse of the Known Galaxy. You will require the Haven Fallen Core Rulebook (CRB) and any associated Expansions you wish to use. The world responds to you—your interpretations, your fears, your ambitions—and you will act as both Character and Storyteller. The Actions you take should depend on who and what you meet, what horrors cross your path, and how you choose to engage with them.  Record the outcomes. Evolve the world. Allow rumours, consequences, and scars to reappear later. As you progress, you will become your own Storyteller, shaping a living cosmos that remembers what you do. The outcome of Actions in Haven Fallen is determined by:

ROLL THE BONES - STL divination bones setl

Eight relics. Three drawn. The future revealed in fracture, omen, and sign.

Each bone has its own distinct silhouette and engraved symbols, matching the established geometry from the collection:

• Gravebone = chunky relic cube

• Crowbone = multi-pointed crown/star form

• Crossbone = cross/intersection form

• Lifebone = tapered long bone

• Fatebone = tri-form branching relic

• Waystone = smooth path-marker shape

• Witchbone = asymmetrical ritual bone

• Emberbone = dark charred volcanic bone

“The bones are not random. Each carries memory, omen, and intention. Draw three. Cast them together. Read how they touch, divide, cross, or stand apart. The future lives in the pattern.”

“THE BONES SPEAK IN RELATION. “ROLL WHAT REMAINS.”

DIRECTIONS:

3D print at 28-32mm size for each bone. Paint and copy the suggested symbols onto the bones or use your own.

Draw out 3 from a bag, blindly, and toss them on the table. Create a meaning based on the symbols or your own intuitions.
