Communist wizards from the future and spirit constables travel to the commune on a ghost train. Maybe your heroes will call the commune home¸ defend it from the U.S. Cavalry and establish a communist stronghold in the American southwest. Maybe they'll find adventure as visitors just passing by.

Whatever side you're on¸ the future of the commune is in your hands.
