Space 1889: Murder on the Ether Express
Everything Jules Verne could have written. Everything H. G. Wells should have written. Everything Arthur Conan Doyle thought of¸ but never published - because it was too fantastic. The RMS Aetheria is a marvel of modern etheric engineering capable of incredible interplanetary speeds and¸ if the owners are to be believed¸ the fastest civilian ship in the solar system. Of course¸ this brash claim requires proof and the adventurers have been lucky enough to secure passage on the ship's shakedown cruise¸ during which the vessel and her crew will be put through their paces. They are not alone¸ however. The wealthy aristocrat Montague Harrington-Hyde has commandeered the ship for one of his famous business parties where¸ if rumor is to be believed¸ fortunes are made and lost. This isn't the only thing they need to worry about¸ as the competition eyes the Aetheria with jealousy¸ and the Tossian government sent one of their ambassadors along for the ride. Can they navigate the world of the aristocracy and rub shoulders with the elite without causing a stir or making the front page of The Times? With sabotage¸ political skullduggery¸ and maybe a murder or two in the cards¸ can they even survive this ship of secrets? Murder on the Ether Express is an adventure for a veteran Gamemaster and players who are interested in an adventure based on investigation and social interaction. This adventure was written for the Savage Worlds version of Space:1889.
