HOT NIGHT IN REAgNSTOWN.
Tired of using the old rules for down time in Necromunda? Looking for a little fun to add that something extra to your Necromunda campaign? Well here is something that you may find of interest. My name is Mike and over the past few months I have been the arbiter of a new Necromunda campaign, but rather than stick to the usual setting of Necromunda I opted to set my campaign on Hades ( hit Necromunda then turn left and you cant miss it.) another hive world. The campaign itself is something slightly different to the normal affair as not only do the players have to worry about each others gangs, they also have the threat of an Ork invasion bearing down on them. We will be bringing you more in depth details of the campaign very soon, but for now here is something that we often use during our downtime when the gangs have finished the session and are working out their exp. I hope that you find it as fun to use as we do. Any comments are greatly welcomed.

HOT NIGHT IN REAgNSTOWN.
After a long day there is nothing in Hades like visiting Madame Wins drinking hole. The drinking is good, but some times the company leaves much to be desired. On any long hot night, like this even the most placid of temperament’s can be pushed to the limit. So you're Gangers and Leader (sorry no Juves here, age limits apply you see sir) can enjoy Madam Wins till the early hours of the morning.
Terrain.
Using floorplans you can represent the layout of the bar. Along with the tables, front and side doors; dancing area and the stairs that lead up to the floozy house above. Outside of the bar is a busy road with a small paved area. This can be used later on also. If you have a copy of White Dwarf 223 then the floor plans for the Brew House Brawl will really come in handy here. But a quick floorplan can be drawn up using paper or card and coloured pencils.
Set up.
A gang visiting Madame Wins will set up after all the mandatory denizens of the bar. These are.
As the bar begins to fill up, players can either stay at the bar or sit at one of the many tables. Choose a table for each player and consult the charts below. Each fighter may only try for one table per end phase,
Slide on up to the bar friend.
Order a drink and sit a spell. Life moves pretty fast around here pal. Sometimes you just got to sit a spell and watch it from afar.

Walking back to the hide out you notice a coin on the floor and as you bend over to pick it up you slip into a crack and fall through into the Underhive. You fight against Giant Rats, fend of Zombies, run from Spyers, dodge an Arbiter purge, and somehow manage to get home in one piece. Your fighter gains 6xp but of course no one believes you. |
Of course this is only the beginning. You can always expand the tables to take other things into account and how about the thought of having a bar room brawl using the rules from White Dwarf 223 or perhaps making some up your self. If you have anything that you think will improve the tables please mail me at the usual address.
