Freeland's Tenant

A sandbox for players to come up with ideas and a newbie GM to learn GURPS and hopefully give his players an entertaining experience.

I've decided that for now, we are going to operate on the basis that a large technological renaissance is happening, right now.

New tech has emerged using specialized gems that have been found in specific locations that can store vast amounts of electrical power.

These have been mined and are being put to use in many different ways, with new uses being found almost daily.

A gem the size of your fist, for instance, would be large enough to power all the lights in a small town for a week without recharging. This of course means they are beyond priceless, and are presently the premier goal of fortune hunters and large companies.

The Explorer's Guild was created to map uncharted lands and report back with findings of where the next lode of these gems may be found. This has acted very much like the California Gold Rush, only on crack.

The frontier towns are full of Explorers, merchants, bandits and every other type of person looking to cash in on the next big find. Lawlessness ranks supreme in these areas and it is highly recommended that fledgling Explorers not tempt these climes without experience in more civilized regions first.

This is not the only danger however. Large, dangerous creatures, natives and the environment itself will seriously test the meddle of anyone pursuing the gems.

Be prepared, but also remember that one big find could bring fortune and glory to the ones strong enough to risk it.
