One Shot for 11/28/21: The Great Mississippi Star Heist
Posted: Sun Nov 21, 2021 7:33 pm
I am running a one shot adventure set near Baton Rouge for Savage Rifts. The venue will be Roll20. No experience with Savage Rifts or Savage Worlds is necessary, though it is advised. 5/6 Spots claimed.

The Hook
You’ve been approached by a member of the Torres Family (the largest smuggling operation in all of Arkansas and the biggest Black Market employer in El Dorado) operating in Greenville or Baton Rouge for a sophisticated Heist in order to steal a major diamond from a high roller. They have the core bits of the heist set up, but they need a couple of drivers, some muscle, and someone good enough to talk their way into and possibly out of the parking garage of the Mississippi Star. The timing has to be perfect. You can’t be seen going in before 7pm on the date of the transfer, but have to be in place by no later than 7:15 pm. There is a security check of the cars at 7PM, so being seen in the parking area at that time will be problematic. There are two cars already parked and both will be needed. There are two operatives coming out with identical satchels. Get them both to the rendezvous points and then go to ground.
The Mississippi Star Casino and Brothel
Up the river about ten miles north of Naval Station Baton Rouge and it's civilian city, a collection of ramshackle buildings have grown up around the only authorized building and its large dock, a casino called the Mississippi Star. The buildings are shops and houses which serve the staff and customers of the casino and brothel, serving everything from food to drugs to weapons and ammo, though all of it within I.S.S. regulations, despite them being out of town by a good bit. The reason is simple, this is where the troops love to come to blow off steam in ways that are technically illegal in town. Got a d-bee fetish? There’s a girl that will have you. Want some psi-cola? A hostess can provide for the right price! Want to gamble way above the limit? Provided you show the funds to back it, they will let you have the game. The I.S.S. keeps trying to get agents in, but they keep being found out and ejected, but never killed unless they overstep. Run by an El Occulto Madame that traveled to Baton Rouge from Pinnacle, the casino/brothel is relatively new, and operates as an open secret. While the things it offers are technically illegal, it also turns over the worst of its offenders to the I.S.S. as well as its rivals. In placating the I.S.S. by being both a boon and a bane, they ride the line that allows them to continue operating. They get a lot of civilian trader traffic, including many pirates. Often no limit games are convoluted ways of parties paying for one thing or another. Entire ships or their cargos have changed hands over games of poker or blackjack.
