It was not a quiet night: a sudden storm blew across the farmlands, bringing thunder and lightning. An old man and his wife looked out at the storm as it turned to hail. They discussed going to the cellar, deciding to do so only if the weather became more extreme.
They did not listen to the radio, so they didn’t hear the news. They didn’t try to call anyone, so they didn’t know their phone lines had been cut. They did not know there had been a jailbreak. They did not know a guard had been taken hostage by four convicts, convicts who had then seized a van on the highway…
Jailbreak is a renowned scenario for the Unknown Armies roleplaying game designed for play in a single session. It is a scenario low on combat but high on player vs. player tension, with a mix of characters with conflicting needs thrown into a volatile situation with perhaps a hint of the supernatural.
No prior experience with Unknown Armies or roleplaying is required for play.
