Incident at Redview is an sandbox styled adventure written for 1st Edition of Dark Conspiracy. Designed as a introduction for both new players and new Minion Hunters placing the characters in the midst of an outbreak of an apocalyptic scale.
‘Somethings wrong in Redview, I can feel it in my bones… you know what I mean?”
For the residents of Madison, however, stuck way out in the middle of the Outlaw, with no prospects and no opportunities, the chemical plant at Redview is their last, best shot at making something of themselves. They work there, as scientists, security guards, just about anything really, to make ends meet…
But did anyone ever stop and ask just what Chema is up to in this out of the way, lost to everyone, sort of place? No? Well our Minion Hunters are about to find out. Armed only with their courage and what few resources they can scrounge up, can they survive ‘The Incident at Redview’?
is a 16-page adventure published in 1992 by Game Designers’ Workshop for Dark Conspiracy. The first of the folio-style adventures produced by GDW, it hailed a dynamically different but ultimately short-lived approach to the company’s publishing methodology in the early 90s (with this format also used for two other Dark Conspiracy products – Nightsider and the PC Booster Kit – as well as at least one adventure for the MERC: 2000 game line). Generally well received at the time of publication, Ice Daemon continues to be a worthy addition to the line, especially as an introduction to players entering the world of Dark Conspiracy for the first time!
