Fallen Sparks
$0.00
Fallen Sparks is an adventure for The End of Innocence RPG. It focuses on the player characters (called “the kids” in this text) encountering alien robots trying to repair their probe-ship and avoid capture by human governments. Their mission is peaceful, but misfortune has created a situation that will require the intervention of the kids they meet to make sure everything turns out well. The feel of the adventure is intended to mirror adventurous 80s blockbuster children’s films but could be played with a more sinister tone by the addition of elements that will be discussed in an addendum. The adventure assumes no supernatural elements by default, but this can be adjusted as required to fit the gamemaster and player’s desires.

### A Thrilling Blast from the Past: Fallen Sparks Review 🌟
**Fallen Sparks** is an absolute gem of an adventure for The End of Innocence RPG from The Red Room. This adventure takes you on an exhilarating ride back to the enchanting 80s, with all the nostalgia of blockbuster children’s films of that era.
**Plot and Theme**: The narrative focuses on “the kids,” the player characters, as they encounter alien robots with a peaceful mission. However, these robots need the help of the kids to repair their probe-ship and avoid capture by human governments. This setup creates an engaging and compelling storyline that seamlessly blends sci-fi elements with an adventurous spirit.
**Gameplay and Flexibility**: One of the standout features of Fallen Sparks is its flexibility. While the default setting excludes supernatural elements, the adventure can be easily tailored by the gamemaster to include them if desired. Additionally, the tone can be adjusted from lighthearted to more sinister, providing a customizable experience that suits various gaming groups.
**Resource Management**: The adventure introduces a unique element of resource management. The alien robots, referred to as “Engineer,” require various materials for repairs. The kids must gather these resources from the town, creating a dynamic and interactive to-do list. How the kids obtain these materials—whether through trading, scavenging, or even doing odd jobs—adds an extra layer of strategy and moral decision-making to the game. This aspect not only enhances gameplay but also deepens the role-playing experience.
**The Town’s Residents**: Fallen Sparks also pays attention to the townsfolk, making them an integral part of the adventure. Notable NPCs include:
– **Mable Travis**: An elderly lady with an impressive yard gnome collection. She is sweet and kind but protective of her collection and will call the Deputy at the first sign of tampering or mischief.
– **Frank Tolliver**: The grumpy junkyard owner. He offers odd jobs in exchange for scrap but is wary of the kids’ intentions.
– **Deputy Charlie Garrett**: An earnest yet inept law enforcement professional, quick to escalate situations but determined to prove himself while the sheriff is out of town. His presence adds another layer of complexity to the adventure, as he inadvertently complicates the kids’ mission while trying to maintain order.
– **Derick Johnston**: The laid-back owner of the local Radio Rack store and an avid Ham radio enthusiast. His shop is a treasure trove of useful items for Engineer, and he might be won over by the kids’ enthusiasm for amateur radio.
– **Anna Rubin**: The owner of the local Plant Warehouse. Her shop contains items that might be useful for Engineer, and she has a guard dog named Nibbles who adds an interesting challenge for the kids.
These characters add depth and richness to the game, providing memorable interactions and challenges for the players.
**Nostalgia and Atmosphere**: The adventure brilliantly captures the essence of 80s films, providing a nostalgic atmosphere that will resonate with fans of that era. The sense of wonder, excitement, and camaraderie among the kids is palpable, making each session feel like a cinematic experience.
**Conclusion**: In summary, **Fallen Sparks** is a must-play adventure for fans of The End of Innocence RPG.
