YOU GOT A JOB ON THE GARBAGE BARGE
You have crippling debt and the loan-shark wizards are hot on your trail. You need a job badly. Luckily for you, there's a place that's always hiring: an impossibly gigantic floating island of trash filled with scheming raccoons, interdimensional fish, talking bugs, and more. Time to get to work!

Tickets
This event is past the point where ticket sales are permitted.The Garbage Barge has been slogging up and down the coast for years, putting into port and accepting unwanted things in exchange for gas to keep the tugboats running. It is a towering, leaking wreck, and it’s your home. You are a wizard or a pirate radio operator or a raccoon or a barge worker, or maybe you raise goats in the listing high rise that’s been dumped on the stern. Things grow in the trash. Chemicals are leaching out of rusted barrels, growing legs, and setting off to seek their fortune. Beetles tell you their life stories, raccoons steal your pens. Something in a diving suit disappears into oil-slick bilge water in search of baroque pearls. A forest of rebar sings in the salt wind. Out past the gas lake, there’s a town on fire. It’s been like that as long as anyone can remember. They say that no matter how far into the trash you go, it keeps going.
Most towns will pay just to get the barge to leave. Disposing of objects and people that are too dangerous, embarrassing, or on fire is a bonus. The barge is always hiring, and it’s a great way to get out of town quick. It’s not a great way to make money, but you might find something you never realized you were missing.
In this sandbox adventure, you need cash badly. Will you hunt for rare garbage to pawn, get odd jobs with the strange (and often friendly) denizens of the trash, or discover some the myriad secrets the smelly, creaking, filthy barge holds? Assemble your crew and dig yourself out of debt before the loan-sharks you scammed come pay you a little visit (and forcibly repo all your possessions and/or vital organs).
YOU GOT A JOB ON THE GARBAGE BARGE will be played with the Troika! RPG system, a rules-light d6 based system. Learn more about the game at troikarpg.com or here's a direct link to the SRD (but consider buying the book/PDF because it's awesome and the art is worth it!) Troika SRD
