    Hey there! I've been remaking some older scenarios for ITS13-compatibility to spice casual nights up a bit. Better to do a little work in prep than to run into a wall during play!

    I'll be updating the thread with more as I make them - if people find this useful, that is.

    I've set up commenting on so if you have any thoughts or critique for any of the missions, feel free to comment on the different Google Docs.

    FORMATTING
    I've tried to keep as close as possible to ITS13 formatting. Google Docs is sufficient (even if hopping into Illustrator or something would look nicer!) for these purposes. The closest font I could find to the body text was Alegreya Sans. The heading text seems to be Sarpanch. I've chosen to add the occasional flavor text using Alegreya Serif. Skills descriptions usually had text-boxes, but those are a bit annoying to work on in Docs so I just gave them highlighted text and used the font Share to approximate it.

    Here's a link to a template. Just make a copy in Google Docs or download it to edit it at home. Remember to throw it into two columns when you're done!

    RULES
    ITS13 has a few changes I noticed from prior seasons. The most notable change was the WIP roll to perform certain tasks - button-pushing, as it were. Getting a +3 MOD as well as two rolls makes it almost trivially easy but still leaves some risk. In all of these missions I've tried to replicate that spirit, making objectives less punishing if you have the right specialists.

    There are also more missions that seem to be about killing instead of complex objective-work, and I personally like the tough objectives so I'll be more likely to adapt the ones with buttons instead.

    MISSIONS

    LIFEBLOOD Google Doc

    Neocities Download Link
    Destroy materiel in a maze of cargo.
    I wanted to make this mission because randomly-creating objectives is pretty fun and doesn't show up that much.



    PRISONER P-09 Google Doc (Renamed to "Prisoner #9 for that SEO)
    Prisoner #9 Neoticities Download Link
    Rescue a prisoner from a holding cell in this asymmetric mission.
    The original has a Nomad assault team busting into a holding cell via a two-pronged assault. It's very old and very confusing. This should bring a modicum of clarity to it. It's a tiny bit more balanced, but still weird asymmetric fun.

    OUTRAGE #2, "DOLLY HEAVY MAMA" Google Doc
    Dolly Heavy Mama Neocities PDF Download Link
    Sharpshooters seek each other out for the kill during a firefight.
    A classic "kill" mission , with the added twist that you're also using a special sniper against another sniper. A nice mix between silly and strategic.

    THE LOST POST - Google Doc
    Probably the worst scenario I've read in terms of layout and formatting. Based on some ancient 1st or 2nd edition scenario. The actual writing of the PDF is hilariously unclear. Sadly, I think by trying to re-write it to 'make sense' I've taken away a lot of that flavor. However, it's actually playable now. The other big change was that I called it the 'firebase' instead of typing out 'orbital tracking post 43' dozens of times.

    It's confusing, too. If you delete the data, do you actually prevent your opponent from downloading it? Nothing in the rules say you can't. And with 4OP on the table for exfiltrating... well, in general it's a hilariously bad old scenario. I didn't even bother with the PDF business.
