Pinebox, TX in Our Home Campaigns...
Hi there everyone,
I was wondering... Does anyone else use Pinebox, TX in their home campaigns? I've been working on building a d20 Modern campaign for my home campaign for a while now, and have based it's location on the maps and information i've been able to get dealing with Pinebox, TX... The only differences has been some changes... a few more buildings that are taller/bigger than two stories, the addition of a military base a few miles a way where the PCs operate out of (Camp Purgatory, based on the maps of Camp Trepitation from the module Weekend Warriors) as part of the top secret military unit Task Force 555 that is known unofficially as the 'Shadow Chasters'. They are sent on missions dealing with the strange and unusual... Be it paranormal threats, fighting against terrorists armed with occultic artifiacts or just the creations of some mad scientist. The PCs will be dealing with both paranormal and mudane threats. One of the threats that Task Force 555 will be dealing with is a maverick scientist who has decided to solve the fact that many species have gone extinct using cloning technology, and to do this he has created a network of envirnomentalists who have worked together to raise the money to fund the work, and to gather samples of DNA to bring the extinct species form the dead.... Unfortuantely, some of the samples of an aerial dino that was found in the British Isles actually was something else... Something even more dangerous than ever thought possible.

I think you have some great ideas. We do have a secret military complex in Golan County, though ours is different from Camp Trepidation as much of it is underground. I think the 555 is an awesome idea and Pinebox is an ideal place to look for the paranormal (See the stories section, as I want to get deeper into the history of the county).
Let me know how it goes and please, add the writeups or ideas to the story section of the forums. Look forward to reading what you come up with. Ed

I forgot to add that Task Force 555 "Shadow Slayers" is the miltiary might of the Office for Paranormal Investigation & Intervention (OPII). The sister agency of the OSS (Office of Strategic Services, forerunner of the CIA) that was originally formed to create an organization that could counter Hitler's interest in the Occult (the Nazis sank as much resources into the Occult studies as the US sank into the Manhattan Project). And Camp Purgatory was originally built to house the many Nazi scietnists, occultists and technicians who had defected to the allies before, during and after the Second World War. The Headquarters of OPII is still located at Camp Purgatory, the only sign marking said building is... "Restricted Access: Authorized Personnel Only"... The building has it's own security fence and gatehouse that is constantly patrolled around the clock by 2 MP sentries and a K9. I had originally thought of the OPII headquarters being an underground facility based on the Mt. Pony facitlies, and might still do this when i finally get a chance to draw out the floorplan / map of the facilities. Richard and Emma Spake |

...the Department of Homeland Security has announced today that they have changed the National Threat level form Elevated Risk (Yellow) to High Risk (Orange). This has been the first time the National Threat Level has been changed since the system was enacted in 2002. Also Secretary Michael Chertoff has asked the American people to please remain on alert since Intelligence assets in the Middle East have identified a highly credible threat to the American people that possibly involves the release of a Biological Weapon in a major American city. House Democratic Majority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) has released a public statement that the Bush Administration is only attempting to use fear to distract the American people from the troubles that are currently being faced in Iraq. In other News... - |

... in the aftermath of the declaration of Martial Law, the Bush Administration has used the United States Armed Forces in an attempt to quarantine the infected cities and areas of the United States while the President and other high ranking members of the Administration have been secreted into bunkers while leaving the American people to at the mercy of those poor souls whom have become victims of this bio-terrorist attack... -
...the Department of Defense has acknowledged this morning this morning that both Hong Kong and Shanghai have been destroyed by nuclear weapons, those responsible for this action has as of this report not yet been determined. - ...Peoples Republic of China has used Nuclear Weapons in a desperate attempt to contain the outbreak of the infection in Hong Kong and Shanghai. We have learned that this was not the first time that China has used nuclear weapons to contain an outbreak of this infection. The so-called above ground nuclear tests that where reported earlier this month where in fact an attempt to contain outbreaks of where al-Qeada had originally tested this horrible bio-agent. The island nations of Japan and Australia have maintained their self-imposed quarantines by cutting themselves off from outside influences. Initial reports from Tokyo have indicated that Japan has yet to suffer form an outbreak of this horrible infection... In other news Los Angeles has become a horrible battleground between the Reanimates and California National Guard... - ...government officials have been receiving an alarming amount of a number of reports of mass suicides across the United States, and around the globe. We have learned that entire families have chosen to commit suicide rather than suffer from the horrendous effects of this rapidly spreading infection... - ...we have received recent reports that the LAPD and California National Guard has pulled out of South Central Los Angeles, and set up a defensive line on the outskirts of Beverly Hills in an attempt to protect the evacuation of citizens to the recently activated FEMA relocation centers. - ...as of this morning the city of Los Angeles has been lost, completely overrun by the Reanimates. The remaining US Army and National Guard units have been given orders to withdraw from the area immediately since President Bush has authorized the use of tactical nuclear weapons on the exceptionally large concentrations of reanimates in an attempt to kill as many of the reanimates as possible. If you are still trapped in the City of Los Angeles you are requested to please take the efforts to do your best to get out of the city or to a secure fortified location within the next twenty hours... - ...all survivors still trapped in the cities are requested to travel to the nearest safe zones within their area so that they can be evacuated before the use of both conventional and tactical nuclear weapons. The US Army, the US Air Force, the US Navy, the US Marine Corps and the US Coast Guard will continue to assist in the rescue of those whom have been trapped in their homes with helicopters and extraction teams. The Red Cross and FEMA will continue to maintain the operations of the Evacuation Centres as long as possible... - ...while few foreign governments have survived the outbreak of this plague, but rest assured that the United States Government is still functioning at this time and attempting to take actions that will bring this plague under control. Talks with representatives of other surviving nations has been able to come to an agreement that will pool resources and information in coming up with a viable counter-measure for the bio-terror agent that is responsible for the current state of world affairs... - "...the city of Los Angeles has been lost, completely overrun by the Reanimates. The remaining US Army and National Guard units have been given orders to withdraw from the area immediately since President Bush has authorized the use of nuclear weapons on the abandoned city in an attempt to kill as many of the exceptionally large concentration of reanimates... If you are still trapped in the City of Los Angeles please do your best to get out of the city in the next twenty hours..." - ...I repeat, I have not authorized the use of nuclear weapons for use against reanimate life forms here in the United States or elsewhere. I have authorized the United States Armed Forces to use of Fuel Air Munitions on overrun population centers when it is felt needed by the commanders on site... - Pres. George W. Bush, Official Presidential Announcement, ...the President has said that we are now authorized to drop a couple of MOABS on those cities that we can confirm have indeed been overrun and evacuated of all survivors. Now a MOAB will level a city without us having to bother using any messy nuclear devices that we would have to go in afterwards when this mess is over, and have to clean up all that dangerous radioactive contamination. And with the strong possibility that there will be some reanimates that just might have survived a nuclear blast showing up and causing even more problems, and believe me... those damn things are hard enough to have to deal with, without adding dealing with them wearing the protective gear to survive in a radioactive contaminated environment to the mix... - LTG <>, Site-R Pentagon Media Center Press Briefing, ..yes a team of military personnel used a low-yield Special Atomic Demolition Munitions to destroy the CDC headquarters in the heart of Atlanta shortly after the city was overrun by reanimates. The reason we used a nuclear device was to make sure that the biological and hazardous materials being contained there would not be released or fall into the wrong hands. And using an extremely low-yield nuclear explosive device was felt to be the best thing for us to use since its effects could be easily contained to the area in question... We did not take this decision lightly, in fact it took over 48 hours of debating the issue for us to make this decision to even use a SADM... - LTG <>, Site-R Pentagon Media Center Press Briefing, |

I have been running a Supernatural campaign (using the Supernatural RPG) and Pinebox has become a sort of basecamp for the hunters when not out on the road.
