If anyone wants to make a North American railroading version of Kraftwerk's Trans-Europe Express, this defect detector site has all the samples you need.

The too-sparse deployment of these detectors led to the overheating and derailment of the Norfolk Southern train in East Palestine, Ohio, earlier this year. To prevent an explosion, train crews dumped roughly 115,000 gallons of vinyl chloride into a ditch and burned it... ... ... 🤔

#TheEnemyWithin (#WFRP) is one of my absolute favorite campaigns to buy! In my opinion, it is based on the often criticized concept on #railroading. From (my) experience, players have to engage with certain elements to make the story work, but in return they get a great adventure. I think that's more than fine. A „good“, constructive group, GM + players, work together for a successful game experience anyway! Therefore I have in principle no problem with #railroading.
