Zoos became popular in the late nineteenth century as public attractions, even though they have been around in one form or another for centuries. Historically, a number of monarchs have kept private zoos, especially in Rome and the Far East. However, these zoos, as well as most nineteenth- century zoos, were not much more than rows of cages. Mortality rate of the animals, and handlers, was fairly high.

Modern zoos use open habitats to house most of the animals. These habitats are separated from the public by guardrails and sometimes deep trenches or moats. Vegetation and rocks give a natural look and feel, though the animals can usually retreat to a den, which is far more stark, inside the exhibit. If the zoo is large, the den might have a viewing area that allows the public to see the animals in their retreat as well. Less aggressive animals may have a simple fence or short wall dividing them and their camera-wielding predators. Goats, sheep, and easily domesticated animals are often housed in fenced “petting zoos,” where children might get to touch and feed them.

Exceptions to this kind of animal display exist for creatures that can more easily escape or need a special climate. Birds are normally kept in a sanctuary covered by a massive cage or net, which might have a lagoon for water birds. Reptiles are kept in a structure with glass-walled rooms, monkeys in large areas or cages with trees or tree-like structures, and bats in an enclosed building with an observation section at one end. Additionally, some zoos have penguins, otters, seals, and walruses, which require an aquatic habitat with islands and ponds. In rare cases, zoos may have dolphins, whales, and displays of exotic fish.

Wide, concrete or asphalt walkways twist and turn between and around hubs of habitats in the modern zoo. Exhibits are usually grouped together by species, such as big cats, bears, elephants, small mammals, aquatics, and similar categories, or by region, such as Africa and Asia. There is generally a snack bar or restaurant, gated ticket center, and administrative building with educational facilities, security, and first aid. Unseen by the public is typically a veterinary clinic where most any kind of medical procedure can be performed. These facilities are either in areas obscured by foliage or living plant walls, encircled by habitats, or occasionally underground, linked by tunnels.

Zoos are a locale that is packed with scores of innocent bystanders; to make situations even more interesting, there are hundreds, even thousands, of wild and exotic animals in the mix as well. With the proliferation of daft Australian wildlife show hosts, numerous exotic creatures have been snatched, tranquilized, boxed up, and placed in sleepy suburban zoos. The idea of an encounter with a rare Amazonian snake so poisonously lethal that organs shrivel at the mere mention of the name now become a lot more believable On a daily basis, the ingredients for sheer disaster such as a church group and a lion, two natural enemies, are kept apart and safe while maintaining an educational, family experience. Most common problems such as medical emergencies, extreme weather, power outages, and so are usually contained. It generally takes a very clever animal, a miscreant presence, or an inept zoo employee to release an animal into the general populace. Nonetheless, animal escapes into the keeper areas behind the exhibits do happen fairly frequently.

Adventures surrounding zoos in a non-supernatural setting often involve animal theft, by greedy individuals meeting a black market request or by animal activists seeking to “free” the creatures from their captivity. In mystical or science fiction settings, circumstances in the zoo can be far more unusual. For instance, masters of mind control may seek animal familiars to aid them in their goals. Similarly, what appears to be a mundane bear might actually be a shapeshifter. For an espionage twist, the creatures could have been taken from dozens of countries, which opens the possibility for the involvement of many cultures and governments. Discovering the existence of a stolen panda in the local zoo may enrage a Chinese ambassador, and it becomes the character’s responsibility to resolve the incident.

There are a number of environmental and political issues that can be blended into zoo encounters. Zoos in modern day are often educational platforms for wildlife protection, repopulation of endangered species, and conservation of habitats such as the rain forest. Thus, studious scientists, opportunistic corporate interests, and the lunatic fringe of activism all frequent this location and could possibly cause trouble because of their enthusiasm for their cause.

In modern zoos, zoologists make up most – if not all – of the staff. They have 2D in all characteristics except Knowledge at 3D and have brawling: grabs, dodge, and survival skills of +1D to + 2D as a result of working with the animals. Their medicine and scholar: biology/zoology is typically +3D. Zoo security has 2D for all attributes with brawling, dodge, marksmanship, medicine, and security skills of 3D. They often use transports like golf carts, light trucks, and Jeeps that carry first aid kits, tranquilizer guns, and restraints (such as nets, bags, cages, and rope).

The squared circle, as it’s affectionately called, is the center of all (well, most) of professional wrestling’s action. What may seem to be just three sets of ropes tied to a few steel posts is actually a carefully designed structure built to enhance the wrestling experience.

To describe a generic wrestling ring, let’s do a top down, inside out approach. First, there are the steel corner posts. These are the ring’s anchors and keep it steady with all the action going on inside and out.

Next are the turnbuckles. Each rope is connected to the ring posts via a turnbuckle. Ropes are hooked up to the posts slack and are tightened by inserting a metal bar through the center of the turnbuckle and twisting the bar. Turnbuckles are very solid and can be quite dangerous if exposed. For this reason a large pad covers each one – most of the time.

Then there are the ropes. Every wrestling ring has three ropes on each side. Ropes have gone from being mainly adornments used to keep the action in the ring area to integral parts of a wrestler’s repertoire. Ropes are usually made up of steel cable covered with a thick padding. The tightening of the ropes with the turnbuckles gives them their spring (+2 to acrobatics rolls when using the skill) and lets the wrestler bounce on, off, and over them.

The mat is the canvas floor of the ring, but it is much more than that. Underneath the ring itself are springs designed to give some bounce to the mat. Through the combined use of turnbuckles, ropes, and a spring-loaded mat, professional wrestlers manage to pull off their eye-popping stunts. Around the base of the ring is a cover sometimes decorated with a wrestling logo that hides the ring’s underneath portion. It also acts as a good place to hide things participants are not allowed to have in the ring (at least according to the official rules).

Outside of the ring itself is what’s called the “ring area.” This area is separated from the crowd by a steel barrier. Inside the ring area are often the announcer’s table, the ring bell, timekeeper, announcers, ring steps, and various camera crews (if the event is televised).

Wrestling Ring Variations

Since most wrestling rings are pretty generic, this section describes a variety of variations on the standard wrestling ring. This does not include events like “tables” or “tables, ladders, and chairs” matches that revolve around bring things “into” a standard ring.

Barbed Wire

A particularly vicious type of wrestling match is the barbed wire match. In this match, the ring ropes are actually replaced with lengths of barbed wire stretched berween the turnbuckles. Other than the obvious effect of curring anyone coming into contact with the wire, it also grounds high-flying wrestlers, as the barbed wire doesn’t give them the same footing or support a standard ring rope would.

In a cage match, the ring is surrounded by a cage usually made of chain-link material (like a fence) with a steel support ring at the top and a door in one corner, but a few shows have had elaborate steel crossbar cages, which are easier to climb. The idea behind a cage match is to be the first person to escape to the outside via the door or by going up and over the cage itself.

Cell

A cell match has the same basic principle as a cage match, except there is a roof on top of the cage preventing anyone from leaving – at least in theory. Cell matches are known for their ferocity and for wrestlers escaping to the outside of the ring and climbing the cell itself. The cell’s top then becomes a makeshift ring area where a wrestler could end up plummeting five meters to the floor below.

Exploding Death Match

The king of all hardcore matches, the Exploding Death Match combines the barbed wire match with explosions. The exploding portions of the ring are sometimes placed in the corners on the turnbuckles, or outside the ring itself on the floor around it in the ring area. Coming into contact with any of these areas cause them to explodes, doing serious harm (damage 3D) to the wrestler.

Multiple Rings

While not a variation in itself, some events have two or more rings are placed side by side, and the wrestling action flows between them. Sometimes multiple rings have been paired with cages or cells to create truly different wrestling experiences.

Pole

In this match, a pole is placed in one or more corners of the ring and the first person to reach the item on the pole wins the match. A variation of this theme has a weapon of some sort hanging from the pole, and the first person to grab it is allowed to use it on his opponent.

Scaffold

One of the most dangerous of all matches, a scaffold match consists of a regular wrestling ring with a scaffold built up and over it. Two or more combatants climb opposite sides of the scaffold, and the participant standing on it is the winner.

As long as people have had stuff, they have also struggled to house it all. Warehouses are the most utilitarian manifestation of this desire – a building dedicated solely to storing things. The standard warehouse of 100 years ago looked remarkably similar to today’s version, and the warehouse of the future will probably also be very familiar.

The standard warehouse is, at its core, a large box-like building, designed to get objects in and out as efficiently as possible. Warehouses traditionally also have utilitarian offices for their workers, usually sectioned off to one side; outside of being traditionally less ornate than their more dedicated cousins, these are otherwise very similar (see the “Office” entry in this book). Unlike retail locations, warehouses discourage visitors; they are situated away from standard traffic (often in a “warehouse district” of town), have bare metal walls with no decoration inside or out, and favor protecting their merchandise over making people comfortable. As such, the typical storage area has no climate control unless the stored product demands it, resulting in extremely uncomfortable winters and summers, if the area has such temperature extremes. This seclusion makes the warehouse easier to load and unload in quiet, but it can also make it a tempting target for thieves.

The standard small warehouse has one roll-up garage-like door by the storage area, and traditional doors into the office. Larger warehouses may have multiple or larger entrances to either area, as might those designed for a specific purpose, such as one intended to store large airplane parts. There are almost always entryways from the office onto the warehouse floor, since those workers are primarily in charge of buying and selling the merchandise, inventory control, or security.

The layout of the warehouse floor primarily depends on what is being stored. In general, warehouses have arrangements that ensure every product is accessible, although slow-selling material may be relegated to an out-of-the-way corner. Thus a heavy machinery warehouse would be arranged into wide aisles so that a forklift could transport any particular piece, while a book redistribution warehouse would keep its books sorted by company and ISBN.

What a warehouse lacks in beauty, it usually makes up for in security. Warehouses typically depend on three different types of protection: structural integrity, alarms, and guards. All warehouses rely on a secure construction (usually solid metal walls and doors – 30 to 40 Toughness, depending on importance). Medium-sized warehouses generally have an alarm system; thwarting this requires an Easy security check for poor or ill-kept warehouses, Moderate for standard important buildings, and Difficult for those storing the most valuable and expensive equipment. Finally, larger warehouses often have at least one security guard on hand at all hours, and multiple guards might watch exceptionally large or valuable sites. To move palettes of product or equipment, large warehouses utilize forklifts.

Warehouses can be customized fairly easily to suit different needs; the only general requirements are storage areas and office space. Thus to mimic a smaller warehouse with the map, simply use the Secondary Storage area as the whole warehouse; the doors connecting the Primary and Secondary Storage areas would instead open to the street or parking lot.

Riding Forklift

Basically a heavy-duty motor on wheels, with a seat directly over the engine and two movable prongs (forks) in the front, the forklift makes multiple tiers of shelving in a warehouse possible, as well as enabling workers to move much more than they could on their own or with a simple, pushed pallet jack.

Passengers: 1

Toughness: 6D (does not protect those in an open cab)

Maneuverability: -1D

The Peachtree Road Business Facility, built in 1978, dwarfs many other warehouses in the city. Its primary storage area provides over 6,000 square meters of space, not counting the offices and other rooms, while secondary storage gives another 1,000 square meters. The warehouse’s current client is KitchiBath Pros, a major chain kitchen and bath fixtures retailer. They use the warehouse to store the region’s supply of bathtubs, countertops, toilets, and the like. (The buff foreman, 34-year-old Al Marshall, jokes that if a fight broke out here, it would literally involve the kitchen sink.)

The Peachtree Facility usually loads product into itself via the primary storage area garage door off the main room, while the loading dock is typically used as a staging area to prepare items for shipping to individual stores. Because the loading dock is so close to the offices and other eyes, sneaking into the warehouse would be much easier via the primary or secondary storage entrances (Easy sneak check), rather than the loading dock (Difficult).

The warehouse’s records are computerized and accessible via any terminal, though they are password protected (Moderate tech to hack in). The warehouse is also about 50% larger than it needs to be, so while it would be difficult to sneak merchandise out, it would be relatively trivial to get objects in … especially if the computer record could be modified to account for the mystery parcels.

Things to Do

+ The players’ characters require an essential, rare machine part that has been obsolete for a decade. They find paper evidence indicating that one particular warehouse might contain the item, but the foreperson refuses to search for it since the computer has no record of the item. Can they fig- ure out a way to sneak or bluff their way in, find the dusty part amid the huge warehouse, and escape unnoticed?

+ An unsavory villain is hiding in a warehouse at night, and it’s vital he be stopped … quickly! Can the players’ characters thwart him amid the dangers of darkness, blind alleys, teetering boxes, and the unfettered forklift? And if it’s true the warehouse was once used by the government to store arcane artifacts, what happens if the villain finds one?

Stadiums are fascinating places, particularly for people-watching. Often people go to a sporting event less to watch the event itself than to watch the other spectators. Young and old, rich and barely scraping by, families and loners: all sorts go to stadiums. Of course, the groups do segregate themselves, which is also interesting to watch-the rich buy box seats or front-row season tickets, while the working- class get seats up in the nosebleed section. Groups of college students or other young adults cluster together, usually in the cheap seats, while more elderly attendees huddle together in the back where they don’t have to walk far to their seats. Families often go with other families, creating a single Large mass, while loners find seats by themselves and sit curled up to avoid attracting attention.

Stadiums are also interesting because they showcase athletic ability. People pay to watch baseball, basketball, football, or any other sport, to see the athletes handling themselves with speed, strength, and grace. Most sports are competitive, and some attendees get in to that aspect, rooting for their teams and shouting insults at their rivals. Others use the event as a chance to get out of the house, either alone or with others, and to distract themselves from regular concerns. Likewise some people bet on sporting events and watch each game tensely, hoping to make money off a particular team’s success or failure.

Stadiums follow the same basic shape, regardless of their size or the spore (or sports) they feature. Every stadium has a rounded rectangular or squashed oval floor plan, with the arena at the center. The arena is easily tl1e largest space in the stadium, and around it on all sides are the seats, which recede as they rise, so that the highest seats are also the farthest away. In many stadiums some of the lower seats are boxed off for special groups – often a set of small rooms sits just below the highest group of seats, and these rooms have fancier accommodations, including comfortable couches, private restrooms, and fully stocked bars.

Most stadiums have several gates or doors at ground level, each one leading to elevators, escalators, ramps, or a combination of the three. Since stadiums are designed to hold large numbers of people, they have to handle large numbers entering and exiting all at once, and having so many different access points helps distribute the people more evenly.

Another feature of every stadium is the players areas. In most cases, these are rooms containing rows of lockers, divided by benches, plus showers and lavatory facilities, but sometimes they contain only a bench and a small restroom, particularly in smaller stadiums. Nonetheless, every stadium has some place for the participants to go before and after the event, and these places are close to the arena and have direct access to it.

There are an open-air stadiums (primarily for football, soccer, and baseball) and covered ones (for any kind of sport). If it has a field, it might real grass or artificial. If it’s more suited for indoor sports, often basketball, indoor soccer, and hockey can use the same arena simply by covering the court with appropriate material.

Lights flooding the field with illumination are expensive additions to the stadium, but they can extend the time in which the structure can be used by several hours.

Stadiums are excellent places to hold a clandestine deal or meeting, since with that many people around, it’s easy to conduct business unnoticed, and it’s easy to disappear into the crowd. At the same time, stadiums are also ideal targets because so many people are gathered in one place for several hours at a time.

Sports and Their Skills

The following is a selection of sporting activities and the suggested skills used by their players. Game Masters should require that the character has scholar: (specialty sport) in order to properly use the skills required by that sport.

He has a bomb scrapped to his chest, and threatens to detonate it if anyone interferes – and it looks like the bomb may be powerful enough to level the entire stadium and kill everyone inside! But the players’ character can’t just lee him get away with this, especially since there’s no guarantee he won’t snap and detonate it anyway. The characters have to get in there and rescue all chose people.
