Experienced Voidtreckers will be the first to recognise when the announcement of a stop comes over the speakers: “Arriving at world 9126110 in ten, nine, eight…”
The doors don’t open, the train doesn’t stop. Instead, it slows, and the garden carriage opens its curved, clear roof as though it were a convertible, both sides folding back until the carriage is open to the air. The world is a picture of snow-covered mountains and sparse conifers, and within minutes the garden’s fountain and streams have iced over, soft snow coating the cobbles and benches.
The stop lasts all day, the vending machines dispense free hot chocolate, and the dressing carriage is filled with thick coats, wooly hats, and warm gloves.
It’s a day like any other, except that the morning announcement has a rider.
“There are packages in the luggage car for all passengers. Enjoy. ”
And indeed, it seems that something has visited during the night - the carriage at the back of the train is unusually neat, the piles of empty luggage stacked carefully near the back to make room for a huge array of wrapped objects. Void Santa, maybe? The difference between Void Santa and, say, one of the many Earth Santas or the Gyueran Spirit of Generosity, is that Void Santa doesn’t give you what you asked for.
It gives you something you wouldn’t have dared to ask for. That nerdy figurine that you eyed in the window of the store, the dress you weren’t brave enough to try on, the device you decided was too expensive. The poster of your favourite holostar, the latest risque novel from the local printworks… the list goes on.
You’ve got a present in here, better find it before someone else does!
You have arrived in a place which might remind you of Victoria London if Victoria London had floating palaces and was ruled by wizards.
Their rule is strict and any kind of Winter celebration is banned. You have been called by a group of rebels to help with an underground celebration.Team One
Distraction. Be out in the city, keep watch. If the guards get anywhere near the secret entrances distract them. Perhaps by being a lost tourist. Perhaps by causing mayhem. Make sure the organisers and party goers can arrive without a hitch.Team Two
A party is not complete without food. The party is being held underground and there isn't much in the way of kitchens and do help bake in people's houses and smuggle the food across the city. Careful of guards.Team Three
The venue needs decorating and the presents need wrapped. It might be an underground bunker but everyone is determined to make it the best festival ever, despite the risks. Help make it happen!Party
Mission complete it is of course time to party! Eat drink and be merry before you return to the void once more.

Both the cinema and library are good places to relax and get immersed in yet a different world, wide open spaces to distract from the cramped living quarters of the train.
However something is going on it seems, these worlds may be more immersive than anyone planned. It might be a film or a book but passengers may find themselves inside the story. They might take the roles of the characters in the story or remain themselves and have to navigate a strange world. They might drift from story to story or find themselves stuck in one story and have to see it out until the end.
The lower floor of this carriage is open and sprawling, with two wide, low tables and plenty of cushions and beanbags. The walls are lined with shelves and wooden chests, both filled with games. Board games, card games, you name it, though train themes feature heavily. On a shelf of its own sits a case of Duel Monsters cards.
The upper floor is split into two. One half has a pile of oversized games - lawn jenga, twister, giant connect4 - and the other, sectioned off with soft rope barriers, hosts a screen, a console, and a variety of video game controllers, including four VR headsets.
Perhaps you’re testing yourself in one of the VR Crisis simulators. Perhaps you’re learning the rules of a competitive card game a little too well, and your friendships are suffering accordingly. Perhaps you’ve convinced someone to play twister with you..?
Jia is a snowy mountainous planet, sparsely populated and freezing year round. People live in tight knit communities eeking a living out of ice fishing. The planet is also home to the Crui, small blue furry creatures that live among the ice.
The planet has been under attack from a fleet of alien ships intent on destroying the natural ice seas to gain access to precious gems that lie buried underneath and hunting the Crui. The people of the planet have mounted a defence but there are not many of them and they have called for help.Team One
The Crui are not fierce creatures and their instincts when hunted are to bury themselves in snow and wait for the danger to pass, this is ineffective against these new hunters. The people of the planet are trying to round as many up to move to a safe defend-able position. The Crui are timid but can be coaxed out with fish and hopefully led to safety. Gentleness is key, they spook easily.Team Two
Work is underway to make a defensive area to protect the Crea and those who need it. It's a tough job, there are not many natural building resources on the planet and ice structures are less that useful against the invaders' machines. Help the people come up with a plan to keep everyone safe.Team Three
The main issue with the invaders is their technology. They have mining equipment that can melt through huge chunks ice, causing untold damage to the world. The people here are pacifists and have asked that voidtreckers avoid killing the invaders if they can. Which means sabotage is the aim of the operation.

The library is normally a quiet place. Today, however, a stack of books has been scattered across the low tables and mats. Whilst this shouldn't be an issue - a few minutes of tidying, surely - it would probably have helped if the stack wasn't entirely wizardry tomes and spellbooks. Magic sparks and pops around the room as it collides with other spells, and passengers are as likely to be hit by a stray enchantment as they are to suddenly find themselves able to cast whatever it was they intercepted.
Fixing misfired passenger curses and transformations will take a while; returning the spells to their books might be sensible, but maybe no one will notice if just one spell goes missing..?
The cinema carriage, normally home to millions of films and TV shows from across the multiverse, is currently undergoing some kind of unannounced maintenance; its library has shrunk down to a few hundred offerings.
Those that remain are, to a one, cheesy horror flicks. Some are earth-like. Evil alpacas from outer space, possessed toy cars, a pack of squirrels infected by a cordyceps fungus and ready to hide pieces of brain for the winter. At least three TV series of faux mysteries and monster of the week thrillers that have an unnerving number of seasons available. People in make-up are just as common as what might actually be genuine supernatural beings on-set, though the acting is universally terrible in either case.
Glucke is a small world, known primarily for its week-long Twin-Moon Festival. For six days a year, the natural and supernatural worlds overlap, and spirits and ghosts are able to cross over to the mortal world. Everyone goes about in costume or dressed up in their best. The children and teenagers of Glucke spend the week fulfilling requests and wishes from those visiting from the other side, whilst the adults spend it in contemplation and celebration.
If it was a normal festival, the Voidtreckers wouldn't be here. A particular alignment of the titular twin moons means that the link between the worlds is both stronger and more unstable than it should be, and mischief and trouble abounds.
Team One
A number of mean-spirited people and beings from both worlds have teamed up, and are trying to trick the Glucke children into doing evil acts. Visible by a faint sickly glow in the air caused by their dark intent, they need to be stopped before they lead the kids astray. Too much evil, and the children will become ill. Subdue the people and cast out the spirits!Team Two
The larger influx of spirits means there are far too many requests to go around - the kids need help! Experiences for those beings who haven't encountered the natural world before, last requests from the departed, requests can be small - souvenirs or snacks - or large - arranging a meeting with a loved one, perhaps even brief possession. (Wishes granted generate a small amount of a sweet, ghostly substance that can restore the affected children from team one. Or, it's a unique and delicious snack.)Team Three
The strong connection between the worlds has allowed some mortals through into the spirit world, normally impossible even on the festival's final eve. This team must venture into the wispy, intangible world of the spirits to retrieve those who've strayed. Some parts are hazy replicas of the natural world, whilst others can be long stretches of nothingness interspersed by shifting lights and soft shadows, or even fantastical scenes dreamed up by a collective of spiritual consciousness. Find the lost ones, bring them home.

The train has a game carriage and the VR video games are always popular. A good way to relive boredom as well as teaching some good skills.
Crisis on...This game can be played with two to four players. It is essentially a crisis simulator mixed with an escape room. You can chose the scenario (the bridge of a space ship, a camp in a jungle, a high rise building, a sailing ship etc) and you are thrown into the middle of a crisis of some kind. Teamwork and a cool head are important as is using the surroundings wisely.
Just another day at the beach. Until it isn't. Lost children, stranded surfers and sea life attacks. Help direct life guards, reunite families and clear the dangerous parts of the beach all while working together.
The garden carriage is usually a serene space, pebbled stretches and paved paths leading in meandering paths around a central fountain, glass arching overhead. Usually. Today, the fountain and its artfully-sculpted streams have been the target of some passenger project or another. Water has been gushing out since the morning alarm. Within an hour, the carriage is flooded.
Oh, there have been some attempts at fixing it over the day. Eventually gunk blocks most of the pipes; barriers keep the water away from the doors on either end of the room; even the few plants in the carriage are surrounded by bubbles of air or sealed tubs... But unavoidably, the garden carriage is now a glorified fish tank. All it needs is some aquatic inhabitants.
The world of Bire was once a paradise of innovation and invention; the three Bastions worked together to build a perfect society atop machinery and military might. Then the Second Bastion fell. As the Voidtrecker Express arrives on Bire, the First and Third Bastions have long blamed each other, caught in a cold war with the ferocity of two starving wolves standing over a carcass. The Second Bastion is a wasteland, spotted by mercenary companies and refugee settlements.
Amidst all this, the Second's heir rises, but they need your help.Team One
The heir of the Second Bastion is the only being with the genetic signature needed to open the great vaults of the territory, and without the contents of those vaults, their people stand no chance of recovering. Seed banks, rare materials, wealth... and the loyal armies bred in the Second Bastion's deep gene wells, slumbering for centuries. The team are tasked with first finding the heir amongst the refugees, and then guiding them into the first of the vaults.Team Two
The spiked, bloodied airships of the mercenaries roam the wastes, hunting for prey. Once the proud regiments of the Second Bastion, they were driven mad by the great catastrophe that marked the fall of their territory and now slaughter their own people in an undying rage. No cure for the rage is known - the only solution if an airship reaches you is to fight for your life. This team's focus is to protect the other teams and the refugees both from the marauders. The First Bastion has donated some skirmish ships to the cause, though they aren't in the best repair...Team Three
If the Second Bastion is to recover - and for the good of Bire, it must - then her sister Bastions must put aside their animosity. It won't be easy. The cause for the catastrophe is unknown... supposedly. This team is split into two groups, one sent to each Bastion, and their role is to gather information. And, with or without that information, to broker peace between the Bastions. The First is a sweeping territory of white curves and natural groves, with a love of music and singing. Their holographic software is unrivalled. The Third is a sturdy place of towering buildings and flooded streets. Most of the territory is underwater, but that doesn't stop the grind of industry.

Normally, the morning announcement has you waking up in your designated bed, in your designated cabin, with your three designated roommates. This morning, something's wrong - you're waking up in a bed, in a cabin, with three roommates. But it isn't your bed, your cabin, or your roommates.
It looks like you've all been shuffled during the night. Pity no one's belongings got the memo, you don't recognise any of this stuff. At least you're in your own pyjamas.
The carriage-length table and benches of the dining carriage are practical. Sturdy. Easy to clean. It's a good thing, too, because roughly thirty seconds ago, a handful of boiled vegetables went flying across the room and hit someone with a wet splat.
Twenty-nine seconds ago, war was declared.
One overturned bench and three pots of cabbage later, you've picked a side. Or a side has picked you, with a projectile sailing towards your face.
The glittering, futuristic world of Tresques has long been protected by the Ciel Maidens, young women who wield their mighty empathic abilities to subdue and pilot gigantic mechanical monsters called Arc Frames. Now, with disaster on the horizon, their powers have vanished.
Team One
The primary foes of the Ciel Maidens are the Morne, hulking many-limbed shadows born from the nightmares and fears of the people of Tresques. Intangible, they roam the cities feeding on heightened emotions and stirring ill thoughts. Granted emergency Ciel badges and the use of the Arc Frames, team one are to combat the Morne wielding happiness, friendship and love as their weapons. Miniskirts are optional.Team Two
Camille, ace of the Ciel Maidens, has disappeared, after sealing the empathic powers of the entire order to avoid the loss of any more Maidens to tragedy such as that killed her partner and destroyed their Arc Frame. Team two, based in the order headquarters, are to find out as much as they can about the fate of her beloved, find Camille, and convince her to unseal the powers of the Ciel Maidens.Team Three
The Ciel Maidens have scattered to the far reaches of Tresques, seeking to restore their own powers and their confidence in themselves and each other. Some are so affected as to have birthed Morne of their own, the creatures possessing the Arc Frames and wreaking havoc. Team three are to search for the Maidens and bring them home.
