I ran a game of Ghost Ops (Savage Worlds version) at Genghis Con in Denver on February 22nd. The general plot was that the SS Kurtaran, a Nigerian flagged ship owned by a known weapons dealer was headed to Veracruz, Mexico with an unknown cargo, but one rumored to be a “game changer” for the cartels.

The heroes arrived at Veracruz, Mexico and met contacts within the Mexican government and navy. After being confronted by crooked cops, getting information from a cartel lieutenant, and enjoying a run in with some overconfident sicarios, the team boarded the SS Kurtaran while it was still in international waters. Using stealth, hacking, and suppressed weapons, the team shut down the engines and captured a Hezbollah engineer. Things got noisy then and a close quarters battle raged in the stairwell and narrow halls. They managed to capture another HVT, an Iranian Quds operative, aand escape as fire consumed the ship and the Katyusha-style rockets it carried.

Unfortunately, I got so caught up in running the game that I didn’t get any other pictures of the action inside the ship. Maybe I’ll run the adventure again and be more thoughtful next time.
