Be nice to the Order of the Invisible Road. They're the people in hi-vis outfits fixing the place up. They live down there, beneath the subway, in their own city, called The Crossroads.They grow their own food, make their own tools, everything they need. Totally self sustaining. And what do they do? They built the tunnels of the bunker level. They repair the subway so it doesn't fall on their heads. But why? Why would anyone want to ...

For some unknown reason, TSR licensed the classic sci-fi film 2001 to make a RPG module for their sci-fi game, Star Frontiers. It's an extremely literal interpretation of the film. Start as man-apes scavenging food in 4 million BC and end up face to face to with the Star Child. Enjoy!

No one knows where this photo was taken. It was found in the subway. Several people recognized the figure in the corner as the Good Soldier, a notorious Bleak who wanders the subway and bunker, attacking any explorers it finds. Some explorers swear they’ve killed the Good Soldier, but it seems death isn’t permanent for it. It shows how little we know about the Bleak and what they can do.
The Bleak are named...

The Bunker is where the real money is. It’s bigger than the surface and the subway although no one knows how exactly how big it is. Explorers keep finding new hubs and sections and older sections are often repopulated by newer inhabitants. It’s extremely dangerous, so be wary. They started building it shortly before the Cold War began and they haven’t stopped. [REDACTED] still sends in teams to excavate new...

Years ago, a production company optioned RPPR to make a sitcom. A pilot was made but lost. All that's left is the intro. I recently discovered the VHS tape they sent me with the intro - I had used it to record some TV but fortunately the intro was still there.

We think the subway was built sometime in the late 19th century, modeled after the London Underground. It has ten stations that we know of although rumors about other stations persist. Seven of the stations are named after continents, with the other three being "Builders", "Quarry", and "Grand Central". We don't know who used the subway but we think each station had portals to Earth. Theoretically, a person could set foot o...
