MRX

Yes, the RPG contest-winning railroad RPG classic. I decided to reopen it because it was a lot of fun.


Well, basically when you join and get a
job, you get entered as a trainee (Example: Trainee
engineer,conductor,etc.) and you run into your first mystery. I don't
want to give much away but it often involves an engines problem if
you're an engineer or conductor, or a switching problem if you're a
Switch Operator/ dispatcher, or as a railfanner usually a problem with
the camera/ railfanning gear. You have to fix this problem in some way
to move on in the story. The first problem are easy, but the problems
often get harder along the way. Once you solve that mystery you move on
in the story and everything returns to normal for you.


And a few more positions I added for the passenger trains:

Passenger
Waiter
Chef
Engineer
Conductor
Switch Operator
Railfanner (the people that stand beside the tracks and take pictures of railway
stuff.)
Dispatcher

As a passenger, the problems you'll face involve spilled food, bumpy
coaches, etc. As a waiter, the problems you'll face involve spilled
food, messed up orders, and ripped menus. As a chef you'll get stuff
like burnt food, food catching on fire. A bad chef partner that always
(err...umm..not always.) screws things up. The things that happen after
will be the same as the other guys.


The railway is called MRX, which is short for Mystery Railroad Extension.

I'm going to need 2 more owners. There can be as many as there can be for
the other positions. Need a few employees to start, and those ones won't be
trainees. The rest of the employees will stat out as trainees.

"Well, I guess I better find some employees."

Job: Chef

The accidents that accompanied Wynne's recent promotion to head-chef of the local restaurant convinced her boss that she was wrought with bad luck, thus costing Ms. Poe her job. She couldn't care less about this, however, for this was her 6th failure this year. Quite frankly, Wynne grew accustomed to getting fired - she only expected so much.
While enjoying the luxury of her small home in the center of the town, she came across an ad in The Mystery Sentinel newspaper for this railway called Mystery Railroad Extension - surely, a newly established railway would find the skills of a young chef useful, and the name sounded interesting enough.
Wynne woke up the next morning and quickly got dressed, she stepped onto the streets, stopped a taxi, and stepped into the car.
"Hello, miss," the taxi driver greeted, "where would you like to go?"
"Good morning." replied Wynne as she handed him a small scrap of paper that had the address for the MRX headquarters the advertisement supplied scribbled on it. The taxi driver examined the paper for a few minutes and started driving. Small chatter ensued along the way.
