From publisher blurb:
A lower-tech world test-fires a ballistic missile. Not an uncommon occurrence, but the repressive government of Telus isn’t supposed to be able to accomplish such a feat. That they did gets the attention of the interstellar government, which detected the launch, the subsequent destruction of the missile when it went off course, and the landing of its warhead — a package of sensors — intact in the planet’s backcountry. A representative then hires the PCs as deniable assets to recover the sensors for interstellar government study. But the woods are hungry, and if the PCs aren't vigilant, they just might be next on the menu.
Payload is a short science fiction adventure using the Cepheus Engine (CE), Cepheus Deluxe (CD) and the Original Science Fiction Roleplaying Game (OSFRPG) rules. Other 2D6 systems are easily adapted.
