Rio Grande

Level: 3
Age: Developed Recursion
Laws: Standard Physics
Playable Races: Human
Foci: all draggable from The Strange core rulebook, plus from the Translation Codex Carries a Badge, Draws Faster, Fights Dirty
Connection to the Strange: No direct connection; trips to the Strange require a trip through a recursion that have a connection to the Strange
Connection to Earth: none directly
Size: 90 miles across
Spark: 5%
Trait: Amnesia - any creature without the spark forgets their origins and believes that they came from the Rio Grande. Creatures with the spark must succeed on a check.

Recursion is fictional leakage of the wild west Texas mythologization.

Recursion is a constant state of warfare, resetting the Alamo periodically as the Mexican horde overwhelms the Texan defenders
Characters are either born there, or have forgotten where they really came from, and are trapped in the repeating saga. In the bowels of the Alamo, there is an inapposite gate to the Gloaming.

Rio Grande City - the southern part of the recursion is boundaries by the Rio Grande river. On its northern bank, a newly constructed boom town, base for the Texan armies invasion of Mexico.

San Antonio de Bexar - on the northeast edge of the recursion, just to the west of the Alamo, a city damaged and still recovering from the Mexican invasion 15 years earlier.

Tombstone - on the western edge, Tombstone is the home of the gunfight at the OK corral. The local events repeat the fight and the confrontations that lead up to it periodically.

Tombstone Station

Level: 5
Age: Developed Recursion
Laws: Mad Science
Playable Races: Human, all sorts of strange aliens
Foci: Carries a Badge (the PC becomes the local law enforcement), Draws Faster, Fights Dirty, Fires All Weapons, Knows These Parts, Pilots Starships, Reroutes Power, and Rides into the Sunset.
Connection to the Strange: The station is a crossroads between a number of science fiction recursions, and travel into a nearby nebula leads directly into the Strange itself.
Connection to Earth: Translation portals briefly become active at certain science fiction conventions. The more the sci-fi content matches the blend of western and space found on the station, the more likely it is to spawn a gate from time to time.
Size: A massive space station on the edge of a starship graveyard from which it gets its name.
Spark: 25%
Trait: Tough (see The Strange corebook page 142)

A starry bridge between genres and various spacefaring recursions, Tombstone Station is both a space station and a wild west boomtown, where would-be nebula miners stop for supplies. Its unique position at the intersection of a number of recursions, not to mention the Strange (if
one ventures far enough into the nebula), makes it a frequent meeting point for recursors.

Some come to the station just to test themselves, as the place is known to host a number of famous outlaws and laser pistoleers. Indeed, the criminal element on the Station have a booming trade in arms smuggled between recursions.

Despite its gun slinging reputation, there is a modicum of civility practiced on the station, enforced by a star-badged sheriff. Jeapa, as she’s known, makes sure all the troublemakers
head off the station as fast as possible. Sometimes trouble comes from more dangerous beings from beyond the recursions of Earth, which is when Jeapa turns to recursors to aid her.
