The Grip of the Kraken

We had a lot of fun playing the scenario The Grip of the Kraken for the Doctor Who Roleplaying Game from Cubicle 7.  The scenario is set far into the future (we placed it in the 38th Century AD) aboard an enormous generation ship, the Yatsoshiro, twelve kilometres long.

It was one of the best scenarios we've played, and you know you are getting into it as the Gamemaster when you are improvising a 38th Century holographic interpretation of a 20th Century Western (with all the inaccuracy that implies) for the time travellers to interact with. The scenario can be found in The Gamemaster's Companion.

The concept had an exciting horror element to it, involving an almost Cthulhu style entity, with plenty of action and a fantastic scene involving a rupture to a corridor in the ship. 

I created a model of the Yatsoshiro in Cinema 4D and have a couple of renders of this below (click for a larger look).
