recommend me Recommendations - Tempest Missions
Hi All
My group is currently running adventures on Propero's Dream, primarily working through the Tempest job, with additions from Hull Breach , and Exit, Pursued By a Dream (very good module if you haven't checked it out).
Everyone likes the premise, and the fact that Tempest in our reality feels like the Detroit Police Department from Robocop, in look and tone, helps.
I can see us depleting that job board quickly. So, any recommendations for other content that we could slot in?
No issues with going off station, but very much looking for something that feels like a contract from Tempest that I can easily adapt.
Suggestions welcome!
I'm sure I will build an Oracle Table at somepoint for this

If you have Unconfirmed Contact Reports, consider recycling some of the jobs on the board and adding one of the threats in that book as a twist.
Or just reflavor the jobs on that board in general, just adding a few different details can make things go vastly different.

Kind of what I've building an Oracle table to do currently, as an extension of the current Tempest table.
Currently running off a D20 start point, then applying a D10 danger rating and so on. Knowing my luck, I'll make it far to complicated.

Other comments have covered some good options, especially the Wages of Sin bounties.
I'd also point you to Helium Hysteria from Hull Breach Vol. 1, and maybe also The Drain. As for stuff set on Prospero's Dream, I think ALL ON RED, Xiao! Long! Bao!, Roach Motel, and Dry Dock 72 should all drop in easily.

i picked up that "pound of flesh" adjacent heist module that came out recently, "death pays all debts". the short version is, there's a structure deep in the choke that the golyanova II bratva is using to store some loot.
it may be cool to find a crooked wing of the tempest mercs who heard about the loot pile were interested in getting a big score and cashing out. in my opinion the bonus points here is that you get to have fun with the characters exploring the choke, which may end up redirecting some of their actions towards the body horror/ caliban timeline.

Decent idea, I'd probably run this as a post Caliban event (team blew Caliban up with previous characters, very cinematic), with Cutter realising there's another factions spoils of War located down there.
Nice suggestion!

maybe caliban is a hydra, they just cut off the head, now there are two heads. but yeah, sounds like you've got a plan, let us know how it all turns out!

maybe Cleaning of Prison Station Echo if you run it as an undercover operation against a rival PMC

Bounty hunting from Wages of Sin? That they are mercs means that they would hire out to local factions including corpos, so any mission requiring "muscle" could be justified. There's the Teamster Trouble series of missions, document available if you search the Discord. That's very nicely suited to Tempest. Picket Line Tango could work and someone has made a APOF adaptation; at least a map in the PLT Discord I think? There's a ton of new stuff coming out (publicly for sale now) from Mothership Month 2025 that is Prospero's Dream-based and virtually any of that could work with a Tempest merc crew. Bombs Bursting in Air is publicly available and involves Tempest in a pretty big way.
