[UA] Jailbreak in the 50s with 3 players

[Lassi Seppälä]

Hi,

I'm going to run Jailbreak for three players that have never played  
UA before. I'm going to set it in the 1950s, because I want to tie it  
in with my upcoming campaign.

I don't have the book(s) with me now, but I want to get this rolling,  
so what do I need to consider? Which characters should I give to my  
players? Only convicts? Or maybe two cons and a hostage? Which ones?  
I'm considering playing only the mechanomancer and his wife as NPCs  
and leaving the other "leftover" characters out altogether.

What changes need to be done for it to work in the 1950s, if any? Any  
special ideas for the period? Maybe make the mechanomancer into a  
former Nazi just for the fun of it? And one of the characters a WWII  
veteran? :) Also, should I tone down the clockworks a bit, because  
they could be too 'wondrous' for the period?

Thanks in advance!
