…well, what is your opinion? I have played this scenario a lot, in different genres, and it is a lot of fun. I think one of the most important things is having a backstory to the scenario. In an RPG, it is pretty easy to have actions inside the prison have long term effects; in a one-off game, I usually handle this with victory points. That aside, my personal fave is… Historical – 1980's Soviet Gulag Rescue |

Old West prison break, with a horse pulling the prison bars out of the adobe wall. Escape from Alcatraz in the 40s and 50s. Rapunzel in her tower :) |

The Wild west one is the benchmark.We did a great Post-apoc one busting out some prisoners been held by wasteland cannibals. |

I would vote for Old West too. Either prison or about to be hanged. It is classic. |

Scifi (Combat zome would be perfect) or wild west. Partial to the robin hood style too though. |

Mideaval/fantasy dungeon escape. Pulp mysterious island. Old West could be fun, too. |

South east Asia Vietnam type, as per the "RECON" RPG rules, & possibly a transfer to some central African state. Both regions you can easily imagine low level oposition to give the players a high body count, with a relatively low risk 60's 70's or 80's equipment we are all familiar with, fighting some vile junta or enemy of "freedom" |

Rapunzel in her tower :) Funny. Fantasy is probably the genre in which I have played jailbreaks most frequently, but I have never played the classic "rescue the captive princess" scenario. |
