 ===== Controversy over Naming =====
 DWU’s name draws fire from [[individualists|Individualists]], who argue a scientific institution should not honor a tribal spiritual figure while memories of the ship university’s destruction remain raw. Supporters counter that the name enshrines reconciliation and shared stewardship.
+===== Tactical Advice for Dungeon Masters =====
+  * **Adventure Hook — The Hostage Thesis:** Dr. Samuel Lee, Dean of Mechanical Engineering, disappears after an evening practicum; hours later a terse ransom note surfaces — its terms maddeningly vague. The [[jane_bold_gang|Jane Mendoza Gang]] is implicated, but their true aim remains unclear. Uneasy with how neatly the trail presents itself, the Federal Sheriff quietly deputizes the PCs to work off the books. Follow ink-stained ledgers, swapped FCS waybills, and chalk-coded drops through perpetual twilight to trace the kidnappers’ route. Find Lee alive and bring the professor home before the gang bends his expertise into something the [[peace_treaty|Peace Treaty]] never imagined.
