TEXT: 1) An observatory reports strange flares from the surface of Mars. With the world gov-
  ernments either ignorant of or disbelieving in the threat Mars poses, Professor Wells calls 
  upon the Leagues to provide the first line of defense against a second Martian invasion.
  2) Professor H. G. Wells proposes a pre-emptive attack on Mars. First, however mankind 
  must send pioneers to the red planet to gather valuable intelligence. The only problem is, 
  the only vessel close to being completed uses the Martian model (a huge cylinder fired by 
  a massive gun) and would be a one-way trip.
  3) An explorer who just happens to have a nearly-completed submersible is planning 
  on searching for R’lyeh. If the globetrotters can help him secure a few vital components to 
  finish his sub, they can have the privilege of being part of the expedition.
  4) An eccentric globetrotter of great renown has recently passed away. Among his pos-
  sessions is a previously unknown Mayan codex, which supposedly makes reference to 
  the continent of Mu. The codex, along with several other items, is being auctioned off 
  in London. Several Leagues are interested in acquiring the codex, and not all of them by 
  legitimate means.
  5) By circuitous means, the Mariners Club has come into possession of artifacts from the 
  Franklin Expedition (1845), which disappeared while searching for the Northwest Passage. 
  While the Rae–Richardson Arctic Expedition of 1848-1849 recorded Inuit stories saying the 
  survivors had resorted to cannibalism, the Mariners Club refuses to believe this. Its expedi-
  tion intends to locate any graves and return the bodies to Britain for proper burial.
  6) The Alpine Club proposes a rich reward to the first globetrotter who climbs the cur-
  rently-known tallest peak on every continent, including the Antarctic. Photographic and 
  written testimonies are required as evidence.
  7) The Automobile Club, Society of Aeronauts, and The Railway Club have agreed a 
  challenge to prove which form of transportation is best. They plan to pit an automobile, an 
  aeroplane, and a railway engine (the latter a normal train running to a standard schedule) 
  in a race from Paris to St. Petersburg. Drivers, mechanics, correspondents, photographers, 
  and linguistics are being sought to accompany the teams.
  8) The Christmas Society has promised British troops stationed in South Africa a white 
  Christmas. They require trustworthy globetrotters to transport their snow-generating 
  machine to the Cape Colony, assemble it at the other end, and operate it in time for a tra-
  ditional Christmas dinner (which the League is paying for, as well). The Germans intend to 
  stop the endeavor, so embarrassing the British government, who have already announced 
  the plan to the world.
  9) The Ancient Order of Druids holds that Merlin, King Arthur’s mentor, was a real 
  person. They intend to locate his resting place. The Order is divided as to whether or not 
  Merlin is dead or merely sleeping, but all believe he was imprisoned along with sacred

  texts. Many legends make reference to his enchanted 
  prison as glas tann. While some scholars have translated 
  this as “glass house,” the Druids believe it stems from the 
  Cornish for “sacred tree.” Thus, Merlin lies beneath or 
  inside a tree. Since the name of the town of Glastonbury 
  stems from this same phrase, they intend to commence 
  their search there. Antiquarians, historians, and linguis-
  tics are being invited to join the expedition.
  10) The natives of Flores Island, which lies east of 
  Java, have long told stories of a diminutive race that once 
  inhabited the island. Elders claim there has been no con-
  tact since the time of their grandfathers. All they know 
  for sure is that the other race stood a little over three feet 
  in height, spoke no known language, and lived in caves 
  deep in the interior. The Hollow Earth Society, which 
  hopes the small people are from the interior world, is 
  planning to finance an expedition with the goal of mak-
  ing peaceful contact.
  11) In 1075, Adam of Bremen made reference to Terra 
  feminarum (“Women’s Land”), which he placed vaguely 
  in northern Scandinavia. He gives little description of the 
  realm, saying only that it was a land of Amazons. The 
  Women’s Suffrage Society is sponsoring an expedition to 
  locate the fabled realm.
  12) After killing Abel, Cain (of Biblical infamy) fled to 
  the land of Nod, which lay east of Eden. Here his wife 
  gave birth to a son, Enoch, after whom the first city was 
  named. The Old Testament Society, Society of Antiquar-
  ians, and Sumeria Club are sponsoring rival expeditions 
  to locate the ruins of the antediluvian settlement.
  13) In 1637, Pierre de Fermat laid out his Last Theo-
  rem. While he claimed to have a simple proof, Fermat 
  stated in his Arithmetica it was too large too fit in the 
  margin. Proving the Last Theorem has kept mathemati-
  cians perplexed for over 250 years. Now, though, a solu-
  tion may be at hand. Rumors of a lost Fermat manuscript 
  have been circulating in France. Several Leagues are 
  searching for the source of the rumor—some for the 
  recognition, others to claim the reward offered by the 
  University of Brussels for a solution.
  14) Coal miners at a Yorkshire colliery are refusing 
  to venture underground after sightings of “reptile men” 
  and a number of cave-ins. The owners are calling on the 
  Leagues to investigate with all haste so coal production 
  can resume.
  15) The first written record of an Almas (Mongolian 
  for “wild man”) sighting occurred in 1430, when Hans 
  Schlitberger, a German traveler, was a captive of the 
  Mongols. Native to the Caucasus and Pamir Mountains, 
  they are described as being exceptionally hairy, with a 
  flat nose and pronounced brow ridges. According to a 
  recent story, a female Almas by the name of Zana lived in 
  a remote Russian village until her death in 1890. While 
  there she sired a number of children, four of which sur-
  vived past infancy. The Yeti Club is offering a reward to 
  any globetrotters visiting the region who acquire photo-
  graphic proof of their existence.
  16) Excavated in India, the French Blue diamond was 
  once the property of King Louis XIV of France. The size of 
  a pigeon’s egg, it was handed down through the French 
  royal family, eventually ending up in the possession of 
  King Louis XVI. In 1792, while Louis was under house ar-
  rest, the stone was stolen. Some historians claim the gem 
  resurfaced later in England, having been recut, and that 
  it became known to the world as the Hope Diamond (45 
  carats) in 1830. Others argue they were different stones, 
  and that the larger French Blue (115 carats) has never 
  been found.
  17) Beneath the parish church of Christ Church, 
  Barbados, lies the Chase family vault. During the early 
  18th century, the sealed vault was opened several times 
  to admit new coffins. Each time, the existing coffins, all 
  of which were made of lead, were found to have moved 
  position. The Ghost Club investigated the phenomena in 
  1888 and found no signs of supernatural activity. How-
  ever, the curious priest reopened the vault only last year. 
  Using ancient records, he discovered the coffins had 
  again changed position.
  18) The island of Chryse appears in several Greek 
  myths. According to 2nd century chroniclers, the Aegean 
  island, which boasted a magnificent temple to Apollo, 
  had sank beneath the waves at some point in the previ-
  ous centuries. The New Argonauts Club and Society of 
  Aquanauts are proposing a joint expedition to locate the 
  legendary island.
  19) A strange phenomenon occurs in America’s 
  Death Valley. Large stones, some weighing as much as 
  80 pounds, move along the valley floor without a source 
  of external propulsion. The stones move only every few 
  years, and leave behind a trail that can extend many hun-
  dreds of feet and several inches deep. More peculiarly, 
  the stones sometimes change direction or leave graceful 
  arcs rather than straight lines.
  20) In Chinese mythology, Penglai Island was a para-
  dise of untold riches. Gems grew on trees, the palaces 
  were made of precious metals, bowls and cups were 
  never empty, no matter the appetite of the diners, and 
  there was no disease or suffering. There also grew fruits 
  that healed any ailment, bestowed eternal youth, and 
  could even raise the dead when properly prepared.
  The first Chinese Emperor, Qin Shi Huang, searched 
  without success for the island as part of his quest to ob-
  tain the elixir of life. The Immortals Club, desperate to 
  achieve its goal, is prepared to fund an expedition.
  21) According to Greek myth, the great musician and 
  poet Orpheus was buried in the city of Libethra, which 
  lay in the vicinity of Mount Olympus. The city was sup-
  posedly washed away during a terrible flood, when the 
  River Sys burst its banks. The New Argonaut Club looks to 
  investigate the tale, and perhaps find the bard’s bones.
  22) While the world has read of the Lidenbrock 
  expedition’s successful venture into the bowels of the 
  earth thanks to the account published by Jules Verne, 
  not everyone believes Snaefell, the volcano through 
  which the trio of brave explorers gained access to the 
  underworld realm, is actually in Iceland. A small few 
  would-be explorers believe the name refers to the low 
  mountain on the Isle of Man (in the Irish Sea), and that 
  leagues of adventure
  
  
  Verne changed its location to protect the true route. The 
  globetrotters are so convinced they are currently seeking 
  both members and funds for an expedition.
  Investigation of the peak reveals a flat stone slab bur-
  ied beneath the grass. Below it lies a narrow natural fis-
  sure. On the underside of the slab is engraved the initials 
  “A.S.” Is the stone a fake, part of an elaborate scam to 
  con sponsors from their money, or is there truth to the 
  wild claims?
  23) While walking along a beach, one of the globetrot-
  ter discovers a message in a bottle. The note merely lists 
  a set of coordinates. Checking them on a globe indicates 
  a remote point in a distant ocean. The message might be 
  a practical joke, thrown overboard by a passing ship, but 
  is that is so, why are sinister parties so keen to acquire 
  the coordinates?
  24) Trouble is brewing in Europe! Three warships, 
  one belonging to each of the British, French, and Ger-
  man fleets, have disappeared without a trace off the East 
  African coast. In every case there has been a distinct ab-
  sence of wreckage and bodies. Each nation is blames the 
  other. Are the losses unfortunate accidents, or is there a 
  more sinister force at work?
  25) While most members of the Curry Club prefer 
  flavor over heat, there are those who strive to eat the 
  hottest possible dish. The Club is offering a prize for the 
  globetrotter who returns the hottest chili pepper.
  26) Thomas Tapling, English businessman, politician, 
  cricketer, and chairman of the Philatelic Society dies in 
  1891. He bequeaths his extensive stamp collection to the 
  British Museum Library, prompting the trustees to found 
  the British Museum Library Philatelic Collections. The 
  museum and the Philatelic Society is asking globetrotters 
  venturing overseas to bring back stamps. As an added 
  incentive, whoever collects the most unique stamps will 
  be honored with a bust and special medal.
  27) The authorities in Algeria have not taken nomad 
  reports of a 120-foot long snake living in the desert seri-
  ously. Fortunately, there are Leagues keen to investigate 
  such claims.
  28) Talk of an “African unicorn” is rife among the 
  European colonies in Central Africa. The great explorer 
  Henry Stanley made mention of the beast, which the 
  natives called the “Atti,” during his exploration of the 
  Congo. The Menagerie Club is prepared to sponsor an 
  expedition to bring back a live specimen. (Historically, 
  the “African unicorn” was the okapi, a living fossil, which 
  Europeans first documented in 1901).
  29) A few days ago, an aristocrat went into his bank 
  to withdraw a valuable necklace (a gift from the Tsar of 
  Russia) from the vault. Needless to say, he was somewhat 
  shocked when the clerk declared he had walked into the 
  bank and withdrawn it the day before. The police have 
  been unable to find any evidence of wrongdoing, so the 
  aristocrat has turned to the Leagues or help.
  30) Since the start of the century, numerous excava-
  tions and restoration work has been carried out on the 
  Colosseum in Rome. In 1891, to mark three decades of 
  the Kingdom of Italy, King Umberto I declares a spectacu-
  lar gala is to be held in the Colosseum. Sporting societies 
  from across Europe are invited to participate in a series 
  of non-lethal games, such as boxing, wrestling, horse 
  racing, and fencing. The arrival of foreign dignitaries is a 
  great chance for anarchists to make their presence felt, 
  and there is sure to be a certain amount of cheating.
  31) While overseas, the globetrotters are invited to at-
  tend a party hosted by a high ranking British dignitary. An 
  anonymous well-wisher sends a deadly present—a bomb 
  concealed inside a bust of Queen Victoria. Whether or 
  not the dignitary survives the assassination attempt, the 
  globetrotters are called upon to track down the master-
  mind behind the plot and bring him to justice.
  32) A Russian weird scientist asks the globetrotters 
  to smuggle him, his daughter, and his latest design out 
  of the country to Great Britain. The Russian authorities 
  have learned of his plans and intend to thwart the de-
  fection. Just to make things trickier, the Germans have 
  learned of his intentions, and hope to “persuade” him 
  to join their cause. A storm grounds all zeppelins in and 
  out of Moscow for several days, forcing the group to flee 
  overland. The authorities always seem to know where 
  the party is, prompting the possibility that his daughter 
  is actually a spy.
  33) Two bitter rivals in the Dueling Club are sponsor-
  ing expeditions to locate and retrieve the Sword of Attila 
  the Hun, which was supposedly given him by the god, 
  Mars. According to the chroniclers of the age, the warlord 
  was buried in a triple coffin (iron, then silver, then gold) 
  along with his most precious items. Unfortunately, the 
  location of his tomb was kept secret. All that is known is 
  his men diverted a river to cover the tomb.
  34) Several years ago, antiquarians uncovered a bro-
  ken Viking runestone on the Orkney Islands. Recently, 
  fishermen shipwrecked on Sable Island (Canada) un-
  earthed a second broken stone. Together, they form a 
  complete tablet providing clues to the final resting place 
  of Leif Erickson. The runes imply Erickson was buried 
  beyond the Northwest Passage, a route as yet undiscov-
  ered by modern mariners. The Mariners Club and Society 
  of Antiquarians propose a joint expedition to follow the 
  trail through the deadly ice.
  35) While on a trip to southern Russia in 1892, the 
  globetrotters are approached by a young man calling 
  himself Sidney Reilly. He is in trouble with the authori-
  ties, and has a plan to fake his own death and escape. 
  He needs the group’s help with this. There is a British 
  registered ship about to sail for South America from 
  Odessa (on the Black Sea coast). Can they get everyone 
  out in time?
  36) An aged mathematician, inventor, and member of 
  the Lunar Exploration Society on his death bed challenges 
  the young minds of the day to produce and demonstrate 
  a method of launching a manned vehicle into a trajectory 
  to circumnavigate the globe. The craft must be capable 
  of landing safely, so the crew are able to tell the tale of 
  what they saw. The prize? His estate. His own offspring 
  are too thickheaded to deserve it. Of course, they intend 
  to sabotage any efforts to claim their inheritance.

  37) While tracking down rumors of the Yeti in Tibet, 
  the party gets caught in a freak blizzard. They are saved 
  by a group of “small people with elongated heads” and 
  large, black eyes. The strange people seem to be some 
  forgotten tribe whose language and hieroglyphic like 
  writing is unknown to any member of the party. The only 
  artifacts these people seem to have are a large collection 
  of stone disks with their strange writing on them. The 
  text is extremely small and written in concentric circles. 
  The globetrotters will not be allowed to remove any of 
  these disks from the village/cave. Should they try to re-
  turn, they are unable to find the location again. If they 
  inquire at other villages in the area the only reference 
  they are able to find is the name “dropa.”
  38) The Alpine Club and Royal Geographical Society 
  seek volunteers to take part in a daring and audacious 
  venture—to spend the entire winter on mainland Ant-
  arctica. (Historically, the British Antarctic Expedition first 
  achieved this in 1898-1900.)
  39) A expedition has failed to return from Antarctica, 
  and a hurried rescue mission is being launched. When 
  the globetrotters finally find the camp they discover it 
  demolished as if by some terrible wind. Several frozen 
  corpses show large bite marks, but Antarctica has no 
  large predators. Of the other members, there is no sign. 
  What caused the camp’s demise, what ate the explorers, 
  and where the survivors have gone are mysteries the 
  globetrotters must solve.
  40) Louis IX of France, crusader and later saint, was 
  captured by the Egyptians in 1250. His mother, Blanche 
  of Castille, assembled a huge ransom to secure his re-
  lease. The excess she buried in preparation for her son’s 
  eventual return. After her death in 1252, its location was 
  lost (Louis returned to France in 1254, after continuing 
  his Crusading activities). A French treasure hunter has 
  unearthed documents that hint the haul, which his docu-
  ments say exceeds 28 million gold coins, is hidden in the 
  foothills of the French Pyrenees.
  41) In 1889, the Italian suddenly closed the penal 
  colony on the island of Montecristo and awarded owner-
  ship to Marquis Carlo Ginori, who promptly transformed 
  it into a private hunting ground. He also began a series 
  of excavations. Word has reached the Leagues that the 
  Italian king believes the immense treasure of Turgut 
  Reis, an infamous 16th century Turkish pirate and admi-
  ral, is buried on the island. Plans are made to recover the 
  treasure before it falls into Italian hands.
  42) An obscure legend tells that Alexander the Great 
  planned to invade Meroë, but was turned back by the 
  immense army of Queen Candace. No serious scholar 
  has taken the legend seriously. However, a recent find in 
  Meroë, an engraved obelisk, makes mention to a battle 
  between the queen and an “invader who thought himself 
  a god.” Plans are afoot to locate the battlefield.
  43) Farmers in Peru recently unearthed a number of 
  polished stones. Dubbed the Ica Stones, after the prov-
  ince in which they were found, they are engraved with 
  images of primitive hunters attacking what appear to be 
  dinosaurs, and strange lines that may be a form of map. 
  The Challenger Club proposes an expedition to study 
  the stones, and then search for evidence of living dino-
  saurs in the Andes.
  44) The globetrotters are invited to attend a lecture 
  given by a prospector. The old timer shows the audience 
  a blurry photograph that appears to show a serpent-
  necked ship with round shields adorning the sides. It 
  looks very much like a Viking longship. The strange thing 
  is, the prospector claims the photograph was taken in 
  the region of Mexicali, a city that lies on the Mexico/Cali-
  fornia border. He is prepared to sell the exact location, 
  but his information does not come cheaply.
  45) The ancient chronicler Herodotus tells that King 
  Cambyses II of Persia despatched an army of 50,000 sol-
  diers to capture of the famous Oracle of Siwa. Deep in 
  the desert, a sandstorm rose out of nowhere, burying 
  the entire army. Stories are circulating out of Cairo that 
  Bedouins discovered a small rock cave in which were 
  several mummified bodies dressed in ancient armor. The 
  race is on to find the nomads before they disappear back 
  into the interior of the Sahara.
  46) While perusing a library for other information, 
  a globetrotter comes across a letter written in 1542 by 
  Jean Allefonsce, a French navigator. In it he tells how 
  he sailed up a mighty river south of Newfoundland to 
  the land of Norumbega. The natives, he claims, dressed 
  in furs, spoke a language that sounded like Latin, and 
  worshipped the sun. In his opinion, the natives were the 
  descendants of Norsemen (i.e. Vikings).
  47) Hilaire de Barenton (1864-1946), a Capuchin friar 
  and junior member of the Sumeria Club, holds that the 
  story of the Tower of Babel is based on truth. Though he 
  dismisses the Bible story as written, he theorizes that all 
  languages stem from Sumerian. He is seeking sponsors, 
  and fellow expedition members, so he can document all 
  of the world’s languages in a bid to prove his idea. Such 
  a quest would take in every country of the world, require 
  historical research, and last many years.
  48) Partial messages, sealed tightly against the ele-
  ments and the passage of time, get delivered via various 
  financial and legal firms with instructions to present 
  them on certain dates. All the fragments are part of a 
  larger message, but are encoded. In some cases, these 
  notes have been held in trust for decades.
  49) While visiting the islands of Hawaii In the summer 
  of 1893 the heroes are caught up in the government’s 
  attempt to evict a leper colony from the Kalalau Valley on 
  the island of Kaua’i. Will the globetrotters be able to me-
  diate some kind of solution or will the deadly skirmishes 
  lead to an all-out massacre? 
  50) The globetrotters are invited by Herman Hollerith, 
  an American inventor, to observe his “Electric Tabulating 
  System.” The device is being used to tabulate the 1890 
  U.S. census. Who knows how many rival scientists, com-
  panies, or governments might want to steal or destroy 
  this amazing new device, or to what other uses it may 
  be applied? 
  51) Word has reached the adventurers that two cow-
  boys around have killed a ‘Thunderbird’ of Native Ameri-
  leagues of adventure
  
  
  can legend near Tombstone, Arizona. The creature is 
  described as a cross between a bat and an alligator. With 
  its 40 foot wing span and featherless body, is it possible 
  that some kind of flying dinosaur still hunts the skies of 
  the American west?
  52) Between 1878 and 1879, the Great Amherst Mys-
  tery and the torments of Esther Cox’s “true ghost story” 
  made its way round the world. In 1888, a popular book 
  sparked new investigations and stronger public interest. 
  The chilling words, “Esther Cox, you are mine to kill!” 
  haunt the dreams of young ladies of good breeding the 
  world over. Now an expert seeks to debunk the tale 
  once and for all. He requires the services of well-traveled 
  anthropologists, doctors, and specialists in mechanical 
  and electrical engineering to assist him. Cox now lives 
  quietly in Brockton, Massachusetts. 
  53) The owner of a shipping line has recently filed 
  three claims for damage caused by sea monster attacks 
  in the same stretch of water. Lloyds of London, the in-
  surance company, is rightfully skeptical, and refuses to 
  pay out without firm evidence. The magnate turns to the 
  Leagues for help. Is a sea monster really to blame, are his 
  captains incompetent, is this part of an insurance scam, 
  or is some other entity (such as submersible) responsible 
  for the attacks?
  54) In 1893, Winfield Scott Lovecraft suddenly be-
  came psychotic while in a Chicago hotel. He has since 
  been placed in Butler Hospital (Providence, Rhode Is-
  land). His wife, Sarah Susan Phillips Lovecraft, believes 
  he witnessed something that cost him his mind. For the 
  sake of their young son, Howard (b. 1890), who has 
  recently claimed to have been haunted in his sleep by 
  “night gaunts,” she begs the Leagues to investigate.
  55) Between 1896 and 1897, American newspapers 
  report numerous sightings of cigar-shaped mystery air-
  ships. In April, 1897, the Dallas Morning News reports 
  one of the strange craft crashed near Aurora, Texas. Its 
  sole occupant is reported as being “not of this world” 
  By the time the news reaches the Leagues in Europe the 
  pilot has been buried and the wreckage dumped in a 
  well. Before it is destroyed forever, the Leagues intend 
  to investigate. Have the Martians launched a new attack? 
  Could one of Robur’s flying machines resurfaced?
  56) A priceless gem (“the Star of Egypt”) has disap-
  peared from the Bank of England’s most secure vault. 
  The time-locked vault was not been opened by nefarious 
  means, nor were any alarms tripped (the deposit box was 
  found open by a clerk). Scotland Yard are flummoxed, 
  and have turned to the Leagues for help in solving the 
  impossible crime.
  57) In 1615, Juan de Iturbe, a Spanish explorer, sailed 
  up the Gulf of Mexico. A freak tidal bore carried his cara-
  vel into Lake Cahuilla, a shallow body of water that has 
  since completely dried out. With no chance of sailing 
  away, the Spanish abandoned their stricken vessel and 
  headed into the desert on foot. They left behind their 
  ship’s cargo—a fortune in black pearls. The story has 
  long been though a myth, but the chance discovery of de 
  Iturbe’s journal has given the Leagues new hope.
  58) While journeying by sea, the globetrotters ship 
  comes across a vast “raft” of volcanic rocks floating on 
  the surface of the ocean. Near the center is what appears 
  to be a colossal statue. The source of the rocks may never 
  be discovered, but the statue must be salvaged before 
  the unstable “raft” breaks up and it is lost forever.
  59) Joseph Vacher (1869-1898), dubbed “the French 
  Ripper” and perpetrator of particularly vile crimes, is 
  executed by guillotine in 1898. A year later, a spate of 
  similar crimes has France terrorized. Eyewitnesses report 
  seeing a man who matched Vacher’s distinctive appear-
  ance (his face is heavily scarred after a failed suicide at-
  tempt in 1893) fleeing the scene of the crime.
  60) The globetrotters are discretely invited to attend 
  a senior government official. An important diplomat 
  serving overseas has quite literally disappeared, creating 
  something of a diplomatic row and accusations of foul 
  play. He exited his carriage with his aide and walked up 
  the steps to the palace where a foreign ruler was hosting 
  a social function. His aide opened the doors and turned 
  to gesture his superior through, only to discover the 
  man who was alongside him not a moment earlier had 
  disappeared. The courtyard was otherwise empty (and 
  too large to cross in so short a space of time), and had 
  no possible hiding places.
  61) As the year ends, reports begin reaching the 
  Leagues that a Swedish attempt to reach the North Pole 
  by hot air balloon has vanished. The Royal Swedish Acad-
  emy of Sciences refuses all offers of aid in searching for 
  the expedition. Is this simply a case of avoiding national 
  embarrassment, or was the expedition searching for 
  something specific, something the Swedes would rather 
  keep secret from the rest of the world?
  62) A spate of suicides among leading weird scientists 
  across the globe has the Leagues concerned. Foul play 
  is suspected, especially given they have died in a strict 
  alphabetical order of surname, but the various police 
  forces can prove nothing. Volunteers are being sought to 
  safeguard the next likely “victim.”
  63) A leading Swedish scholar believes the Vikings 
  reached the Black Sea by sailing along Russia’s river net-
  work, and hauling boats overland between rivers when 
  necessary. He has recreated a Viking longship, and is 
  looking for volunteers to prove his theory by sailing from 
  Stockholm to Istanbul via this route.
  64) While visiting the northern Japanese island of Hok-
  kaido the adventures are allowed to attend a Kumamat-
  suri (“bear festival”) being performed by the indigenous 
  Ainu people. The ritual is designed to “release” one of 
  their gods, who came to earth in the disguise of a young 
  bear cub, so he can return to the world of the gods. Even 
  these peaceful agrarian people are understandably upset 
  when the globetrotters are deemed responsible for let-
  ting the bear escape into the wild. Can the globetrotters 
  recover this special animal safely before the Ainu decide 
  to send them to the afterlife? 
  65) Swedish antiquarians conducting an excavation of 
  Eadglis’ mound at Uppsala, Sweden, in 1874 unearthed 
  a runestone mentioning the famous hero Beowulf by 
  Globetrotters’ Guide to 101 Adventure Seeds
  
  
  name. The government is now offering a reward for any 
  antiquarian who can locate and excavate Beowulf’s bar-
  row. A Swedish nationalist occult group with leanings 
  toward black magic intend to steal any earthly remains, 
  in the hope of resurrecting the long-dead hero.
  66) Even today, the Kyzyl Kum desert in Central Asia is 
  regarded as being impassable due to scorching tempera-
  tures and a lack of known oases. Despite these obstacles, 
  Genghis Khan marched an army of 50,000 men into the 
  wastes before attacking the city of Bukhara. The Royal 
  Geographic Society is offering a reward to any explorers 
  who can retrace his route. Expeditions must also photo-
  graph and document the local flora and fauna.
  67) In 1875, Louis Jacolliot, a French judge, author, 
  and occultist, wrote about a sunken land called Rutas. 
  Confusingly, he at first placed this in the Indian Ocean, 
  only to late transpose it to the Pacific. He claimed to have 
  learned of the realm in a Sanskrit text, the title of which 
  he never made public. After his death in 1890, his will 
  stipulated that the Sanskrit text, Agrouchada-Parikchai, 
  be sold at auction. That day has now dawned, and the 
  Leagues are queuing up to bid on it in the hope of dis-
  covering more about the lost realm.
  68) In the mid-19th century, New York City was terror-
  ized by Ludwig the Bloodsucker. Described as a “squat, 
  swarthy German, with an enormous head crowned with 
  a shock of bristly black hair,” he dined upon drunks, ap-
  parently quaffing their blood as if it were wine. Decades 
  since the last reported sighting, carousers in New York 
  are once again being preyed upon by a bloodsucker. 
  While the people talk of vampires, the mayor claims it 
  is “just” a madman. He turns to the Leagues to prove his 
  claim and calm the population, lest civil unrest ensue.
  69) Louis Henri Boussenard (1847-1910), an adven-
  ture novel writer dubbed the French H. R. Haggard, has 
  admitted that his story Three French perilous adventures 
  in the Land of Diamonds (published 1884), which con-
  cerns French explorers finding a mysterious cavern be-
  neath Victoria Falls (Africa) is based on a true expedition. 
  He refuses to speak further, but is quite willing to show 
  curious globetrotters a huge diamond, his payment for 
  fictionalizing the adventure.
  70) Shortly before Alexandre Dumas’ death, his novel 
  The Knight of Sainte-Hermine was being published in 
  serial form. The unpublished chapters were not found 
  among Dumas’ possessions after his death in 1870, 
  but correspondence indicates it was finished. Both the 
  British Museum Library and Bibliothèque Nationale de 
  France are offering a reward for the discovery of the 
  original manuscript, on the condition it is added to their 
  collections.
  71) A British naval officer contacts the globetrotters, 
  telling them that he wishes to meet to discuss new evi-
  dence he has unearthed regarding the ill-fated Franklin 
  Expedition. He adds only that they were not really 
  searching for the Northwest Passage. The officer fails to 
  attend the meeting. On investigating, they discover the 
  Admiralty has no record of an officer by that name. Was 
  the request a hoax, or there is a conspiracy afoot?
  72) A story in the Australian newspapers has got the 
  Leagues preparing to travel to the other side of the world. 
  According to eyewitnesses, a sailing ship of “ancient de-
  sign” was spied lying on rocks after a fierce storm. Dur-
  ing a lull in the storm, a local fisherman rowed out and 
  boarded her, only to abandon ship as the storm grew 
  more intense. He recovered a handful of gold coins, and 
  that the hold was filled with dozens of chests. Australian 
  numismatists have confirmed the coins are Portuguese, 
  and date to the 15th century. Unfortunately, the ship was 
  carried back out to sea by the storm and has not been 
  seen since.
  73) Snagov monastery, the burial place of Vlad III 
  Dracula (a.k.a Vlad the Impaler), once boasted a treasure 
  vault. It disappeared sometime between 1462 and 1476. 
  While many scholars believe it was plundered by the 
  Turks, a Romanian historian has unearthed evidence it 
  was buried to prevent it falling into Turkish hands. He 
  requires help in locating the treasure. Among the arti-
  facts is the so-called Chalice of Blood, from which (some 
  occultists believe) Dracula drank in order to become a 
  vampire. A fanatical cult of blood drinkers is also search-
  ing for it. In a Gothic Horror campaign, they might be 
  actual vampires seeking to protect the Chalice, or blood 
  cultists who wish to become actual vampires.
  74) There are global powers who have taken affront 
  to Japan’s recent and rapid industrialization and its bel-
  ligerent nature. Some have set in motion plans to shame 
  the Emperor. According to tradition, each emperor was 
  ascends the throne is presented with the Imperial Rega-
  lia of Japan. Among these is Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi (“Grass 
  Cutting Sword”). Legend says the sword was lost at sea in 
  1185 somewhere off the southern tip of Honshu (Japan’s 
  largest island), and that the current sword is a replica. 
  The Japanese government refutes this, claiming the rep-
  lica was stolen. The sword (real or otherwise) used in 
  coronations rests with the monks at the Atsuta Shrine, 
  where it is kept away from all gaze. This makes it impos-
  sible to deduce if the sword is the real one or a fake.
  A government or faction opposed to the emperor de-
  sires photographs of the sword. If it proves to be a fake, 
  they are prepared to sponsor an underwater expedition 
  to recover the original and use it as leverage to weaken 
  the emperor. Once the Japanese get wind of the venture 
  through their spies, they are prepared to take any mea-
  sure to thwart the plans.
  75) Down the millennia there have been many lost 
  works of art and manuscripts. That they existed is not 
  in question, for the sources are impeccable, but their 
  whereabouts remains a mystery. Wikipedia has an ex-
  tensive list under “Lost artworks” and “Lost work.” An 
  expedition to recover any of these would make a fine 
  adventure, and give globetrotters who have invested in 
  Art a chance to shine.
  76) In 1897, Mark Twain responded to newspaper 
  reports regarding his death with the words, “The report 
  of my death was an exaggeration.” Why, then, is there 
  a body in a New York City mortuary that is the spitting 
  image of Twain?
  leagues of adventure
  
  
  77) While The Count of Monte Cristo is regarded as a 
  fine piece of fiction, the discovery of a letter written to 
  Alexandre Dumas makes mention of a fabulous treasure 
  uncovered on a remote island by a shipwrecked English 
  nobleman. Whether or not Dumas based his story on the 
  missive is irrelevant to the Leagues—there is treasure 
  to be found! Unfortunately, the letter does not provide 
  navigational directions. It is signed Lord Wilmore.
  78) A crime novelist seeks out the globetrotters. 
  Someone is recreating the murders in his books, and he 
  is receiving bad press as a result. Some people are even 
  accusing him of committing the crimes to boost sales. 
  More perplexing is that the latest crime he penned has 
  just been committed for real, and he hasn’t even handed 
  the manuscript to his literary agent.
  79) While exploring an Egyptian tomb, the globetrot-
  ters discover what appear to be the original architectural 
  plans for the Great Pyramid. While the papyrus is a valu-
  able find by itself, what it shows is of more interest to the 
  Leagues—a second entrance, one as yet undiscovered, 
  that leads to previously unknown chambers.
  80) A large chunk of moon rock has struck the Earth 
  somewhere in the Amazon jungle. Keen to gain a sample 
  for analysis, the Lunar Exploration Society is organizing 
  an expedition. By the time the globetrotters arrive on 
  the scene, the stone has been hauled away by a degen-
  erate tribe of hostile natives. They believe the rock is a 
  gift from their lunar deity, and they won’t take kindly to 
  strangers trying to steal it.
  81) Conflicting reports in minor and major newspa-
  pers, most weeks out of date, relate a strange tale avowed 
  true by eyewitnesses. A ship thought lost decades before 
  put into a French port scarcely afloat, with a sole occu-
  pant aboard. The man calmly escaped the sinking ship 
  and is reputed to have worked miracles and delivered 
  palpable blessings before disappearing in the throngs 
  of the marketplace. The ship, a veritable wreck, sank as 
  it delivered its blessed cargo. The so-called “holy man” 
  who disembarked walked off through the town and his 
  whereabouts were soon lost.
  82) Yet another failed expedition to cross the North 
  Pole has come back with a very familiar tale of ice and 
  equipment failure. The members are trying desperately 
  to keep the lid on a very curious discovery they made 
  while wandering in a blinding storm. While sheltering 
  near a rock formation they found a strange reddish 
  metal deposit which, when exposed to the heat of their 
  tiny fire, displayed curious properties which may solve 
  weight problems for heavier than air craft if they can find 
  the deposit again.
  83) Various Leagues have been sent three cipertexts, 
  collectively known as the Beale ciphers by person or per-
  sons unknown. According to the cover, which is in plain 
  English, they were written in 1820. Once deciphered, 
  the text states that a vast fortune in gold, silver, and 
  jewels was buried in Virginia by one Thomas Jefferson 
  Beale. Directions to the site are vague, but can be deci-
  phered by an observer on the ground given a little time 
  and exploration. The race is on to decipher the complex 
  ciphers and retrieve the treasure...assuming it actually 
  exists, of course.
  84) In 1622, the Spanish treasure ship Nuestra Se-
  ñora de Atocha and her escort fleet sank off the coast 
  of Florida. In its hold was a fortune in precious metal, 
  gems, jewelry, and indigo. Such was its value that the 
  Spanish authorities in Cuba immediately despatched a 
  fleet to salvage her. Although they recovered the treasure 
  from another vessel lost at the same time, the Santa Mar-
  garita, they never located the wreck of the Atocha.
  Several modern expeditions have searched for the 
  ship, but all failed to produce a scrap of evidence. A fish-
  ing vessel recently returned to port with a pair of silver 
  spoons in its net. Are these part of the lost treasure?
  85) A wealthy patron requires assistance in bringing 
  his wayward son home from his “grand tour” of ancient 
  sites across Europe. The son is an aspiring painter but 
  with a taste for laudanum. When the heroes catch up 
  with him however, they find him dead in a rented studio. 
  His painted self portraits are scattered across the floor, 
  eerily depicting the circumstances of his death and also 
  the identity his killer, who is known to the heroes.
  86) The boredom of a long ocean journey is broken 
  when the lookout (or a globetrotter) spies a small ship’s 
  boat on the water. Aboard is a single occupant. Incoher-
  ent and hysterical, he keeps murmuring, “Something 
  came from the sea!” The vessel has a name painted on 
  the side—Madagascar. Every mariner knows that ship 
  name well, for its disappearance in 1853 while sailing 
  from Melbourne, Australia, to London is one of the great 
  nautical mysteries. A three-masted sailing ship, she van-
  ished with 60 crew and 110 passengers aboard, and two 
  tons of gold in her hold.
  87) A globetrotter receives an anonymous letter 
  containing nothing but a short riddle in an obscure lan-
  guage. Solving the riddle leads to a location somewhere 
  on the planet (GM’s choice), whereupon another riddle 
  is found. This process repeats several time, before the 
  heroes discover whatever lies at the end of the trail.
  88) The globetrotters waken in a dark cell with no 
  memory of how they got there. Only by escaping their 
  captivity can they begin to investigate what fate befell 
  them, and why they cannot remember the events.
  89) The globetrotters are summoned to the Broad-
  moor Criminal Lunatic Asylum. There they meet with the 
  Lord Chief Justice, the head of the British judiciary. Amid 
  great secrecy they are told that an inventor created a ma-
  chine that could literally remove the evil from a person’s 
  mind. The device was being used to “cure” the country’s 
  most depraved and insane criminals. The evil it removed 
  took the form of a black, viscous liquid. Just yesterday, 
  the container in which it was kept has been stolen from 
  the asylum. If injected into someone, the concentrated 
  essence of evil would turn them psychotic. The essence 
  must be returned at all costs.
  90) Farmers have reported the sudden appearance of 
  geometric shapes in their crop field. Some of these so-
  called “crop circles” are indeed simple circles, but oth-
  ers are extremely elaborate geometric design. The truly 
  Globetrotters’ Guide to 101 Adventure Seeds
  
  
  strange part is that no matter how large or complex the 
  design, the “circles” are completed in a single night.
  91) Several months after the fact, a whaling ship docks 
  in London carrying news from a whaling station on one 
  of the South Shetland Islands (in the Antarctic Circle). 
  While exploring the frozen interior in search of seals, the 
  station crew discovered a figure frozen in the ice. The 
  whaling ship’s schedule meant it could not wait around, 
  and the last the captain knows the figure was to be cut 
  out of its icy prison and the ice melted to its nature could 
  be determined.
  92) The Biblical Book of Numbers makes passing ref-
  erence to the Books of the Wars of the Lord. No copy of 
  it (whole or as a fragment) has ever been found. The Old 
  Testament Society plans to search for it in the Biblical 
  region of Arnon, which is believed to lie in the Ottoman 
  territory of Transjordan (modern Jordan). Linguists, ex-
  plorers, and antiquarians are being recruited.
  93) The first accepted report of Spring-heeled Jack 
  dates from 1837, and the last confirmed sighting from 
  1888. Throughout his reign of terror he was slowly work-
  ing his way north. Now there are reports he has been 
  sighted in Edinburgh. The newspapers, as previously, 
  report him variously as having red glow eyes, clawed 
  hands, and even horns, not to mention breathing blue 
  and white flames. The only fact they agree on is his pres-
  tigious leaping ability. Be it a devil possessed of super-
  natural powers or a man utilizing weird science, there 
  is growing panic on the streets, and the authorities want 
  the culprit brought to justice forthwith.
  94) A tidal wave recently struck the region of Mahab-
  alipuram, on the east coast of India. Though the inunda-
  tion caused little damage, the lead up caused much won-
  derment. The locals have always claimed that the Shore 
  Temple (so named for its location) is the 7th temple to 
  hold that name. The earlier structures stood on land that 
  is now beneath the sea. Until now, this has widely been 
  regarded as a myth. Eyewitnesses claim that as the sea 
  withdrew before the wave struck, the old temples, still 
  intact, were revealed for several minutes before once 
  again being drowned.
  95) The 1883 eruption of Krakatoa killed over 36,000 
  people (some estimates are as high as 120,000), most by 
  the resultant tidal wave. A weird scientist believes he has 
  created a device that if dropped into a volcano close to 
  erupting will cause it to quieten, delaying, if not cancel-
  ling, the explosion. Such a device would undoubtedly 
  save many lives. He is looking for volunteers to scale a 
  very active volcano on one of the remote Pacific islands 
  and test his theory.
  96) The tale of The City of Brass is documented in 
  the Arabian Nights (European translations have been 
  in circulation since 1704). A globetrotter inherits, pur-
  chases, or otherwise acquires a copy. Inside he finds a 
  fragment of a manuscript written in Arabic. It details an 
  actual expedition which claims to have located the city, 
  but was prevented from entering it by a sandstorm. The 
  author’s description of the journey is vague, but may 
  allow another expedition to follow in his tracks. Is the 
  manuscript a genuine account, or is it merely an early 
  draft of the story?
  97) An astronomer believes that every 3,600 years the 
  planet Nibiru passes close enough to Earth to allow its 
  inhabitants to make contact. Its last visit coincided with 
  the demise of the Indus Valley Civilization and the start 
  of metalworking in China. The next pass is due very 
  soon. The astronomer is seeking support to construct a 
  space ship and volunteers to be the first humans to set 
  foot on the alien world.
  98) In response to a crippling drought abroad, several 
  Leagues and enterprising inventors answer a challenge 
  to “make it rain.” Hopeful rain-makers and rain machine 
  developers flock to the arid fields to compete for the 
  prize. Sabotage, disappearances, and murder follow. Is 
  some agency causing the drought for personal, political, 
  or economic gain?
  99) A number of Egyptologists connected with a recent 
  excavation have died under mysterious circumstances. 
  The newspapers are talking of a curse. The killer is in fact 
  a member of a fanatical sect. The question is, why is he 
  so desperate to kill the scholars, and is the mummy the 
  expedition brought back, unusual for its black bandages, 
  somehow connected to his murderous rampage?
  100) One of the globetrotters becomes a social pariah 
  through no fault of his name. His friends shun him, clubs 
  make excuses as to why he cannot enter, he is no longer 
  invited to social functions, and even the newspapers 
  have started to besmirch his name. Who is behind the 
  churlish act, and what do they have against the hero?
  101) A large airship of German registry drifts over 
  London, seemingly without guidance. Investigators able 
  and brave enough to catch and board her discover no 
  one aboard, but report everything is operational...even 
  the coffee on the chart table is hot. Strangely, the charts 
  and course are for a Caribbean route.
  Artifact Names
  Artifacts are legendary objects, often said to possess 
  awesome powers or a fantastic (usually mythological) 
  origin, and more rarely places. With that in mind, they 
  need a flavorsome name. Typically, names take the 
  form of “X of (the) Y,” where X is the object and Y the 
  supposed owner or creator, or another element, such 
  as “Light” or “Moon,” that helps define the artifact. Of 
  course, X and Y can be put into any order you want. So 
  while you might have The Sword of Osiris as the focus of 
  the quest, you might prefer to have the heroes hunt for 
  The Philosopher’s Mirror.
  If you’re short of time or just need a nudge to get your 
  creative juices flowing, we’ve created two lists. Just pick 
  an element from each list or, if you prefer a random ap-
  proach, draw two cards from a standard deck (ignoring 
  Jokers), and combine them. The random card method 
  generates over 2700 combinations (and many hundreds 
  more if you include all the variant options), and not all of 
  •               •
  leagues of adventure
  
  
  them are guaranteed to work well together. If you come 
  up with a combination that doesn’t make much sense, 
  or if you just don’t like the mix, feel free to draw one or 
  more replacement cards. The system can be used equally 
  well in any genre with minimal work.
  Although only two cards or picks are required to cre-
  ate an artifact’s name, GMs may wish to add a descrip-
  tive word to the object. Such words might be colors or 
  shapes, adjectives like glittering, golden, pale, or resplen-
  dent, descriptors like blessed, cursed, or holy, and so on. 
  This isn’t required, but it can add an extra dimension to 
  the artifact. After all, chasing after The Golden Idol of 
  the Monkey God sounds more exciting than hunting the 
  perfunctory Idol of the Monkey God.
  Note that this is only the starting point. The Game-
  master still needs to a create a basic history for the object 
  at the heart of the treasure hunt, and naturally he has to 
  determine where it is located. The exact description of 
  an artifact is also left to the GM to devise. A sword might 
  look rather plain (in the same way the Holy Grail from the 
  Indiana Jones movie was a wooden cup), but it equally 
  be jewelled, engraved with writing along the blade, or 
  made of some metal known only to the ancients.

  The second card relates to the supposed owner or 
  creator of the relic or, in some cases, is a descriptive 
  element. Usually this descriptive term indicates its sup-
  posed (or actual) powers or purpose.
  Entries marked with a number in parentheses require 
  you to pick a unique name. This might be an historical 
  or mythological person, a creature, a deity from a pan-
  theon, or such like. If you don’t know any off the top of 
  your head, a little research on the internet will quickly 
  produce dozens of options for each general category. To 
  help get you started, we’ve included a handful of ideas.
