I have a campaign I'm running involving an alternate version of our world set in 1911 during a gold rush in Northern British Columbia. It also involves hunting, trapping, taming, training and battling Pokemon but with the twist of, that isn't the end all, be all, of the game. That stuff is all set up and solid. Essentially the campaign is Oregon Trail with Pokemon, varies by session from Saturday morning cartoon to grim dark reality.
My main challenge right now is though I had the sparking idea and setting I would like to brainstorm some ideas for a list of more mundane challenges, problems, disasters, obstacles, and what have you that would occur in the 1911 frontier of a Klondike-style gold rush party. Or if anyone knows where one might find a list that already exists that I can draw upon to give some random trial and tribulations to working a homestead/claim in the northwest coast.
