Hey, so I'm hosting a campaign of Comrades and next session I'm thinking of having the party on site when a spontaneous strike starts. For context the setting is homebrew, WWI ish with fantasy elements. Obviously they can participate in organizing the workers and talking with people who attempt to intimidate or buy off the strikers but I'd like to have a few more tricks and nudges on standby to keep things going just in case. Any suggestions? Currently I've got "dealing with potential police actions" and "the company sends Pinkertons/infiltrators" but I'd appreciate your thoughts.

    Drumming up support with other members of the community maybe? Like townsfolk who could bring by food and drink, umbrellas and/or shade to the strikers, that kinda talky worldbuilding sorta sidequest

      Yeah I think especially if it ends up being a big thing going on for multiple sessions that becomes more likely. There's other industries in town with shitty working conditions too, so solidarity or spreading the strike is also a possibility.
