Example of a published "gauntlet" scenario

[Committed Hero]

Can any recommend an adventure in which the party must get from point A to point B while being pursued? Can be any genre.

I can’t think of a published RPG adventure, but there’s plenty of movies you could pillage for ideas, like:

The Warriors
Judgement Night
The Naked Prey
Surviving the Game
Jason & the Argonauts
Damnation Alley
DeathRace 2000

I also wrote & ran a homebrew adventure for a 2Ed DarkSun campaign in which the party were escorting a princess to an arranged marriage that would end a war. Forces that didn’t want that attacked the princess’ caravan and cornered them in an abandoned desert keep. There was also an assassin within the caravan. The party had to escape the same way the original owners of the keep had- down into the earth to a subterranean river. But that path was no longer clear…

I just finished watching the series Yellowstone 1883 and think it would make a good adventure. It starts as a wagon train heading to Oregon along the Oregon Trail. Not the one where everyone gets dysentery and dies (which turns 45 this year). There are some savory characters and a large group from another country that do not know how harsh the trail will be. There are bandits and indians that attack along the way that can be swapped for something else. The Army forts along the way are not much help. Merchants to swindle the PCs and other indians that help. In the end, winter is what stops them.

Out of the Abyss has a whole pursuit element going on for the early part of it, though it's not like you're going to be caught at any second, more like you could be caught if you waste too much time.

Land of the Free is a Cyberpunk 2020 adventure published back in 1994. The group is hired to extract a woman from a corporate facility in New York and transport her all the way to Night City in California. The PCs must make their way across what's left of hte United States while avoiding corporate soldiers, bounty hunters, and the police to deliver their cargo. I don't know if I can recommend it as this adventure is the most railroad of them all.

For DCC RPG, specifically DCC Lankhmar, both Masks of Lankhmar and The Greatest Thieves in Lankhmar involve the party being chased. Between the two, I think I prefer Masks to Greatest. The latter is designed for tournament play and very difficult, though the being chased part of it is more prominent.

Band of Blades. A fantasy game where the armies of light went to strike down the dark lord and failed. The PCs are the leaders of the broken army and must retreat with the remnants while being pursued by dark champions and an army of undead. A Forged in the Dark Game.
