Combination 15a: Clockwork Tenby
15) GURPS Reign of Steel: Read the Sky and GURPS Steampunk Setting: The Broken Clockwork World

Its been hard since the world broke. Mass starvation has been avoided, but small outlying towns are now dealing with very different masters, most of whom have unfamiliar languages and gods. Or had unfamiliar*gods at least.*
Contact has been lost with Tenby. Its unknown if this is due to Tenby moving on in this fractured landscape, but the indications are otherwise: the simple messenger sent out to check on them hasn't returned, and it would be odd for them to be whisked away so soon after the village itself.* A party must be sent out to see what is going on...

Combination 15b: The Measure of a Robot
15) GURPS Reign of Steel: Read the Sky and GURPS Steampunk Setting: The Broken Clockwork World

This starts out as a simple run through of Watch the Sky, but as a twist, the Pirates are from the broken clockwork world. The evidence of other-worldly technology will start showing up in Tenby. If the players dig a bit, they can reveal the presence of "robots" among the enemy combatants. Their response should be fun to watch, depending on the setup of the game and the inclinations of the players... and on just how much the GM can twist the descriptions to confuse the players.*
