One of my local clubs is losing a GM for some time (joining the army), and a few of his old players in various sessions asked if I could run something.
Below are the rough outlines I presented on the forum.
Quote:
| I was asked if I could run something in the mornings, and I agreed. 
Still trying to work out why... 
At any rate, I would be willing to run three games at the moment.
Fading Suns, Spycraft or W.O.D.
The Fading Suns would be more of a supernatural investigation to begin with, leading into the published story arc (so no reading the War books!). Less for why the stars are fading, and more for why Pandemonium and Nowhere are suddenly unreachable. Basic characters, with an extra benefice point. Etyri characters would get another, and Shantor would get two. Some races and character types not allowed.
The Spycraft would be a Rainbow Six / James Bond / Action / Adventure game, with the early emphasis on simple assualt/rescue scenarios, moving into a grander tale later. Players would get point buy, with an extra feat based in highest attribute (or choice if one or more are the same). Most likely Shadow Force Archer setting.
Old School WOD, starting in mid nighties. Wraiths, Mortals, Mages, Werewolves, Caitiff Vampires, Arcanum characters & Hunters will be the order of the day. Still haven't decided on the focus of the campaign, but you'll all be 'outside' the major supernatural groups. Maybe an independent group, Arcanum investigators, Hunter Cell, something along those lines. Basic mortals will get a leg up in the form of extra points, most likely to backgrounds.
Also, the world would be slightly modified, but the Reckoning/Gehenna/Etc is still fast approaching. Major difference is that the Wraiths are still around and playable, although not for much longer, because the Storm is gathering... |
|
Basically what I was hoping is that someone here could give me some ideas to use in them.
I've already got a rough idea of what I'd like to do obviously, but between work, life, and running all my other games, I'm finding myself stretched a bit thin.
Any help you can offer would be appreciated.

I would love to help, but I am unfamiliar with those systems.
If you could nail down the world you are playing in I could give some ideas... I could probably come up with some evil things for the Spy scenario for example.

The latter two are modern day Earth, so they're easy enough.
Doesn't have to be major ideas, just little things can help.
Profile of an NPC, description of a place, stuff like that.
Just creatively drained at the moment, so anything would be appreciated.

I will write some stuff up for you. Need to do something to keep from being bored at work.

I'd help, but I'm kinda stuck in a Gamma World mode right now...

I tend to change my campaign based on the age and gender demographics.
Younger groups tend to be more rebelious and enjoy campaigns that focus on external struggles more than internal, for example a WOD setting where the goal is to overthrow the city's prince.
With older groups I've found that more defensive campaigns are in order IE a Cappy unit fighting off the Fed Suns horde... I hated that campaign... but anyway it's all up to you.

The character stories I can do at work. Armor I cannot.

I know silly. You'd get banned from the officee for bringing in armoring gear. I enjoy poking fun, can you tell?

I was just in training for 3 hours this afternoon on stuff I already knew. Just came up with 2 potentially intense scenarios. I will send them to Kyu privately just in case any of his players are in here reading.

They are both very cool.
The second one just cries out for some Black Hand involvement, or at least source material.
The first one is also pretty good, but it might be a little RP heavy to begin with.
Would you mind terribly fleshing them out a bit more.

Sure, I could do that. I just wanted to get the overview out to see which one you liked.
