Question: What's with your film noir cast of new PCs?
Ha, I didn't even really think of them as looking all film noir, but they totally do. I really need to see James' inner monologue about how this dame Mabel walked into his town one night, and he knew right away she was trouble. But he's a sucker for an old bat with a Doberman.
Our six new PCs - Michael, Nic, Mabel, James, Rick and Valentina - are the stars of a new Hero-level chronicle we've just started. It's set in the modern day, but in a separate universe from the shenanigans of the Skeins/BNT/Strawberry fields gangs, mostly so these poor kids don't have to start the game in the post-apocalyptic mess the others have left of their world. Like all new Scions, they've just awakened to their powers, have only a vague idea of what's going on in the world, and are spending most of their time running around screaming in confusion and trying not to get killed by Titanspawn. Also singing Broadway medleys on the roof.
So far, ancient Babylon has reared its head in modern New York City, and almost everyone is in the hospital. I think it's going well!
True friendships are brewing, with such greetings as shooting your new awesome friend in the face!

Same Old Song and Dance.

Of All the Bars in the World...
or
History on Repeat.
My suggestions, though I may think of more later.
Im not sure why games need names ;)
ReplyDeleteSo it's easier to talk about them, silly. "You know, the Saturday game" really only works when everyone in the room is in that game.
DeleteIt also gives any reader or on-looker of the story or game a small idea of what it may be about. So names are good to have, unless something is wrong with it and has no clear idea.
DeleteAn example is the story I sent you guys, I've named it tentatively 'From Ashes Many Shall Rise'. It can be guessed what this means, even when looking at it through a mythical standing point. Unfortunately, I have read some stories and been in some games where I can not easily give it a name. Oh well, not the worse thing, lol.
And I just reminded myself, read any yet or not get a chance yet?
Not yet. But I will!
DeleteLol, Anne, if you can't because of something, its ok. Its not going to be the end of the world for him, he hasn't turned fully to the dark side.
DeleteDon't even get James started on Mabel... Let alone that Valentina broad. Something's goofy with that doll.
ReplyDeletesays the guy crawling through the sewers in the dark
DeleteIt's alright everybody, we are just moving the party to the hospital!
DeleteHehe. I've missed games :)
