Titan band?

What happens when your band decides to join the titans?  Do you keep running from the new perspective as long as it stays classy?


Firstly, Im not sure how a group of titans can stay classy.  But past that confusion, I'll try to answer.

Most importantly, the players should make sure the ST is cool/happy running a titan game.  If the ST isnt gonna enjoy it or have fun with it, then thats gonna greatly effect the outcome.  I really think its gonna depend a lot on the group of players and their ST though.  I'll outline the options.

1. When the characters become titans/fully join the titans, you finish that game, and say the characters head off into the sunset.

2.  ST writes a bangin final story hittin all the main problems and highlights of life as a titan, and maybe at the end the gods win in a climactic....something.

3. The ST is totally cool with running a titan campaign, and you guys keep going like nothing happened.

I think it all completely depends on the goals, temperament and skill of the players and ST.  I think all options can certainly work.

Me personally, I wouldnt like playing an all titan story.  If one member of the band decided to go, and the other PCs had to make tough decisions.  Maybe they worked with them for a while and then locked them up.  Maybe they tried to convert the titan back to the side of the gods.  You can play with that a bit and find a lot of interesting stuff.  However, I think the full band deciding to all go titan wouldnt be fun for me.  Id probably let em finish up the game and talk to them about what kinda story we'd be running next.   Not that it shouldnt be a viable option for the PCs themselves, they should always have all real options open to them.  But as an ST, that doesnt mean you have to keep the story going when they make those choices.  It is very reasonable to say when they were no longer scions/gods the story of them as scions/gods ended.

While one of the two groups was waiting for the other group to hit the ragnarok time period, we did a 2 month titan-esque game.  It was about the struggle of young titanspawn stuck with an incredibly charismatic young scion.  Eventually most of them changed their ways and reformed.  It was a struggle, and not all of them made it out alive, but it was fun and interesting playing with those dynamics for a short time.
