SEPTEMBER 13th, 2009 (Real Time – 13th Anniversary of 2PAC’s demise) Then they got the call. Reread that sentence and take it two ways. 1) In game, the two PCs and one NPC (Dr. Van Richten) were on the way to the bookstore when the station buzzed AGENT RAMOS and told him to report to duty immediate...

Understandable. But you do know D20 Modern basically IS 3.0. Same thing. Base classes, feats, skill points, you know the drill. Anyways, I guess the next question is what to collaberate ON! :lol: Do you have a live table top game anywhere? Where do you play? Where are you FROM just out of curiousity...

Re: "Roleplaying" the Dark Powers

One easy way would be to steal from DS9 and Contact and have them appear in the shape of people the PC knows. I used this method. Many years ago when I was closing the books on our homebrewed world, I wanted to bring the PCs over to RAVENLOFT as outlanders. One of the PCs (who was temporarily home ...

We most def need to collaberate more. You and I are approaching the same experiment from slightly different angles. I was slightly aware this had been going on, but until I read your MotRD link for 1998 I didn't realize how deep it really is. This is a long time goal of mine as well, the only place ...

THE CIRCLE CLOSES MARGUERITA hoped for some kind of closure after learning this information, but found neither comfort or hope after this revelation. Soon thereafter, as her brief meeting with PETCHKO filtered out into the general population, things took a dark turn for MARGUERITA. It got worse, wi...

Stunned by his appearance MARGUERITA came to the aid of the old man, using her two prison allies to deter anymore attackers. With those two girls listening on, MARGUERITA had an impassioned exchange with the prisoner. He was a disheveled, mangled old cur. A pitiable sight, a mockery of a man. In som...

I altered the look and feel of the maps included in the module to capture the G’Henna compound – primarily the “Zhukar” cellblock that MARGUERITA was delivered to (aka “City of the Starving”). This opened the door for ample roleplaying goodiness… OZ-style. I broke down the look of the complex, inclu...

There she underwent the “good cop/bad cop” routine. The good cop was DETECTIVE RUSSELL POOLE, a well-dressed white man with suit, tie and kind eyes. He questioned her lightly about her past and her reasons for coming to LA. He admitted they had her hemmed in pretty tight, and she could go down very ...

Unfortunately, PROFESSOR PETCHKO was no longer at the address given to her. Matter of fact, he sold all his stuff and moved to San Francisco not too long ago. A natural “1” on her Gather Information roll then resulted in an entire day of wasted time as she could find nothing notable on PROFESSOR PET...

Before we started, I gave MARGUERITA the rules on a failed Horror Check (which she failed during EPISODE #1 after witnessing a group of gangbanging ghouls feasting on a human corpse). I promised new and psychological realms for her character to explore. She rolled the Moderate Horror Effect of AVERS...

For some flavor, You might have all the players behind the scenes ranting about the 'Pures' who slipped through their fingers, i.e. Michael Jackson, Elvis Presley, John Lennon... I don't think these guys slipped through the fingers of the Dark Powers after all. As for the demise of NWA - in particu...

New Episode coming September 13th 2009! Thanks for all the great ideas and inputs, now check this out. So this is how I break it down. I've already concluded there are many different "Pures". In its essence, "Pure" is another phrase for "magic". Magic through belief, ma...

Good point. One of the many epic failures they experience in the module, is the fact that these spawns are hopelessly mad and savage.

It's more between LYSSA and the HIGH MASTER, second in command to the God Brain. The High Master is a free willed, roaming illithid who serves the God Brain and is so close he feels he is unaffected by the God Brains powers, and cannot be read. So of course he plans to betray him and usurp his posit...
