Scenario from REUNIcON 2008

Monday, September 15th, 2008

I prepared one main scenario for REUNIcON 2008, where I ran a game using STAR-LEGION: Sci-Fi Adventure a 1PG game from Deep7. You can download the PDF version from the link here along with a full set of pregenerated characters for in a handy zip file.

STAR-LEGION: Sci-Fi Adventure – O’Shans 2512

O’Shans 2512 is a scenario for STAR-LEGION: Sci-Fi Adventure. The scenario was written by Derek Mayne for use at BURPS REUNIcON 2008. It is a plot that centres around a drugs heist at a luxury Casino resort. The scenario was written with the Casino Galactica supplement for SPACE OPERA by FGU firmly in mind and uses that setting, whilst some details are reffered to here it would not be difficult to set the scenario in your own fantasy casino or recreational world setting.

SHRIEK – THE GAME OF TEEN HORROR

Tuesday, September 9th, 2008

As mentioned in previous posts I have become a really big fan of a series of games published by Deep7 (www.deep7.com) and available online from Precis Intermedia Games (www.pigames.net). Attached below you will find another character sheet for use with; SHRIEK: THE GAME OF TEEN HORROR

The games are based on a standard and very simple system with the rules fitting, (more or less), on one page. They are ideal for ad-hoc play and lend themselves to light-hearted “beer & pretzel” style gaming. However, I have managed to get at least one group of people seriously involved in a 1PG setting culminating in a very long running campaign!

The character sheet below is a standard PDF file, just click the icon to download.

Well I guess that’s reassuring?

Well over the years I have dished out some riduculous newspaper headlines and cuttings to players of my Call of Cthulhu roleplaying games – but I guess this just goes to show that there truly is nothing stranger than the truth!

I’m not talking about the microsoft story by the way!
