So next week is probably going to be void of tabletop gaming, at least on my end. It'll be an adjustment period, and I'll need to get my bearings straight before I figure how I'm going to get together with you losers to play games and such.

In other news, this fills me with both dread and anticipation. I'm just wondering what they're going to do to cock up the next edition.

Here's hoping my apprehensive optimism opposes and triumphs over my overwhelming nihilism.

Kyle's Muses

Basis: Wild West/Paranormal

It's the old west but with a twist. A plague is spreading, one that ravages bodies, corrupts the soul and devours flesh. In select locations whole towns have been left a bloody mess. The "dead" walking again. Everything is desecrated. Demons walk among God's children, calling the shots and setting the stage for something bigger. A grand finale at the end, with the cameo of the Blood Angel himself Temozarela.There is still hope though. There is one weapon that we must hold to and that is faith. Just remember the teachings of the good Lord my brothers. Remember Psalms: 23 my brothers.

Basically one of the characters will be a priest with the basic idea of what's what. There can be more than one priest but there must at least be one. Others in the party may be hired guns, zealots, ex-marshals and so on. Either way the priest will have a general idea of the wolves who stalk the sheep. It will be the group's task to figure out what's going on and stop it.

Sowing Seeds - Speakeasy

Roots: Prohibition-era and gangster fiction.

Premise: It's 1926. Chicago. Prohibition's in full swing and lots of people are taking advantage of local speakeasies and dives to fulfill their insatiable thirst for whiskey and gin. Socialites and hayseed folk alike take part in the bounty of successful rumrunners and continue to search for the next glass of the ol' umber syrup. You are one such band of merry rumrunners, staking your claim under one of the local cafes called the "Fleur De Lea." All around, gangsters and rival runners try to halt your progress and take your rum for themselves. It'll be a long few years...

Branches:
-Sessions take place in very separate timelines. One session starts things off before prohibition sweeps the nation, with you guys being part of a crew of miscreants in the employ of a powerful entrepreneur named Albert Wisely. Your job's to "buy out" the competition in the risky trade of alcohol and, to a lesser extent, opium. The next session would be during Prohibition, with you guys taking part in a raid of one of your competing establishment's distilleries. The next would be fending off policemen when your operation is found out, etc.
-You've got to talk in 1920's period slang. No real reason, it's just funny.
-I'd do a spit more research on Prohibition-era customs and lifestyles to give the game a more authentic feel. There'd be car chases, heists, raids and shady deals aplenty though.
-Thompsons.

Canopy: I got in the mood for a gangster game and I think it'd be a lot of fun to just mess around with Mafia-folk, bootleggers, and Cajuns and junk. Plus, you could wear a Pinstripe suit and nobody'd care.

So this week... I really don't know what's what.

If anyone's got any bright ideas, I'm ready to hear them.

Soapbox

I post now from the glorious altar of my new computational device, ramshackle in its construction but devious in its operation. Bow before your new media overlord and master, for I am but a god among ants.

Seriously though. Next week is my responsibility, so expect some spiffy scenarios. I guarantee you'll go a whoopin' and a whompin' on a certain... luminous creature.

In the meantime, I'd like you all to familiarize yourself with your characters again, and try to expand upon your character's foundation. That is, what material plane are they from? What region(s) of that plane? what did they do before mysteriously washing alongside Flotsam's walks? Etc.
I'd also like you guys to put in a comment that displays what you'd like to do at least once in game. An action scene you'd like to emulate, a story you'd enjoy seeing parodied (in a comedic or serious fashion), or something along the "scenario I've always wanted to do" line.

Till next week, toodles.
