[QUOTE="Mark Chance, post: 3559208, member: 2795"] [i]What follows is an account of my Friday night, two-player [/i]d20 Modern[i] game.[/i] [b]Introduction[/b] Our heroes, Dean MacGuffy and Roger Kyler, work as ace reporters for a sleazy on-line tabloid that investigates and reports on bigfoots, UFOs, weird cults, and other strange-but-true happenings. Everyone's seen supermarket tabloids like the [i]Weekly World News[/i], with its front-page stories about the bat-boy and women having bigfoot's baby.

The tabloid's goal is to bring into the light the truth that other news media refuse to cover in order to warn the public that sometimes the monsters are real. Of course, most people think [i]Stalking the Night[/i] is, at best, a ridiculous parody of real journalism. Few people ever encounter a real monster, and when they tell their stories, even fewer people believe them.
