[QUOTE="Puppy Kicker, post: 1649812, member: 20284"] [B]The game: [/B] We run a D20 Modern game. The rules for Chases and Backgrounds are pulled out of the Spycraft, the rules for Mental Stability are a mixture of D20 Call of Cthulhu and some hombrew. Magic is a mixture of D20 Modern Urban Arcana, D20 Call of Cthulhu, and Old Drew Id's Medallions. [B]The setting:[/B] "Tears in Hell", the introductory adventure, is set in eastern Virginia, modern day. The characters are all non-magical 1st levelers who have had little to no exposure to any of the dark magical nastiness that exists in the shadowy-nasty places. The characters hail from various places (CA to NY) but are all in Virginia when the adventure starts. [B]The characters:[/B] Each player decided which actor would play their character in the made-for-TV-movie version of our campaign. Inspired by Old Drew Id, I wrote up an introduction for each character to explain where they are right now and what got them there. Those introductions are shown in the next 5 posts. For an easy and quick reference while reading, a character summary follows: [I][URL=http://www.enworld.org/forums/showthread.php?t=97067]Armani Determan[/URL]:[/I] (Strong Hero 1) Played by Clancy Brown.
