Part 2 of 2 What can I say? The little moments of indecision in life are often the greatest. At any rate, they lead to the most interesting conclusions. It’s those that really make you …feel, you know? The rest of your life you follow these sorts of pathways of things that you know you could...

Hello! Thats enough for an introduction, I think. Welcome to my oddball neo-Noir detective game using the Mutants and Masterminds system! Hope you enjoy, tell me what you think (Good, bad, whatever!). Hopefully this SH will echo some of the gritty feel that the game itself had. Dark humor...

Chapter 2 – The Dark Home of Sanity When the shark bites, With his teeth dear, Scarlet billows start to spread Fancy gloves though, Wears Mack here dear So there’s not a trace of red. On the sidewalk, Sunday morning Lies a body oozing light. Someone’s sneaking’ Round the corner Is that...

What?

* * * I knew that dame was trouble the moment she walked through the door. It was like she walked right out of my bad private-eye dream and right into my mouldy chair. It would have only been too easy to let her on her way, tell her I was closing up for the last time. So called, George Goethe...

From what I know - Your broadsword tends to be a older weapon, more often used single-handed and is better at hacking through things. Wouldn't want to stab with it. I think it was used mostly if not always with a shield - remnants of such swords have found they have little blade contact, so...

2-5, depending. Most of my games hit about the 3 mark. Gladiators in a great arena escaping after five years of brutal combat, barbaric wandering princes seeking glory through pillage/whatever and simply happen to pillage temples of ancient gods.. Magic I generally limit, and try to give it a...

High fantasy? Battles are fought underground - the surface is riddled with dangerous magical/poisonous fields from previous battles.

Lets hear them! From one of my great demons, named by humans as the Dark Longing - Imagine, night upon the blasted plains. A single knight, leading a ragged and unconcious band of adventurers on horseback. Through the night, a cold wind. In a voice not loud, but as deep as the cracking of...

Never had trouble. My mum understands basically what the game is about, having heard us yahoo and carry on. Never had an issue in the world apart from when we bothered the neighbours :D. My dad on the other hand hasn't a clue. He always calls it "Dragons and Drakes", vaguely understands it's...

Depends on the game. As I far prefer the idea that hit points are tiredness points than actually taking wounds, I have a lot of "hurried blocks, deft footwork, voiding parry" sort of stuff for taking damage. When they deal it and do killing damage - little holding back. "Your rapier stabs...

Hows about this - Gunmage and friend DMPC (Wizard named Alaszus Winterborne) get a job protecting an emissary (A converted Morrowan Monk, ex-Menoth priest) on pilgrimage along the skirmishing Khador-Llael border. Cue a battle or two with bandits harrassing a village. While there, they find a...

Thanks! *starts scribbling* Please Sir, Can I've some More? SOME MORE!?

I need help. The books cost so much and I want them! But really I need help in creating a decent campaign. I'm running IK in a single-player game with the girlfriend, who is playing a half-elven gunmage in Cygnar as a mercenary for hire. She's starting at 3rd level with no magelock pistol...

Wow, I actually foster discussion sometimes. Anyway, a couple of posters have mentioned the DM as being slightly lacking. I would disagree; he worked with the (Experienced no less) player endlessly to get him to understand the world. Understand that while there is a Monk class in the game, it's...

I've a new character that I'm quite keen on. He's a level 1 paladin - but he dresses in plain brown robes, has a tonsured head and hides his broadsword and shield, preferring the simpler life of a pilgrim. most of his skills lie in diplomacy and Perform: Song. At any rate, I was introduced and...

I once tried something like this, though it didn't have as many tie-ins. Well, imagine a bunch of high level (5 is high in this campaign) kings, generals and leaders of large and violent organisations for a number of reasons personally travel south on one last adventure together - to remove the...

A bunchload of adventures read and ready to play for those times when normal campaign goes out the window. Paranoia is good for that.

Thanks everyone! The advice has been good. So far, I'm resolved to play a longer game - and using one of the previous posters advice on starting a minor plot which leads them to another, continue from there. Previously generally I tend to introduce the main problem and have them solve that...

Piratecat: May I ask for an anecdote or example? Thanks Wolf, though I'm uncertain of too many interweaving plots. I tried that once; some players liked it, others were confused as for what to do. I've tried to avoid too many plot threads since. Also, would you advise leaving character...
