[QUOTE="The Green Adam, post: 3509231, member: 50821"] Not so much weird, but another of my no-one-said-I-couldn't-so-I-did campaigns... [B]Star Trek: Fedifensor[/B] [I]Star Trek, The Role Playing Game by FASA[/I] After months of running a Star Trek campaign (set during the TOS motion pictures), the player of the first officer PC got a job working on our game day. In a big farewell blowout adventure, the PC becomes captain of his own ship and takes off at the end on his own missions. About 2 weeks later, I talk to Dave, the player of the first officer turned captain. Turns out he had begun running a Star Trek campaign of his own. Dave's younger brother played his former character and the campaign followed the adventures of his new ship in the same area of space as my campaign. We stayed in touch, traded notes and soon it was clear to any player of either campaign that the continuity of the two games were shared. A few months go by and Dave and I are at the local Pizza place when a good friend of ours walked in. We hadn't seen Rich in forever. He had joined the navy and was back for a while it seemed. Asking us if we still gamed we told him about our Trek games. He flipped out. A huge fan of Star Trek and a big gamer he wanted in but neither game met with his schedule. Using our campaigns as a basis, we helped Rich develop his own to run with a few friends and navy buddies. Then it hit me...all three campaigns were in the same sector of space. It all culminated a few months after that. Rumours and side adventures in all three campaigns led to the belief that a species of energy beings were possessing people throughout the Federation and the Klingon Empire. Everything led up to a potential take over of our sector headquaters, Starbase Templar. What happened next became legend in our gaming circles for years afterward (dramatic, no? :p ). Three GMs, 17 players, three Starships...a 24 hour gaming session that featured a battle between the forces of the alien invasion and the PC vessels. In the end, 4 PCs were killed, including the former first officer turned captain, Dave's old character, who sacrificed himself and destroyed his own vessel to eliminate the dimensional portal the aliens were using to enter our reality. We boldly gamed where no one had gamed before! :lol: [/QUOTE]
