[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 8144868, member: 19675"] [B]The Tokens[/B] A Modern Fantasy/present day sci-fi campaign idea that borrows from Michael Moorcock’s [I]Sailor on the Seas of Fate[/I], [I]Neverwhere,[/I] the [I]Sliders [/I]TV show, and the classic movie, [I]Warriors[/I] and it’s spiritual successor[I], Judgement Night.[/I] A group of friends out on the town get lost in the maze of streets downtown. Then their car breaks down. And because nobody is getting a solid signal on their cellphone, they decide to find the nearest bar or whatever is open to call a tow truck, friend or Uber. They stumble on The Player’s Ball, of all things, and decide to party just a little bit more before making their call. A scuffle breaks out, which then becomes a gunfight, so they run for the exits just like everyone else, and find themselves near a subway station. Still lost, they decide to take the subway- who knew the city had a subway system?- to a more familiar part of the city. They purchase some of the odd-looking tokens, and board the grafitti-cloaked train when it arrives. When they reach a station that has a familiar sounding name, they get off, exit the station into the moonlit night, and start heading in a direction that seems correct up until someone notices the moon doesn’t look right. ...and neither does the second, smaller moon. The train system is crossing dimensional boundaries to other versions of their city. And the mazelike underground stations don’t always have the platforms well marked, so finding the way home will be difficul. Sometimes the friends are just ordinary citizens in these “otherverses“. Sometimes they’re thrust into adventures as heroes...or villains. [/QUOTE]
