village idiot again.
First Post
I want you! to play in my game.
Howdy. I"m *hoping* to run an Unknown Armies at gamesday. My game is already listed over at RPG.net, but I'm trying to get a full set of players. (Ideally, seven or eight.) I know this is a D20 forum, but hey, I need players. Here's my spiel.
Unknown Armies is a very straightforward percentile system. The Setting is
Modern- Why, it could even be today. The Scenario will be Jailbreak, written by
Greg Stolze. (Characters are provided) Compared to a typical tabletop scenario, it's a bit
unconventional, but I've run it before, and it really is fun as all get-out. IT's being run in the second Track of the day.
The Introduction: It was not a quiet night: a sudden storm blew across the farmlands,
bringing thunder and lightning. An old man and his wife looked out at the storm as it
turned to hail. They discussed going to the cellar, deciding to do so only if the weather
became worse.
They didn't listen to the radio, so they didn't hear the news. They didn't try to call anyone,
so they didn't know their phones had been cut. They did not know there had been a
jailbreak. They did not know a guard had been taken hostage by four convicts, convicts
who had then siezed a van on the highway.
Maybe the wife briefly saw a face at the window and dismissed it as a trick of the light and
her own fancy. Maybe the husband squinted his aged eyes into the storm. But their dog
was quiet, their house was secure from the storm and neither really suspected.
They had no clue until they felt a cold draft from the direction of the back door, until they
turned and saw a large man pointing a pistol at them. He was soaking wet, dressed in
orange coveralls with "Surrey State Penitentiary" stenciled on the front and back. His eyes
were wide but his voice was calm as he said "Do what we say and no one dies." Then he
looked over his shoulder and said "Icepick, bring in the others."
