[QUOTE="MGibster, post: 8136581, member: 4534"] Here's another game I absolutely love and while it gives you an idea of what you're supposed to do it doesn't really detail how: Deadlands. Deadlands [S]is[/S] was set in an alternative history wild west where the Confederacy had in effect won the war (they were independent in 1876) thanks to the machinations of a sinister cabal of otherworldly beings called the Reckoners. The Reckoners feed on and grow more power with fear and they spread fear by introducing supernatural creatures to terrorized good honest folk. So the PCs are set up to combat the agents of the Reckoners in some way or another. But the original game didn't really tell you how to go about doing it. It offered absolutely no reason why the PCs - the posse- might include a gunslinger, samurai, mad scientist, cowboy wizard, preacher, and a Pinkerton might be adventuring together. In fact, most of the PCs probably have no idea who the Reckoners are and they aren't automatically invested in defeating them. [/QUOTE]
