[d20M] League of Extraordinary Gentlemen -- UPDATED 12/4! NOTHING STRESSFUL GOING ON!

[Conaill]

Ya want discussion? I'll give ya discussion!

I always thought it was a bit strange that Mina could control Hyde so easily. Is that true to the books (yeah I know, still haven't gotten around to reading them...), or was this just for the convenience of the game?

I loved your "sets" by the way. The battle on the pier, the spirally flattened trees around Tesla's lab. Always helps to have a cool visual to get "into the moment".

In the books Mina has strong influence over Hyde because Hyde senses that she is the only one who does not abhor/detest him. I forget how it was worded, but she's the only one who doesn't see him as a total monster. She has seen something worse than him (i.e. dracula).

Sure, it could be that.

Or it could be that Hyde likes a fine piece of ass as much as the next subhuman monster.

I wasn't strictly enforcing Hyde's beserk rage, yet. That was the main thing. Mina's player said she wanted to stop him, Hyde's player said, "OK," and that was that.

Thanks. A little tip I think I picked up from jonrog's story hour. It helps a lot just to keep the game structured when you are talking about (a) serial/pulp style games like this and (b) with 4-6 hour game day "slot" format.

"... by the time they walked back to the docks, Mina was arm in arm with Dr. Henry Jekyll" ... smoking a cigarette and wearing a big grin on her face?

Hi Wulf. Great story so far. I haven't read the comics yet, although they are in the shopping cart at Amazon. I'm really looking forward to the movie (it will be called "The League" here in Japan).

Did Hyde's player voluntarily change in the fight with the crystal creature, or did he make an effort to pursue his secondary goals?

I am not 100% sure. I think he made an honest effort. My notes on later scenes generally mention specific stressful incidents that caused his change.

If I ruled at the time that the sudden appearance of an otherworldly construct was sufficiently stressful, I wouldn't regret it in hindsight...

Apparently, you have not read the most recent comic - Hyde's preference does not run that way.

 

[Wulf Ratbane]

Someone else can post the obvious rebuttal.

 

[Conaill]

Yeah, please do... It's not that obvious to the rest of us.
