[QUOTE="TaranTheWanderer, post: 7993612, member: 15882"] Hey! Has anyone played any of the Dresden FATE stuff? I tend to use ENworld for D&D stuff and, when I need some advice on Dresden, I usually post this stuff on the Paranet Online Website but it's been pretty quiet there for the last year or so and I'm not sure I'm going to get lots of response. So here I am. I'm introducing some friends to Dresden and FATE in general. I've made them some pre-gens and I'm setting it in 1994. I need a 6-8 session story arc. I have lots of ideas but can't put them together to give the players a hook. Here's what I have: -Northern City; gateway from South (civilization) to North (Wilderness) -Theme -A run-down psychiatric hospital on the outskirts of town, surrounded by lots of bush. It actually got shut down in 2012, so I thought I could use that. Maybe there's a reason why they want it shut down? -A University, also just on the outskirts surrounded by bush and lots of trails -A missing person who went missing 30 years ago from the Psych hospital. My plan is to make him a BCV. (Black Court Vampire) - Some murders revolving around the BCV -Organized crime and a Crooked Construction Company -A Social Worker/Psychiatrist working with the BCV. But having a hard time with the connection. Maybe also using or being used by the mafia. - A Military NORAD Base With a 1950s underground complex -First Nations Spirituality/Mythology PCs: Cop (Pure Mortal) Reporter (Pure Mortal) Priest (True Believer) Soldier Red Court Infected Student with Cassandra's Tears and The Sight (minor talent) Background: In the 50s-60s Organized Crime used charitable organizations to run Bingo scams. It was big business with connections to Sicilian mafia. Mussolini cracked down on Mafia in Italy at that time. A Don who was also a BCV flees Italy and ends up in the norther city. For several months, there are disappearances as the Don tries to set up his Scourge in this wilderness town. But the local priest finds out about the Bingo scam associated with his Lion's Club and, quite accidentally, stumbles upon the BCV. He gathers his posy and they go to destroy the vamp. In the ensuing fight, The Missing Person from the psych hospital, who was turned into a Vamp is somehow 'put on ice' for 30 years. He wakes up and is now working to further his goals. How can a BCV go MIA for 30 years? What prompted him to awaken now? How is he connected to the psychiatrist? How does it relate to the hospital? Any advice would be awesome. I feel like I'm missing one detail to tie everything together... [/QUOTE]
