Once that's done I have some game related writing to do.. and I need to start on the players handouts for my two Ohio Gameday sessions.. trying to decide the best way to run a 4 hour game session.. it's been so long since I have run anything that focused... and never with a group of players I hardly know.
I assume you're using pre-gen characters for the adventure?

That is the plan, so I have a good deal of control over at least the initial setup.. we'll see what happens from there..

I don;t know if I want to do serious mecha sci-fi or giant monster smashem up style for the mecha game. I already have some of the star Wars stuff ready.
 

No, but they know what's going on; I explained it in the OOC thread.

They're ancient heroes who were put into slumber for eons to fulfill a prophecy. They will awake when the world is once again in dire peril.
 

Watch your tense.. you shift twice in this section:


The radiant silhouette flickers again and nearly fails, but instead begins shrinking into a curved shape.

“……me….”

The light forms into a crescent moon. It flickers.

There is a massive boom, as if a tremendous stone block had been dropped.

The light flickers again.

A second noise, like thunder sounding over a mountain-peak.

The light flickers. It fades.

A third crash, and you are wrenched from your millennial sleep into the waking world.
 

From a technical standpoint it looks like you have some structure issues, but in the content arena you're off to a good start.. watch for passive wording and improper tense, there are also a few spelling issues.. Usually if you read it aloud and it makes sounds right that's a good way to judge it.
 


A few wording changes I would recommend to tighten up the drama...

Suddenly, a point of light interrupts your unending sleep. It grows in size until it seems as if you will be blinded by the brilliance, and then coalesces into the shape of a man.


might sound better as:

Suddenly a point of light pierces the quiet darkness. It retreats quickly, screaming against the building light. You feel your eyes tear as the blinding luminence receedes and before you a hazy figure of a man appears, just out of focus.

something like that.

Apoc, if it's just a oneshot for a Gameday I'd go for the giant monster smash-em-up game.

Yeah I'm leaning that way, just an all out stop the alien monsters from destroying Tokyo kind of game.
