[QUOTE="demiurge1138, post: 4533802, member: 7451"] How're the players getting involved with the supernatural world? Are they government agents? Private investigators? Will they be mythical/magical themselves, or will you limit them to humans only? A game I brainstormed but never got off the ground was going to be about the PCs as the cast and crew of a "Mysterious Mysteries" show--investigating so-called paranormal phenomona, etc. The twist would be that the first session would have their first actual encounter with the supernatural, and they would then be hired as field agents by the government organization that deals with such things (originally, the actual BPRD, but if I were to run it now, I think I'd make it my own bureau). My plan for their first assignment would have been something relatively light and fluffy. The koalas at the San Francisco Zoo are in fact the only drop bears in captivity, and unfortunately, well meaning Animal Liberation Front-types released them into San Francisco at large. A later (rather a bit later) assignment would have the PCs looking into rumors of velociraptor activity in Costa Rica (as Jurassic Park, the original novel, was based on true events, and the government was responsible for later sequels and adaptations erasing any reference to raptors leaving the island for the mainland). These raptors would be being corralled up by the kinori, who would be working to overthrow the government of Costa Rica and establish their own nation. ...man, now I want to run that game again.
