Parker & Zhao's Traveling Phantasmagorium Show..

Krieg

First Post
OK I've watched the first eight episodes of Carnivale and have been thinking that it would make a perfect premise for a Firefly game.

The crew of the ship is actually a small traveling carnival that goes from world to world & of course does other odd jobs on the side.

The captain is a former alliance officer who has fallen into alcoholism & despair and is beset by demons.

The first mate/advance man is the real heart & brainds behind the operation helping the carnival (and the captain) keep it together.

The fortune teller is a Santeria Houngan complete with love charms & voodoo dolls.

A couple of Chinese acrobats/contortionists (can you say Jackie Chan?).

A freak show made up of mutants straight outta Gamma World.

A shepard who has lost his faith but found he has other "abilities" (you go Kurgan!).

A midget strongman.

Maybe throw in a bit of The Seven Faces of Dr. Lao?

Perhaps start the campaign when the Carnival comes to a backwards town called Deadwood...;)

Krieg, put down the remote, step away from the television...

Go outside, breathe the air, hit a night club, go on a trip (not GenCon/Origins)

Go outside, for the love of the gawds! ;)
