[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 4790896, member: 19675"] That's so obvious I'm embarrassed that I didn't think of that myself.:o Hmmm! A natural science "road trip"/"semester at sea" gone wrong, perhaps? Collecting samples, trying their hand at art, and perhaps some training exercises...and then "the fit hits the shan." By happy coincidence, I just saw the Sean Pertwee movie [I]Wilderness[/I] last night on cable (good movie, BTW)... Perhaps I can sprinkle in elements of another Sean Pertwee movie, [I]Dog Soldiers.[/I]:devil: You now have Dannyalcatraz Flu! Twice as contagious and 9 times as fun as regular flu! I can understand how you feel- when I first came up with the original version of this campaign, it somehow felt [I]right.[/I] I knew I was in for something special when the players were just as pumped about it as I was...and EVERYONE came up with an excellent setting appropriate PC. The ones I can recall off the top of my head: 1) A young teen-aged orphan with a whip (based on an Anime character) who was somewhat of a ward of G.A.I.A. (who in the current iteration of the campaign would probably be enrolled at the Cavorite Academy); 2) An aristocratic Brit who "slummed" as The Strongest Man in the World, complete with bald head, handlebar moustache, leopard skin togs and large wooden club and a French rival who was not [I]quite [/I]as strong but slightly tougher; 3) A willowy sonic energy projecting flyer named Rhapsody; and 4) Colt, an American secret agent on loan to G.A.I.A., based on James West of Wild, Wild West. And others besides! And as for foes? The Asian Necromancer- modeled after arch-foes like Fu Manchu, The Yellow Claw, The Mandarin and Ming the Merciless- had assembled a fighting force that included a one-man army (a soldier who could duplicate himself), a martial artist whose dragon tattoo came to life, a matter-animator (who animated a giant Siva statue at one point), and the piece-de-resistance...a psycopath in a steam powered, flamethrower equipped suit of battle armor. I got lucky- everyone was so inspired we fed off of each others' enthusiasm- it became the best campaign I ever ran. [/QUOTE]
