Things to do on the East Coast (when you're 10th level)

[Munin]

Have them show up at a renfair, gaming convention, or a LARP event -- everyone will comment on their cool costumes and makeup. If you play your cards right, they won't even know they're on Earth until they walk out into the parking lot.

Damn you! Thanks to you I'm now wearing my coffee!!

So why are they on Earth anyway? Are they on some kind of quest?

To make a short story long, I run 2 campaigns concurrently with the same group. One is a Dark*Matter/CoC/Shadow Chasers hybrid, the other is something along the lines of a Quantum Leap style demon slayers d&d game.

In short, the Dark*Matter characters have discovered that a Final Church cell has just summoned a demon (a blood fiend from FF) into our reality. The cultists critically miscast the spell, so at the moment the group is only aware that they have a 3-5 foot tall blood sucker on their hands..nothing they can't handle, right?

Over the course of tomorrow night's game they will likely discover two disheartening facts:

1: it's getting bigger,
2: they can't kill it.
In the end they will have a 15ft monstrosity that is immune to virtually every form of damage they can dish out.

I think I can pull a 'to be continued' and bring in the d&d characters without them catching on right away...if I pull it off right.

Right now Charlotte, NC. looks like the spot where they will arrive, but that depends on where the Dark*Matter group is. They are hard to predict that way. If someone is from that area and knows of a good location I'd appreciate the insight. Other than that, I'm open to any ideas about where they arrive.

If the party is wise, they'll kill/incapacitate the kender early. Played to type, and with *accurate* responses from modern NPCs, he'll be the cause of 80%+ of the party's problems. Mouthing off to the local biker gang chief wielding a pump shotgun is typical kender, and painful to be associated with. Likewise for stealing the siren from a cop car while the cop is eating donuts inside it.

*She* (makes it worse, doesn't it?) is played to type, and the responses from the npcs will be accurate. I fully expect her to have the party in deep trouble* within minutes of arrival.




*As an aside, allowing a kender is one of the best decisions I've ever made as a DM. If the rest of the party is arguing some detail of the game all I have to do is pass her a note that says something like, 'no one is watching you right now', and the game just plays itself.

Awesome.
