quislibetAs is often the way of things, while sitting in a cafe reading over a printout of my most recent dissertation scribblings and listening to what was, for a while, some decent music (Siouxsie, Bowie, some They Might Be Giants) that soon turned to less decent freeform jammin'-while-I'm-high music, I was suddenly struck with an urge to run another one-shot game this summer. The idea had been percolating for a few days, ever since Sarcy and OHBK's Mortals game and some comments by Aufheben about aspects of his home Sabbat game.
A classic one-shot live-action game set-up involves, as we all know, that idea stolen from the murder mystery: someone invites a bunch of people to a spooky location, and then they start dying. In the spirit of this old chestnut, I (might) bring you:
It's Christmas in July at the Pentex International Building in Boston! Henry D. Gardner, Vice President of New England Corporate Operations, has invited movers, shakers, go-getters, and, presumably, you to celebrate yet another successful merger.
"Isn't this a fantastic party? Full of Pentex's brightest and best and -- what? No, I have no idea what the lab guy over there in the corner means, 'It's escaped.' Have you tried the little wieners on sticks yet?"
Possible character types include Black Spiral Dancers, Shadow Court Fae, low-arete Nephandi, Sabbat vampires, sorcerors, psychics, fomori, mob bosses, and just plain normal office workers who have no idea what's really going on.
This would happen in, say, early August.
I'm not saying it's going to happen, as it depends entirely on my progress on the diss. -- so if I keep going on like I have been, no game for you.
