It's a setting I'd love to rework and run again, sometime. The basic setting was an investigative special unit that pulled it's team from various sources inside and one outside the law. They were in a large city (Chicago-size) and were dealing with street level crime and perhaps some supernatural. <BR/><BR/>They were never really sure about the supernatural parts. They stopped a ritual from happening, but then outside the context of the game, I questioned them on what they did. How did they know the ritual would actually summon the big beastie? Due to the real life seriousness of the game, it worked. <BR/><BR/>I had also hoped to work in one or two low-level supernatural abilities for each character. I never got around to doing that, though. That was a disappointment for the players, as well as I. I would equate my keeping the game street-level supernatural similar to the idea in <I>Gotham Central</I> of Batman not saving the day, every session.<BR/><BR/>Outside of some players being ass, it was a great game and one that remains on the mental shelf for a game to run in the future. <BR/><BR/>And I never did decide what was real and what was Illusion.Undeadhosthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09131084242228738203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4764158821384594980.post-10528633289936558852009-01-22T08:37:00.000-05:002009-01-22T08:37:00.000-05:00I'd played around with a normals investigating sup...I'd played around with a normals investigating supers/supernatural too. It turned out to be too close to what Dusty didn't run, so I ran a straight supers campaign instead.<BR/><BR/>In the investigation game, the PCs would be the founding members of a state task force called by Gov. Ventura. As a personal project of the Guv, it got special resources and clout. The PCs would have been either very low level powered or so skilled they could almost be superheroic. Most of them would be recruited from various local forces (state police, Mpls police, local FBI office on loan, etc).<BR/><BR/>Ah, if I only had enough time to GM regularly!Gene Hahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07389258008505629339noreply@blogger.com
