Hello all,
I am looking for some assistance in a kick off event for a new campaign. It’s the 2nd chronicle. Chapter based. I have my main starting chapters created but falling short on the opening exciting event; which I just need to set tone and atmo
It’s a high school game . 4 players across two HS. Looking for an event that closes one HS and brings all kids into one. Want to avoid any high violence. More supernatural and “oh my god what was that?” tone. And something normal kids might shake off after a week and almost forget about.
I’ll take any ideas.
Thank you!
discovery of a burial ground, a sudden sinkhole with unusual properties, an unexplained wave of illness blamed on the old building.
Asbestos? Not supernatural but may work for your work. It could be a cover-up for something nastier.
If you can’t think of anything, always remember that you can ask the players for these kinds of ideas at the table. They will often come up with better ideas than you since they have more free head space available as players.
So far so good – keep them coming.
Andrew Medeiros – totally love that style and as the game goes on (really right from the start) the players will have a huge influence in the world/setting and in our style they make us as many of the details, or more, than I do. But for this kick off I like to surprise them
Surprises are good, especially ominous ones. 😉
I like the sink hole idea – perhaps with asbestos investigation as pure coincidence; anybody up for giving it just a bit more flavor? – For this new game in my urban setting with High School orientation. First thing I am going to do is collapse one of the high schools in a sink hole. Thereby getting all students to one high school and giving the PCs a panic situation on how to get out and away. Deaths will be very very low to none. I want the public to think its a natural event but my PCs who are sensory, mind and dominate oriented for powers should have just a small clue that its something more. Whats at the bottom? What did it? What clues/traces are there?
The high school is overrun with plagues. Every room starts to suffer a different style of plague, like the heat won’t turn off in one classroom making it scalding hot in there, or there’s a room that the wall cracks and fills with rodents or insects, a waterpipe bursts and floods a room suddenly…avoid the first born death thing, but if you go that way, there’s a chemical spill in the science lab.
