Quick session 2 recap:

Princeton, the Vamp, runs a wine bar near the university and is working on corrupting the daughter (and Link) of the Spectre. She is aware of the supernatural and a big fan of Twilight and Vampire Diaries, so romanticises the life. I’ve set up a player-visible countdown indicating how enamoured she is with Princeton, which will tick when he “escalates” their relationship in some manner. The Spectre can probably reduce it but it’s unclear how (yet).

Jonny, the Fae, is running from his true heritage in the fae nobility has set himself up as a human baker (“The thing I love most about humanity is cake – you can’t bake in the fae realm”) and collector of 80s toys. In tracking down a mint condition Ecto-1 still in the box, he met with a witch from a local coven who is also a collector. She had two redcap goons under her control – an affront to his court that a member of the nobility wouldn’t let stand. I keep asking questions about promises he may have made back when he was active in his court, encouraging him to go break in favor of his human life of cakes and toys.

Fontaine, the Spectre, is a Desert Storm vet killed over gambling debts who still protects his daughter (despite being a deadbeat dad after the war). He struggles with keeping her safe, keeping her away from the Vamp, and keeping his hold on reality. He reached out to the Fae baker to find out if he could make anything that didn’t turn to ashes in his mouth, so maybe he could feel again. Jonny said that the remnants of a restless spirit that finally passes on into oblivion is used by many humans to bridge the spirit world, and could possibly work (this was an immediate response from the player and I was super happy with it until…). He called it “ghost butter”.

Back in session 1 we also had Emory, the Veteran, and his hunter-in-training, Alana. Alana had returned from a night of hunting with information about a man killing demons and eating the bodies. Upon investigation, it was found to be related to an egyptian artifact recently stolen from the museum. It is too strong to handle on her own, so Emory removed his prosthetic arm, re-attaching his shotgun for the first time in years. He began reaching out to his old hunting crew, collecting a gang of chubby out of shape old folks in hopes of stopping this new threat.

Fun times so far. I haven’t been able to get Investigate a Place of Power in play, nor is there much Cashing in a Debt (2 so far from the players). Any advice on these fronts?
