Well did a couple of characters…first is this one for a character based in the Shards: Unsung Destiny setting that was one of the example campaigns in Mecha and Manga (an excellent supplement for Mutants and Masterminds 2nd Edition)

Proceed to collapse and sleep until work the next day.

Games:

Divine Blood – FAE – Don’t Let the Sun Go Down

Divine Blood – GUMSHOE (Trail of Cthulhu mostly) – Loss of Life

No Particular Setting – Monster of the Week – Tournament of Fate

Undecided Setting – Just a Game: Fate Core – Undecided Scenario

Undecided Setting – Just a Game: Powered by the Apocalypse – Undecided Scenario

**********************

Other Games/Scenarios

Gods and Monsters – Fate Core Game – (Characters are Gods in the early days of the world)

Venture City – Fate Core Game (Superheroes with a Shadowrun vibe)

Divine Blood RPG – Day at the Fair (Comedy/Civilian Scenario)

Urban Shadows – Powered by the Apocalypse

My Zodiacs setting – Use Fate Core (Heroic Fantasy with cowboys, samurai, witches, vikings, mongols and other such things)

I considered HERO, BESM or Mutants and Masterminds; but I’d need to make Pre-Gens for those and it’s really short notice. Maybe next time.

I’m not comfortable doing 5e because I only have the PHB.

My average online one-shots run 3 to 5 hours, but my convention slots are planned for five hours so that’s what I’m basing this around.

I’m going to have a 5-day vacation from 9/19/2015 to 9/23/2015 (note I live in Japan, so that’s sort of like 9/18/2015 to 9/22/2015 for Americans)

I plan to run some one-shots on that week as part of playtesting for a game-concept of mine and getting ready for the October Virtuacon.

The Systems I will be running are:

Monster of the Week – Scenario: You and your friends are a team of monster hunters based around the one of you who wields a relic that was created for the participation in an ancient tournament. There are four other wielders with their own allies. The winner of the tournament is charged with sealing an ancient beast into its seal for the next 60 years and also gets a magical boon.

Fate Accelerated (Divine Blood setting) – Scenario: The recently reincarnated and middle-school aged Amaterasu is missing, find her before something horrible happens. Pre-Gens exist but are optional. Unusued pre-gens will possibly be used as NPCs.

GUMSHOE (Divine Blood setting) – Scenario: The cousin of one of the characters has gone missing from Toledo in the 1920s and the characters all volunteer to help track him down. The scenario is based around the Pre-Gens, to work as expected, 6 players would be needed, but we can fix that by allowing more Investigative points to characters in the case of fewer players.

Just a Game (Fate Core and possibly Powered by the Apocalypse rule sets) – The premise of Just a Game is people stuck in their MMO, the playtest packet is available on DrivethruRPG. Exact scenario undetermined yet. Virtuacon is set to use the Fate Core rules but I also want a playtest of my own for the PbtA rules. (I will probably use that as my major RPG project next year)

These will be done via Google+ Hangouts and broadcast on my youtube channel.

Okay, within the overall long article on reskinning Urban Shadows to fit my Divine Blood setting, I hit upon the idea of an alternate way of interpreting Corruption.

The default assumption with Corruption is that someone who has become filled up their Corruption entirely has become an evil creature that has given in to their darker natures.

However, it occurred to me that an alternate interpretation is that someone who has filled up on Corruption could have become a threat in another way, namely: they no longer stop to think about endangering their friends and contacts in order to achieve some major goal.

In other words, they’ve fully embodied the idea that the ends justifies the means and the reason they would serve as a threat is that they’d be willing to sacrifice the safety or lives of an entire neighborhood in order to stop some other threat they consider to be more important.

One example I used was Dillon from the first Predator movie who was very willing to lie to Dutch and the other mercenaries in order to get them on what he considered an important mission.

Thus, they’d become a threat because they would come with tasks for the players that may or may not be a suicide mission…or they might become reckless and go about their own crusade without caring at all who is endangered as a side-effect.

Does that sound valid?

Reskinning certain PbtA games to run my setting. Mostly a thought exercise.

I would be interested in playing in a game. Due to constraints on my time, I’m mostly available for Play-by-Post. But if someone runs a voice-chat campaign via hangouts or skype I am available on the Friday Morning to Saturday Early Morning time slot (I live in Japan, that’s my Friday Night to Saturday Early Afternoon). Past that I have other games I play in and run.
