Superworld Campaign 14 – Fire and Ice Session Three

by  • 

With the firebugs locked away, it’s up to the heroes of Charlotte to try to figure out why they were setting the fires or by who?

I started running a Superworld campaign for students at Appalachian State University in September 2014. The game was set in Charlotte, N.C., starting in the fall of 2014. It was a continuation of the stand-alone game of Superworld I ran in August, though taking place in the present instead of the 1980s, a kind of continuation of that game. This 14th session of the game took place on Sept. 6, 2015, with the original scenario “Fire and Ice.” My players were Kyle, Aaron, Joey, and James.

The role playing journals for the session were at penandpapergames.com but the website seems to have vanished.

The heroes continue their investigation of Dr. Murder but the trail soon grows cold. Then, an arsonist appears in Charlotte and the heroes have reason to suspect he might be an exotic.

Cthulhu Dark – School Spirit

by  • 

High School Seniors party like it’s the end of their lives. . . . and it is!

In 1991, high school students head to Sandy Hooper’s riverside manor to celebrate their football team’s homecoming victory against their cross-town rivals.  The party quickly turns wild in ways that nobody could have ever predicted . . . not even the GM!

I ran this game for a group consisting of players completely new to role-playing and a few experienced tabletop gamers.  Using slightly modified Cthulhu Dark rules, I tried to create a fun sandbox scenario where player actions could trigger a few key “floating” events waiting to happen.  I was also curious to see how this mix of players would interact and create a narrative.  We are all friends already, so I thought they would work well together and avoid any anxiety about sharing their imagination.

They did not disappoint!  The players enjoyed their time engaging in arson, stalking, attempted date rape, grand theft auto, rampant drug use, and delicious muffins. . . all before the evil creature arrives!  The action only gets stranger as the adventure “progresses.”

So please, put on your school colors and enjoy the insanity of School Spirit, with a special guest appearance by The Creature from the Black Lagoon!
