Chapter 10, Part II – The Spire of Learning
At the end of Part I, the players were asked to choose from among the three scenarios in part II they’d prefer to do first. It’s also the one requiring the most extensive planning and written up in the most detail. After working on it on and off for about a week, I stayed up

Mercury Man
Farrukh Bolsura, under a famous stage name, seemed to be on top of the world. Lead singer for one of the hottest rock bands of the 80s, famous for a vocal range that landed him duets with everyone from pop stars to opera singers – to the outside world, there seemed to be no stopping
Chapter 10, Part I – Defeatus Interruptus
In contrast to previous sessions where some external event happens and players decide how to enter into the situation, this one started with the action already in progress – action which, it would very quickly become clear, was going to go badly for the D-Listers. I spread the grid mat out on the table, drew

Chapter 10 – I’ve Never Meta Game I Couldn’t Beat – Introduction
I had a vague idea of how I wanted the Father Coughlin storyline to come to an end, but I really hadn’t decided on the specifics yet other than that I didn’t want to drag it out too much longer. Then, a few weeks ago, someone posted on an RPG related Facebook group about having

Chapter 9 – BusierBody
D-Listers (including BB) are meeting at HQ to discuss possible base upgrades – communicators, etc., transportation in the relative absence of the BB-Mobile, etc. when a friendly-looking late-middle-aged man (some grey around the edges) knocks on the front door insistently. He’ll be very polite but won’t back down until they talk to him. He says

Chapter 8 – What Really Bugs Me About the Whole Thing
(Another quick toss-together adventure, prepared while eating dinner after work on game night…) A random pair of characters are on patrol when they see a bright light flash across the sky; a meteor strikes out toward the marshy areas near the canal. If characters get together quickly to investigate, they’ll get close enough to see

Flower Child
Flower Child is a modern super-powered nature-loving hippy gone… sort of bad? Caustic and Jaggoleth have convinced him that they’re rebels against an oppressive system, so he’s going along with them for now, but he’s starting to suspect they’re not being totally honest with him. Type: NPCGeneration Method: ManualFirst Appearance: Chapter 7
Chapter 7 – A Breakout Success
This one was thrown together quickly at the end of a busy week. I had tinkered a little with the Flower Child NPC because I liked the name in a cheesy/goofy kind of way, so I decided to throw him into the mix here to flesh out Caustic‘s little band a bit more. I did

Chapter 6 – West Virginia, There is a Saurid Claws
The D-Listers have set up regular patrols through town. While Velocimancer and Aria are out making their rounds, they’re approached, surprisingly, by another Saurid – the first Velocimancer has met on our world. This Saurid has chosen “Natalie” as her human name, and says she’s heard all about the D-Listers and their famous leader, Velocimancer,
