WoD/ Kult Scenario


Patryk Adamski (djinni@STUDENT.UCI.AGH.EDU.PL)


Admit it, folks, this list has been pretty quiet as of late, so, to stir things up I am going to post some scenario ideas distantly Kult related. So here it is :
The three of us here have been charged with responsibility for creating RPG World of Darkness based tournament, and that's what we came up with.

THE SYSTEM used is heavily modified Castle Falkenstein. We use abilities ranging from Poor to Legendary for the purpose of determining chance of success with cards as Willpower/Hero Points to use in situations of tremendous importance.

THE SETTING is the mad carnival of Rio de Janeiro, AD 1999 (a year before the turn of the century), with lots of prophecies, cults, zealots, frenzied crowds as a background - if you've seen Katherine Bigelow's Strange Days, you've got a good idea what I am talking about.

THE IDEA is that there are three different power groups about to clash. They are represented by three different 4 men (could be women, we certainly are not going to discourage any girls from taking part) teams of vastly different backgrounds and possibly purposes. Their deadline is, yes, you guessed it, the midnight our of the last day.

THE STORY, take I. A group of FBI agents has been invited to help Rio police stop a killing spree of a certain serial killer of, apparently, US origins. What the agents do not know, is that there is not one, but three different organizations and no fewer than three madmen, and a very sane and sinister person behind the scheme.

THE STORY, take II. A routine check into kindred activities in Rio area performed by a group of Toreador Archons turns up secrets no one would like to know ... they start in a restaurant, where they are served some strange dish that causes them to have visions of chases, tortures and unbearable fear ... (they all have EAT FOOD merit). Their investigations will/could uncover clues leading to meat traffic and cannibal practices on staggering scale. What they do not know, is that this is only a tip of an iceberg, and that someone is using them to stop threat to his meat mongering monopoly.

THE STORY, take III. A renegade Guardian, an angelic creature, has shown mercy by intervening into a fate of a mortal thus acting against freewill of a sentient being of lesser status. She or he is to be thrown into Abyss for its sins. A group of Guardians has been awakened from the state of Waiting and sent after the criminal. Call it coming of an age and clashing morals against virtues. What they do not know, is that the renegade has tried to protect people from bizarre threat and failed.
Tracking him, they'll have to decide whether monkeys deserve their help and what the word 'good' means.

THE STORY, an explanation of sorts. No one knows why or how human brain works. But, with all this modern science, would not be possible to translate oneself into chimerical being of silicon, fiber optics and magic? Someone has offered immortality for some material for necromantic practices ... wouldn't you kill time and time again for such an opportunity? 1
