ALIENS

There is an evil that exists only to devour and to destroy. It does not live, as humans would understand life. It does not understand mercy or compassion. It festers in deep space - your team must confront it there. If you're lucky, it will only kill you. If not, it will make you a part of it. You won't even know it's there as it feeds on your humanity, using you to make itself whole, to let the hate build again and again.

And then there's the Aliens ...

A futuristic Cthulhu Now adventure for five mature players. Adult concepts may offend.

Approx. 5 hrs. First run at NonCon '92.

Character Sketches: Charles Van Enck - Team Leader | Samuel Callahan - Medic | Alice Carroll - Pilot | Donna Baines - Psychic | UNSC Operative

WE NEED A FEW GOOD MEN

A beautiful Princess, a beloved King, valiant knights in shining armour, dastardly villains, a team of heroic adventurers, and towering above it all, the wondrous and magical Ever-Changing Palace. A swashbuckling fairytale for all ages, using a stripped-down version of White Wolf'sTM StorytellerTM system.

To Bend Before the Wind

Battle Hymn of the Kings' Seamen

Flying high from the mast
'Ere the royal blue and gold
Of our banner of manhood straight and true
(Straight and true)
We have learned from the past
To be bold in our deeds
Led by leaders of men we will be too
(We'll be too)

(Chorus)
But when honour's at stake
And true manhood's the prize
Then our manhood is right to the fore
For we know that our King
And our country we must face
As true sons of the men who came before
(Came before)

We in turn will be leaders
Of those who follow us
Unto them will we be signs of love and truth?
(Love and truth)
For at times we must strive
With our strength almost gone
Will we fail to pass on this manly trust?
(Manly trust)

(Chorus)

One session swashbuckler for five men and women who are secure in their masculinity, using a StorytellerTM fantasy patch. Approx. 2 1/2 hrs. First run at Necronomicon '95. Warning: Tasteless Humour.


Where to Get Them

Also tell me what file formats you can read, the originals are in MS Word 6.0 format but I can translate to a few others (also specify if you can un.ZIP files). And no, there is no cost involved. I would appreciate hearing feedback on how the module(s) went for your group, or any other comments you may have.
