New Campaign, New Ideas

[Cannibal Monkey]

Ok, I have found a new player, as yet untainted by anything even emotely Mythosy. So I'm thinking of going for something big to catch him and reel him in. Something exciting. Something that sums it all up.

I have a couple of ideas, neither of which seems much better than the other (although I do have a minute leaning towards Hastur, as per always . Here they are. Im hoping for feedback/ideas/improvements, but just posting will be good enough seeing as how active the boards are atm.

hokay, without further ado, the ideas.

1. Hastur. Pretty much as described in DG: Countdown, but he'll be escaping Carcosa alone (since he's the only guy and all). The problem with this is that Id need a seperate investigation for him to do while Hastur is webbing him.

2. OUTLOOK Group. I could have him start by dealing with some minor thing in Puerto Rico. He then wakes up in outlook facility itself and has to escape and/or find out what the hell is going on. I would have him wake up with memory blackout, but that is cheesy as hell.

3. Start with some "secrets" adventures (Namely the one with the ghouls, as that has proved to be great to get people in the investigative mind) and go from there.

TELL ME THINGS!

Well, I must say you've been a great help with this

In the end I vouched for an OULOOK-Hastur scenario, wherein the investigators searched for someone who had been kidnapped by OUTLOOK. As it happens, at about the same time as the investigators got to said facility, Hastur went mad.

Lo, much fun was had (by me) and much "sh*t!!" was said (by the players) as the Phantom of Truth once more roamed the earth, finding the worthiness of this place to be consumed by Carcosa. In the end it was indeed, but the investigator's bargained their way out of Carcosa and into a limbo world of symbolic visions, climaxing in seeing the true form of the King in Yellow (and through him, Hastur) and even settling upon the beaches of Carcosa itself. However, they managed to escape through one of the parts of the newly Carcosified OUTLOOK facility and back into the real world.

But they forgot the hostage. Luckily, he managed to escape shortly afterwards as well.

Anyone who wishes to play this exciting adventure is advised to watch the DG Spectrum website for when I get it typed up and sent over to mr. Nash.

Woo for me!

I'm looking forward to the day I feel motivated enough to start making little Yellow Sign backdrops for subsections of the text
