I'll put up all my ideas for different scenarios here. That is, if they don't fit anywhere in the trinity, kult or star trek tng categories. I might be adding more worlds to the ones already listed, but that is a work in progress, as always.
Anyway, these scenario ideas are all things I've figured would be cool to play, but haven't had the time to develop further yet. You're welcome to use them if you would like, but please state my name as the creator if you're using them on conventions or even publish them. I've got nothing against sharing, but I believe in giving credit where credit is due.
Knock yourself out :).
Genre: Steampunk
Inspiration: This was actually a dream I had one night. I was the scientist, and the vampires came after me, hunting me relentlessly. anyway, I thought it was an interesting idea, although it has taught me not to read too much Kim Newman before bed time..
The Plot: A brilliant scientist is disrupting the order of the unions forming by vampires in the dockside. The scientist is trying to put a stop to the organized "protection" business the vampires are starting up, and he's so far managed to kill three vampires in his quest to stop the mayhem and bullying.
The head vampire is not at all pleased with the scientists attempts and is therefore trying his best to threaten him. However, the scientist is not letting himself be bribed, cajoled or threatened into changing his quest. His resistance is firm, and he is also whipping up a following.
The vampire decides that he has had enough of that crap, and sends the players to kill the scientist. However, the scientist has not been idle. He has anticipated such a move, and makes use of his amazing mind transfer machine just as the vampires arrive. They find nothing but the dead husk of the scientist, and a person climbing out the window. The hunt is on. The vampires are up against a brilliant scientist able to transfer his mind anywhere. But he does leave subtle clues behind..
Genre: In Nomine
Inspiration:A song by Sting actually. I liked the title and devised a scenario from it.
Plot:The scenario begins when a group of malachim come to arrest the players and put them to trial. Accusations of a discord crime are brought to daylight, one which is still resounding throughout the entire symphony. In order to clear their names of the crime and also to avoid falling from grace, the players must find the person/s who actually committed the crime, and also to find evidence of the truth. The scenario is based on a classic "find the real bad guy while we try escaping our insistent persecutors" theme.
Discord has been reached, after many tries, by one of the lesser daemons, trying to catch the attention of satan. The daemon wants to become watcher of the word Misplaced Blame.
Genre: Freeform
Inspiration: Teletubbies
Plot: Tubbieland is invaded by a bunch of really nasty dust bunnies, intent on dusting down tubbieland. Tinky Winky, Poo, Laalaa and Dipsy have to fight to keep tubbieland dust free and happy. Repeat scenario once, to make sure everyone has understood.
Genre: Pulp movies
Inspiration: Cheesy horror and sci-fi movies from the 50:s and 60:s
Plot: This adventure contains no male characters at all, just these five, tall, athletic women from outer space. They have decided to come to earth and enslave the human race due to a shortage of men on their own planet. They have simply worn the men out, and they need new ones.
Through a lucky (or unlucky, if you're a human male) shot, the amazon women have found a planet with highly evolved life, whose carbon based life is actually compatible with their own.
This has of course not been an easy thing to do, and the amazon women are actually accountable for various abductions and cattle mutilations.
The mission actually starts as a peace delegation, intent on asking the ruling forces of the planet if they can borrow some men for procreation, but upon arriving and seeing the earth government and patriarchal oppression that the women living there presently are put under, the amazon women decide to free earth from male influences.
This scenario may seem a bit feminist. and you know what? it IS! how's that for an admission. actually, this idea has got me thinking about a whole world arranged according to these principles. An amazon RPG, based on greek amazons, and a secret organization in present time, intent on returning the rule of the planet earth back into female hands.
Genre: Freeform
Inspiration: Smashing Pumpkins - Glass and the Ghost Children.
Plot:I had this idea of a woman, a drug addict who has three voices (well, four), there's the addiction, the intuition (god?) and the conscience. These four voices will battle about the sanity of the woman, and the truth about her.
I'm still not sure of the setting, but i want it to be hopeful, gritty and somehow true. This idea is still an infant idea, which means that i have no clue on how to proceed at the moment.
Genre: Unknown
Inspiration: Trial scenes from TV -shows and movies where the answer is never a given.
Plot:A Trial, the players are jury members. The scenario plays out the trial, using the same scenes but with subtle differences. The players will get to determine themselves what they believe in.
The accused is a member of the mafia, a hitman. Not entirely innocent, but perhaps innocent to the accusations that he or she is being prosecuted for.
The scenes should contain among others:
Genre: Freeform
Inspiration: American Gods, The Fire Within
Plot: "American Gods" inspired scenario. A rabble of gods having forgotten their past, are suddenly driven toward the same goal (some sort of disaster? Showdown with "evil" Gods or Gods of a different aspect?) and as they remember more and more of their past they're also empowered with their former strength. I'm also thinking Graham Watkins "The Fire Within".
It could be neat allowing the players to play both in present time and in the past at the height of their worship?
Genre: Gangster
Inspiration:
Plot: A cleaning company are hired to clean up after a party. The mission is extremely well paid, even for a really messy party. The company accepts the mission and the cleaners that are sent out are the player characters.
At the party site, which is indeed quite messy, a body is found. Apparently, the people arranging the party sent for a different kind of clean up crew.
