Small Sailing Diagram

handful of ideas for places that We know

I had the opportunity to read dozens of different scenarios to role-playing games, but only a few I led. The reasons were various, and rather it is not, the quality of the same scenarios. Because I just play in another system, or do not fit into the campaign of played out. However, always read the scenarios capture the interesting ideas, topics, scenes, descriptions of places and even write in a specially reserved for that minikajeciku. Then I use more than once in their sessions. So instead of a scenario will share a few ideas that I will be illustrated with examples from their own sessions.

first patent, which have not once heard given, as a matter of course to save his own and one's ideas on later . Especially when watching movies or reading books. I even wear your notebook to class or work, sometimes is useful.

My second proposal is played at the session, which is known to us and our players. The club, workplace, school, pub, theater, hospital. Long might have been exchanged. Those of us use in our sessions, we introduce to them the characters and let's make our colleagues began to look at them in new ways. An additional advantage is that the players knowing these places often pile their ideas such as "I know that the neighborhood is a shop, so I'm going to buy .."
system that best suited to that I think is "The Call of Cthulhu", but fought well during the session also NWoD, Vampire, Werewolf. Did not use this at this point in cyberpunk, but I think that it would not be a problem.

This need not necessarily be a place where you live. Are you away somewhere with the players, whether in the mountains or at the convention, and they want you to do something he led? Lead them to sessions in a place where you are using things that had a chance to see. If it does not fit into the campaign was conducted by proposes to play jednostrzałówkę.

I will use an example of my session, when the players sought Zevi younger cousin of one of the characters. The trail led to one of the university, which some players attend. Before the session I went to this place in search of inspiration. Even after the entry into one corner I saw a wooden sculpture of men facing in four directions. I think that the artist was inspired by the Slavic god Światowidzie. I decided that my players will meet in session with the cult of the Slavic gods residing in the university. Students, professors, the lady from the dean's office, were all implicated in it.

In turn, the next session of the balance went to other universities, which also attended by my players. At the entrance stood a statue of a jaguar. The animal is more fit than the Aztec mythology, Slavic, so I decided not to use this item. But on the first floor was a small exhibition of statues depicting human figures or faces connected to the gear wheels, or iron (What the artists did not invent). During the sessions in these fetishes were trapped souls of people who already know something about the cult, and they should not. In this way, the great scene where the players try after performing the ritual to extract information from figures, which are mutually przekrzykiwały and begging for release.

further searched a few places in which my colleagues have never been, but we hit them there characters. Surely each of you despite the fact that sometimes a daily basis in a shop / supermarket was never on his back, or never was in the basement, where he works. Meeting the shop may be a meeting place for the black market, or a magazine for the filthy artifacts. Basement - catacombs, in which so easily get lost, a place where they suspected human experiments, full of deformed beings. In one such meeting the players found in jars of strange creatures and vile forms (remember to frequently during sessions Cthulu often use the word filthy), old books written in an incomprehensible language, symbols on the walls and floor. So everything should be found in the seat of a dark cult.

One of the tricks, which creates a great atmosphere in the sessions of ZC is brought before them, inexplicable phenomena. Based on the same well-known popular television series LOST. Whole seasons where people are waiting for a reply, which never really had to get. Well, when even getting in its place appeared the next two puzzles.

My players have been in contact with such a situation, when they came to one of the lectures to ask a few questions, the professor. This, however, asked them not to disturb him in the class and waited outside until the end. The players waited for him for very long, and finally looked in the hall, which turned out to be empty. Thoroughly searched every corner, but from the hall there was no other way besides guarded by them. To tweak a little more atmosphere at the desk were the spectacles through which the eyes could see the places students swaying shadows of people.

phenomenon could be explained a ritual or a secret passage, but only later with the development of the investigation. Let the players get over this head. The game does not get stuck in place and the players by the end of the session did not try to unravel the mystery, which even I do not know the answer pushed a little action. The room came another professor with students who had to lead the next lecture. The players showered him dozens of questions that could not answer. Shadows, which tried to show him gone. The only information we have drawn from the professor that if you want to meet the doctor to go to the dean's office.

Well, looks like the ladies from the dean's office everyone knows. However, if someone does not know enough to see a pair of clips on You Tube and enter the Dean's Office. I write only so much that while players have won the address of a professor, but after leaving the dean's office thought only how to kill the nice lady behind the desk, and after the sessions were convinced that it is she is at the forefront of all this intrigue, or even the incarnation of the Eternal. The role of this form in the absence of the dean's office, you can always put a guard or a security guard or receptionist who has a strictly necessary information.

second such situation was when you found the corpse of a man. There would be nothing unusual had just before 5 minutes had not mentioned them a few sentences and let them through the intercom. Well, and when one player was with him alone rose from his chair and grabbed his hand. The story ended when the player's character driven back by ambulance to the hospital because of heart attack. For players not too attracted to unraveling the mystery of the deceased I make the body disappeared. Besides, even later imparted to another scene in which was equipped with a pair of extra tentacles.

proceed to the next question. Players came to the professor's house, broke into it and thoroughly searched. In the basement they found a pale figure of a woman, umazanej blood, with abnormally long fingernails and feet ... just bane of Slavic beliefs. Then somehow my players would not interfere with abnormality of women, despite giving them several times to know that it breached its space is not a good idea. Bane killed when the characters and the players went to the house, being sure that this is the end of the game and for the week doing new characters. But at the next session I gave them a penalty as the police, which reported seeing a woman break into his neighbor. On the spot they found a remarkable mess of burglary, three corpses in the basement. Three dead after seeing that I figured out that just found their old characters. Regrets that I did not have the camera then, because the players faces were priceless. But it is important to describe everything in such a way that players are seeing the body just figured out who they are denaci.

Completion takes place at a well-known to us, oak. My whole team, not once sat in this tree to talk, spending time with friends. At a session at this point cultists summoning ritual celebrated Abhoth (sect alone can not fully know what it invokes, only that something powerful.) Retrieved from impurities appeared springs from tree holes, on the occasion of consuming a few cultists. Players finally succeeded with the help of a few police officers to perform the ritual banishing idol and catch part of the cultists. At the end of p rzełożony, after reading the report devoted to him players and police officers who survived, he had a safe holiday to a psychiatric institution.
