29) Most memorable ENCOUNTER

2014 answers, negative and positive. Captain Rugged is a much loved strange anecdote, with the players taking a session in a highly surprising new direction.

More recently, a Vampire: The Masquerade chronicle got to Christmas and I had one of the PCs come across a vampire elder hunting a pregnant woman in his domain. As the PCs tried to get her to safety, they went to a shelter. The Malkavian PC (prone to supernatural visions but also sensory hallucinations) saw that the volunteer at the door was an angel. She figured this was a hallucination and didn’t mention it to anyone.

Image borrowed from a game called DARK.
Which seems only fair considering how much it borrows from VTM.


One word prompt

29) ENCOUNTER

How would you run a game like Close Encounters Of The Third Kind? Ordinary people in extraordinary situations, but while at times scary as the unknown it’s actually a good thing they want to get to? Probably not sustainable for long, but could be an interesting change of pace.

    Craig Oxbrow an angel, since its you, were they a divine or a Buffy Angel 😉 "I wish I had an angel, For one moment of love"
    Interesting answer to the prompt, I've run something that is close, so I'll write a bit about that. 🙂

    A straight-up angel, who could have been more help if asked. Thanks!
