RE: [reckoning] Re: inspiration on tv

screw tv...and the movies...and the latest piece of published shit catching
everyone's' eye(s)...the best stuff will come from inside your own
head...spend a little time thinking about your life and the lives of people
you know...inject a supranatural element -- whether it be ghost or 'were' or
vamp -- and imagine how your life, or the lives of people you know, would be
affected...leave out the friggin' damsels in distress...leave out the
muscular jock-asses...leave out wise and all-knowing mentors...also, leave
out beasties too big to fight, or too easily understood...don't be afraid to
stray far and wide from established canon.

here's an idea:

begin a new game...make your players play themselves (or characters very
close to themselves)...set the whole thing in THIS world, with one vital
exception...the DEMON scenario...leave out all the other standards of the
WoD...make it a DEMON-only world...play everything low-key and creepy with
lots of thralls, a few ambiguously aligned demon npc's and have one
earthbound sitting like cthulhu deep in the background, its presence felt
increasingly as the game unfolds but never actually encountered...'till
maybe the end.

let me know how it plays out... --henry's shade

I try to look for inspiration in the most unlikely of places. Take the hit show Survivor for instance. Imagine a hunter who has had to rely on his own...
