102 Cyberhell

Friday 6 PM in 163 for 8 hours
Room Map
GM: Matt Morrison
Type: RPG
System: Dungeons & Dragons 1st/3rd Hybrid
Players: 8

Power Level: 10th-15th
Variations: Will accomidate 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 5th Ed chars
Rules Knowledge: Useful
Game Content: Mainstream

igil, center of the Multiverse, has vanished. The Astral Plane has become Evil-aligned and corrosive, literally dissolving the Mutiverse where connections open at points in Outer Planes or Prime Material. Rumors abound the Arch-Fiend Lucifer, Prince of Darkness and Evil, is free from his icy, Inferno prison.

A band of heroes magically appears before an odd-looking, robed person who whispers, 'You must go DIRECTLY to Hell...'

Cyberhell is inspired and skinned over portions of Geoffry O. Dale's 'Journey through Malebolge' which is, in turn, Dale's modern imagining of his old 1980 Judges Guild product, 'Inferno' - believed deadlier even than the original 'Tomb of Horrors!' My 'skin' of Cyberhell is loosely based on a home brewed scenario from the mid-1990s by my good friend, Sick Rick.

I will run the adventure with my own blended 1e/3e hybrid rules which, in general, utilizes d6 'party' initiative, and de-emphesizes skill checks in favor of race and class abilities. Otherwise, the saving throws, magic, and combat rules are essentially 3rd/3.5 edition.

There is no need to update your character sheet into a new rules version. In this game I'll mostly translate where necessary on the fly into my hybrid rules. However, I will accommodate 3rd Ed. and 5th Ed. skills where appropriate, as well as potential 1st/2nd Ed. saving throws and abilities. The goal being to give adventurers best possible chances versus an EXTREMELY deadly environment. Situationally, if you can pull an imaginative idea from any set of rules that might save the party, we'll roll with it!

That said, please make sure yours is a high-level character you yourself have run, from 1st level to whatever. It may be that the character has collected dust, but we'd like as least some memories as to the limits of what your character can do existing somewhere in the old noggin.

Also, please bring whatever rule books you use to run your character including Players Handbook and DM's Guide. I will bring my old 1st Ed. AD&D books, my 1e/3.5 Hybrid rules, and the 5th Ed. Basic Rules for my own reference.

Lastly, please bring your own set of dice. A character miniature would be cool, but not required.

December, 1944. As the nights grow longer, war-torn Europe slows to an uneasy winter stalemate - until Hitler's last gamble for victory is unleashed through the forests of the Ardennes. For the unsuspecting American forces this desperate 'Battle of the Bulge' will become the single greatest fight of their war.

But it won't be your fight. Separated from your respective units during the initial attack, you stumble through the forested night, hopelessly lost behind enemy lines. As chill and exhaustion creep through your bones and you can't take another step, there's a light through the trees...

Nemesis utilizes the One Roll Engine. It's the power light, horror flavored variation on Wild Talents and Godlike and this is a game of investigative horror. Expect to play ordinary soldiers, nurses, and resistance operatives, confronted by extraordinary circumstances.

105 Death Comes to Duvall

GM: Matt Steele

System: Cypher System - The Strange
Edition: 1st
Players: 6

Power Level: Estate Agents
Rules Knowledge: Beginners Welcome
Game Content: Mature Themes

The Estate dispatches operatives to Duvall, Michigan (population 1,200). Once a thriving iron-smelting town on the shores of Lake Huron, Duval has fallen on hard times, much like Detroit and Flint to the south. The Estate fears that something Strange related is happening in the small town. Residents report odd sounds and weird lights at night, alarming smells, and most worryingly, a rash of suicides by Duvall residents.

Your group of operatives is sent out on its first official investigation to learn if the activity is Strange related, and if so, to put a stop to it.

Note: This is a variation on a published scenario for The Strange.

About The Strange: Beneath our universe lies a chaotic network of dark energy called the Strange. Few know or even suspect its existence, but for those who have discovered it, everything is different. These select few know the Strange hosts numberless recursions, unique but limited worlds with their own laws of reality.

You are quickened - one of the few on Earth aware of the Strange and able to access the alternate realities that lie in Earth's shoals. You know these worlds are often governed by rules of physics, science, or even magic that are different that our own. You know they often hold powerful artifacts that can bend reality back on Earth. And that they contain dangers unlike anything back home.

To the world at large, the Estate is a philanthropic institute interested in funding research in several scientific fields of inquiry. While that's partly true, the Estate's actual goal is to protect the Earth- and all of its life forms - from all threats to its existence from the Strange. As one of only a handful of organizations cognizant of the dark energy network, the Estate is uniquely positioned to deal with the threats the Strange represents. Operatives have several goals, including investigating any events that could be related to the dark energy network.

Little Boy Blue's heroic sacrifice has finally revealed the Adversary's true identity. And the time has come to reclaim the Homelands. Once more into the breach, dear friends, once more.

The special team of 'tourists' from Fable Town have been tasked with their most important, and possibly final, mission. To gather vital intelligence to aid the war against the The Adversary. Along the way they will be challenged by all of the forces their enemy can bring to bear. And they will be faced with a decision that could turn the tide of the conflict one way or the other.

GM Notes:
After several years since the last installment of my take on Bill Willingham's 'Fables' world, the time has come to once more take on the roles of well-known characters that were not featured in Willingham's stories. Among them are player favorites such as two reformed villains: Captain Hook and The Wicked Witch of the West.

Prior knowledge of the Fables comics by Bill Willingham is not necessary, but you're missing out on a good read.

The Nebula Valley is emerging from a sinister era of monstrous creatures and darkness. A thick fog lingers, covering much of the landscape, concealing treasures and opportunities untold. You are a brave adventurer, and it is your job to return Nebula Valley to its former greatness. Travel forests and meadows, unveil new resources, and build up society so the people of Nebula can live in peace and prosperity once again.

Via Nebula is a strategic board game in which two to four players compete to rebuild Nebula as it recovers from a dark and fearsome age. Venture out into the fog in search of resources so that you may build up the commerce, government, and faith of a disheartened people. Develop what they need before your opponents and you will be rewarded with glory, prestige, and riches. Whoever has most successfully restored the towns and buildings of the region at the end of the game wins!

Contracts and their Requirements

The needs of Nebula are communicated to you through both neutral and private contracts, set forth by the region's citizens. At the beginning of the game, you will be given two private contracts to fulfill individually, while neutral contracts will be displayed openly on the board. Both types of contracts may require any number of the five resources: wood, food, stone, clay, and wheat. Because neutral contracts are available to everyone, it pays to complete them quickly, or the contract you have your eye on may be fulfilled before you get to it.

Clotho, Lachesis and Atropos had to find other employment when the Greek pantheon wasn't renewed for its 878th season. They chose second careers in publishing, and they've done quite well for centuries, thank you very much. Hardly a problem at all, if one didn't count dealing with mortal authors, who tend to suffer from an appalling lack of confidence coupled with egos the size of Zeus. And cluless about the real ways of the universe! But never mind. This isn't about them--it's about their characters. That would be you.

Play Hannibal (Supernatural), Lucia (Spaghetti Western), Dash (Noir Detective), Cuthbert (Elder Gods), Tommie (Superhero) or Merrillee (Plucky Contemporary Romance). You inhabit the netherworld of unpublished genre fiction, which means you know the world of the MS as written, but as a little bit of every author escapes into their characters, you also have at least some sense of the real world as well. Enough to speak and understand the basics, anyway. Not that you have to worry too much. it's not like you're going to come to life standing on Market Street in the middle of San Francisco.

That would be too easy.

Well, look on the bright side. You're going to meet interesting people from a variety of backgrounds, all of them just as befuddled as you are, and all of you thrust into a milieu none of you expected. You still get to save the princess. Or the world. Or 88¢ on a quart of milk. Not even poor Lachesis knows for sure--she gave up prognostication so long ago, she's lost count of the generations. And with all this paper scattered all over the floor, it's pretty much the last thing on her mind. Well, no, it's not on her mind at all. She's a Greek 'goddess' emeritus, and you're not even muses. Bummer. Okay, work it out.

In the not-so-distant future, advancements in cybernetics and nanotechnology have brought humanity to the brink of machine integration. However, like all modern technology before it, such wonders are only within reach of the rich and powerful.

Cybernetic organisms have been deployed among humans for some time, and AI development has become so incredibly complex that the world has already undergone some very big changes. What makes this development so much more than all the others before?

That's a good question, and one that is starting a body count.

This is a two part game. The first part will be for learning the system, creating a character, and playing the first act. The second part will be the second act and wrap-up. You do not have to be in the first game to play in the second.
