Game: SWADE

Setting: Weird War I

[https://forum.rpg.net/index.php?threads/swade-weird-war-i-recruitment-development.935417/ Recruitment thread]

== Scenario ==

You are part of a multi-national Allied unit that specializes, and has experience in, the weird things that have been occurring here and there during the war. When someone screams and insists they saw something horrible or strange, you know that there's a possibility they're telling the truth.

Russian command and forces on the eastern front have been particularly perturbed by the supernatural things they've seen during the course of the war. A particular Russian general, Brusilov, was even documented to use supernatural means in a June offensive on the Eastern Front a couple months earlier, causing much discontent and laying the supernatural more bare.

It's another Russian general that has sent you to Romania to investigate a weird fog that has settled in a forested valley in the Carpathian Mountains. There, nestled in the mountains itself, is a mysterious castle whose history has been lost to time. The fog is thickest near the castle itself, and in the tiny forest villages and guard towers scattered throughout the valley there have been reports of attacks by mysterious assailants. Some villages have gone silent, and those who have gotten a hint of the attackers report them wearing vaguely Roman-esque style helmets, the ones with the red crests arching along the top, while they fire from the concealment of the primeval trees.

== Rules ==

; Initiative
* Everyone draws initiative cards as normal to give the possibility of effects to trigger
* Each side's Initiative is the average value of their cards, starting from Aces which are 13 down to Twos which are 2. Each side may be separated into groups that have their own roll and go in their own order. Highest average goes first. Jokers can act whenever they want.
** Hesitant is handled either with the first point or second point below, player's choice, with the most likely handling to be the first point for simplicity.
*** Hesitant characters always goes last in the Initiative order
*** Hesitant characters draw two cards and choose the lowest, as normal, but in initiative they only act after the character/group that drew the higher card.

; Gear
* Weird War I equipment allotment, plus $50 for equipment that can fit in a backpack. Some flexibility here for the taste and experience level of the characters.

; Setting Rules
* Creative Combat

; Fear and Sanity
* Sanity and Fear works as presented in the Weird War I player's book, with the addition that the player of a failed Fear roll also rolls on the core SWADE Fear table
* Some characters may be extra hardened against Fear and their mechanical bonuses against Fear stack.

[[File:Girasola001.png | right ]]

A player character in [[SWADE: Out of the Badlands]].

Girasola, or Sunny to friends and family, is an odd ray of sunshine. Surprisingly tall, kinda lanky, perpetually listless; she doesn't talk often and gets wicked sarcastic when she does, but she actually really likes people and is very chill and friendly as long as you don't make her run or work or anything silly like that. She suffers from a congenital lung condition that makes her easily winded and gets worse the longer she stays out of the Dust, which she keeps in check by carrying a pouch of Dust on her that she uses like snuff.

A duster girl born to duster parents, Sunny grew up hunting weird game in the badlands, knows the wild better than anyone and speaks Ting like a Dustling. She loves to travel, and originally got herself hired onto [[Airship:_The_Black_Sheep | the Black Sheep]] 'cos it saves her a bunch of walking.

== Complications ==

'''Motive: Survival''' - The Kid wants to survive, and knows that there's safety in numbers; they also know that if the V'sorri had any idea of what a K'nid was, they might be tempted to glass a continent to be sure of eliminating the threat. (Not that one K'nid would be a threat, but in a few generations...)

'''Reputation:''' The Vicious Kid is a known criminal with a distinctive appearance, and known for being violent, too.

'''Reputation: K'nid''' - Any V'sori who has learned anything about the star Vermes and the Khanid will know what the Kid is, and what that implies, including the potential that the Kid, when fully grown, could start reproducing. One K'nid might be a small danger, but thousands of them...

== History ==

60,000,000 light years from Earth, in the Virgo cluster, lies the star Vermes. Vermes has many planets; they were once inhabited by a wide array of life forms, but one of them, the Khanid, wished to conquer the other planets; to this end, they created a biological weapon, an artificial life-form that lived in the vacuum of space, The creatures were horrifying, shapeshifters that could enter any structure through the smallest of cracks and devour anything inside. But the Khanid had made them too well—their creations were fully sapient, able to defeat the holds that they had been created with and soon were likely to wipe out every other form of life in the entire solar system.

On Earth, researchers Jason and Travis Lee had developed a deep-space warp probe that they hoped would bring them a sample of matter of some kind of life from deep space—the Virgo Cluster, in fact. They came away with the "egg" of one of the XX?!?!? (As space dwellers, they have no spoken language, and their creators never really named them. Their victims named them for a shortening of the Khanid name — K'nid — but the name means nothing to the creatures themselves.) They kept the egg, and when it hatched, attempted to raise the being as their own child.

This had mixed success. The child they named "Kelly Lee" was clever, precocious, and able to mimic a humanoid form in a relatively short period of time, later learning ASL as a way to communicate with humans. But Kelly's instincts were still dangerous; her hunger was still ever-present. She was still fond of her adoptive parents but ran away from home to explore her predatory nature. She was taken in by the supervillain Fagin, who kept a stable of young superbeings who he trained as criminals, exploiting them in many ways for his own purposes, calling her the Vicious Kid. He often talked freely around her since she was, at the time, deaf, but did not realize that she eventually figured out how to make simple eardrums to understand human spoken language. This was a fatal error; Kelly realized how completely he was exploiting the children, and she retaliated by eating him. Like most of the other children, she struck out on her own, and then the world ended...

[[ToG_Necessary_Evil| Back to Main Page]]

An undying witch-lord of an antediluvian race, imprisoned in another world by Atlantean heroes untold ages ago when he sought to conquer their realm. After endless aeons of captivity, the seals of his subdimensional oubliette were finally broken by the ravages of the V'sori invasion, setting him free again to vent his long overdue wrath on ancient enemy and new rival alike!

Xanathor is a brooding, scheming megalomaniac, mercurial, grandiloquent, theatrical - nay, ''operatic'' - and absolutely obsessed with chewing the scenery. Nothing was ever thrust upon him, no fate forced his hand; he chose the villain life and loves every minute of it.

[[file:Xanathor.png|right|thumb|400px]]

An undying sorcerer-scientist of an antediluvian race, once imprisoned by Atlantean heroes when he sought to conquer their realm. After aeons of captivity his subdimensional oubliette was finally broken by the ravages of the V'sori invasion, setting him free again to vent his long overdue wrath on ancient enemy and new rival alike.

Xanathor is a brooding, scheming megalomaniac, mercurial, grandiloquent, theatrical - nay, ''operatic'' - and absolutely obsessed with chewing the scenery. Nothing was ever thrust upon him, no fate forced his hand; he chose the villain life and loves every minute of it.
