Revision as of 11:20, 25 December 2006
The following SGA games took place in 2003:
It Came From The Desert
- Game System
- Savage Worlds
- Pitch
- The 4-H club has taken it upon itself to ensure that America's children experience the blessed rugged heart of America: the Rockies. For a week, you've tromped around the mountains with a
posse of kids, seeing the spring waterfalls and the mountain goats and the bright, bright mountain stars. Now, you're exhausted, and it's time to get home.
- Home is Sweet Creek, Colorado, population 1043, which is, as the sign says, "the Pumpkin Capital of the Foothills." Sweet Creek is an All-American town. It's the home of test pilot Buck
Drinkwalter and the boxer Harold "Wide Mouth" Mason, and the A-league Sweet Creek Sweets.
- But alas, trouble struck on the road. The five of you -- the cheerleader, the nerd, the reporter, the social studies teacher, and the delinquent*--were riding in the teacher's Jeep when it blew out a tire. The spare was flat, and Mr. James in the school bus didn't seem to notice that you weren't behind him anymore. You had to walk fifteen miles to the next town to get a tow and a new tire, and that was this morning. What should have been a four-hour ride home has taken all day.
- Now, it's after suppertime, getting close to dark, when you round the last hill before Sweet Creek and see....
- Game Master
- Johnzo
- Players
- Wilhelm, Alan B., and others.
- Characters
- Alan B. had the teacher. I believe Wil had a reporter.
- Date
- Monday, Sept. 15, 2003 in Cardhaus' sweaty back room.
- Technical Notes
- This was all miniatures on whiteboards. The bugs were purchased at Archie McPhee's. I had ants and spiders and honeybees and locusts.
- Recaps
The bugs attacked while the flat was half-changed. There was a bridge involved. Weapons were improvised from a high-school chem lab. At one point, the bugs tore a rag top off a car and feasted on the soft, chewy innards.
- Player Thoughts
- Additional GM Thoughts
TORG
- Game System
- Pitch
- Anybody up for Monday TORG?
- There'll be jungle mist, monster trucks, one of those big firefighting seaplanes, dinosaurs, a mountain lake hideaway, an Egyptian megalomaniac, ticking bombs, shootouts, swordfights, and, provisionally, syphillis.
- Characters will be provided. All you need bring is a d20.
Syphilis? I have no goddamn idea what I was thinking when I sent this out.
- Game Master
- Johnzo
- Players
- Laura, Matt Wilson, and others.
- Characters
- A bunch of templated guys. I remember there was a lizardman and a mountie. Maybe a wizard too.
- Date
- Monday, May 19, 2003
- Technical Notes
- Recaps
- There wasn't much to this scenario. It was just a tryout of the rules with several combat scenes, seeing how the oddball cards worked, etc. The rules seemed to work fine.
- The only concrete thing I remember was that the lizardman came with a minigun that did completely ridiculous damage--it sawed a tyranosaur in half with one shot. Plus there was a helicopter shootdown too.
- Player Thoughts
- Additional GM Thoughts
- Torg had long been a bridesmaid game of mine so it was fun to try it out. Maybe TORG in 2006?
