Weldun Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 What's the strangest method of generating a plot that you've come across for a Champions game? Mine would have to be my GM drawing a random assortment of Illuminati: New World Order cards. Personally, I'm glad he never drew Margaret Thatcher. That would have just been too cruel and unusual an encounter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdamLeisemann Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 Re: Strangest "Plot Generator" Well, I've been collecting messages from Fortune Cookies in hopes of using those to generate a seed for adventures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supreme Serpent Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 Re: Strangest "Plot Generator" Illuminati cards are good. I have a friend who used those, and also kept a large collection of Weekly World News headlines clipped out to use. "Ok...giant bugs...aliens...Graceland! Check!" Haven't seen the Fortune Cookie idea used yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the only newspaper that told the truth. That's why they had to shut it down. I miss it a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoloOfEarth Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 Re: Strangest "Plot Generator" I've found you can generate some strange plots just listening to your players. I told one player her PC's boyfriend had been acting a bit strange lately, to which she replied, "What, like he's working for VIPER now?" Guess what, I thought, he is now... In one of my campaign worlds, set in Millennium City, Foxbat had stolen a VIPER VTOL aircraft capable of turning invisible. Also, the city had the Boblo Blimp (a tour airship with small casino, restaurant, etc.). During one adventure where Foxbat was trying to rob the airborne casino, a player commented, "It looks like the Foxbat Flier is trying to mate with the Boblo Blimp." A few months later, the heroes read in the news about a miniature airship flying all over the city, turning visible then invisible again.

Captain Obvious Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 Re: Strangest "Plot Generator" 2008 BUCHAREST, Romania — Vampires realize that the blood of tuna fish suits their macabre nutritional requirements as effectively as human blood. The undead begin lurking near the shores of the Black Sea, sucking fish dry and discreetly throwing their bodies into the water. 2009 BUCHAREST, Romania — An unexpected side effect of the new vampiric diet occurs when the discarded fish themselves return to life as vampires. The fishing industry comes to an abrupt halt while authorities try to capture and kill the thousands of bloodthirsty ‘nosferatuna.’ There's a modern fantasy adventure if I've ever seen one.
