remember how Strider and the rangers are regarded with fear and suspicion by the Breelanders at the Prancing Pony, mostly just because they come and go irregularly, are armed, and don’t openly discuss their business, which probably wouldn’t be understood even if they did? or how many people in the Shire, Rohan, and Gondor are wary of Gandalf, because he usually shows up when there’s trouble, not understanding the difference between causing trouble and trying to prevent it?
It’s a meta RPG. Basically, after you wrap your session of D&D, where the players raided a dungeon, killed all the kobolds and hauled up some loot, you start your session of Power Kill.
The players, as their new Power Kill identities, are gathered together in a group therapy session. There the DM, as the counsellor, walks them through the horrific series of crimes that resulted in their being institutionalized; how they - apparently in a delusional fugue state - entered an apartment building and moved from room to room slaughtering the occupants and looting any valuables they could find before leaving and attempting to sell most of their haul at a nearby pawn shop.
But don’t worry… We’re here to make you better.
Note: This also works with a tonne of other games; VtM, Cyberpunk Red, any superhero game, Call of Cthulhu, Unknown Armies… It’s completely system agnostic, but provides wildly different experiences depending on what you bolt it onto.
counterpoint: imagine you’re in a pizza joint and someone walks in and leaves you a hundo and asks “hey, you know where i can get some tools to alter my consciousness?”
yeah i’m telling my manager you gave me 20 to hook you up with some drugs here’s the 20 and please give you some drugs
Just sounds like an actual event from the US. The group is a bunch of MAGAs trying to kill the “libtard mayor”
That just sounds like a Waffle House in Florida or something, except instead of $500, it’s drugs.
To be fair I know where my Mayor lives, he lives at East End Ave at 88th St :3
Would fit right in in a cyberpunk setting.
