Currently unused game concepts I'd like to run.

Contents

[edit] Exalted - Feathers of Gold


The Usurpation was delayed, and tragedy unified Heaven. The Jade Prison was tossed into the Wyld. The Lunars held position and wage cold war from the Blessed Isle, while the Thousand Kingdoms of the Terrestrials are left to defend the Threshold with the technology of their former superiors.

Planning for the Second Balorian Crusade has released the Solar Exaltations, no less great, but irrevocably changed. The new Age is coming; who will tell your story?

"Savage Adventure" + "Beautiful Madness" + Cyberpunk + John le Carré + a very large blender on frappé.

[edit] Exalted - Western Crossing


The mythology of the sea is as old as mankind: the temptation of new lands, total freedom, and immense danger. A small group of ordinary people wakes up on a ship, memories piecemeal, and for some reason, the shore they knew just isn't there anymore...

Crossover, mystery/vanilla Exalted.

[edit] Exalted - One Thousand and One Nights


There's an old story in Yu-Shan that the Sidereal Exaltations were made from powerful threads from the Loom- twenty epic journeys, twenty great secrets, etc.. No one other than those involved know if it's true, of course, but it raises an interesting question- Exaltations are, as far as anyone knows, made from the stored power of their respective deities.

If the Maidens gave up part of the Loom, and Gaia gave up parts of herself, what did the Sun and Moon have to sacrifice to win the Primordial War?

Somewhat dark adventure. Probably elder-level.

[edit] Exalted - Raise Your Fists And Crush Eternity


A slightly AU tale involving late-Shogunate-era Abyss-tainted Sid shards as the PCs, the few remaining Solars, and places that existed prior to the Balorian Crusade. What would you do if you knew the Contagion was coming?

Do I need to say "dark"? It's dark.

[edit] Ex/nWoD - Biggest Game Of Spinning Plates In All Creation


Strange things keep popping out of the woodwork, though most of them seem to be trying to repay you favors. On the other hand, the ones that don't are pretty goddamn pissed at you, and it's just getting worse. What the hell did you do in your last life, rape puppies for a living?

Mortals to Sids, semi-AU, optimistic tragedy- the world's come close to hitting rock bottom, so the only way to go is up, right?

[edit] Mortal - Devil Came Down


It's a quiet little Georgia town, thirty miles from anything that can really be called civilization. How convenient!

Horror, any flavor. Possibly all flavors.

[edit] Changeling - Gauntlet


Congratulations! You have been chosen the most wonderful honor. Would you like to save the game?

For whatever reason, your Keeper has pawned you off on someone else. The good news is, if you make it through this, you get to go home! No, really. The bad news is, "this" is an unholy combination of mythology, ancient video games, and even more ancient DnD modules. Good luck, Player!

Adventure; precise amount of seriousness of the game to be determined. Altered chargen rules (obviously).

[edit] Changeling - Hedge Your Bets


It's the week of the St. Valentine's Day massacre, but the photos have all been shut up, until the police figure out some minor oddities with the corpses...

It seemed like the perfect scheme: Spring runs the parties, Winter does the shipping, Summer does the enforcing, and Autumn is betting on those damned magicians having something to do with ruining it.

Mobster-movie/occult mystery/massive amount of combat hacks that (usually) magically disappear around mortals.

[edit] Changeling - Let's Play Changeling: the Lost


The basic setup is pretty much what it sounds like: the forum suggests names, roles, and other silly things as if it were a computer RPG LP, we run a game on IRC wherein the PCs have just been dragged into Arcadia, logs get posted with hilarious commentary.

General mix of humor, adventure, and horror. Meta encouraged. I will probably be trying to fuck with everyone involved on multiple levels.

[edit] Mage - Vive la Terreur


What was once a Free Council coup has been taken over by the Scelesti, and now forces far greater than France can handle manipulate her from the shadows. The Paris Consilium is scattered and betrayed, and the Awakened are hunted, but if the cabals can't get their act together, internal problems won't even be on the map- and neither will France.

AH/drama/horror.

[edit] Mage - Early Days of a Better Nation


New England, January 1st, 1800. Luminaries the world over, Mage, Sleepwalker, and otherwise-minded, meet for the first annual Silver Ladder-run Exhibition of Ideals. God save the planning committee.

Sequel to Vive la Terreur. AH/history geeking/politics, likely with some adventure in the later arcs.

[edit] Mage - The Year Without a Summer


And they did live by watchfires--and the thrones,
The palaces of crowned kings--the huts,
The habitations of all things which dwell,
Were burnt for beacons...

1816- the year that inspired Frankenstein, the Vampyre, and the Book of Mormon, among other things. Sequel to Early Days and the culmination of the trilogy, swinging back towards horror.

[edit] Vampire - Seventh Kingdom


The Predator's Taint isn't functioning. Old prophecies resurface from the Lancea Sanctum. Things are breaking. Undead society seems to be going to hell- in some cases, literally. It all has something to do with VII. Going to do anything about it?

Mystery/Surreal.

[edit] Heroic Mortals (Exalted) - Border


Some poncy-ass shiny-person and their band of extras wants to take over your tiny village-nation, carve their face in a couple of things, and make it the center of their glorious new empire. Are you just going to take this lying down?

Adventure/War.
