Re: Star Wars
In reply to BlueDwarf (msg # 554):
Less about scaring the players and more about the overall tone of the world. Think Berserk meets Supernatural. Most of the world stopped believing in monsters, but they still exist and still pose a threat. You then have the Church that runs the country doing everything to make sure people still think monsters don't exist, to the point of wiping out towns.
You would play a Hunter, one of the few who knows the truth and managed to live. Maybe you know some incantation magic, or follow the God Gaia and capable of druidic magic, or one of the few touched by Uni capable of casting miracles but not forced into the church or, worse, killed by them, or just a normal person more capable than others.
You work for an Organization that has been battling the darkness for centuries while also trying to free the country from the grasp of the Church. The religion itself is not evil, but the ones that run it are, and the God of the religion does not care as long as you follow its dogma.
The first mission is to investigate Willow Town, figure out what is going to happen and stop it. You will have a few starting clues and people to help. The Church has a presence in town so you will want to be as covert as possible since, if they find out, it would only be a matter of a few days before the inquisition shows up and Willow Town disappears.
