Title: Unsung: Sweeps Week (Session 4)
Post by: xiombarg on November 06, 2003, 12:48:36 AM
You might want to freshen up with the previous thread (http://www.indie-rpgs.com/viewtopic.php?t=8116).

This session was a lot more action-oriented and had less Gifts -- the idea was to test the core sytem a little more.

As before, the first link is the "narrative", slightly edited, and the second link is a slightly edited log of our out-of-character chatter.

I'm very interested in what people think of what went on.  I'd also love general comments about the game or the system. As a reminder, this is the system we're using:

Quite honestly, I had fun in this game.

Everything I had to say about it, though, I already said in the OOC section.

(Hell, I'm the one who called it a sweeps epsidode to begin with)

The highlight of the night was when all the buildings collapsed around the office building in the center.  Yum.  :)

Yes, that was the central event that I designed the session around. I wanted a situation similar to the SWAT movie, where the squad was isolated from support, so so had to hang together or fall apart under pressure, according to the personalites involved -- but with a terrorist angle.

It was a turning point for Ricky, I think. I think we'll see a less timid, more assertive young man from this point out. And one with definite opinions about the other team members. One's likley to get him into trouble? Probably.

What element did you particularly want to see more of? I also open that question up to the players...

And, yes, I think the last session was a turning point for Ricky, plus it further polarized the remaining squad members...
