Well after getting together with a good friend and my co-authors,
we decided to start the night with a very special campaign known as the Slacker Campaign.
This campaign uses
the Basic Role-Playing System (BRP) a simple yet effective
percentile based system.
The setting is a
simple town of no importance and the characters all essentially the biggest
losers imaginable. Each character got to choose 4 "Slacker" skills.
(Mine were: Craft 80's Haircut, Professional Air Guitar, Shoveling,
and Drive Unmarked Delivery Van)
After meeting our
good friend Rex (NPC) at his workplace (run down movie rental place) we were
drawn into a very uncomfortable situation by a man who used
excrement to power his mystical spells. We used the man's DVD-Case Golem
as a distraction in order to acquire salt to fight the man's slug infested
enemies. Sticking to our characters inability to deal with life they simple
fled home to one of the characters grandmother's basements. I'll leave the story
there since I'm sure you can tell just how unserious this story line
was.
The campaign was
meant to pull us away from the normal settings we have been running lately and
it did this in a very unexpected and yet delightful way. You should know that we
finished the campaign by defeating the slug like creatures in a battle of the
Air-Bands competition where our characters used the power of Dragonforce-Through the Fire and
Flames, to destroy the bar and the monsters alike.
Oh if you expected
to see anything resembling normal on this page I'm terribly sorry
to disappoint you. - Matt
