A Time of Legends
It was an era of heroes. Knights in shining armour, Priests of Battle, Mages fighting for the side of truth, Thieves reformed and heroic, Rangers tall and mysterious. It was your era. Together you cleared the woods of goblins, the dungeons of dragons, the temples of dark clerics and the plains of griffins. Together you made the world safe.Thirty years later, an era is over. In the year of the Saint 999, the signs show things coming to an end.
The goblins have returned in hordes. Yet they are not pillaging, they are trading.
The children of wyverns stalk their ancient ruins - yet they are teaching, not burning.
Witches tell truths you do not want to hear.
The world has changed and there is no place for the heroes of yesterday.
Yet there are prophecies to uphold. The millennium comes, the signs are there, the portents bold.
A five player one session module inspired by AD&D and Alan Moores Watchmen.
By Morgan Morningstar.
"The truth is that there has never been any line at all between the
hunter and the hunted. The tiniest creatures on earth are preyed upon
by insects that still can't be seen by the naked eye. They are fed on
by larger insects and these by birds, frogs, lizards. Then come the
small game or the grazing creatures and finally those that we think of
as the hunters; lions, wolves. Humans. And are these the end of the
chain? No. Cut us open, examine our stomachs, our lungs, our hearts
and you will find some of the tiniest creatures on earth. It is a
circle. The circle of life. The circle of the hunter and the
hunted."
-Professor D. Kirke in a seminar at the University of New England.
"That guy is a wanker."
-Jeremy in a conversation in the lounge room.

Out of the ashes of civilization they built the basis for a new society. One based on the ideals of Community, Order, Stability and Productivity. A dream society where there was a place for everything and everything in its place. They would succeed where others had failed.

2052, Any Ghetto U.S.A.......
Vicious Snow. The plague of the ghettos. The scourge of the streets. Mr Big's been dealin' the shit to every young brutha who's down in the hood.
Vicious Snow, the smokinest, flyest high you could possibly imagine. So fly that all the homeboys be soarin' -- but more addictive than an Isaac Hayes Remix on vinyl. And if that ain't enough, it's an autodipegmentor. Dat's right -- it be turning all the bruthas white as snow.
You ever seen a black guy with white skin? Man, those whiteys look bad enough, but it's damn hard for a brutha to deal with. You know those white guys who think they look cool with an afro? Yeah, I knew you'd get where I was comin' from.
So it's down to Blak Pantha, Leeta Jones, Ho'King, Slade and the unstoppable, aerodynamic Tae Kwon Joe to stop them. Wade through cannon fodder white guys! Feel the excitement of wielding a BIG mo-fo gun!! Deal justice your own way! Kick it to the man! Look good in a big purple suit!
Blax. Cyber enhanced black guys kicking ass and looking cool. Cuz baby, you ain't seen nuthin' yet.

Demolition by Proxy
In the year 2040, the latest hobby for the jaded and wealthy is the SQUID (Superconducting Quantum Interference Device) - a device that lets you see, feel and experience the life of another.
Murder is still illegal. The penalty - Demolition.
Thats not going to stop you (but we are). Five wealthy youths (five stranded victims), tired of everyday pleasure and everyday drugs have become addicted to K47, a mind altering drug that kills the host slowly and painfully.
Thats okay though - thanks to the SQUID, you don't have to take the drug - thats for the street trash you manipulate (we're all dying?).
Addiction, Delusion and Death by Proxy.
A 1 session multiform for five youths who want to experience the best of both worlds, by Morgan Morningstar.
Inspired by Phillip K. Dick, Alfred Bester and Strange Days.
Redemption
In the cold dank darkness of 3am, you finally began to put the case to rest. The five of you had spent the last three months of your lives searching for this one man, the serial killer who'd dared to murder the daughter of the most important man in New Melbourne. Eight others died before her and another four since, yet is was only considered worth bringing in the authorities after someone 'important' died. As far as the police were concerned, the case was unsolvable. You proved otherwise. Five mismatched misfits, brought in as last ditch attempt. Five people with unique talents who've succeeded where hundreds of police failed.
You brought in Damien Edwards. Now you're attending his execution.
Smile. It's over.
A cyber-noir thriller for five tired, talented and redeemable
investigators
by Morgan Morningstar.
