Ok so, continuing with this week's thing-a-day, I present to you this thing.
The Campaign Update
I started running my Genesys Urban Arcana game sometime in mid to late February. I meant to do weekly write ups on it but they never materialized. Why is that? Well honestly, most of the World Building for the game is done during the sessions so not a lot has been happening. But I'll do my best to summarize the campaign to date.
So we been this game is classic fashion, the party is at a Tavern™. Now the Tavern™ is chain of novelty themed restaurants in the Puget Sound Region of Washington state, which is where the game takes place. The staff dresses up as various fantasy races, there is a bard playing music, and the food is good but basic diner fare.
So party is there unwinding after a roleplaying session with pancakes and milkshakes, when it is attack by hooded humanoids. They kill the staff and set the place on fire. The party manages to escape unscathed. Since one of the players is a cop for Metro One he stays behind and coordinates with the emergency responders. He fills out reports and follows up a week later on the arson investigation only to find it closed.
Report says "Kitchen fire, no bodies found on site." Now the party witnessed several of the staff get killed, so Mike knows something is up. Checks with City Records and finds everything scrub, no record of the building is in the archive. No permits, no tax records, nothing. So now I've got this mystery going with the records and what not.
So after some Dream-Walking and Divine Intervention from the new gods, the party gets some sweet magical swag. They track down the LLC running the The Taverns™ and question the operations manger who happens to be a Siren and learns more about the various inhuman races living in the Greater Seattle area. There also might be some Ratmen in the sewer committing the crimes and trying to rise a dark god while a federal agency is trying to stop them...
Currently they are talking to heads of two shadow-folk organizations, one that provides food and shelter, the other provides jobs. That's about all that is going on right now. The game is currently on hiatus due to some of the players having other commitments and myself having the burnout. I'm taking a break and trying to play a bit in a 5e game. Its been nice.
Well that's it for today, I'll see you tomorrow when I talk about something else. I'm not sure what yet, but I'm sure to come up with something. Until next time!
