Recap of 7/23/2014 Adventure

We played a Savage World's Version of Bureau 13 Called Bureau 14.

Characters-

Agent Adriana McArdle: Rookie Agent, Addicted to Social Media, Runs the Office
Father Joseph Murphy: Catholic Exorcist, Cheep Beer Drinker

  • Father Murphy swings by gas station near office to pick up some beer before meeting Adriana.  Gas station attendant very skeptical that office is a "Bureau of Weights and Measures Office", suspects much more.
  • Murphy finds Agent McArdle playing video games instead of answering her bureau phone. He answers, it is the boss man, telling them another agency has asked a favor.  Military found "something" in Afghanistan. Brought it back to Fort Benning, GA (near by army base).  The Army and this unnamed agency don't what whatever it is, so boss man ask Murphy and McArdle to take transport object from base to DC Bureau.
  • Two rent a car, drive to base.  Escorted by officer to guarded hanger. Hanger is empty except for a small desk with a satchel on it.  Murphy opens satchel, inside is a golden phone with cryptic writing on it.  The two take satchel and are returned to the vehicle.  As they leave they both spot one of the guards writing notes about them in a small pad.  When McArdle waves, guard hides pad and ignores them further.
  • The two begin to drive to D.C. but then Murphy tells McArdle to pull off on a side street so he can further investigate object (and drink a beer).
  • Murphy picks up phone, speaks, his dead mother tries to talk with him.  He hangs up, voice still continues for a while, phone rings occasionally, they stuff phone in back seat.
  • The two decide to take object back to office and research it in the office's occultic library.  McArdle finds out an esoteric arabic group is complaining about a similar device being stolen from them in Afghanistan by American forces.  Murphy finds out device is used by occultic groups to contact spirits for instruction.  Phone continues to ring, pretending to be lost relatives, trying to compel both of them to answer.
  • Murphy calls Father McKeyhe, a senior exorcist, and the two drive to meet him at Catholic compound. McKeyhe wants to summon the bishops and destroy the device, but Murphy and McArdle convince McKeyhe not to as the government has interest in it.  Murphy and Mckeyhe prya over phone.  It stops.  Meanwhile McArdle post a social media poll on 4Chan.  Afterwards she begins to start getting phone calls from strange numbers who hang up immediately.
  • Now the two will be late to D.C. but they drive off.  They almost make it before three black Mercedes try to run their renta SUV off the road.  Due to some great driving by McArdle and an epic spare tire toss into the windshield of one of the tailing Mercedes, the two escape.

Mutant Future Christmas Themed Adventure

Bad Santa: An Adventure Concept for your Mutant Future or Post Apocalyptic Game So I *might* be running a game session tonight, I'm kind of the back up guy.  We will have possibly three GM's present, and I'm probably 3rd in line.  But as one looks like will be a no show and the other is new, I figure I better have at least a concept of an adventure setup.  So for a quick and dirty set of ideas I used the Beast & Barbarians Golden Edition adventure idea generator to generate some broad concepts for an adventure, and then applied them to a Mutant Future setting.  I also wanted to have the adventure Christmas/Holiday themed.  So here goes. Back Story The party is friends with a mutant settlement that relies on a semi-working robotical farm for food.  Some kind of robotical unit snuck into the village and stole the nuclear power cell from one of the main CPU that controls the farm.  A scout from the village tracked the bot's path into the ru...
