Infocyde's RPG Blog

So last year I made an adventure concept called "Bad Santa" that was well received.  I promised to continue to stat up the various suggested adversaries for Mutant Future, but I didn't get to it.  But here is the adventure concept, Bad Santa for your enjoyment http://infocyderpg.blogspot.com/2013/12/mutant-future-christmas-themed-adventure.html

So I was running an X-Files / Bureau 13 / Fringe type Savage Worlds game and I decided to add a few more powers to beef up priest types in my game.  Here is what I've come up with so far- Savage Priestly Powers Guide My group isn't active right now (we are running some other campaigns with different groups) so I haven't had anyone play test this yet.  Your suggestions on how to improve this guide are greatly appreciated!

I've moved a lot since college.  For me to stay in one place for longer than three years is rare, with my average time in one spot lower than that.  All the while I've been dragging along a few boxes of RPGs.  Since I've been back in Arizona I started collecting them, so I'm up to about four boxes now. Well, it looks like it might be moving time again.  Lately I've been adopting more of a minimalist life style though in many ways that is a tough sell to my wife.  She is slowly giving in.  And in the process I've decided to work on shedding my RPG collection down to just one box.  So far these are the candidates for selling / giving away. Role Master Standard System: 10 books.  This one is painful, but in reality I doubt that I will ever get anyone one to play this with me.  Also it is a system that requires a bit of prep time which I have little of.  Thus RMSS will probably go away. Mongoose Conan: 5 books. I can see the possibili...

I don't like the Savage World's shotgun rules.  Here is my solution Max Targets Hit: Regular Shotgun: Short 1-3, Medium or Greater,  D6 Sawed Off Shotguns / Scatter Guns: D6

I found this on the net.  Pretty good summary of how police use informants and conduct surveillance. http://www.drtomoconnor.com/3220/3220lect02c.htm

For now I'll title the game we are playing Bureau of Weights and Measures as Bureau 14 might be a little to close to Bureau 13, but basically I'm running an X=Files / Fringe / Bureau 13 type of campaign using Savage Worlds.  You can read what happened last adventure by clicking [ HERE ]. The Characters Adriana McArdle - The Bureau's main technical person.  Currently only full time employee at the branch.  Adriana's specialty is hacking and using the internet / social media for research.  She is hopelessly addicted to Facebook / Twitter / Instagram which could pose problems in the future.   Father Murphy - Murphy is a Catholic priest who has a bit of a drinking problem.  He is also an experienced exorcist and has experience fighting the forces of darkness.  Murphy doesn't work directly for the bureau, but their is some understanding by his diocese that Murphy is involved in important work, so his long absences are tolerated.    Special ...

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...
