I had a busy, busy weekend. I didn't check E-mail on either Sunday or Monday, so I'll be brief here so that I can catch up there.
With Rusty in Ohio, we watched Stir of Echoes on Friday to prepare us for the Orpheus game. Afterwards we played Shadowfist while watching The Seven Faces of Doctor Lao. That was a fun film, but decidedly not one for the World of Darkness.
Saturday night we played in a Feng Shui game run by Monte. He set the game in contemporary Hong Kong at the Sacred Heart Hospital, a neutral ground established by the Dragons. So long as no Secret War violence occurs in the hospital, all factions will have their wounded treated there with no questions asked. So we were allowed to play any template from any era and any faction.
Trav created a Purist Sorcerer who is undercover as a scrub. He uses his sorcery shticks to appear as if he uses contemorary medicines, but uses suagr pills to cover his healing schtick, uses his transmutation shtick to have whatever drug he needs in the syringe at hand, et cetera.
Kitty created an unaligned Transformed Monkey who is a journalist doing a documentary about the hospital. She's completely unaware of the Secret War, which is good because the player is, too!
Michael is playing an unaligned Techie who is a service mechanic for the hospital. He has fallen for Ting Ting after she came into the hospital once with bullet wounds, and he now wishes to get a chance to actually meet her. He also is unaware of the Secret War, but that's just role playing on Jackson's part as he ran a five year Feng Shui campaign that started as a playtest group before he started his current D&D campaign.
I'm playing a Jammer Gorilla Fighter named Baboon Fett. He was created by CDCA scientist Doctor Kamino Jengo as part of a clone baboon army. Has a built-in body armour, a wrist flamethrower, a wrist cable launcher, and a jetpack for his hardware schticks and Both Guns Blazing as his gun schtick. He was meeting some Dragon contacts to obtain more explosives for the Jammers when they were attacked by Pledged Ascended. He was the only one to survive, and only by crawling into the sewers before passing out. Now, his physical therapy is nearly complete. They even let him eat in the cafeteria, so long as he doesn't speak outside the fourth floor where all of the Secret Warriors are hidden. The excuse is that he is a lab baboon being treated by the hospital.
I'll tell you about the actual events of the game and the rest of my weekend later. Night!
