I'm running a Weird Wars 2 horror/investigation game. We lost 1 player and could do with a real fighter. I'm happy to recruit more than 1 new player if enough people are interested.
Here's the original Recruitment Thread which details the background and setting. Also you can get to the gameplay thread from there.
Players can feel free to make their own characters according to the same rules as are posted in the recruitment thread.
The story so far:
The group woke in the night to the sound of laughter within the rooms behind the altar in the cathedral. Investigation found a ghostly apparition that mocked them before attacking, however one of the party making a wild attack manage to hit it with a sizable candle holder. The swing met no resistance but the apparition stops in its attack and disappears. Without a moment to regroup there is the party hear screaming from the other end of the cathedral. When they investigate they only find that it was the surgeon at work attempting to save a man's life with no anistatic.
When they return to their cots they find out that one of their badly injured comrades also dreamed of the same apparition and names it Tiewaz. He also speaks of "the hound". The man's mind is not the best even before the dream so they cannot get much more out of him.
When the next night rolls around the group find that they have little will to sleep. They notice strange shadowy areas moving around the cathedral and realise that it is difficult to make any noise, even talking. 1 of the party manages to chace them off as another examines what they were up to. It appears they left behind them empty beds behind them. When the group returned to their own bunks they found that their injured comrade had gone missing. Looking around they saw he was escaping through the side door.
When they caught up with the man it seemed clear that he was not himself. He was adamant that he must go hunt the hound. Although the PCs tried to restrain him he got away and ran into the woods to the north.
The PCs decide to look up word of this Tiewaz and the Hound. While crossing the town in search of the library they come across a homeless man who's gibbering to himself about "it is happening again". The PCs manage to get him up and bring him with them. They find the library had been bombed but a nearby bookshop might suffice. They had to talk/bribe their way into the shop but found Tiewaz was another name for Tyr a Germanic god of war who sacrificed his hand to capture the hound Finrir and was destined to die slaying a great dog during the apocalypse. They also questioned the homeless man who revealed to them that the veil between this world and the next is thinned by blood and misery but someone in Kelmis is doing something to make it worse. He says that Constantine has saved them before but the name seems to make him snap and work himself up until he ran from the shop and out into the streets of Kelmis.
Apologizing to the shop keeper and offering to buy all the books they were reading, the PCs run after the homeless Belgian.
Joining Us:
So anyone who's interested in joining us will be integrated into the group when they return to the field hospital (cathedral). Please post here if you’re interested and we can talk through your character.
Depending on your character's background I might furnish you with some extra information about what's going on to give you an in with the current characters. Nothing big, just something weird that you may have noticed/experienced
Bumping this...if you've ever thought about trying Savage Worlds rules this is a good game to start with.
Ping for players!
Ping for players before the first combat kills them all...
Ping! Who wants to shoot Nazis and Monsters and Monster-Nazis?!!
Would you be willing to accept someone who has zero experience with Savage Worlds? I've always been interested in the system, but have not have a chance to really even read the rules. If you're willing to put up with my newbie status, I'd be delighted to hammer out a character for your game!
Sure it's a ver easy game to learn you can get the freebee rules here:
