Hello all,
I decided I should get in on the campaign journal action, and seeing as my Eberron campaign just ended, I thought I might want to write a journal on the d20 Modern campaign I'm playing in. Hopefully, this thread will convince the rest of my group to "get in on the action", and post some of their thoughts and opinions. This campaign is based heavily on RPing, so I will include basic character personalities with the descriptions. So here goes...
Players for 1st Session, 10/8/05:
Me: Loccdon Marcheon, Dedicated Hero Level 1 who may eventially become a psychic, a telepath or an investigator. Maybe a field medic. 29, male, blue eyes, black hair, and accountant. Indifferent to his job, a little bit of a neat freak, and at the start of the campaign is pretty much a smart-aleck or joker, who has not yet really encountered anything much in his life that has scared him. From Australia. His family moved to the States because of strange circumstances forcing them to leave his small village-town on the mainland for another location. His family had been considering a move for a long time, so they viewed this as fate and left. The circumstances invovled a series of crimes, a murder, some angry villagers, and a big mystery covered up. Hopefully, it will be solved later. In spite of all this, Loccdon (or Don, as he is now being called) has a loose code of morals, mainly just us common sense and be nice. He is fairly savvy with technology, lives in an apartment, and is very wise and in-tune with the world around him, and will act as a sort of peacemaker, aways placing the smart, common-sensical person.
However, his light and chipper attitude may change as a result of some of the things he has discovered to date...
Rob McFarnle, Fast Hero Level 1, and athlete. Has gotten along fairly well with Don (in fact, they share their apartment) and although their strengths are different, they complement each other well in both abilities and personalities. However, Don did catch Rob stealing in this session, which was a point of minor conflict (more details to follow). Stay tuned for more details straight from this player...
As of the first session, numerous players (about 4) were missing and I think that 3 of them should be coming next session, which is tonight. (10/15/05). More details to follow on that, when I get around to it.
1st Session, 10/8/05:
The game started with our DM giving us an overview of the town we were in. Don and Rob lived in a fairly gritty, dangerous part of town, and although weapons larger than a very small knife (and guns) were illegal, most people carryed concealed ones anyway. Rob had a gun, and Don had two knives. We were both on the bus after a hard days work at our respective jobs, when the bus screeched to a halt, tipping over as the driver yelled "There's someone in the road! He just stood there!" Roband Don kept their balance, landing smoothly on the floor, when suddenly, their was a loud explosion, the window blew open, and the bus driver was drived out. Don and Rob both took positions crouched behind adjacent seats, as we both drew our respective weapons. We waited, and Don glimpsed over the seat to see nothing of note. After 30 seconds, Don pulled out his cell phone, and called the police, keeping relatively calm and saying "My name is Don, and I was riding in this bus, when suddenly the driver stopped rapidly, we tipped over, and their was an explosion. When I looked, the window was blown open, and the driver was gone." After giving the police their location, Don hung up and told Rob that help was on it's way. They then sheathed their weapons and Don began to check to ensure noone was seriousy injured. They weren't so he began calming them down, saying that help was on it's way and that everything was going to be okay. Then the police arrived, and cleared the area, saying that it was safe. We went back to our apartment, and...

P.S. Of course, I haven't typed up the interesting cliffhanger we had yet. Let me just say, it involves possible radiation-mutated humans becoming undead, two crystal pyramids both on correlating spots on Earth and Mars and all kinds of good stuff, like a nuclear ship sinking, with no bodies found.
