Wanna help me decide what to run?


PaizoCon General Discussion

Scarab Sages

So, I think I'll be GM-ing a couple of sessions again this year at PaizoCon. The call for games hasn't gone out yet, but it's only a matter of time. And it'll take me a while to get anything ready anyway.

Problem is, I'm having difficulty deciding which two adventures I want to run. (I might have a third prepared as well, for pre- or post-con gaming...)

Anyway, I've narrowed my ideas down to seven. Any suggestions which two I should pick?

Possible games for PaizoCon:

Campus Crusade for Cthulhu – Essentially what I ran last year. In which the players play the part of the cultists, in the form of a student club at modern day Miskatonic University, trying to outwit the Investigators, in the form of the Student Activities Committee.

Mutate or Die – Kind of a sequel to last year's Metamorphosis Alpha game – set in a different part of the ship, should be a bit faster paced and less linear, featuring the return of the dread Porcuhuahuas.

Through a Mirror Darkly – An update to one I ran at ConQuest in San Jose back in the day – combining d20 Cthulhu and d20 D&D (Hm... maybe I should update this to Pathfinder :) - in which either the players are playing characters playing D&D or there are characters in a D&D world projecting themselves into our world in the form of a game in order to influence events in both places.

Where Have All the Flowers Gone? - In which the characters wake up in a hospital to find it deserted, and get to have some fun trying to figure out what happened and what to do about it, all while someone or something may be trying to kill them for some reason. d20 Modern.

Campus Crusade for Cthulhu, The Beginning – An 1890s adventure for Call of Cthulhu. A prequel to my Campus Crusade for Cthulhu adventure, in which a bunch of students of the occult from around the world gather at Miskatonic University to start the current incarnation of the Campus Crusade. Their first obstacle – overcome the newly formed Student Activities Committee!

Hunt the Magus – Dragon Age, based on the computer game of the same name. Characters must rescue a mage who may hold the secret to defeating the next blight. But there are a few complications: The Circle of mages are also searching for him, to retrieve the secrets he stole from them, and are willing to kill any who get in their way. The Templars want him dead for practicing blood magic. And the Darkspawn are trying to stop you as he might be a threat to him. Did I mention that he's also a slave currently held deep in Qunari territory? And then things get interesting.

Lost Legacy of Stars' End – A Star Wars adventure set aboard a tramp freighter in the Corporate Sector during Episode IV, in which the characters may or may not be hunting a man who may or may not be a Jedi Knight or possibly a renegade Sith. Either would be illegal. And dangerous.


Campus Crusade for Cthulhu - because we used to do something like this with our highschool maps.. and Lost Legacy, because i always have wanted to run a tramp freighter
