The game runs from 14:30 until 18:00.

Just who will survive at the end?
The Winchester Brothers? Bobby? Will Ruby get dusted? Will Bela get the loot?

My HeroQuest game I am running at Dragonmeet 2009

This is the HeroQuest game I am running at Dragonmeet 2009.



'Cropcircles and Lights Out' by Darran Sims narrated by Darran Sims.
Supernatural: HeroQuest 2.0 adventure for 5 players.
Newcomers very welcome. Maturity preferred.
Based on the TV series.

"Police reports are coming in from Fulton County, Georgia of cars driving at night without their headlights on. When helpful members of the public flash their lights in courtesy to warn the drivers they become victims to the drivers.
All that seems to be left are the abandoned cars with their headlights smashed out. No trace of the occupants have been found. Forensic reports do confirm that the blood found in the broken headlights is canine, not human.
Are these incidents related to the gang tags found in the recent spate of crop circles that also plague the area?"

Character sheets for Supernatural TV show game.

So I have designed some character sheets for my up coming Supernatural HeroQuest game.
I went for a police report look, finding a real letterhead for the Georgia Bureau of Investigation plus Georgia court stamps on the web was good.
The mug-shots were hard to do as I had to make up the ones for Bobby, Ruby and Bela, photoshopping the height chart behind them.
Getting the information for the police report was hard as well - date of births for the two main characters of the show was available but it was harder to get info on the others. Some I just had to make up but most info was from the actors themselves.
I then added some more polaroids of items tied to the characters for more genre flavour.

The final touch was using a pentagram symbol in place of the mastery rune - again very genre specific that I thinks adds to the game.


Sam Winchester


Dean Winchester


Bobby Singer


Bela Talbot


Ruby

Midweek Character - Ruby

o I haven't posted for a while due to being away on holiday so here is a tasty character to play.

Ruby is a fantastic character in the Supernatural TV series, a wicked character with a possible heart of gold. She is also one of the player characters in my Supernatural HeroQuest game that takes place at Tentacles Omega 2009.
She is a suitable foil for the Winchester brothers and should be able to hold her own in the game even though she is almost an antagonist.

Ruby's Story

"Anyone got a breath mint? Some guts splashed in my mouth while I was killing my way in here..."

"Well... they killed your precious little virgin too! Next time... we do MY plan"

Ruby, a feisty blonde, is a demon with demonic abilities such as enhanced strength and inhuman durability; however she is vulnerable to most weaknesses of demons.

Ruby is a skilled fighter, forgoing telekinesis that other demons use, she tends to rely on martial arts.

During her time as a witch, she gained extraordinary knowledge of magic. She knows how to nullify the effects of hex bags, as well as how to create them to hide her presence from supernatural beings. She knows a spell capable of wiping out all demons - including herself - within a mile radius.

Ruby possesses a mysterious and magical "demon-killing" knife.

Midweek Character - Sam Winchester

Here is Sam from Supernatural. Again a very capable character and did seem great fun to play even though he is usually the more serious Winchester brother on the TV show.




Sam Winchester's Story

"Dude, dude im not using this ID because it says "bikini inspector" on it!"

"What kind of a house doesnt have salt? Low sodium freaks!!"

Sam Winchester commands vast knowledge of the supernatural and is intellectually driven. An academic thinker, Sam is adroit in recalling chants written in Latin, which can be used to exorcise, summon or vanquish demons. Sam pre-empts any hunt by researching the paranormal entities involved and has an uncanny sense of direction and time.

Sam exhibits precognitive dreams and visions though they are currently dormant.

In addition, with the training given to him by his father, Sam is a skilled fighter, proficient with firearms, adept with shotguns, and capable with melee weapons. Sam possesses many abilities that are frowned upon by law, including lock-picking, computer-hacking, and disguised conning.

Midweek Character - Bela Talbot

So here is another of the characters from my Supernatural game.
I think that Bela will be great to play especially if the player manages to stitch up both Dean and Sam!
I just hope that the game does go well.
I have just finished the first part of the Hunters Journal as well so I'll post pictures up of that. I have not got all what I wanted in it as yet but it does look good. Should be a nice prop.




Bela Talbot's Story

"I don’t get out of bed for three grand."

"Let me tell you a little something about me. I don't respond well to threats. But you make me an offer, and I think you'll fine me highly cooperative."

Bela Talbot knows about the supernatural world and is acutely aware of what goes on though she’s not a hunter. Bela has a murky past and makes a profit by selling stolen occult artefacts to clients who are the highest bidder. Bela is consummate professional and a crack-shot with a pistol. Bela has impressive skills in bargaining and exploitation; she will lie, cheat, steal, manipulate, and if pushed will severely hurt others to achieve her goals.

Bela uses an Ouija board to contact spirits to divine information on the whereabouts of persons and objects of desire.

Whenever possible, Bela will hire auxiliaries to do her dirty work.

Midweek Character - Dean Winchester

So here is Dean Winchester, one of the player characters in my Supernatural game that takes place at this year's Conception convention. 
It is still a work in progress so there are no target numbers associated with the abilities and keywords as I haven't done the other characters yet. 
I am interested in some feed-back as I am still not sure about his abilities and I need to define the keywords somewhat.

Dean Winchester's Story

"And I tell you what else helps. Killing as many evil sons-of-bitches as I possibly can."

"I think he wants us to pick up where he left off. You know, saving people, hunting things... The family business."

Dean Winchester is ruthless, aggressive and highly resourceful. Dean possesses excellent combat and hunting prowess; comprehensively trained by his father as a paranormal investigator and hunter of the supernatural. Dean has an instinctive ability to 'read' behavioural characteristics and manipulate people.

Dean has extensive knowledge of the supernatural and mythology. He is well versed with how police and government agencies operate and conduct investigations, and knows how to both impersonate and evade them effectively. 

Dean is a virtuoso of escape, evasion and stealth. Lastly, he is also skilful in areas frowned upon by the law; lock picking, by-passing security systems, car jacking and gaining an 'advantageous purchase' comes naturally.
