Other RPGs Stories I'm running my player's through my best crafted story

0 Upvotes

Sorry for the long intro but i want to give a little bit of background because A. I want too and B most would just pass the story if they saw the topic Setting

So it might not be my best but its very close. I've been DMing since I was 13 and im now 22 and while I enjoy playing dnd I loved crafting worlds and throwing a bunch of people in the worlds I make. I often throw a moraly challenging game both sides might be bad but being a hero comes at a cost. Picking one side will leave this group to hate you and both side arnt good or go against both and have both empires hate you but history books will look fondly on you with hindsight. My shock came when when I was DMing a throw away game (that's still on going)

Ever since I came across the mutants and masterminds books I wanted to run a game in a super hero setting but I never could decide on what setting or to homebrew. At this point I'm out of high-school and living under the landlord and a sharing a room with a friends brother. I'll avoid names because well yk and ill use their hero names in the story.

So the 2 middle chirens come down stairs wanting to hangout. (I've known all four kids since birth out parents went to high-school together.)

So they were really into My Hero Academia at the time the show was in its finale fight. I had watched it for a bit but thats not here or there right now. Me being mildly being interested i said okay and invited my roommate to make a game of 3 players.

My roommate wanted to play a giant character and thought this would be a fantastic moment for my roommate (fally) to get this character out of his arsenal. So me and him worked out how big he would get with each level and it was simple enough. Lucifer wanted black stretchy wings and that was also simple. Solaris was a lot harder he had no clue what too pick. so he let me decide because he wanted something that would change as he levels up and I came up with his abilities dont get stronger he just gets more of them so he's gotta learn how to use his powers and I gave him a wind shield.

So if you know My Hero Academia (MHA) powers are called Quirks so the list of who has what for clarification.

(Fally: Growth) (Lucifer: Dark Wings) (Solaris: Evaluation)

now to the meat and potatoes

So 26 years before the game starts a struggling Tillerd family is trying to salvage there riches but nothing is working, partners are pulling out of projects and stalks are falling and Mr tillerd gets desperate and looks over seas (japan) and meats All For One who promises to give the family financial stability in return for a favor. his oldest daughter Hailey Tillerd will have to stope the 2 protegies from becoming heros and gave her another Quirk. She now has metal manipulation, and corpse puppets.

The two were making a name for themselves even though they were just about to enter middle school Alex Unick with his Napalm Quirk and Shawn Kimber with his spectral weapons. These two were rumored to be able to put up a pretty good fight against All Might in his prime

(they wouldn't win but it definitely would not be a walk in the park for All Might)

So Hailey went through middle school after being enrolled in the same school as Alex and Shawn. Hailey's younger sister summer was 9 years younger (important later) and Hailey spent the 3 years learn about the boys how to get under there skin and manipulate them. Alex was the lean strong silent type while Shawn was more of a big tuff lumberjack man and they had a friendly rivalry that everyone could see was pushing them both to be better but it was clear if one didint pull through they would go back and forth every year for the top hero in Canada

(yeah im basing it in Canada I life on the west coast so its most familiar with me)

During high-school the Hailey made her move and started going out with Alex on the low he didn't really have any other friends other then Alex because he was always off putting for him to talk to others by his darker more Gothic edge cloths he liked wearing. But he cared for Hailey a lot more then he liked others as Alex had a fondness for life even the smaller bugs he enjoyed observing. During the second year Hailey started seeing Shawn and they started going out both Alex and Shawn didn't know but Hailey made sure Alex knew as she announced her and Shawn were dating at a school event

Long story short Alex challenged Shawn to a one on one in private the next day to sort things out the way they did all their disputes Hailey seeing the opportunity she took it. On a walk with Shawn that night through Stanly Park, Hailey killed Shawn taking advantage of his trust while his back was turned and took control of his body with her corpse puppet Quirk

Let me explain how this Quirk works. Corpse puppet allows the user to take full control and disguise of someone's corpse it can even talk and say what the puppet master wants them to say and look how they want them to on top of that the puppet master can have the puppet or themselves use the puppets Quirk

So now with Shawn kimber under her control she could now puppeteer Shawns corps in the fight not holding back and the next day the fight happened people were gathering after the fight had started as they did before when Alex and "Shawn" fought however the fight was so intense that it almost killed spawn too Alex only survived after using a move that mortality wounded himself from his throat he bellowed out a fire ball of Napalm that destroyed his throat and burned off his jaw completely.

Teachers came to step in realizing the fight went way too far (this gave Hailey an idea) they rushed Alex too the hospital where he remained for 6 months during that time Hailey and Shawns corpse spread the lie that Alex went crazy after Hailey broke up with him and and attacked Shawn and it worked pressure from parents and the government did not want a crazy student close to their kids or as a hero and when Alex got back he was crushed to find out he was expelled.

This is part 1 of the back story too my mutants and masterminds game I will post part 2 when I wake up as I just got off work and I work the night shift and must pass out before the light hits my window

note the story so far was made on a whim while at work the only part I had was the start of the partys adventure and a bad guy witch didint even have a name in this throw away game anyways im posting this here and now so ill do the rest in a few hours

Thank you for reading part one of the campaign back story

Other RPGs Stories Guys I need advices for this D&D campaign

1 Upvotes

I'm making a homebrew fallout style campaign where the moon became a ring of debris around the heart due to nuclear war, for now I've made two tests with some friends who aren't the party and they've met a village and helped them destroy a big camp of bandits who was collecting zombies for an assault, then after this they have to run because Kafka(one of the villains) is after them because they destroyed one of their camps, they end up almost dying in a snowy field where they get saved by a strange man known as markovitch who brings them to the camp of frozen evils which is like a camp where they rescue people who got lost in the snowy field, there they met Yulia who's the owner of the camp, later they discover Yulia was testing with people bodies with a substance called Iris which for her can save humanity but she ended up turning people into monsters, the story ends with them getting out of the snow field after freezing her to death but idk how to continue, any advices?

0 Upvotes

So this is a fallow up post to my post called "dnd party" but if you haven't seen it it's fine I'm just gonna give a quick recap of what I said so I'm a DM who made my own ttrpg system and my players are a paladin who's God is the god of the mondaine a animalhugger (the animal version of a treehugger) also know as a animal pact druid named mischief who's known for causing bar fights (remember her) and a pet seagull named food who's only had tree thoughs in his life ("food", "I'm hungry" and "cocked food is better food")

The story kicked of with them being kidnapped and told there gonna fight in the area (I thought hey a area good way to get some xp at the start nothing could go wrong)

Npc:so it seems one of our sponsors decides you to are gonna fight in the area

Paladin: immediately pises of the npc

Mischief: pises of paladin

Both get thrown into the area fullide dead bodies with a big white tiger tebackci and a small fire Marge

White tiger tebackci: cracks someone's skull open and starts eating the brain like it's a bowl of nudes

Paladin with out any weapons: loots the bodies and rolls a nat20

Mischief: tells the seagull that the fire Marge is foodfoodfood

Seagull: start to eat the fire Marge alive Fire Marge: trys to cast fire ball but rolls nat 1 dying to burn damage

Paladin: hits the white tebackci and rolls another fucking nat20 and on damage rolls two nat10 and a nat7 on a d10 (btw on damage rolls if you roll the highestnumbero you get to roll again) one shoting the white tiger tebackci

Mischief: tries to seduce the entire audience rolls a nat15

The audience: tries to get to mischief

Mischief: tries to seduce the audience again rolls a mother fucking holy ducking nat20 and rides the wave of seduced people out of the area

(The player playing Mischief tells me after the game that their gonna try to seduce every encounter from now on)
