This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: James Gillen;797154I would love to see that.

Yeah me too. I missed this game when I was looking for slightly different super RPG's. I already knew Godlike/Wild Talents and Necessary Evil, but this one is really good as well. It seems Godsend Agenda has great backstory, which is what I always check first in a game.
May I say that? Yes, I may say that!

Slight derail again, sorry. I have a question, but I don't want to make another topic just for this.

In Godsend Agenda there is a history which goes from 4000 BC till 2010, then the players enter the setting and after that the timeline continues till 2011.

What is the Metaplot in this? The entire timeline? Or just the part from 2010 till 2011?

Edit: I really enjoy this section of Godsend Agenda. Maybe I just like Metaplot? Anway I really like this, but only till 2010. I don't like it when the plot goes on while you are already playing.
May I say that? Yes, I may say that!

There are effectively two type of maps, which both use the same painted map background. The first is the world map found in the Corebook and free map PDF. The second is the continent maps used in Geographica, which these are print versions of. There are more detail on the later though they are still somewhat large scale (covering a whole continent and all).

Chapter Three of my Atlantis campaign "The Unbridled Blade" started last night after a 2.5 month hiatus:

Quote from: Session 3.1On returning to Logithia, the PCs found that Stelaro's ship and crew was not at the rendezvous point. Phaedra prayed to Exu and was given the insight to travel to south west. The PCs hijacked an Ophidean ship leaving the now fallen city, freeing its enslaved crew and sneaking past the city's defences. Onopen seas, Achindra had a vision that Efraim of the Grey Council was casting a curse on him through a sympathetic link of Daniel's (Efraim's son) ghost. Daniel warned Achindra about something he called "Dark Atlantis". Phaedra also conversed with the wraith of her mother, who impressed on her the need to save Tali from the Great Darkness. The next day, the ship travelled into a fog bank and encountered a smaller ship. The ship's captain revealed that they were fleeing Targrim that had declared independence from Tharshesh, who reacted by besieging the city. He mumbled something about a white lady appearing on the city walls every evening to protect it. The captain also revealed to Stelaro that one of the three ruling merchants of Targrim was his old friend, Mihaelo, and that his ship, Fierra, was docked in the city. The PCs were left with two choices: to run Tharshesh's blockade or travel through the fog like the smaller ship had, despite tales that the fog shrouded the dread island of Zaless.

Game was a lot of fun, especially as we opened on the ship revealing several hooded shapes which were presumed to be Ophideans were actually PC infiltrators. When one PC had unlocked the slaves, the Jinn Sorcerer manifested 40 swords for the rabble to wield :)

We are just about to see our first PC hit 50 Renown, with Phaedra on 49 :)

And in other news, my copies of Theragraphica arrived! COpies should be hitting stores soon I guess.

Still in shrink wrap:


And if anyone has seen the Hercules movie (not a great Hercules movie, but an OK Atlantis one), this is pretty much the money-shot of my Atlantis PCs :D

Next up is the 180 card Monster Deck. Most monsters in the Theragraphica make an appearance:

Also, the continuing saga of my campaign. I have been using the Theragraphica for a while but it was no coincidence that we celebrated with a big session of monsters.

QuoteSession 3.2: As the smaller ship disappeared into the fog, Baram had a feeling of foreboding. Achindra scryed the departing boat to find that one of its crew had slaughtered the rest and piled them into a cadaver pyramid, like those seen created by Eshrigel. The crew member used sorcery to report to the Caliph Shah that he had found Baram. Achindra then felt the convergence of many powerful spells - the fog shroud around Zaless, the Caliph's elemental curse on Baram and Efraim's curse on himself. A terrible storm whipped up and two enormous sea monsters struck the ship. At the same time, mighty elementals of air and water tried to kill Baram. Despite, the amazing feats of the PCs, the ship was torn asunder and the crew was washed ashore on the island of Zaless. On arriving, several people were discovered missing, including Bahadur and the ship's previous captain, Mythurio. On exploration, the island proved to be inhabited by strange and powerful beasts, including giant centipedes that could fire lightning and a madness that the PCs termed a "Chimera". They also met an Atlantean priest of Obatala called Leviathan, who said he had come to the island to kill the despicable sorcerer Dazan Drune.
