So he met her somewhere (Freshman Mixer, or a previous class), then this semester had her put into his class.

    Surely you can pull together a lot of Dracula's power set with cyberwear, so you can make that boss fight terrifying.
    I think I'd change the "Stake" to something like an antil-cyberwear/electronic spike the police or military might employ against hard targets, but it's also preloaded with some messed up BD's and programs.
    In the old legends, stakes weren't ment to kill vampires, but to literally nail them into their coffins so they couldn't rise to hunt the living. So I'm thinking the reason the gang members are so freaked out by it is because they've seen them used as punishment, torture and execution devices, with former vampires, snitches or hated enemies being staked and displayed as a warning. But since the gang sound like they have a theatrical bent, the bodies are dismissed as props in their macabre shows.

    • @kevingriffith6011
      @kevingriffith6011 Год назад +8

      I actually like that the stake is just a piece of wood, truth be told. It gives the item layers and honestly makes it more complex than a straightforward lock-and-key thing.
      By having all the vampires recoil from it when the party is presented with it, you clue the party in that the vampires believe it to be powerful. If the party takes it at face value and tries to stake the vampire with it then they'll find out pretty quickly that it's just an ordinary hunk of wood, but if the party is smart then they'll realize that the stake has power as a symbol, not as a weapon, and can use it to manipulate how this vampire acts.

    But this has not been at all a good experience for us.
    We investigated in good faith, spent several hours of game time asking after the missing persons case, investigating the professor directly before going to the show.
    Felt stonewalled constantly. Then the attack happened and the "story" just lurched forward and happened at us. Receiving plot dumps from the Philharmonic Vampires and orders to go kill the Professor.

    Finally finished this scenario last night, took us two sessions. I would say it needs a lot of work and that gamemasters are going to have to put effort in to present a beginning that doesn't feel like it railroads the PCs into attending the show even if they don't want to. You may also need to account for the tone of the scenario and that it can whiplash, going from investigating kidnapped girls with an unknown timer till their death to talking to Bela Lugosi in a Romanian accent and being told to stake the main bad guy. My players decided that the Vampyres themselves were responsible for letting this guy get away with so many kidnappings despite apparently knowing where Ruthven was this entire time and nearly ended up in a firefight with the Vamps after the shooting at the opera house. I took into account some of the suggestions Seth gave here and they worked out, just the scenario itself needs to be worked over.

    Glad to have found this video while prepping for this run for my players. Added some elements to the story to give it a more "organic" progression as well as leaning into the roles of several of my players.
    One is a young Exec, so I had her as an employee as an employee of Rocklin itself, and had her as a friend/mentor to Lucy, so she was personally assigned to get a team together to find Lucy.
    Also had a Fixer in the group, who around the same time got the call from "Rhinemeyer's representative". Hilarity ensued when the Exec contacted the Fixer, with contract negotiations.
    The crew also had a Lawman, acting as a PI, so I wanted to give him a chance to use his skills, went down the investigation route before the stage show, and they found the professor's office.
    Left off the session after the battle at the theater, where the crew will do some downtime activity to likely do more investigations before getting summoned to the noodle shop

    I ran my guys through a version of this. It went pretty much according to plan. My intro was via a NCPD detective that the characters have an "in" with. Final battle the netrunner got into one turret but bailed as it was too dangerous and the party cyborg tacked a turret over and turned it on the second turret. Poor old Lord Ruthven barely got a slash off after his villiain's soliloquy. My players really worked on their Wardrobe and Style skills for the vampire show. It was quite funny. One thing I had my guys find was a title deed to the chapel. Through some legal shenanigan they made themselves the trustees and took ownership of the chapel to turn it into their base of operations and night club.

  • @JasperKazai
    @JasperKazai Год назад

    Cool recap. I agree that it does seem a bit linear. I'd maybe remove, or at least delay, the noodle truck invitation part. Introduce some other plot thread that the players could follow to lead them to that info on their own. Thinking off the top of my head, perhaps something like this: first, incentivize the players to visit the professor's office earlier. Have clues in that office that directly point to the professor being a vampire. Then, once the opera shooting occurs, because it took place in a non-combat zone, the police are actually investigating. The players took part in the fight, so the police were turned onto them by witnesses. They're called in for questioning. While in the police station, they overhear chatter that would somehow lead them to try and visit the Vampires on their own. I don't know, this is all just a quick idea. I'm sure something much better and actually good could be drummed up with enough thought.
    You could always revert back to the noodle truck part if the players are clearly stuck without any idea on how to progress.

    I used this module for the start of a campaign and made some changes, like the attack on the opera house and the motivation for lord ruthven to kidnap womans, also added that one if my players characthers girlfriend was among the other kidnaped, I believe this is a great intro campaign for people who have only played fantasy rpgs since it has sort of a "dungeon" and big bad monster at the end of the story

    You pointed out some things very interesting. Most notably is nothing sounded cyberpunk unless told explicitly is very cyberpunk. As you summarize here, it sounds just at home in a pathfinder session.
    So definitely is where I would spend my time. Take all the classic horror tropes but really cyberpunk it out. Then bring in the investigation.
    If it was me? I would have the common thread between all the missing students be something to do with the theatre showing perhaps. Find tickets to different shows. Have the villian be a patron and being where he sees these brides.
    This gives options for show as well. Get tickets? Sneak in? And reason those goombas break in is to get something of our missing girl from her role. Being a lead would be too obvious. But perhaps she was an understudy who took the role for one night. So they attacked to get 'what is hers'

    I would have the players needing to make reports back to their benefactor regularly. Then have the master use that info,nation to send some member out to cover it up. So if the players backtrack, they may run into them.
    The Professor need a laky that act as his "mortal slave." One that can gather what the Professor needs and the like. Then lets the players follow him/her around to find the hidout.
    Edited to added:
    Then at the end have a player look in a mirror and see floating clothes only to look back to see the Professor in those clothes just leaving the player view.

    I agree about the linearity of the scenario, but honestly, that appeals. I haven't run any Cyberpunk since the 90's and so for me this scenario is a great jumping in point as a GM for the mechanics of the new version. I keep meaning to run this, but just haven't yet.

    In a way, this reminds me of a straight to video movie from 1987, called, "Vampire at Midnight". It is a bad movie, but I really like the premise of the plot. No spoilers, but it is about LAPD detective hunting a "vampire-like serial killer" who is a motivational specialist.

    Fun fact to reply to an offhand comment by jack: Cyberpunk DOES have a sanity/revulsion mechanic. You can temporarily lose humanity if you're subjected to scenes like the one your characters were. Anything particularly horrifying can cause you to take this loss, and the only means to cure it is therapy or a vacation, basically. Neither of which are cheap.
