Wings Over the Pyre

Looks like they’ll offer me a free badge to AWA if I’ll run a few games. I had a few moments of inspiration, and this is where the madness took me:

Friday

3pm

PS666: Finals

System: Wushu

The characters are students at PS666, a school for young sorcerers, their children, or other supernatural beings. Finals are here! Can the students make it through to the other side with decent grades?

Chargen will be on-site. No experience necessary.

5p

Invaders

System: Capes

Players assume the roles of both aliens and humans as interplanetary invaders attack the world of 2175. The unique nature of Capes means everyone gets to play every side of the conflict. Who’ll fall in love, who’ll destroy a city, and whose giant robots will reign supreme!?

Chargen will be on-site. No experience necessary.

Saturday

1:30p

Rikanishu Chu-Chu

System: Capes

Rakinishu was just an average guy, fresh out of high school, trying to deal with college, and holding down a part-time job as a a data entry clerk at the bank. That was until the Chu-Chus showed up, mischievous spirits that make your dreams come true. Unfortunately for Rak, he dreamed of the beautiful girls he wished were in his life. Can he find happiness in the Chu-Chus’ projections or is the real girl of his dreams elsewhere?

Chargen will take place on-site except for Rak, who’ll be pre-gen. No experience necessary.

3:30p

PS666: Prom Date

System: Wushu

The characters are all students at PS666, a school for young sorcerers, their children, and other supernatural beings. Can they get through prom with their hearts intact … and in their chest?

Characters from Friday’s PS666 strongly encouraged to return.

Chargen will occur on-site. No experience necessary.

I realize two hour slots per game might be pulling it kind of tight, but I’m wagering there’ll be so little interest one or the other will get dumped. Luckily for my evil planning, both Wushu and Capes can really easily add people as the game goes on, so it’s not a huge burden if folks want to jump in or out.

Now, the real question becomes “is it worth billing these games as run by the co-author of Hearts, Swords and Flowers?” On the one hand, it’s completely true. And I’ve definitely constructed all four premises to have definite shoujo overtones (or, in some cases, whole palettes). On the other … well, is that even a selling point? Are there HSF fangirls/boys? One shudders to think.

Assuming these games get approval, next step’ll be doing plot and character/relationship graphs for the Wushu games and a fist-full of characters/situations for the Capes games.
