25th Anniversary RPG - Interest Thread

[Stake fodder]

I loved the first posts! I laughed at how Giles is now having to use a computer for his emails, but still behind the times!

maybe let’s keep the Tara part for later? But we can keep the Anya stuff. This is like season 1 Buffy, so I don’t want too many of the later seasons coming in to play so quick. Maybe Dawn like one of the memory realities from her new existence..

Well I didn’t mention a last name, so maybe it’s Tara Strong doing some research for a new role? 😉

Switching up the big bad for Darla. Sorry to all the Master-fans out there! (We can still have him in the story with flashbacks though if anyone really misses him 😀 )

Also... sorry for the lack of dialogue in this last post.

So we are not doing a traditional RPG. You can just jump in and add from the last scene posted. More of an evolving story than each person playing individual characters! Feel free to add from the most recent post!

I swear I will add on to the story, my brain has just been really foggy. It’s like having “sick brain”, where everything is all groggy, but I'm not sick! 😵 Have to be fully functioning to come up with diabolical ways to destroy Cohen’s narrative plotting 😉

Threw out a neato burrito section, and I hope it draws some eyeballs! Excited to see what the next bit is in this tangled web of ours. 🙂

Darla also mentions the word “night”. This is just in general and does not indicate the time of day, currently. So don’t let that stop you from writing something still set during the afternoon! 😉

I may have threw out a new twist in the Darla scenario, revealing her motives to Angel. Oh, and a little hinty-hint of her power, thanks to that last section by @Plasma . If Darla's going to be a foe, I want to make sure she brings her A-game. 😈

Did you really give her the Gem of Amara?! 😭 Dang, the Scoobies are gonna be in for it now!

New section is up for anyone interested! Please, feel free to contribute. Whether it’s one sentence or fifteen, your contribution makes it all the more fun 🙂

 

[Cohen]

It was your fault! You gave me the idea! I think it will make for a good threat!!

I loved your introduction into vampires for Willow and Xander!! Buffy’s quip sounded like her and Willow felt like season 1. What the Boom! Comics should have been!

 

[ChaseRules]

Going to mix things up a bit . Hopefully not too much 😀

 

[Plasma]

You do whatever you like! It’s more fun if we get crazy with it 🙂 @ChaseRules

Anyone else who wants to join this RPG, please feel free to take the reins. It's an alternate version of the original first episodes (Welcome to the Hellmouth/The Harvest), with some curveballs. It's only 2 pages long so far, so easy to catch up.

Right now:

I've set up for Willow and Jesse to have their first encounter with vampires. One of them will be kidnapped, and potentially sacrificed during the Harvest. The other will survive the attack with Buffy.

Meanwhile, I've also set up for Xander and Cordelia to possibly have their own encounter as they run towards the gym. I know @ChaseRules you previously had Cordelia run to her car, and then keep running, so Xander could join her and then possibly encounter vampires.

Giles is still in the library, Anya has run off by herself but could potentially show up in the library with Giles. Darla has mysteriously disappeared back into the night, and Angel is always lurking somewhere.

All are welcome to turn the story.

This is a non-traditional RPG, where instead of everyone getting their own character, they add to the whole story. You can write in prose (like @Plasma and ChaseRules) or traditional RPG (like me). The fun part is to lead off with something that another person can take and run with. Don't do anything too outlandish though. Subtle nudges to the story work best, because it allows for people to pick up and turn it. You want to encourage buildup and payoff, not stop it in its tracks!
