====== One Big Episode ====== These are the notes I used to run a buffy oneshot that com­bined most ideas from the en­tire se­ries in one episode. The orig­i­nal sce­nar­i­oi “Who In­vit­ed You” was on­ly cthe #Spring Break and #Birth­day Par­ty

Prep:

  • Char sheets

  • PC Mini’s

  • PC Map

  • Dra­­ma point stones

  • Clue cards

“Be­ing a one-shot this is a lot more di­rect­ed. There’s wig­gle room and hope­ful­ly you’ll think up stuff I failed to, not alot though. But be­fore the cred­its roll you’re gonna save the day or all die try­ing. There is noth­ing else.”

== Jobs == I have one job, jour­nal keep­er. Worth 1d­p.

== Pass out char­ac­ters == Based on what we did long ago I’ve pre­gen­er­at­ed char­ac­ter­s. No one chose a com­bat ori­ent­ed char­ac­ter and it shows. You are re­al­ly smart and each of you has a rockin skill or abil­i­ty. To avoid be­com­ing a Clee­tus snack you will haf­ta work to­geth­er and use the strenghts you do have. I’m not say­ing you should­n’t have com­bat, but when you do fight, fight smart.

Hope­ful­ly your skill­s, abilites, and equip­ment com­pli­ment each oth­er.

Check out your “Role with­in the group”, “Strength­s”, “Weak­ness­es”. This will give you an idea of what I was think­ing while cre­at­ing this Episode. At some points your char will be darn near use­less. Ev­ery­one, hope­ful­ly, has a place to shine.

Take note of your draw­back­s. I have and will de­ny ac­tions tremen­dous­ly in con­flict with them.

A cou­ple of you have the ad­van­tage “con­tact­s”.

==== How do we play Buffy any­way ====

Drama points:
You got 10 not 20, here have some stones 9white 1 red one

1 “Get a break” - form of plot twist. Once on­ly, red stone. 1 “I’m the shin dig­gy” - +10 bonus to most any roll 1 “But a Scratch” - get back half the life point dam­age tak­en so far do it again and again 2 “Righ­teous Fury!” - You need rea­son­able cause, get +5 to at­tacks for 1 com­bat 5-10 “I’m not dead yet” - 5 come­back next scene, 10 come­back now 3 “Buy a Clue” - These [show card­s] a flash­ing signs this way.

If your floud­er­ing buy one.

“I want more”

Use them! Horders will be de­nied. 1 In the buffy style, quotable quotes. 1-2 Be a hero. 1-3 To­taly and un­fair­ly shaft­ed by the di­rec­tor. I shall pay for the priv­i­lege.

=== Ba­sic Rolls === ++ The Skill Rol­l: add you skil­l, it’s at­tribute, and a d10. For most skills I’ve pre­cal­cu­lat­ed the skil­l/a­tribute and list­ed +x. Just add d10 to that.

++ The At­tribute Rol­l: add the two at­tributes or dou­ble a sin­gle at­tribute add d10

++ Suc­cess Lev­el­s: See Charsheet. How well you do is a fac­tor some­times, al­so things like aim­ing and feint­ing add their suc­cess lev­els to the next at­tack.

++ Op­posed Ac­tion­s: I will say a num­ber and you have to beat it to hit, com­mon for com­bat.

=== The Wig­gins === Scary shit scares you. It is a willpow­er check. Gun­der­son and Mia are im­mune, Gun­der cause he grew up hav­ing parts of his friends reg­u­lar­ly splat­tered on his face, Mia cause that’s just the kind of girl she is.

=== Com­bat === Each turn has 3 part­s:

  • In­­ten­­tions - tell me what you want to do

  • In­i­­ti­a­­tive - no rol­l, my supreme wis­­dom I de­­cide who when

  • Ac­­tions - stuff hap­pens

Each turn you may at­tack once and de­fend once (doge or par­ry).

All those things list­ed un­der com­bat ma­neu­vers are com­bat ma­neu­ver­s. I’ve cal­cu­lat­ed the bonus (add to d10) and the base dam­age.

The NPC’s don’t roll they have a com­bat score that you must beat to hit or dodge them. For in­stance Clee­tus score is 14, that means most of you have to roll 9 or 10 or blow a dra­ma point to pop him one in the kiss­er.

Suc­cess lev­els of at­tack is added to base dam­age and any ar­mor is sub­tract­ed. The re­sult is dam­age that gets through. Blunt dam­age is fur­ther re­duced by tough­ness Man­nie has 4pts of cause he’s so rub­bery and flex­i­ble. Pointy/­cut­ty weapons dam­age is dou­bled.

Just a few more com­bat de­tails and we are good to go.

++ Full de­fense: gets you 2 de­fense ac­tions and +3 bonus Full at­tack: bon­za­i! 2 at­tacks +2 bonus

++ Ar­mor: Ev­ery­one has ac­cess to a Ju­lia or GBA mili­tia uni­for­m, see char sheet. It’s worth 10 vs bul­lets and bash 5 vs slash & stab. Mul­let­tov has a full EOD suit and on­ly hi-­cal­iber guns or mag­ic will jack his legs. Man­nie’s par­ents bought him some tricky ar­mor.

===== Spring Break ===== Read Cutscene-Pic­nic

School Lunch - Fri­day

Nice sun­ny day, birds are chirp­ing, air is sweet with flow­ers from the gar­den.

Man­nie, Mi­a, Gun­der hang­ing in the school cour­yard dur­ing lunch, var­i­ous kids and teach­ers are milling about. Wendy comes skip­ping up. “La la la. Per­fect the last three of my de­liv­er­ies” “y­ou, you,” do­ing a cart­wheel and flip “and you.” “Don’t be late, la la la” she sings skip­ping away.

Mari­a, pop­u­lar girl of pre­vi­ous grade, to Gun­der­son “Um, ex­cuse me what’s your name” with hand­ie en­ters in­fo “How much can you lift, with those legs I mean” “Do you need to recharge them?” “how long”

She will get scared, screech and run away. Then Apu Wein­berge, Jr Var­si­ty are­na com­bat champ comes up to bul­ly. “Hey Dun­der­son why you pick­ing on girl­s?”

Keep­ing him down “Mi­ako­da you’re smart why do you hang with these dork­s?”

Just then a lunch tray flies through the air tag­ging Apu in the back of the knee and he col­laps­es to the ground. Must of been the wind.

Ce­les­tine en­ter­s: Wendy gave you one ealier [Give Ce­les­tine her in­vite] you were walk­ing up when this hap­pened and feel the urge for some teach­er dis­ci­pline ac­tion.

Anony­mous Gift: Bi­cy­cle mes­sen­ger pedels up “Pack­age for Miss Wendy.” “Ooh that’s me. More pre­sents, more pre­sents” She grabs it Del­ga­do signs for it. “Where’s it from?” “Dude, dis­patch­er tells me to de­liv­er pack­age, I de­liv­er it. Where it go is all the fo I need to know. btw nice hat, show long!” mes­sen­ger races of­f. Mean­while Wendy has ripped off the out­er pack­ag­ing to reaveal a 10cm met­al and plas­tic cube with a big red but­ton up fron­t. Del­gao, “Um, we have a look be­fore we touch?” But Wendy has al­ready pushed the but­ton with both tiny thumbs and a gig­gle. A small holo-­gram of a jok­er or fool flop­py hat check­ered cloths and shoes that end in bell­s. It dances a lit­tle jig and sings this tune.

===== Straw­ber­ry Hill ===== You can’t see, ev­ery­thing is dark. You feel like the wa­ter rush­ing down a stream, drops of wa­ter pass­ing from rock to rock, node to node. You be­gin to un­der­stand you find your­selfs stand­ing in a clear­ing on top of a wood­ed hill. There is a 5-8m de­pres­sion in the ground with some sort of nat­u­ral al­ter at one end. Off to the side there is a large por­ta­ble fu­el cell and be­yond that a Sat Dish. Ca­bles from the dish and cell run in­to a very trick look­ing rack of com­put­er­s. Sev­er­al more ca­bles run from the com­put­ers to the cen­ter of the de­pres­sion and up in­to a glow­ing, shim­mer­ing ball of light. In the mid­dle of this light sits lo­tus style a mid­dle aged wom­en with long straight brown hair. Her eyes are closed and her face wears a serene smile. It is hard to stare at the light but she ap­pears to be au nat­u­ral.

“Hel­lo I am the old man of the net oth­er­wise known as Wil­low.” her lips have not moved.
