[HoE] the game I run
I run a game of HOE at my school (www.sudval.org). It's a lot of fun, and
it's affected by the different atmosphere, cause there are lots and lots of
people around. Also our sessions tend to be rather short, and it's all
affected because one of our players is Clerk of the Judicial Commitee (the
organ that deals justice in school-democratically. go to the website).
Anyhoo, these are the characters-
Lincoln Powell- a honorable, big mouthed Law Dog. Is looking foward to
fanning his pistol, he's seen it done a lot on TV.
Lilly Henmann- a high falutin, stubborn, curious Librarian, the daughter of
an late Movie Town director. her player is going to be in Hawaii for two
weeks.
Desmond- a ugly, obese, flatulant Doomsayer who can breath underwater. Just
joined the posse.
Nikki Rosa- a purty, gun-less Templar. Blessed by St.Earp and St.Blaze.
Extroadinarily nimble.
Lizzy Fay Fyfield- A soccer mom turned gunslinger. Likes to shoot
"hooligans". The posse's driverm (she has a mini-van).
Lunine- a savage, a 8 year old stuck in a 16 year old body. The Librarian is
teaching her how to read.
At first, the posse didn't have Desmond. Desmond's player played a Veteran of
the Wierd West, a Mad Scientist. Since the game originally centered around
Movie Town, the scientist's punishment was a bunch of movie charachters
attacking him, that only he could see. They included the people from
Clockwork Orange, Wesley Snipes from Demolition Man, Dirty Harry, and Haley
Mills, among others.
The Movie Town campaign was about solving the murders of the Director's
critics. Jean (The critic who was killing them off to frame the Director) had
turned into a Servitor of Death. At first, his weakness was espresso
withdrawl. After expirmenting with his espresso, the posse thought he was an
android. After Lilly's best friend (Tory Spelling the IV) was killed by this
guy in a dream of Lilly's, and in real life, they started figuring stuff out.
They could only defeat him by beating him in Movie Trivial Pursuit. The
Director himself beat Jean, and Jean commited suicide on the Templar's sword.
The Mad Scientist went mad, and killed the Director and almost killed the
Librarian. The local Law Dog (a NPC, Jane Swindall's brother) killed the
scientist on the spot.
After spreading the tale of the great deed, they headed for the Grand Library
in Sacramento. After fighting a hippy commune that was worshiping the Croaker
Goddess, they found their way there. At that point, Lilly had a delayed
reaction to a drug a hippy gave her, and passed out (basically, this is an
excuse to keep the character around till Boise for 2 weeks, when her player
will be back). I think in between the posse and their new destination
(Boise), they'll meet some freemen. Any tips?
