GURPS Supers Newport Academy #9: “Welcome To My Nightmare”

Two in the morning, or maybe dusk. A knife, a gun, and a case of sleepwalking. Hallways that refuse to stay put. “Usually I’m buried.” The world’s smokiest dorm room. Zone of silence. Disco emergency. The Exorcist and an exorcised television. Cockroaches, potions, and a very large chicken. Listen for the chimes. “You’re going to ruin everything!”

GURPS Supers Newport Academy #8: “Invitation to the future.. of the 1970’s: Part II”

Fem-bot roll call. Locked doors and bad footing. Boob-guns and grandfathers. Possessed roller skates. A six-headed wipeout. “I think we’re going to just pack it up and go home.” Three trials before the Blood Moon. Home Alone protocol.

GURPS Supers Newport Academy #7: “Invitation to the future.. of the 1970’s”

Bear repairs. Date night at the Galleria. Invitations. A stern warning and dire consequences. The Match Game and skating lessons. Dance off! “Can’t let you ruin the party…”

How I Ruined My Group For Ritual Path Magic

I’ve always appreciated open-ended magic systems. I ran several campaigns of Mage: The Awakening, back when it was new. I loved the system presented in the 3rd edition GURPS Voodoo: The Shadow War. (It was the 90’s, everything was “Foo: The Bar”. Just like everything these days is “A Foo of Bar and Baz”, thanks for that, Mr. Martin.) And I loved it even more when it grew up through the Monster Hunters series into the the 4th edition GURPS Thaumatology: Ritual Path Magic system.

So, of course, just about ten years ago, I tried to introduce RPM to my group. And I ruined it for them. Listen to my tale of woe.

GURPS Supers Newport Academy #6: “Old Friends, New Again”

New kind of egg at breakfast. “Guess what?” Planned revenge. A big head and a field trip. Chaos at the museum. Crowd control. Plan of the Cave Bear. Saffron takes a ride.

GURPS Supers Newport Academy #5 – Guest Synopsis

I missed session #5, so here’s the special guest synopsis.

GURPS Supers Newport Academy #4: “Picnic! at the Disco”

Curfew and a frame job. Classes. A great escape. A good time, not a memorable one. Malaise. Aliens, demons, vampires… or just disco? Investigations. Dead guy in a dumpster. Flora and Fauna. “Invincible, baby!” Cone of silence. Rapid escalation and ignominious defeat. Someone loses an eye.

GURPS Supers Newport Academy #3: “Season Of The Witch”

Bar brawl and rough diplomacy. New friends. Never meet your heroes. Back alley deals. A grave situation. Snake identification pop quiz. The tussle in the tree. Meeting the mayor. Explosive results. A drummer regrets taking a gig. “Is the baby ok?” Two curses, an impound yard, and a cowboy hat.

GURPS Supers Newport Academy #2: “Jailbreak”

All-nighter for some. Waffles. Sparrow identified. To the library! Deciphering clues. Downtown Vibora Bay. Vans gone wild! Big wet dog! School children in peril! “I can’t believe they send babies to prison in this country!” A deal with the devil. The Doctor.

GURPS Supers Newport Academy #1: “Orientation”

Vibora Bay‘s Newport Academy. Drop-off and admissions. Social anxieties. Promises of pizza, and protests. Who are we supposed to be rescuing? Mystic hijinks. Dinner, doodles, and deductions. Reviewing the evidence.
