Matt and I decided a while ago that our Changeling game has hit an appropriate pausing point. Mostly we decided this because one of our players announced he couldn't make time to play for the foreseeable future. And it appears, to us at least, that said player hates the game.
This completely blindsided us, and is a tricky obstacle we will eventually have to deal with. But for now we decided to just start a new game.
Deadlands, a western themed shoot-em-up adventure with monsters, mad-scientists and the occasional zombie, sounds like a hoot to me. Matt will be running this one solo, though we spent some time throwing ideas around for an opening the other night. I like that he considers me objective enough to help him kink out (mostly spoiler free) details of his story.
So far our party will consist of a gambler with minimal gun skills, a lawyer with moderate gun skills, a former sheriff with amazing gun skills, and a young lady who controls demons. *cough*
I had to scrap most of my beginning ideas for a character, because I kept remembering exactly which Clint Eastwood movie they came from. I finally decided on a character with enough horror in his background for my liking, but sidestepping enough cliches that someone can't point and go, "Hey, that's the dude from Quick and the Dead!"
Besides, if they did that I'd just be like, "Shows what you know. It's the dude from The Magnificent Seven. Douche."
