A Penny For My Thoughts (Alternate Senarios)
A couple of scenarios I'm intending to try out at Gencon given a few interested peoples. Some of this is borrowed from suggestions on the SG thread. http://www.story-games.com/forums/comments.php?DiscussionID=9673 I still would like to put one of these together dealing with 'heroes journeys' (Hercules, Odysseus, etc). I'm just too tired to look all that up right now but I think it'd work.
TIME TRAVEL
Facts & Reassurances
- You are a member of a research team that discovered a method of time travel.
- Time travel only works into the past.
- You are not allowed to bring any divergent technology with you on a trip.
- You were attempting to handle some sort of target (an event, object, or person).
- We are unsure what made you lose your memories. But it was during a mission into the past.
- Technology other than your teams discovery is similar to what you remember. Your team does have access to cutting edge though.
- You are healthy and trained to go on these missions but are not superhuman.

Questionnaire.
2 pennies "Recall the first time you time travelled"
3 pennies "Recall a conflict that almost caused a paradox"
4 pennies "Recall your last mission and the cause the paradox and your amnesia"
Do you want to correct the paradox?
ANCIENT ENTITIES
Facts & Reassurances
-You are a supernatural being currently bound in Human Form. Somehow a group, individual or event has hidden your true nature not only from others but from yourself, you don't remember it but you are some manner of faerie, angel, spirit, demon or otherworldly entity currently restricted to a human body.
-It is the Twenty-First Century. That is not to say that you haven't possibly live for a significant amount of time compared to most humans, you may indeed have existed for many millenia, however if you have memories of strange magic, super advanced technology or weird and sinister alien devices they are likely not of human origin.
- You may have abilities far beyond those of the typical mortals of this century.
- To most people the world is a mundane place. People see wonders and terrors from simple and personal things, like the birth of a child or the death of a loved one. But to a lucky few there are wonders and terrors in this world that are beyond mortal imagination; gods, angels, demons, spirit, faeries and all many of other supernatural creatures roam the world and the spaces between worlds. Mostly, hidden from the sight of the mundane populace. If you have memories of magic, supernatural beings or otherworldly landscapes, do not immediately dismiss them as fantasy.
Questionnaire.
2 pennies "Recall what happened the day before you came to the Institute"
3 pennies "Recall what happened when you almost remembered who you were"
4 pennies "Recall the origins of your amnesia and your identity"
