One shot game idea for Free RPG Day
Posted: Wed May 09, 2007 1:24 pm
Hi all.
I'm currently working on ideas for one shot adventures, hopefully not taking more than 2 hours a piece, to show off OVA to those who may not know about it. I had thought about the Starstone Treasure, but it would take too long to run.
What I while I was working on something else, a thought struck me. Power Rangers!
Yeah, I know.. cheesy. But Sentai shows area all around us. Power Rangers, Voltron, Sailor Moon, etc... they are all Sentai styled. And wouldn't it be fun to make a game around a group of five teenagers who have special powers that allow them to take down a monster?
I'm thinking a new sentai group working together for their first mission would be a good one-shot. Regardless of how it turns out, it is their first teaming, and if you have seen these things, they almost never go right until the very end. You are going to have those who don't understand their powers, some who don't want to be part of the team, those who are trying to get everyone to work together...
It'd be just like the group that is sitting at the table. They've most likely never played together either. Most, if not all of them, will not have played a game of OVA before, so they will have questions about the rules. Soem people will be headstrong in that they know what is right and will try to take the lead while another may try to get them all to work together.
In making a one shot like this, not only will it show the rules, but I hope will bring the players into the setting a little better.
What do you think?
