I made a score.

I made a score.

I made a score. It worked great for a first session but it should also work mid-campaign. I didn’t flesh out the complications section, but if inspiration strikes I will.

Obviously this uses the same structure as Sean Nittner’s Gaddoc Rail Station: https://plus.google.com/+SeanNittner/posts/TMfsEZm7NfU

Kudos also to Chris Boyd’s thoughts that provoked me to think about the Church of the Ecstasy of the Flesh and its opponents: https://plus.google.com/114451952512667903737/posts/bqmpCEoA38t

I also reference Dirk Detweiler Leichty’s excellent one-pager Bleakwood House oddities. When I ran this score, this sheet gave just enough to inspire.

  1. Cheers John. I’m glad it jives with you so much. Most of this vision of the Church is Chris Boyd’s, but I just loved it so I had to use it for a Score.

    I had a lot of fun thinking through the drives of the Heretics, the office of the  Apex and other bent things. I initially tied each Score to one Patron, like a package deal, mainly because I wanted to create competing agendas between enemies of the Church. I thought that might provide interesting fodder for after the score, where the players have not only screwed the Church but angered or hurt a couple of other factions, who may continue to pursue those goals too. Eventually I realised letting the players mix-and-match would totally allow this too, so I split them apart like Sean Nittner’s score does.

  2. With a friend, I finished the complications. Here’s a copy:

    A friend of a crewmate turns up as an initiate of the Church. Why are they committed to the Church? What favour do you owe them and why?

    Indulge your every vice and every vice indulged! Abstinence is sin! How well can you work after indulging your vice? Why would you resist and how?

    The festival and its revelry is like blood in the water and ghosts are the sharks. Where will their frenzy break through Bleakwood’s defenses? How will the Church respond?
