So I’m planning on starting a D20 Modern campaign about mid February. And I would like some help with coming up with some story lines.
Here’s the set-up so far.
Place: Denver (because it’s a good size city that’s not NY, LA, LV, SF, Seattle, DC, etc… and I used to live there.)
Players: Two ex-Air Force Officers. Both worked in a secret military compound where they encountered some extra-dimensional technology. One went suffered mental problems and was sent to psych ward. An astute Psychiatrist recognized budding psychic power.
The other developed some unusual physical side effects. An accident got the officer sent to a court marshal. Now out on probation, he is supervised by a Colorado Court Judge.
Another player is a ghost of a 1920’s wealthy Denver family. He was assassinated by the mafia and later partially resurrected in a 1960s by a hippy who botched a resurrection spell.
A fourth player has yet to give me what he plans on playing.
Major NPCs: A wealthy family living in Deer Creek Canyon on the grave a certain ghost. They have established a kind of compound where they keep people with unusual abilities on as staff. The owner is a property developer who has some precognitive abilities. His wife is a Colorado Court Judge.
The neighbor of the property developer, is a psychiatrist who shares a strong interest in the in the neighboring compound and it unusual residents. He often visits.
Bad Guys: the Amalekites. As in from the Old Testament. When King Saul failed to slay all of the Amalekites as ordered, several escaped to a Hell Dimension where they created a new society. They briefly appeared in the New World a couple hundred years later, but where driven out. Now they are returning and establishing a base of operation in the Rocky Mountains with plans to roll forth from the mountains to destroy the world.
Now the ancient tribe of Amalekites has gone through some changes. They have become a race of super-beings possessing incredible regenerative abilities and some enhanced features. They can only be killed by the sound of a ram’s horn (recording don’t work) as that they have a sensitive membrane in their ears that can be shattered by a ram’s horn. This membrane is connected to an artery causing them to bleed to death out their ears.
Because they were in a Hell Dimension they have some vulnerabilities to religious items. Now who could have brought them to a Hell Dimension? Could it be Satan? So I feel justified in saying that Amalekites have a averse reaction to consecrated oil and they have an psychophysical aversion to the star of David.
The Amelekites have a strict social class system including soldiers, assassins, spies, and rulers (specifically Agag and the Sons of Agag). They have also brought with them some new technology from their own dimension.
Other Bad Guys: A foursome of junior high girls how have developed telepathic abilities which they proceed to use irresponsibly. Team Teen Girl Squad Evil.
So that a lot of what I have at the moment. What would be some good story-lines?
