Brainstorming: Adventures in the Dresdenverse

<< < (6/6)

Ophidimancer:
An exclusive clinic offers "reparative" therapy to change the sexual orientation of homosexual patients seems to have a booming business until people start turning up dead.  A few staff members and patients of the clinic end up dead of apparent suicide and one patient is discovered by the White Council to be possessed of strong mental magic.

It all seems over except for the beheading when someone notices that the clinic has connections to Skavis and Raith.  The strongest evidence is an electronic money trail, though, and is regarded skeptically by most of the older wizards.

Corbin DeBec:
Hoping nobody i'd play with will see this. 

Imaging you're a young up start wizard/wizards, you've stayed off the radar not so much hiding from the council, if you even knew it was around but fear you will be called a freak/freaks, but you've used your talents to help friends and family so a reputation has been formed.

Set up, a group of relgious fanatics go on a modern day witch hunt, they catch wind of  your and the groups talents and come after you more than likely will try to burn you at the stake in some remote national forest or wearhouse.

twist one, the council is trying to track the group down too, so the players are facing two mysterious groups tracking them eventually the council will tell them of the laws of magic and if they break those laws then they will be hunted by the council as well.  And since the fanatics are human norms well that poses a problem

twist two, the fanatics are in reality lead and fooled by a vampire, you pick flavor of the day as far as court you want to use, his/her goal is to track down upstart wizards and kill them before the council can recruit them.

twist three, some of the local authorities are members of the fanatics.

end result, destroy the vampire, earn a good mark with the council for saving other wizards from future harm and not hurting the norms or destroy everybody and be under probation if not hunted by the council.

also a reason this in my opinion would make a good intro the the dresden world and a campaign would be that whenever things are going smooth and you need to "living" things up a bit, throw a disgruntled fanatic into a future session to keep the group on their toes. if they are now under the eye of the  council the laws of magic still apply.

Harlan Quinn:
I've been thinking that Vegas would be a good city for a campaign.
 
Gambling,Show Business,The Mob, Elvis, and more would be a great combination.    I've even got a couple of NPC's thought of:
 
Fenris - A stage magician at the Ice Palace, who may or may not be Loki The Trickster.  He has true magical powers and is associated in some form with the Winter Court. 
 
The King - An Elvis impersonator who can speak with the dead.

ROFL XD
That is SO a Dresden idea! Dude, if Butcher had the opportunity, I bet he'd throw him in for shiggles and gits, that's great.
If ya throw that guy into an ongoing larp, he should be a running gag character, kinda like Butters or The Box Ghost. (Kudos if ya got that one.)

TheMouse:
A body shows up in the swamp, near the mall. It shows signs of having been bound, hand and foot, with some sort of manacles. The heart and some other organs have been surgically removed. Most disturbingly, the person seems to have been alive when the cutting started. The police have no solid leads.

Clues lead the PCs to the local university, to a group of pre-med students. It seems that some among their number have made a pact with a demonic creature to get into Harvard medical, and the body was just part of their pact, a sacrifice. The details of the sacrifice imply a type of demon which will require more, precisely timed sacrifices. Three are required on the upcoming new moon, which is tomorrow night.

Oh, and the local White Court considers campus their private hunting ground. With the war going the way it is, pissing off the White Court is absolutely not an option.

Find the killers, stop the sacrifice, and make nice with the local White Court, all while dodging the efforts of a powerful demonic entity and campus police. No pressure, or anything.
