Much to my disappointment, I was not able to run my beloved GLITCH again at RetCon III; this was due to a combination of factors, including a terrible time-slot, last-minute addition of the game to the schedule, and a bratty player walking out because he was unhappy with not one, but two characters I offered him.

By and by, in a normal DRT you take what you’re given and you play it, you don’t get to pick and choose. The only reason I offered him a second character was I NEEDED the last player to make the module work; his tantrum literally killed the module for everyone.

BUT, all was not lost, for while my first module fell apart, it meant I got to go sit down and bother my favorite GM, Mage Mistress.

She was running a game of WoD: Innocents and already had a Bully, Thief, Prankster, and Mixologist at the table. When he slid the remaining PC options over to me my eyes lit up with glee at the sight of the Hacker (I immediately thought of Alec Hardison).

And then I saw the other option.

Two words: Con Artist.

I was sold.

While a couple of my favorite modules have been serious stories, I feel I am much better at setting up comedic modules. Since I’ll be running the DRAMATIC ROLEPLAYING TOURNAMENT at RetCon, I’ll be reprising not only GLITCH, but a module I call SUPERNATURAL COUPLES’ THERAPY.

SUPERNATURAL COUPLES THERAPY (SNCT for short) is sort-of my knee-jerk reaction to things like TWILIGHT* and TRUE BLOOD*. I like my supernatural creatures to be dark, threatening, and–most importantly–they’d better not sparkle.

I thought it might be hilarious to parody these Supernatural Love Stories with the other side of love: Couples’ Therapy.

As for the couples, with a full cast (of thirteen characters) I have:

  • Dr. Quinn, the therapist.
  • Vic her assistant.
  • Eddie, a vampire (with a problematic ex-wife, Izzy).
  • Steffy, Eddie’s new girlfriend.
  • Tessa, a werewolf.
  • Beau, Tessa’s boyfriend, who wasn’t expecting his girlfriend to double as “Man’s best friend.”
  • Mike “Deva,” a fallen Angel.
  • Naomi, Mike’s Jewish girlfriend.
  • J.O. 131-B (“Jo”), a time traveler.
  • Lydia, Jo’s girlfriend.
  • Ella, a sweet girl.
  • Thomas, Ella’s boyfriend.
  • Sam, Ella’s fairy godparent.

And here’s the official poster for SNCT (yes, I’m aware of the typo).

SNCT FLIER

Now, if you’ve paid attention to anything I’ve posted, you probably know there’s a twist or two to this story . . . but to find out, you’ll need to come play! 😀

I hope to see you at RetCon!

*Note how I didn’t link to either of these. I only link to things I have some respect for, even if it’s just a grudging respect.

What is your quest?
