Hey all
So I've been lucky enough to have a second group on tap for the past few weeks- our Sunday night crew have played a few Call of Cthulhu games, and we've had fun. Now that Semester is starting up again, we're starting to fall off to attrition- one student has an activity this week, another prof has to get stuff graded....
Last adventure, we had a real interest for running a Buffy Game. I'd plan on changing it over, but then the whole "Ten little indians thing" started.
So I was thinking for the four who COULD make it this week- I'd like to do a "pilot" episode for a Grizzly Peak setting (as presented in the Slayers Handbook). My question is, if I'm going to ambush the PCs with "Hey, your normal HS kids in riral Oregon" to "Holy crap- you've got totem-based super powers! You're stronger/faster/tougher!" whats the best way to make that transition? I'd rather it not be super heavy-handed, but I still need to get it done in about 4 hours.
Overall plot- PCs have visions of their totem animal, get hunted/herded by monsters/wendigo, have their powers kick in, fight some baddies...and there I get stuck. Any suggestions?
