Events So Far

Our heroes have rescued Sue Sakamoto from Igor, a former Mimiga turned into a monster by unknown powers. Sue is now transformed into the form of a Mimiga herself, thanks to the power of Misery, as she escaped the Doctor's clutches. Sue has been hiding out within Toroko's house, though Toroko has been kidnapped by Misery and Balrog. She's been searching out clues as to where her family have been hidden. It's taken some time, but finally she receives a message from Kazuma. A message, and a code for a new teleport pad.

Other Information

Contrast and juxtaposition. The story is about caves that are high in the air. The theme is modern science amidst ancient magic. NPCs are comedic and in many cases cute, but their fates and prospects are grim.

We're looking for a few good men, women, and other. The plot will continue for several sessions and there will be opportunity for players to switch in and out based on real life needs and conflicting scenes. While I'd love to see a recurring core group, I'll try to allow for as many participants as are interested - if not in the first scenes, then as the scenes continue.

There is an IC radio set up to cover the Caves. It is frequency 442.2
