[Discworld] What scenarios are we all planning?
With the new edition of Discworld RPG due out imminently, I'd love to know what scenario and/or campaign ideas people are working on? With so many new characters and ideas in the DW books since the original edition came out, there must be a ton of fresh material to be exploited in GURPS...
To get things started, I've just begun documenting my own campaign which is moving to Quirm for an epic battle between the Fools' Guild and the Undead on my blog and, in addition, I added a Dungeon Dimensions scenario seed in honour of Halloween last night ;) So, where on Discworld will you be gaming?

Re: [Discworld] What scenarios are we all planning?
I'm not planning a Discworld campaign currently. My gaming is in disarray, as the result of moving to a new city; I haven't located potential players here.
When I ran a Discworld campaign, a few years back, it was set in Lancre. I decided that as part of his efforts at modernization and Being a Good King, Verence II had decreed that Lancre would have a Watch, modelled on the Night Watch in Ankh-Morpork, and had (of course) assigned Sean Ogg to set it up. Things got very exciting when an aristocratic young woman calling herself Lucia de Gramarye was murdered, and suspicion fell on Queen Magrat, because the young woman had been flirting with Verence. . . .

Re: [Discworld] What scenarios are we all planning?
I'm not planning a Discworld campaign at present. I plan to run some demos at the local game shop, and Phil Masters has kindly provided me with copies of his demo scenarios and pregen characters for that.
My Infinite Cabal campaign could in theory visit the Discworld, but the styles wouldn't fit together well, and I don't really want to start a new group at present: I lack the time and energy for it.

Re: [Discworld] What scenarios are we all planning?
I actually hope to start a new campaign, once I find prospective players. But I can't know what the tastes of the hypothetical players will be. And a Discworld campaign would probably need to be comedy, which I can do, but which is one of the hardest flavors to get right; adventure, or horror, is more forgiving of slips in tone.

Re: [Discworld] What scenarios are we all planning?
I want to do a Twin Peaks Discworld campaign.
An oddball cop sent from Ankh Morpork to a more remote part if the Disc to assist with a murder investigation. Quirky town members, demonic possession. Damn fine coffee. Sounds like a pretty straight Discworld adventure. In the meantime I have a couple of scenarios for convention games. If a convention even goes ahead. |

Re: [Discworld] What scenarios are we all planning?
My currently "active" Discworld campaign dream is about Vuile-Oudestad,
a city somewhere on the Sto Lat-part of the Circle Sea coast. It does not have a Thieves' Guild, just a large selection of colourful i independent gangs (Gangs of New York meets The Warriors), and likewise its City Watch is understaffed, underfunded and "supplemented" by a messy tangle of Harbour Patrols, City Ward-specific watchmen, Official And Authorised Thieftakers, private guardsmen and ad hoc vigilantes. A few enterprising souls have joined together and contacted the Ankh-Morpork Thieves' Guild. Whether the aim is franchising, opening a branch office or just for an efficiency expert to help unite and organise the gangs into a proper Guild remains to be seen/decided. Something similar is true for the City Watch, and it remains to be seen if they get someone striving to emulate Vimes or Carrot, or someone more Moist... |

I have the basics of the city and situation, but a lot depends on whether people want to play cops or robbers. |
