Well, all I can say is that Midknight found his groove. I played in a Mage game he ran last night. I haven't played in any of his games since I became disillusioned with the best WoD game ever (http://forum.rpg.net/showthread.php?threadid=31857).
He's acquired the book Tales of Magick: Dark Adventure for Mage, and started basically a really fun retro pulp game. (It's like a cross between pulp serials ala Adventure! and Austin Powers)
I ended up designing an Ecstatic stuntwoman, raised by monks in the far east and expert in martial arts. I got a mysterious letter and met with a british agent on the beach while shooting on location in Hawaii.
He claimed he worked for "The Company" and that I was special agent Lei Fei Wong. The great great grandson of the Red Baron apparently broke into a base on Pluto and stole the plans for robots. They believe he's marshalling an army of nazi robots on the moon, and I must stop him somehow.
On the way to the field office, we had an exciting chase scene with lots of stunts and crazed nazi thugs. It ended in a "Get Smart" style series of secured doors in the back of a pineapple canning plant and I met with the mysterious assistant director of "The Company", who ended up being an old computer AI secretely in charge of the whole thing. He also made allusions to a "League of Exceptional Individuals" that still needs recruitment (She's a tremere antitribu with nothing to lose! He's a bastet abomination filled with loathing at what he's become! They fight crime!).
I discovered the director's secret identity, but I agree to work for it for now because I want to know why there's supposedly a secret agent with my name and nearly my description that's gone missing (she has different colored eyes and slightly more slender arms, but looks otherwise just like me! The british guy showed me photos from a manilla envelope). He promises to reveal all if I help them out for now.
The Company is apparently a secret agency answerable only to the Councel of Nine Mystical Traditions to help defend the world at large against extraordinary threats that the Sleeping world cannot face. And do so covertly.
Then I got fitted with a belt / CD-player with an artificial intelligence program named "Candy" inside and followed an animatronic seal to R&D for a gearing-up sequence. Then I'll be taking a telepod to Pluto, where I'll get a rocket ship from Pluto Pete's Used Shipyard and get to the moon before the mad Baron unleashes his nazi robots from beyond the moon in seven days time. (I can't take a telepod to the moon due to interference from the Baron's sattelites, and there's apparently no rockets I can take on earth at the moment.)
In other words... it's hella good campy fun. I can't wait to take my rocket ship to the moon and fight the mad Baron's nazi robots!
EDIT: Oh yeah, I got a cool secret agent name too... Virgo!
