Re: [RPG]: Dread: The First Book of Pandemonium (Unrated Edition), reviewed by Thomas

Hi Rafael, Happy New Year to you too.

After posting the review, I sat down to try and write a scenario using the death spiral and the random scenario tables(two concepts that I regretably missed in my review). I rolled up "car thieves" and "Dirty Feds" as hostiles, I then rolled some random locations including a parking cellar, car workshop and a ship. These helped inspire me to write a reasonable scenario without much effort.

A Daemuil had taken the body of a young murder/rape victim and was hunting the car thieves(who were responsible). I figure that the characters investigation will lead both the thieves and feds to conclude that the characters are the murderers, thus leading to violence. I'm just not sure about keeping it up for several cases, as the Disciples would seem to become more crime fighters than excorsists.

Something that struck me after writing the review was the fact that the game takes place after demonic activity has been(more or less) exposed to the masses. That means that people will be edgy, perhaps more likely to turn to violence if exposed to disciple Magic or evidence of the supernatural. I guess that could be used to make hostility more feasable.

I would like to see material on cults that worship demons, maybe secret societies working for heaven and hell getting in the Disciples way. Is that something that is planned for the other Books of Pandemonium?
