Here is the second installment of our on going It Came From the Late, Late, Late Show
This adventure was a two part story line, in the beginning section we were humans discovering the monsters and bringing them back to our research lab to study them. The trip back was one of the two most memorable sections as we got attacked by modern day “pirates”. It was an attack by hippies on a Greenpeace ship who simply would not believe that we were not whalers. Of course the fact that we had to use an old whaling ship to bring the creatures back to the lab and that we tried to keep them from going below deck certainly wasn’t helping our cause any. Eventually we drove them off but not without a struggle.
Then we switch to the awakening of the monsters and us taking them over as our new roles for our actors. This is where our GM really got the chance to break out his homemade hex map, terrain and miniatures. He is really into Lego’s and so that is what we use for mini-figs when he runs. Of course we collect them too which makes them super easy to locate and use.
So as the ubur monsters (think Godzilla style) we were bent on destroying the town, as well as our arch enemy. Turns out that, at least for us and our dice, the hard part would be the electric lines they had laid down in our path. We came far too close to dying out over them before we even got into the real battle.
These images are from the end of game and give you an idea of the carnage as well as our GM’s homemade battle map.

Here is the write up of the movie poster, the characters and rule summary, as well as the entire adventure. Hope you enjoy. If you end up playing or running it I would love to hear how your adventure went.
or Champions game. Any of your major NPC’s could be a closet magic user, implementing their wand as a focus item without letting on to the world their true nature or abilities. It could be used as a surprise for the characters who may not see it coming. Back in the day I played in a Champion campaign where many of the major politicians were magic users, they just used them to gain and keep their positions and only as much as needed so that it was not well known to the general population. Just goes to show that magic users can wield their power in a low-key, yet highly effective way.
So what happens when your dice mutiny all together???? When that happens you sit down at the game table, clipboard of characters, maps and miscellaneous information in hand and find that you have everything but your character sheet. You dig through the gaming bag that the gaming clipboard lives in, all of which only ever visits your bedroom, car or gaming table only to discover that you will be accepting the blank character sheet the DM is handing you with a grin. Now the fun part of trying to remember what darn stats your character had anyways. Not so bad on some games, but really bad on others where there are tons of skills.
