: Looking for Badass Presidents scenario hook
: Mckma March 06, 2011, 09:56:12 PM
So I want to run a game of Badass Presidents next week and I'm having trouble thinking of a basic idea to frame the scenario around.  It doesn't need to be too fleshed out as I'm basically looking for like a 2 hour game that's just kind of silly and over the top.  Does anyone have any idea seeds that I might run with?

If you aren't familiar with the system, basically the presidents of the US are crazy powerful heroes that come back after all kinds of shit hit the fan for the world and they fight cosmic horrors (a la Lovecraft), past evil leaders, and Evil Jesus who took over North America renaming it Jesus Land.  If you listened to the Wushu dodgeball game, Cody's portrayal of Former President Martin Van Buren would fit right into this...

I dunno why but for some reason I imagine JFK driving through Dallas, deflecting sniper fire with Capt. America's shield and decapitating the assassin on the grassy knoll with a swift roundhouse kick.

I'm thinking about conflicts between Atlantis and R'lyeh...

I'm not quite sure where I want to run with this, but it seems like it would be a neat place to start...

Managing a rally to grant citizenship to Shoggoths ?

Dreamscape invasion of San Francisco: the Golden Gate bridge is becoming at certain time of the day or year (depending on the stars) a gate to the Dreamscape. A group of evil real state agents are starting to offer prime land property with direct view on the Dreamscape, or are even selling Dreamscape real estate for filthy rich (and bored to the death) men.

Of course, there are leaks of unnatural stuffs: dangerous creatures, but also new foods appears in the fresh market, apparently harmless (for now...) and which makes people "feel good" (is it curing something, or simply naturally laced with psychotropes that current chemistry does not detect).

The international Space Station!
Camp David!
Ray's Hell Burger!
The Oval Office!
City of the Great Race!
The set of the Moon Landing!
Area 51!
A jogging path!
A heated argument with past foreign dictators on neutral ground!
Newly Colonized Mars!
The Center of the Earth!

I'm sorry but this idea is the best ever. I love it.

At the moment, I'm pretty excited to see how this unfolds/trainwrecks.  Some of the stuff I have thrown into the pot:

Mech-Suit building Atlanteans
Robotic Mt. Rushmore
"Bro"thulhu

Oh man, it was a lot of fun.  It's a great system to just let off stress and be pretty immature about.  I think we were a bit overly immature, but I think it was also because we are about to go into finals week and everyone was looking for something to take their minds off of studying for a bit.  I'll try and get the AP up soon if people want to give it a listen (though there is a lot of laughing and talking over people, so it might be hard to hear parts of it)...

Oh, and Charlie Sheen jokes...
