Hi guys, thought I'd share my latest adventure as a plot seed for people to adapt and use as they want. It will be appearing in my campaign so look away if you're really not wanting to know and would prefer to read the write up instead.....still here? Ok yhen.
The plot
A shape shifting race in the employ of a great intergalactic business has been watching earth. They have seen many things, but one event in particular is of great imterest: the American civil war. The race intends to make sure the confederate wish of slavery continues so they can exploit if as the race think its big business.
Unfortunately for them, another group who have limited time travel tech have become aware of the plot and are going to stop them.
How the group are involved
The group clip the ripple of the time travellers wash and it sends there time machine oit of control. Following it, they end up at the surrender of general lee. The group somehow notice one of those preset is out of place or time and he snatches the surrender. The group Chase him. Half are captured by the time traveller ans half arw knocked down and captured by the union.
Time traveler plot
Find out from travellers about the aliens who they know have infiltrated the us cabinet. Want to delay the surrender of tje confederate long enough so can get into the gov and find infiltrator and stop them.
Us plot
Other half of group find historical assassins of Abraham Lincoln dead. They discover about alien race ans come to conclusion that the race want abe dead for slavery to continue. try and stop attack on abe at a speech.
The plot twist
One group of players will stop the others. They tell each other about what they know but to their horror, find its the president whos the alien. Aliens want to use him because will change his policies so as to not make him a martyr by just killing him.
The dilemma
The group must then decide how to stop the alien president which may well result in the pc's being the ones who assassinate lincoln in the theatre!
There you have it. There are gaps such as who killed john wilkes booth and why would the dr agree to killing the alien. Im writing this via phone so its too difficult to go into detail!!! Any aliens good, but slitheen work really well (one prob is abe os really thin and this takes place before aliens of London) .
Anyway, just thought is share. Enjoy ;D
