Hi guys & galls. Greeting from Finland.
We are currently running a lengthy campaign on AToW (4 players) and the setting & story goes something like this.
As a twist, I as the the GM made all the characters (this caused a debate but the reasons soon become aparrent)
Synopsis:
The players wake up deep in an underground base (a lab of a sorts), they have zero memories on who they are, xcept for some weird dreams that they cant really remember correctly at the start. The dreams are something about falcons, wolves & bears.
It soon becomes clear to the players that the base has been long abandoned & signs of battle are all around them (old bones, bulletholes & such), and the only reason they are still alive, is because a satchel charge placed in their room did not go off
As for the reason for their waking up, the bases secondary power source (Geothermal) has started to fail, and this has triggered some emergency parametres.
So, first priority is to survive, find clothes, food, fight any native lifeforms that have invaded the base after it was razed.
Long story short. The players eventually find out that they are Clan Wolverine Proto phenotypes, as the wolverines went awol before true phenotypes became a standard, its up to the GM to design them.
When their dreams become a little clearer in the course of the adventure, they find out that all 4 carry a bit of code in their dreams, what code? Well, they figured that it is a planetary co-ordinate, the only problem is that there are 4 segments, and the order of the segments is not clear..
I wrote the story so that the segments are indeed a planetary co-ordinate, in the planet they will find another abondoned facility, but this one has a working substation, complete with a memory core, (a damaged one), when the players do find it, they need to fix it and then find a clan computer to read it with, a nice side quest material there..
All in all, the players find out that the wolverines were betrayed by the council & framed for the nuking of the snow ravens, do they try to clear their name, try to find their kin? Or just go bonkers and start slaying every clanner they meet?
There are some epic moments written into the game, but im not going to spoil the supprise for my players by writing it here.. It might be some ancient SL era war machine, or it might be s fleet of drone warships.. who knows :D
