Twenty Quick Questions for any Twilight: 2000 Campaign

[therantingsavant]

Here are the summarised questions that I used from my previous post referenced in the initial thread to outline the "default" Polish campaign beginning with Escape from Kalisz and continuing through the T2k v1.0 "Vistula Trilogy" and other Polish modules (The Black Madonna, Going Home).

Please use them to describe your own campaign if you wish, particularly if it's set in a different country eg. North America, Kenya or Korea.
(I'm looking forward to seeing what Olefin and Raellus come up with for their supplements).

What is the deal with religion
Where can we go to buy standard equipment
Where can we go to get armour repaired or added to salvaged vehicles
Who around here is a nuclear physicist
Who is the greatest warrior in the land
Who is the richest person in the land
Where can I find a doctor around here
Where are there "modern" medical facilities
Is there a university my scholar character belongs to or that I can join
Where can I find a <insert Skill> Expert NPC
Where can I hire mercenaries
Is there any place on the map where weapons are illegal or confiscated
Which way to the nearest tavern
What enemies are terrorizing the countryside sufficiently that if I kill them I will become famous
Are there any wars brewing I could go fight
How about gladiatorial arenas complete with hard-won glory and fabulous cash prizes
Are there any secret societies with sinister agendas I could join and/or fight
What is there to eat around here
Any legendary lost treasures I could be looking for
Where is the nearest powerful enemy with a hoard of "treasure"

What is the deal with religion

Whatever gets you through the day.

Where can we go to buy standard equipment

Short answer You can't.

Where can we go to get armour repaired or added to salvaged vehicles

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
Oh, wait, you're SERIOUS

Who around here is a nuclear physicist

Well, you've seen nukes go off, wiping out hundreds of thousands of people in a heartbeat. Does that count

Who is the greatest warrior in the land

Whoever's still breathing at the end of the combat. So far that's you, but don't forget for a moment, snipers are a thing...

Who is the richest person in the land

You, for as long as you can hold on to your stuff. Remember though, snipers....

Where can I find a doctor around here

You mean NOBODY took a first aid class during character generation

Where are there "modern" medical facilities

Same place as the nuclear physicists.

Is there a university my scholar character belongs to or that I can join

Sure, pick any you like. Facilities have seen better days though....

Where can I find a <insert Skill> Expert NPC

See the note about Doctors.

Where can I hire mercenaries

Anywhere you like. You have food and ammo to pay them right

Is there any place on the map where weapons are illegal or confiscated

What map

Which way to the nearest tavern

Look on your trailer / 2 1/2 tonne truck.

What enemies are terrorizing the countryside sufficiently that if I kill them I will become famous

You know "famous" equals "sniper bait" right

Are there any wars brewing I could go fight

Why haven't you read the game background material yet

How about gladiatorial arenas complete with hard-won glory and fabulous cash prizes

*facepalm*

Are there any secret societies with sinister agendas I could join and/or fight

I take it you're not yet familiar with the KGB, GRU, CIA, DIA, Mossad, and a bunch of similar secretive organisations like that

What is there to eat around here

Mmmm, that rotting dog carcass is looking mighty tasty right now!

Any legendary lost treasures I could be looking for

Sure, why not. Might glow in the dark just a little, but you're not going to let that stop you right

Where is the nearest powerful enemy with a hoard of "treasure"

Just keep travelling along roads with no thought of stealth and concealment. I'm sure they'll find you before too long.

Those questions seem a lot more more appropriate for a Gamma World or Rifts campaign than a T2K one.

I'm calling you out! You owe me a new screen protector! I was drinking coffee while I read this. My keys are a little sticky and smell like french roast now too...

[Olefin]

I actually like these questions a lot

Just to give you a few examples for Kenya (still putting the whole list together)

What is the deal with religion

Answer - About 70% of Kenyans are Christians, split between Protestants and Catholics, twenty or so percent worship various indigenous religions and the Somalis are almost all Muslims plus you have a sprinkling of Hindus and Sikhs as well - and relations between the Muslims and the Christians are not good currently given the Somali's repeated attempts to grab off the Somali areas of Kenya.

What enemies are terrorizing the countryside sufficiently that if I kill them I will become famous

Answer - Joseph Kony in LRA run Uganda, the heads of the PARA in Tanzania or Osama Bin Laden who is part of the terrorist group that bombed the US embassies in 1998 and who is in Somalia

Are there any wars brewing I could go fight

Answer - possible wars - LRA versus the French in the Central African Republic, French attempt to overthrow the LRA in Uganda, LRA Uganda versus either Rwanda or Kenya or both (if Kony is that stupid to take on both which he is), all kinds of fun still occurring in what used to be the Congo, the US and Kenya against the PARA

Where can I hire mercenaries

Answer - There are mercenary groups for hire in Nairobi, Kisumu and Mombasa and there are always people looking for work at Rick's American Cafe in Mombasa. Pieter Hendriks who leads Total Security Inc in Nairobi is always looking for new assignments if the fee is right.

Call-back

Those questions seem a lot more more appropriate for a Gamma World or Rifts campaign than a T2K one.

If you read rantinsavant's original post (link below), this thread's list will make a lot more sense (in the context of T2K).

Yes, it's based on Jeff Rient's original post which was originally intended for a D&D campaign which I adapted.

LOL I enjoyed this, was a great in-character response to the question! I could even move this across to my blog as a counter to my "serious" list of questions if Legbreaker is OK with that.

If I didn't want anyone to use anything I post, I wouldn't have posted it in the first place.

OK great, same here that's kind of the point of the "starter kit" post series - just thought it polite to check [emoji106]
