League of Extraordinary Gentlemen: cadhla's version

If y'all have read my good friend cadhla's LJ, or some of the other folks' on my friends list, you know that last night (23 July 2003) cadhla ran an RPG session. Given that there is no League of Extraordinary Gentlemen official game, she kindly adapted the basic White Wolf Storyteller rules and told us to get characters from 1936ish - whether written then, or set in that time frame. I settled on Sergeant Preston of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, from a radio show that first aired in Detroit in 1938. Other characters included Mary Poppins, the Shadow, Dorothy Gale, Hugo Danners (I didn't recognise the name either), Lord Peter Wimsey, and Tom Swift. (Check agrumer's journal for links to more info on each, if you like.)

Sadly, the game was a one-shot, although the chance exists of taking it to play-by-email form. *hopeful look* I enjoyed it thoroughly, although my poor Sergeant did not get to so much as hit anyone, let alone fire his gun or arrest anybody. Such is the chance one takes in a party that includes the inspiration for Doc Savage and an inventor who makes MacGyver look like a patent thief. The game was still resounding in my head when I got home, and my foolish decision to have a chocolate brownie before bed meant that I was up really quite late. As a consequence I had the lunatic idea of writing up the game summary over time from the Sergeant's point of view. I thought, perhaps, I might inflict it upon you here.

Because I am Pathetic,

I threw together a number of songs from my CD collection and burned them to disc as a bit of a soundtrack for last night's game. I had originally planned on assembling a soundtrack for my character so that I'd have something to listen to while I wrote Diary of a Mountie, but there's a problem with that: I can't find nearly enough songs to pull it off. Therefore, a game soundtrack seemed a bit more appropriate. If anyone's at all interested in a copy let me know; if anyone is interested in adding or removing songs from the list and getting a copy of a slightly better and more representative soundtrack, let me know.

( The playlist I bodged together, which quite naturally has something of an emphasis on my character's side of things- it was, after all, my computer: )

Haven't set them in a proper order yet but it's a different assortment from what I've had at work for a while. Lemme know if you want anything to do with this.

LXG: Diary of a Mountie, Part 2

Part One may be found here. It is cut-tagged in the original to protect it from cadhla's California group of players.

EDIT: Have combined part 2a with this entry. Much simpler.

( Right, here's part two. )
