With the Road Trip crew receiving their last post card, it seems like that campaign’s drawing to a close. Not to object, given all the good times it’s had, but if you’ve read the book, there’s some untapped potential there. In the final stretches of the book, there are 2 pit stops presented for DM use. They’re basically the equivalent of The Frogs of War and the Grinning Man arcs of the podcast; not part of saving the world, but something crazy on the side. Realizing that the podcast wouldn’t be using it, I decided to run that part as a one-shot.
Night of the Living Road Kill takes place in the middle of a fake campaign of Road Trip, thrown together when we were bored last week and shy a few players for anything regular. I wanted to run it because of it being a bite-sized and fun scenario, and with a neat mechanic at the end for how a whacky mystery-solving chase scene would work in Monsters.
Players:
Rachel (Callum/Freepork); the third wheel of the popular girls. Secretly isn’t that popular and likes geeky things.
Dorothy (eli): Rachel’s monster, a gigantic spider with the dress and personality of a kindly old lady
Ashley (eli): kind of hyper kid way into zombie movies and bustin’ heads
Matryoshka (callum): a man-sized wooden doll within a wooden doll within etc. Represents the crone, the mother, the maiden, and the baby, each with their own personality and feuding to be the one on the outside.
