Man what's with everybody and Bulls stinky foul Ork babies?
Here I thought I had done the world a favor by letting the Juggernaut eat
them ...





Just kidding!
Bull's kids a re mostly OK, and no, the ritual sacrifice idea was NOT for
him!
I used the concept with a voudoun in our campaign named Sangre.
He's a follower of Ghede, and has had a looonng rivalry with another Petro
voudoun named Ramirez.

Ramirez discovered that Sangre had fathered an illegitimate child (in the
PC's background) and captured the kid for use in a really nasty ritual.
I combined some elements of traditional voodoo, mixed in a little Cthulu,
swirled in a generous helping of Chariots of the Gods (ala Dream Park -
California Voodoo Game) and voila! We had a heck of a good game tonight!

The Sleestaks I mentioned the other day became Cthuloid Deep Ones.
Rmirez made a deal with a Horror, Cthulu and our old friend Mr. Darke to
have revenge on Sangre.

Oh yeah, I also mixed in a neutron bomb that was stolen from the wreckage
of an Ares space station. ;-)
Good old Bull with his 300+ total karma, and hideous karma pool took a
serious beating, and was challenged in combat for the first time in AGES!
I managed to whittle the four man team down from a combined total karma
pool, including team karma of over 130 to just 11 left in the team karma
pool!
Good fun was had by all, and at the end of the run, the players felt like
they had earned every karma point the received!

I'm dern happy about that!
