Campaign Summary
Campaign created Wednesday, February 11, 2009 10:31:15 AM by AvengingArrow

Strange activity has started to rise. It starts with a blood bank being robbed and then a morgue is emptied of all bodies. People report of being attacked by a beast that turned into a man. Robberies are being committed by beings that can?t be killed. The unexplainable is happening and it can?t be stopped. Perhaps the SDL can do something. Join Today.
Campaign Description
The Sorcerer Defense League has set itself against what is called a mystical threat. This mystical threat is called demons, vampires, and monsters. The reality of it is that these creatures are from other dimensions where they are the main life. Their transportation to this World, some against their own will, has transformed them or they have a different reaction to this new World.

After having an encounter with something you can not explain, you have also ran into some who fight these creatures. Some are rag-tag groups, others are very organized. The SDL is one of the later.

You have joined the SDL for whatever reason. You are assigned a team to hunt and remove threats. Your team is funded, so equipment must be requested. Your base of operations will be one of the branch houses. Travel is a must and independent thought required. Teamwork is what can save your lives and help accomplish the mission.

The Points:
Heroic Settings
75 Base
75 Disads
NCM is in effect
CV Max is 7
DC max is 8
AP = 50
Skill roll = 13-

Three other Worlds in other dimensions have no clue what so ever. Of the remaining 5, two are warned and ready their defenses. The remaining three Worlds, through various technology catastrophes or magic gone horribly wrong are destroyed. Less than a third of each World?s inhabitants manage to escape to other dimensions. Some arrive in our World.

He took charge of the SDL and raised the child as his own. The child was name Jonathan Holmes.
