Oh god, I have to GM a session of Lesser Shades Of Evil in an hour, and I have no idea.
In the current stage it is indistinguishable from low-fantasy, so I will not elaborate on the setting.
Please, /tg/, give me a throwaway plot for a short session. You are my only hope.

Duke sends them to kill some minions, but it turns out they were the duke's minions from another mission, and he just didn't want to pay them. Cue players wondering if he'll pay them... or just hire someone to kill them after they finish.

this is dnd type stuff, but it may help, especially Philisophical zombies ponder the meaning of love, or a Lich comes back to start his own bakery.

Depends on if you want to hint at the true nature of the world. I assume the players are just regular mortals at this point, since it seems they don't know about the whole post-human weirdness going on.

You could just throw a random archfiend at them, maybe served by a bunch of lesser monsters. It harasses some village, the PCs go to help. They beat up the archfiend, only to get vague hints that maybe everything isn't the way they've been told it is. Technical devices like computers or something in its lair, for example. Or manuals that really don't fit with the rest of the setting.

Or just go generic and have some bandits or religious nutballs mess with them or something. But it's kind of hard to do Lesser Shades of Evil as low fantasy if you're playing post-Ravencross, since at that point you have flying islands with fairies and dragons and shit, and a giant eagle that flies around and shoots lasers at people.

They are Angelions in control of two cities somewhat west of Barismarin or whatever the fortress city was called, so the people there haven't seen a lot of flying cities yet, but some Eidechs have made it past the border.

Though I like the Archfiend thing, this session is also supposed to introduce a third angelion ( phantoma ), two sessions in, and the phantoma is Majoring war, so he can help fending off.
Maybe I'll throw some crossbearers shitting all over my player's city in the search for fellkin for good measure.
Thanks, I think I can work with that!

Ooooh, I will make the archfiend a swarmlord! That would let the players to him, without just having a giant monster appear in the city.
Sage, because I don't want to double-bump my thread like a cunt.

Also, we can make this an LSoE general, if you want.

So at least your angelions have human bodies. I got stuck with those death crickets and hermaphroditic t-rexes with firebreath.

Of course, it was fucking awesome.

One of them is pretty much stuck in a falcon body, because his little girl body has been sent off to Avonmyth to become a priest, so she can take more influence in her town.

But with all the money the owner of the small city is raking in ( domination mastery ), they will probably run around as a pack of giant grizzlies in a few interims.

It's one of the most fun parts of GMing the game, to be honest. When your players can literally be anything, you really need to think in order to make shit work. I can't tell how many times my plots were foiled by "I turn into a death cricket, jump through the small hole and unleash my death scream".

Once you learn to tailor adventures specifically around their abilities, shit just gets silly. And then you get to the Fell Kingdoms and everyone starts tripping balls.

Man, I sure hope we don't derp so hard again we forget about the game, because that's what happened last time.
I am especially happy about them being able to control more than one body, because that means they can manage their kingdom, while being somewhere deep in the ghost lands, fucking shit up, while intriguemancing the birthland. It gives a lot of options.

Despite supposedly being a SRS BSNS game, it's kind of hard to have a game where you can play literally anything you can think of, including super-powered lolis and rainbow fairies with rocket nipples, and not have derp from time to time.

Also, the game kind of gets really annoying once you can control multiple bodies simultaneously in my opinion. It's fine while they can only be in one place at any given time, but once they can run an adventuring party each, shit just gets slow.

The world is reasonable enough, not all adventuring parties would find a lot of trouble at the same time.

I am really excited for the late game, after I read inklings of power. The second age will end in fire in-fucking-deed.
