Demon: the Descent Actual Play: the Unusual Suspects

As I close out things on this blog, I thought it would be good to collect all of Demon: the Descent actual plays in one place, like I did for other series. Here is the Unusual Suspects in its entirety.

Planning Phase

  • Theme Questionnaire: we began as always by questioning the players about what they want. Here we decided on the core themes.
  • Alternate Alternate Worlds: some ideas were left on the cutting room floor. Here I discuss a dimension that would have served as the “Matrix” for the game’s reality, a world where demons make the evening news and the war against the Machine is literal.
  • Little Arcadia: another scrapped alternate world, this details a faerie version of Seattle run by mad changelings.
  • Seattle Dominion: a final scrapped alternate world where Sineaters and Demons rub shoulders and avoid breaking the Dread Laws of the realm.
  • Character Creation

The Cast

  • Accabish: vengeful plotter
  • Daemon: digital cult leader
  • Hunter: force for justice or loose cannon
  • The Naturalist: juggler of identities and distracted messenger
  • Weaver: ancient builder and fixer of flaws
