[UA] Spice Girls meets Suppressed Transmission...

[Tom Lynch]

...or that's what the thread feels like. Gentlefolk, we have a nice little
campaign basis here, or possibly (would that I could take part in this, but
I don't have a group at the moment, nor will I for more than ten sessions)
an opportunity to play a truly vast UA campaign...

You will need:
Five GMs on this list with gaming groups
For preference, the players in said groups are unfamiliar with Bi3P, and are
going to be willing to chase off on a truly ludicrous angle purely because a
GMC (le Comte, if you think a little more use can be squeezed out of him, or
equivalent - or hidden version thereof. See the Suppressed Transmission on
the Comte for alternative names) asks them to, with the safety of the earth
at stake)
Someone who remembers the name of the Spice Girls' original manager
A finely-honed sense of the ludicrous
A willingness to hand four-fifths of the plot to other bunches of loons.

Simply gather your GMs and distil the elements that each Girl represented.
They were part of <above manager's name>'s wife, originally, but were split
in a weird ritual (I want to say invoking the Mystic Hermaphrodite, but...)
by <name> in an attempt to bring down the Flying Woman, an Avatar of whom
had brought him low (for added amusement, they were responsible for Take
That's breakup, thus putting him in need of a group in the first place). But
your players don't need to know this; they just need to know that the Spice
Girls are screwing reality over, and le Comte wants them stopped. He sends
one group of PCs after each girl in an attempt to stop them before their
existence ruptures reality.
Of course, if they do that by recombining her, the recombined wife is in a
strong position to tackle the Flying Woman for control of the Archetype -
and if they don't recombine, the ritual to bond archetypes to the FW,
thereby muddying them all and causing all of those Archetypes to be bumped
and replaced by the godwalkers at once, goes ahead.

For added spice, continue afterward with the FW avatar the manager had a
problem with losing almost all of her power and becoming a malevolent
Pilgrim instead to bring him down. The PCs, if still in the locale, may
intervene...

...or help, since it was that cretin who got them put through the mill like
that in the first place.

Damn, I wish I had a gaming group I could do this with. Please tell me
someone wants to, though.
