[UA] Fwd: Working for the Scotsman

[Judd Karlman]

This is based off of a campaign kicker in the book but altered a little for a Mak Attax game.  It could very well be an e-mail I will send to the players who have never played nor seen UA before. Advice, ideas and feedback are welcome: 

Never say you work for McDonald's, always say you work for the Scotsman, Mac's Steak House or maybe even the Big Red-Headed Clown. Any clever codewords, really but never say that name. 

Lou was the over-weight metal-head who stood up to jock bullies when they picked on scrawny kids. Lou asked Hell's Angels to come to an after-hour kegger at his house and the party was wild as an ancient Greek orgy while still ending up peaceful as a Sunday Knitting Circle. Lou was the guy who everyone would call if they were ever bleeding in a phone booth. 

Lou was the Night Manager at the Golden Arches and got sent to Manhattan for a Managerial Conference. The date was September 11th, 2001. He never came back. 

Lou was dead two years before he started talking to you again. Maybe he spells out his messages in spilled french fries on the floor, talks through the drive-thru speaker or sends you e-mails from an untraceable address. It is different for everybody. 

He has asked you all to meet at the five corners cross-roads up off Hanshaw Road. He said it was important. 



Character Concepts: 

Trigger Event: Maybe your character caught their father eating money because and he said doing so gave him super-powers (and it did) or mayhaps they hit their heads once as a kid and for the rest of that day animals spoke to them until they were taken to the hospital to treat the concussion. What was your character's Trigger Event into the occult underground? 

Obsession: Your character is obsessed with something. It is how he/she get's through their life working a fast food job, always feeling like there's more to life than what's in your Happy Meal. What is your character's defining obsession? 

Good Ole Lou: What is your character's defining memory of Lou?
