The setting is future earth. Blasts of gamma rays have begun striking the earth’s surface randomly. When they do, everything living in their path dies. Unable to ascertain where these are coming from, or more importantly, when and where they’ll strike next, the governments build hardened shelters and move everyone into them. The heroine is […]
Story idea set in a fantasy world. Humanoid race of magic-users creates a large, strong race (troll or ogre like perhaps) for some purpose in ancient times. The created race becomes a problem and are banished. A new militaristic race tries to control the humans. The protagonist decides to seek help from the banished ones. […]
A female character is blessed/cursed with the uncontrollable ability to perceive time differently than those around her. At times, she slows down relative to the world around her. Everyone else seems to blur past her, and she seems frozen in time to others. And at yet other times, she speeds up. To others, she seemingly […]
This story idea is about a futuristic P.I. or police detective. A prominent AI scientist has been murdered. The killer is actually his latest attempt at an AI. The computer/robot was trying to prove it had achieved sentience, but the deceased didn’t believe it, thought it was still just the sum of its parts, nothing […]
This story idea focuses on a young man (teenager? young adult?) who discovers that he has nascent psychic powers. Perhaps he begins overhearing other’s thoughts and at first thinks they are things people actually said leading to embarrassing situations. He’s a loner, an outsider, and this only exacerbates the problem.
He discovers a ring of psychics […]
The idea is that two thieves in a fantasy setting are breaking into the house of a noble well-guarded by wards, spells, and such. A very typical fantasy setting. One is a fairly expert thief with a full set of tricks up her sleeve. The other is a novice, ambitious, but unskilled. They get caught […]
The setting is a traditional fantasy setting: magic, elves, medieval level technology/culture, etc. The protagonists are siblings: an older sister and a younger brother, teens to young adults. The brother discovers he has an incredibly powerful raw talent for magic. The drow (is that term trademarked by Dungeons & Dragons?) or dark elves have made […]
Sort of a variation on the earlier post I made about “Modern Day Magick”. (Magick with a k is sort of an in-joke by the way for fantasy geeks, it sort of means going over the top with magical concepts).
An old man encounters a young loner, perhaps on the street. A strange feeling passes, and […]
I’ve been contemplating an idea for a story regarding modern day magic. A young man discovers magic in the modern world. There are two groups who try to find him: an evil group that uses magic for dark means, and a good group that protects magic. He discovers though that the good group does not […]
Well, the GURPS 4E Horror/Supernatural adventure is done and went well. I’m going to switch gears and focus on getting another story done. I’m thinking this one, The Game, could be good. It’s going to have some more action, which is what I’ve been looking for in my stories, as the characters will be fighting […]
