Fantasy campaign idea
Fantasy campaign idea (Parasites) posted in Fantasy and Progress Level 3 forum comment posted by derek_holland The heroes live in a modern world where magic is rare as it costs Wound points for trivial effects and Mortal for anything more powerful. In other words, adepts rarely survive their castings.
That being said some people still try by making sacrifices (which doesn't work ever), combining effort (which possibly kills everyone), or even committing suicide (which does work but then there is no one controlling the spell).
The heroes are members of one of several organizations that try to keep sources of spells out of the hands of the public. The less access, the less disasters. In the old days this meant capturing and usually destroying books and other writing. Now it has an electronic component that makes their job that much harder. What makes it worse is that most of their FX items are useless as they were created before the internet and do not interact with it. So until more people die to provide them the tools needed to fight this scourge, the heroes have to use mundane tools to find would be spell casters and then their bags of magic items to collect or destroy the things storing ritual information.
