The Founding Fathers! |
Using either Word of Darkness or a Superhero system |
It is the late 1700s, around, say 1776. The American colonies are under seige. The colonists had just been involved in a war with American Indian Shamen and Werewolves (who were backed by French Vampires). But now, the colonists are being controlled and repressed by King George (Who is actually a Promethian construct created by the British Parliment, or perhaps an evil mastermind like Duke Sidious...). There are even reports that the Britishs are seeking to destroy the Awakened amongst the colonies. The seeds of Revolution are sown. The Colonists are of course aided by the technology of the Free Masons. The "Founding Fathers" work out of secret bases in Philidelphia, New York and Boston. |
