25 sessions so far for La Fin De Siecle. Thinga are geting dark, several plots unfold, innocents get caught in the crossfire - well, I'm having fun at any rate. A lot of it turns out darker than was ever intended (especially Kiesha's thoughts about school shootings). I'm mostly just rolling with it and seeing where everything goes. The next plot SHOULD see more development of the MCs family and the family of her friends. Flesh them out, give them some more screen time and the like.
Mind you, having MJs brother be attacked by demons was an odd way to go about doing it, but one of the themes of this campaign is what it costs to save the world. Most saviours die, some live to see their dreams corrupted. Sometimes things turn out right, in the end at least. And everything has a price, in order to be worth something. So it's going to be dark in some places, as the PC goes beyond gut "of course the world should be saved!" into concrete reasons, perhaps doing the right thing just because it is thr right thing.
I have no idea how it will end, in a specific sense. We have begun planning the second, more low-key campaign slated for a few years down the road, game wise. (And definitely with a break between both in RL.) I expect this present camapign to last between 50 and 75 sessions if all goes well and Chaos and I both keep enjoying it.
The second is still mostly vague ideas in our heads and we'll see where it goes from the end of the first campaign. The fact that we're seriously planning the second one is just cool, for me at least. I seldom even consider that (save for Ios, which was plotted out as 3 "books") and will have to see where the first campaign takes up, and what's left of everyone by the end of it . . . which us luck. I suspect we may need it :)
