One Shots

I have been entertaining friends on the weekends. Usually, as things wind down in the evenings I kick off a one shot. The last two that i have run have gone something like this:

A Very Special Green Ops Christmas: Operation White House
Its Christmas Eve 2009. Santa and the Elfs are all busy delivering presents. The most dangerous missions are left up to the elite Green Ops team.
The adventure followed two members of the Green Ops team as they set out to deliver presents to the the president of the United States.
Of course as they are sneaking through, air vents and take on the secret service, another sinister force is going through the white house. John McCain in power armor and Sara Palin with a shot gun are trying to fill the Obama's stockings with coal.
The final results: McCain has a christmas ornament flash bang induced heart attack. Palin gets a shot in the face from the secret service. And half the united states gets hypnotized by irresistible sugar plums.


The Sad Tail of Montgumery Jones
As a group of my friends are leaving my place after a gaming session, they stumble onto an unlikely event. A well dressed man walks past them, followed by several paces behind by the same man, only haggard and worn. They will soon come to call these men Montgomery Jones.
The following weeks lead to several run ins with the man and his doppelganger. Eventually they find that the haggard version of Mr Jones has is the original and that he was replaced while he was forced to serve as a teapot in the halls of the Fay.
Monty shows the group a bush that acts as a portal, which can only be seen through glasses which Monty says was a man once named Edwards.
Through the glasses, anything that is Fay touched is illuminated: Montgomery's doppelganger, the portal to the Fey realms and one of the part members.
Soon the party sets off through the portal into the Fay realms.
