Unknown Armies Play Report: ICONODULES V2

Another day, another playtest of ICONODULES. Another year, another Jackson Elias Convention. If you want to read up on the premise and the basics of the adventure, check the first playtest.

 

This time, we had

• Ecrin - Experienced Occultist and Wage Slave
  
• Mehmet - Closeted Defender of Gay Turks (And Armenians… and Kurds)
• Suliman - Expert Fencer, Martial Arts Master, Total Coward
• Zuhal - Precocious Technology Expert

After character selection and a rules tutorial, play began with the burger warriors pulling into the Akpet off the highway to take a piss and grab some snacks before the final drive to Göbekli Tepe. They spotted three weirdos who seemed worth investigating.

• A seventeen year old Syrian kid, filling up gas cans at the pump. 
• An American guy in a fiberglass mask emblazoned with a hand of mysteries, carrying bottled water and calorie dense snacks out of the store.
• A Kurdish lady in a blue headscarf smoking a safe distance away from the pumps, who Zuhal recognized from Kurdish_Professionals, a weirdly ritualistic lesbian XVIDEOS channel that got taken down after people mass reported it. 

The group offered to help the Syrian kid, but he wasn't interested in strangers pestering him, especially a girl his own age. Mehmet tried to forge a connection with the Kurdish lady, using his Solid Citizen powers to connect with a member of his tribe. The lady misinterpreted his "how do you do, fellow gay?" overture, but not in the way he expected. Rather than a fellow member of the homosexual underground, she assumed he was a fellow worshiper of the Goddess.

Unknown Armies Play Report: ICONODULES

Pistachio Milkshake: employees at the McDonald’s in Gaziantep, a city in Turkey about 45 kilometers from the Syrian border. Also members of the Scottish Rite, an occult conspiracy of fast food workers fighting for the magickal revolution. They help people with their problems, make the world more accepting of magick through ostentatious supernatural demonstrations, and argue a lot on a secret imageboard of fellow burger warriors.

Lately the website has been abuzz with discussion. Nine out of ten psychics agree: a “moonchild” is going to be conceived somewhere in Anatolia. This powerful being will bring about a reign of blood and terror, the absolute last thing the Iran-Iraq-Syria-Turkey border region needs. Someone needs to either prevent the conception, or ensure that the resulting zygote comes out good instead of pure evil.

So when an archaeological dig at the ancient neolithic temple of Göbekli Tepe uncovers a living MILF Statue, only a two hour drive from your store, it’s clear what needs to be done. Everyone calls in a sick day and climbs into the group's battered Westfalia. Next stop: the oldest megalithic site in the world.

In attendance: 

• Hurrem - Wannabe Femme Fatale, Occasional Dipsomancer
• Mehmet - Closeted Defender of Gay Turks (And Armenians… and Kurds)
• Suliman - Expert Fencer, Martial Arts Master, Total Coward
• Yusuf - Old Man With Empathic Powers
• Zuhal - Precocious Technology Expert

Their objective: Prevent a being of unspeakable evil from being conceived at Göbekli Tepe.
