Great Game Moments

Whether you're new to KTDARPG or a veteran, there've been a lot of great game moments you may have missed. Game "firsts," character breakthroughs, moments that made us laugh ... from time to time it's fun to look back. Mostly because that's usually a good indication of what's ahead.

Here's a scene from Season-1 of our game. It left an impression on me for a very long time. I'll call it "Tree-killer." It's about power, but at the end it's more about the power of friendship & faith.

============

Hawk: (No. It can't be true. He did it...for his lover? My parents are dead along with so many others--all the suffering, slave camps, killings--BECAUSE OF THOSE TWO?!!!???)

*Hawk leaps up and walks over to the stand of trees, still in sight of Xeno and Chyna. She lashes out with her hands at a large oak tree, punching it, each time mentally saying:* No. *It begins to fall.* (They can't be gone because of him. There has to be another explanation.) *But even as she thinks it, she realizes the truth.*

*Where once stood an oak now is a woodpile with a small stump, and a silent figure standing with eyes riveted to the mountains.*

Chyna: *stunned* The virus...the Brotherhood...all of it... *the eyes piercing Xeno are blue-ice* (God help us.) *out loud* Hawk? *no answer. louder and more firmly* Hawk! Stop it! That's not helping anything! *gets up and stands halfway between Xeno & Hawk* Hawk--we're here for answers. Nobody said we were gonna like them. DEAL WITH NOW! We can't DO anything about the past. HAWK! Xeno said he'll answer our questions. (I don't think she can handle any more answers.)

*Hawk turns and Chyna shrinks from her friend--anger, pain, loss, grief all open and naked on her face.*

Chyna: (No, Hawk. We need him. If we're going to have a chance against the Brotherhood, he may be the leverage--or the weapon--we need.) *Plants herself firmly in Hawk's way. (I won't let you kill him. Not today.) *loudly, firmly:* HAWK. STOP IT. WE NEED MORE.

Hawk: *voice barely controlled* You take a chance, Chyna. (If I had been more in fight mode, it wouldn't have mattered who stood in my way.) *takes three deep breaths, voice is more controlled, looks at Xeno* Chyna is the only reason you are not dead. *faces Chyna, speaks softer* But I will follow your lead.
