Hello!
I hope this is ok.
My name is Tim, but I usually go by "web warlock" online. I have known about Whoosh! for years and I have always been a Xena fan. I have lurked here off and on and decided to finally register.
By day I am college prof, but at night I write Paper and Pencil RPG games. One that I worked on was the Buffy RPG by Eden Studios. As a MAJOR Willow and Tara fan it was really cool to be able to work on how thousands of my fellow geeks saw Tara. I am also the author of the Ghosts of Albion RPG, so my geek dreams came to life when I got to work closely with Amber Benson.
So here is my gift (beware of geeks bearing gifts I guess huh).
I stated up Xena and Gabby for use with Eden Studios games (Buffy, Army of Darkness and Ghosts of Albion).
I hope you all like. And you will be pleased to know that in my gaming worlds Xena and Gabrielle still have more adventures to look forward to together.
I am setting these AFTER "Friend in Need". Obviously Xena had to come back to life for some reason and now her and Gabrielle are back to doing what they do best.
“Friend in Deed”
Friend in Deed (FinD) is my "let's go find Xena and bring her back to life because she is the Promised One" adventure. Takes place after the series finale ("Friend in Need"), Gabrielle is struggling to live up to Xena's legacy and struggling to continue living without Xena. While her intentions were initially good, she has been spiraling into darkness and depression. She has forgotten what she had learned as Eli's student. She has been traveling on the Path of the Warrior, trouble is she is close to leaving that and been straying onto the Path of Vengeance.
And that is about as far as I got….
I know the plot is not only rescue Xena (she is in an in-between spiritual plane) but to rescue Gabrielle as well. I always imagined Gabrielle trying to continue Xena's journey, but feeling like she was failing and sinking deeper into depression. That is where your characters come in and help her save the day! Or something. One idea I had was to have a group of characters, hearing of the prophecies in The Dragon and the Phoenix (my "let's bring Tara back to life" game) believe they apply to Xena and Gabrielle instead of Willow and Tara. In the end they discover the truth, but still Xena is brought back.
Either way I am a sucker for happy endings.

Weapons of note
The Chakram of Darkness – Xena’s (and used by Gabrielle after FIN) weapon of choice is her Chakram. A metal throwing ring, the Chakram is razor sharp. Xena was able to throw the chakram in such a way that it could hit multiple opponents and fly back to her. Despite it’s razor sharpness she could catch it and she could also use it to inflict slash damage or bash damage.
It was later revealed that this was in fact the Chakram of Darkness and had the ability to kill a god. Xena “balanced it” with the Chakram of Light and this ability was lost.
The Grand Katana – Made of the finest craftsmanship in the world, all other swords are toys compared to the Grand Katana.
Back in her “evil warrior” days Xena challenged the Sensei. The girl Akemi used it to kill her father. In order to regain her honor Akemi begged Xena to kill her with it. When Xena returned to Akemi’s home, Akemi’s ghost lead her to the sword. It was given the ability to harm malicious spirits and Gabrielle used it to avenge Xena’s murder.
It’s craftsmanship is so fine and the enchantments are such that it adds +5 to any attack and damage. The Grand Katana is also a unique weapon with a long history. Possessing it automatically gives the wielder a reputation and an extra 2 points of Adversaries representing those who want the sword for themselves or to return it to it’s rightful owners.
Anti-Magic Tattoo – Gabrielle has a large coiled dragon tattoo on her back that makes her immune to most forms of evil magic. She is immune to effects of any offensive spell below PL 4 and can negate up to 40 points of LP damage from any malicious spell-like supernatural attack.
Akemi’s ghost tattooed Gabrielle’s back in long and painful procedure. It is unknown if others have learned this skill or at what level they are capable of enchanting the tattoo.
Director’s Note: This is Level 4 tattoo. Anti-Magic tattoos cost 3 points per level and require someone with the knowledge to apply it. The Cast member then can no longer use Magic.
Anyway, hopr you like.
