comment
The Shadow of Greed is the title of an all-Tropers Spirit of the Century game conducted over Ventrilo and OpenRPG. Ironeye is the GM, and the player list is as follows: arks as Jack Courrier, a former (?) con man working for the U.S. government; Jinxed Blackcat as Major Sam Gears, a spunky pilot whose state-of-the-art plane, the Sparrowhawk, is her baby; Karalora as Millie Diamond, a wealthy, cosmopolitan and ebulliently friendly philanthropist seeking to rescue her fiance from an Egyptian cult; Lanceleoghauni as Anton Korvanatz, a Husky Russkie scientific genius verging on Mad Scientist; Matrix as Sarah the Singed, a mentally unstable pyromaniac from a Philadelphia crime family; Thnikkafan as Samson, the World's Smartest Savage!, an imposing fellow who supposedly has the intellect of six men, but prefers to let his muscles speak for themselves; arimnaes as Dana "Great Dane" McCallister, a hypnotist, a former member of the mysterious Ordo Corvi, and the team's expert on all things that science can't explain; and Taco as Drake Cob, an athletic knife fighter with ties to the mafiaBefitting the game, the individual story arcs ("novels") are usually no more than 1-2 sessions in length. However, signs of Arc Welding are becoming evident. Due to Ironeye's Complexity Addiction, the game has numerous characters who are all somehow related to the Myth Arc.The discussion thread for the roleplay can be found here. For summaries of the game's backstory and plot, see the recap page.This RP has significant player crossover with the Arimnaes' Happy Fun Time Power Hour.

Railing Kill: Komorov after getting shot by Angel Rose, but then subverted because his Plot Armor prevents him from dying from a single shot or a one-story fall.

Wicked Cultured: General Wulf is polite and elegant, dresses well, enjoys fine wine, and is disgusted by his less-restrained allies (Bernhard and Blitzmann). He also gets off on the screams of torture victims.

For Science!: Surprisingly enough, only Drs. Hibberton and Rox have so far attempted to try something potentially dangerous just because they can—the others are either doing normal science or quite intentionally making weapons.

Electric Torture: Of course this is Der Bltizmann's torture technique of choice! In particular, he has all sorts of dangerous-looking toys hanging on arms from the ceiling that can be used to electrocute people in different ways.

Everyone Is a Suspect: The murders at the Ziggenheim Symposium begin with one of the front-runners dying, making every one of the entrants a suspect, as well as the members of the Council (for political reasons), and the backers of the entrants. The only NPCs without an obvious motive are Dr. Nicola Tesla, the hired security, and the hotel staff.

Not Even Bothering with the Accent: All of the players except Lance (who tries), and perhaps Jinxed (since Sam's home town isn't specified), not that Samson, Millie, Jack, and Sarah have accents too far from those of Thnikka, Kara, arks, and Matrix.

Disproportionate Retribution: Drs. Knichte, Gerald, Zeram, and Rox wrote a paper that discredited Garrison Grayson in the field of geology, so he decided to kill them all. Keep in mind that Grayson is an archaeologist, and thus didn't have much of a rep in the geology world anyway.

It's just that no one knows exactly what that is.

comment
Kudzu Plot: How did Grayson learn how to create the grey men? What is the Time of Nightmares? What does Gorilla Khan want with a copy of "On the Trail of the Lost Continent"? Why were the people who stole Aura's Breath dressed as Savio Bianchi's security even though they spoke Russian and worked Walter and Vicky? Why does everyone want the annotated copy of "Faust" so much? Why did the factions in Chicago react the way they did to Gorilla Khan's agents stealing a secret government weapon? What is Dr. Bianchi's secret project? Why are multiple people using the Black Mask identity? Which member of the Black Hand is Marius Chevalier's sister? Why is Tausret so loyal to the Weaver? How did Garrison Grayson transfer his consciousness from grey man to grey man? Why did Dr. Methuselah force the Spirit Centurions to learn more about their destinies? What item in Te-Kas' desk did Black Mask want so badly that he was willing to stage a breakout to get it? Where are the Nazis going to attack? What's with the new faction of bird-men? That's just an example of one still-unanswered question from each novel, with most of them having many more.

Revenge: A key motivation for Garrison Grayson (against Knichte, Gerald, Zeram, Rox, and the PCs), Sarah the Singed (against Bernhardt), Jack Courrier (against the person responsible for John Courrier's death and the person who tried to kill Millie), and Sam Gears (against a former squadron-mate who seems to be connected to the death of Robert Gray).

It's Personal: For all of the things that Rocket Red has done, the reason why Sam hates her so much is that she "violated" the Sparrowhawk. This is also why Victoria is so keen on bilking Millie out of her family fortune, rather than going for simpler get-rich-quick schemes.

Interquel: Due to scheduling issues, Sarah the Singed and the Lost Library had to begin before the end of The Revenge of the Grey King, and canonically explains why the team that started investigating the jewelry store burglaries in Paris had no members in common with the team that ended up fighting Garrison Grayson. Since The Spirit Centurions and the Secrets of Atlantis was a direct sequel to Sarah the Singed and the Lost Library, it too became an Interquel. Hilariously enough, player progress in The Revenge of the Grey King was slow enough that the sessions were all completed in the in-universe canonical order despite Sarah the Singed and the Lost Library and The Spirit Centurions and the Secrets of Atlantis coming later in the novel order.

I Have You Now, My Pretty: Bernhardt is attracted to Sarah and wants her to love him, which leads to him setting up all sorts of unsettling situations. On the other hand, he intentionally acts like a gentleman once the pieces are in place, even acknowledging that he could have his way with her if he were that kind of man. This doesn't stop him from ordering Alan to strip Sarah out of her clothes and put her in a dress, though.

Locked Room Mystery: The murder of Dr. Knichte. The only plausible solutions are Dr. Knichte killing himself and arranging it to look like a poorly-faked suicide or someone climbing down a sheer wall in a snowstorm, breaking into the room, closing the window, then throwing Dr. Knichte out the closed window. The cheat was Grayson's Applied Phlebotinum.

Kill Him Already!: While pretending to change behind a screen as Alan watches, Sarah retrieves a gun hidden in her cleavage. Rather than shoot Alan through the screen or the moment she comes around the screen, she instead walks out and keeps the gun trained on him as they have a brief chat. This gives Alan time to charge her and pin her to the wall with only a leg wound to show for it.

comment
One-Steve Limit: There are two Alistairs in the backstory, though the less important onenote to the main characters—the more important one to the setting as a whole appeared in-game to die before the more important one became a recurring character. The more important Henry made his first in-game appearance in a room with the less important Henry (who had appeared once before), which caused confusion when Ironeye didn't use their last names before the players pointed out the issue. There are either two or three characters named Alan, depending on whether or not Bernhardt's mutant Alan is the previously appearing security chief, the Great War pilot from the backstory, or a new character entirely. Al Capone has two high-ranking underlings named Frank and one occasional ally named Frankie (all Historical Domain Characters). Jack Courrier has connections to two characters named John in his backstory, one of whom died before the game began. The other has made a single appearance in a subplot that features a Johnny working behind the scenes on the other side. The two Sams are a female main character and a Historical Domain Character in a bit role. There are two characters named Charles, though one died in the backstory and the other goes by "Dean". There are two Michaels, though one is an angel and hasn't appeared in-game (and my only be a hallucination, while the other died in his first appearance). There's also a Mikhail, who is generally referred to as "Black Mask" because he's always in disguise. There are two Yakovs, both Historical Domain Characters, who even share a patronymic: Mikhaylovich. Fortunately for everyone trying to keep track, one died in the backstory and the other hasn't yet appeared on-camera.
