It was really only a matter of time before I got around to posting this.
One of my personal goals with NIGHT SHIFT was to be able to create any character, any situation, I could think of. While I have dozens of characters I have created for NIGHT SHIFT I am only posting a few to show off the capabilities of the system. Since we are getting to the end of Witch Week, this is a must post.
Following up on my 2018 Update of my witches I had them coming out of retirement to battle a bloated orange monster. Looking over my recent posts of both NIGHT SHIFT characters and Baba Yaga from a couple nights ago, I wonder if maybe there is something else going on.
What if Baba Yaga was targeting the girls of the Wayward Sisters so Jodie and Donna seek out the help of Rowena (who can't help them because she is in Hell) but instead gets them in touch with Charlie, who in turn leads them to Willow and Tara. Feels like it could be a part of my War of the Witch Queens campaign set in modern times. It would be appropriate. I'd just have to figure out how to also work in the Charmed Ones!
Why go through all that effort? Well to be honest it would take something this big to pull Willow & Tara out of their comfortable retirement. I honestly have not used these characters in anything of my home games in years. Baba Yaga, especially how I am thinking of revisioning her? Yeah. That is big.
Maybe that is one of the reasons the War of the Witch Queens starts, Baba Yaga is on some other world now.
I digress. Here are Willow and Tara in their 2020 versions.

Yes. I can see these versions working out great, to be honest. In fact, these versions feel just as "right" as the WitchCraft RPG versions and the official ones in the Buffy RPG (which I worked on anyway). Looking over them again I maybe should have given them an extra level each. They are retired, but I am certain they still managed to stay busy.
