Wow.
Here we are. I know last week seemed like the "season finale" but tonight is the big "Series Finale".
Let's do this!
I have talked a bit about Supernatural here. Certainly not as much as my fandom might indicate. Supernatural is the one show that everyone in my family all watches together. My wife and kids all sit down to watch it. Doesn't matter what else we watch or what we do, this is the one show we always watch.
Supernatual then was also the test bd for NIGHT SHIFT.
I have been pretty open about what my personal design goals for NIGHT SHIFT have been. I wanted to be able to play ANY modern supernatural urban-fantasy I know. I want a game where I can create any sort of witch I want and have access to magic, demons, and the like. NIGHT SHIFT does all of this.
So when I was playtesting this with my kids there were two characters that were absolutely perfect. Sam and Dean Winchester.

Sam has had an interesting arc. He starts out as a veteran at a very young age. Because he also has/had some demon blood in him he was telekinetic for a while, but that only manifests when he drinks demon blood. He is also a Sage and has played that role well in the 15 seasons of the show.
It was also stated a few times that he was Rowena's "student" so a couple levels of Witch might have been appropriate, but I think Sage covers it well. I could also see Sammy with a couple of levels of Survivor, but again, the Sage abilities cover that.
Both brothers have high Charisma. They need to be able to talk their way in and out of situations a lot. Plus they have been on the air for 15 years.
Likewise, Dean could have also had a level or two of Sage, due to his Men of Letters status, but really Veteran covers it all.
Regardless where tonight's LAST episode takes us (and it was looking a little dicey two weeks ago!) I know that if I want to continue the story I have these write-ups and NIGHT SHIFT.
Other Supernatural Characters for NIGHT SHIFT
- Wayward Sisters
- Charlie Bradbury (both versions)
- Rowena MacLeod
- and my "special guest stars" Willow & Tara.
Gonna miss these guys. Ok Kansas, play us out.
