Artifacts

[bloomann]

This is a post apocolyptic fantasy campaign where the heroes (skilled normals and possibly low fi powers) find themselves about 400 years in the future of a world where marvel and dc collided and nearly destroyed everything. So far I thought the group of adventurers would be looking for the lost artifacts of these heroes : an emerald ring, a star spangled shield, a golden lasso, a set of armor, an old looking walking stick...
there are possibly several secret organisations : the Dark Knights, The Iron-Men, The Tribe of Doom...
There are different descendants from the supers : The sons of Kal El (the mix of human and krypton created a race of demi super men and women)...
A lone warrior from the acient past living in the waste lands of what was once Canada is said to know something of the secrets of the ancient times...
Any comments suggestions?

Well - sounds pretty amusing - not to mention you've got your maps and stuff pretty much already done, plus an explanation for any number of bizarre monsters and races.

cheers, Mark

Will there be Skrulls?!

That sounds like a pretty cool campaign, though it may suffer from oversaturation of cultural/comicbook references. I'd keep them low-key at least to start, and gradually work in the idea that this is a post-apocalyptic marvel/dc fusion universe...

Have fun!

That was the idea, the past is lost in legend, there are little or no records, people live in a bronze age environment, but there is an inkling of references, inside jokes and characters allowing the PC's to figure out what world they are on. the secret of the catastrophy will be revealed through the game. When I talk of Cap's shield, which is somewhere lost on a blasted battle field, I won't say "And there you see Cap's Shield", but rather keep to objective discriptions of items. I just need help getting a decent list going and possible "survivors" from the past, or what forms would their legacies would take.

Not sure, maybe they are a secret society disguised as humans or perhaps they are living in tribes somewhere, we must think bronze age here.

Thor's hammer being used in a blacksmith's shop?

Iron Man's armor standing, dusty amongst a bunch of other suits of old armor? Maybe being used as a h at rack?

Wonder Woman's bracer, or one of them, being worn by a two-bit servicer in a flophouse?

Green Lantern's ring as just one more piece of bling on some gaudily dressed man?

Superman's cape being used as a door curtain in a little hut?

[Sociotard]

Cool. This would make a nice graphic novel.

Have bards and minstrels telling legends that tell inflated and error-filled versions of the world that was, of how George Washington prayed to the Great Copper Woman of the Bay, and she smiled upon him and granted him great power, and so was created Captain America!

[JmOz]

The emerald, scarlet, and amythest bows (Green Arrow, Arsenel, Hawkeye)

The wings of the Hawk God and Goddess

The golem of winds, and the armor that traps him (Red tornado)

The staff of the night (Starman/Stargirl)

The Evernight Sword (Ebony Blade of the Black Knight)

I'll think on it some more...

Some of the immortal characters might conceivably still be alive. Let's see...

Thor (obviously)
Firebird (at least hinted at in Busiek's run of the Avengers)
Vision (maybe)
Ultron (maybe)
Phoenix
Wonder Man (does the ionic energy make him immortal? -- in which case Nefaria and Atlas, too)
Hercules
Ghost Rider
Wolverine
Circe (and any of the Eternals)


On the DC side of things
Wonder Woman (?)
Martian Manhunter (?)
Hawk & Dove (the Lords of Chaos & Order are immortal, so their avatars might be as well)
Superman (who knows how Kryptonian physiology really works?)


More as I think of it...

[bloomann]

If I'm not mistaken, I think Wolvie's the ancient warrior in Canada mentioned in the OP.

Yeah that's right but for the story I wanted him to be amnesiac maybe even returned to a very primative savage character

I thought also Superman has gone away but before he left he created a "sacred" city (after Metrapolis was destroyed) and helped populate it (er hum) thus creating a race of demi kryptons, they would be only a little more powerful then humans and they protect their "advanced city" probably the only one left from the rest of the world, they might even have turned into tyrants with the power they obviously have somethiong that the league of Dark Knights is readily eager to see destroyed...
the plot thickens

[teh bunneh]

How about the bottled city of Kandor? Imagine an entire race of tiny people, each with enormous power! Could be where legends of pixies and faries come from...
