tiger Posted August 13, 2021 Report Share Posted August 13, 2021 Just wanted to start a new thread dedicated to the future product Muerte Files. It will be a POD project the included all released material by Tiger Paw Press. The material will be re-edited and include new material. Look at my notes there will be a new villain team called the Reapers that are connected to TI, as well as the Conquistadors from TPP VC II. There will be two adventures plus other adventure hooks. Two places of interest on San Muerte, as well as some important people linked to them. More on the secrets of Muerte discussed in Villainy Codex II. Still considering other additions as well. Will come with a wrap around cover by John Becaro, as well as included art by Becaro, Storm Cook and Peter Saga. Feel free to give and ideas or suggestions you may have.

If I could give a few pointers about the preview? I would avoid excessive backgrounds. Particularly when you have text in front of it. It's a bit hard to read in most cases. Stick to a single font size for the book. Having some stuff at 10pts, then 12pts for something else, and 16pts for another gives it some inconsistency. The spacing with some of your images are a bit tight, particularly on page 16. You should have a bit more buffer space inserted there.

steriaca Posted November 7, 2021 Report Share Posted November 7, 2021 I kinda like the "Kyser Soure" option. Murte is truly dead, but everyone acts like he is alive for reasons. Scott Ruggels 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've moved the image, I try to leave a space and didn't realize that was so close All the headers are one font size and the base text another. I did find some headers that were the wrong size and fixed it. The background doesn't make the text hard to read int he test PDF, though it kinda does in the jpgs. I've lightened the background to make sure the text is easy to read. Sketchpad 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steriaca Posted March 24, 2022 Report Share Posted March 24, 2022 Just bought and downloaded this. After going through the PDF, it looks decent. We basically have three groups in this book. Terror Incorporated, the Conquistadors, and the Reapers. archer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steriaca Posted March 25, 2022 Report Share Posted March 25, 2022 As far as I can tell, The Reapers are a new group, grouped as latant mutants which have their mutant powers activated by wicked scientists sponsored by Muerte. It should be noted that neither the Reapers nor the Conquerors are directly controlled by Muerte/Terror Incorporated, and I think that the Reapers don't even know that Muerte is involved in their orgins. In theory if Muerte ever wished to increase the supervillain numbers of Terror Incorporated further, he simply has to appear and incorporat Conquerors or/and Reapers into the group. But then...you have to deal with a combat with woah so many members in combat (and defeats the whole point to both groups, having both groups being the groups to send out to do Muerte's will without letting the entire world know the group is still alive).

steriaca Posted March 30, 2022 Report Share Posted March 30, 2022 New "member" idea El Caro Rojo (The Red Face) A luchador originally from San Muerte, he was banned from the sport after being caught using banned substances. He went home and joined the Pero Nigro...let's call them Black Dogs for now. Rising up in the organization, he was chosen by Black Dog leadership to be experimented on to increase his strength and made virtually bulletproof. He is considered a higher up in the organization, not exactly knowing or caring that he works for Terror Incorporated and Muerte. He is one of three characters who are above the Pero agents, but below Sabot and Poignard. Also, he gets his name from the nasty habit of cutting off faces of his captives, turning the faces into leather luchador masks, then painting them red in a special persivitave paint. Then wearing the faces in combat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utensil Posted April 16, 2022 Report Share Posted April 16, 2022 LOL saw the The Muerte Files and immediately thought of the movie Undercover Blues. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PwBv2ZSJc5w Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steriaca Posted April 18, 2022 Report Share Posted April 18, 2022 I just thought up my second Black Dogs higher member. Meet Cutthroat, a mercenary acrobat with a cybernetic right leg with various blades which can extend to cut, slice, and decapitate. Her right leg is like a swiss army knife for blades.
