Stealing from them to finance their operations would not be that big a deal to those "heroes"--after all, what's grand theft auto compared to murder, battery with a deadly weapon, and destruction of private property? Dark Champions, okay. Four-color superhero campaign, not so much. But I've seen it done there as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wcw43921 Posted September 7, 2022 Report Share Posted September 7, 2022 I agree--it shouldn't happen in four-color campaigns. This being the Dark Champions forum, I figure the OP was looking for more under the radar revenue streams. Licensing one's image for comics, movies, TV, toys--that's for mainstream heroes with a downtown headquarters and a direct line to the mayor, if not the President. Urban vigilantes--especially if they are prone to use deadly force--are lucky to have a safe room in a slum tenement and a contact on the major crimes squad. So, yes, if the laundromats and the video casinos don't pay off like they hoped, they'll have to get--let's say "creative" in their financing. tkdguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawknight Posted March 9 Report Share Posted March 9 When I started back in the day I won the lottery and invested in a 5 story building as a hq. Was a 20 pt power buy and added to it with ep to show stock market growth. Money was used to upgrade equipment and help in situations where funding was needed. It was a home brew rule that we tried not to exploit for game balance. DentArthurDent, Christopher R Taylor and wcw43921 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
