GOLDEN AGE GOLDDIGGER?

[animemun001]

I had an interesting idea for a campaign with Golddigger,Put them in the Golden Age of super-heroes. So for a bit more fun for the great FANS of gold-Digger. Lets see you guys create either pictures or characters of your favorite characters as GAC version as you can make them. Have fun creating and have fun showing off. After all thats what all the characters are around for right?

Sounds interesting. See if Logan D will bounce Ideas with you, he's a big GD fan.

As a matter of fact...

 

So - What's the premise here?

 

Gina goes back in time to the Golden Age?

 

Or a bit of a rewrite to place her origin (and that of the rest of the family) back in the Golden Age altogether?

 

Surprisingly, once I start to think of it, the latter wouldn't require -that- much of an alteration. The magic elements such as her father's aura magic and Britanny's origin could be left almost entirely unchanged. Ace could still be the best pilot in the world, he just flies a Delta Clipper instead of a C-130 Hercules. Or Howard Huges employs him as a test pilot! Maybe he gets to put the Spruce Goose through it's paces!

 

(Hmmm... On the other hand, I just thought of a kink in the ointment. Both Ace and Penny would find it almost impossible to do what they do in an era where racism still exists to the degree that it did back then. On the other hand, if you want to ignore that element or handwave it, then do it. It is your game after all. )

 

The archeological aspects can work just fine. Both Gina and Penny are Indiana Jones seen through a very warped mirror after all.

 

Ryan could still have the "photographic reflexes" thing going. Of course, with martial arts not having become widespread yet, his repritoire will be a little more limited. Maybe he uses guns more often?

 

Brianna's origin would be almost the same, I think, except the trappings of her initial "birth" might be look more like they came out of "Young Frankenstein". (heh, there's all kinds of jokes just waiting within that concept. )

 

The technological aspects are the ones that will cause the most headaches. What can and can't Gina invent and still keep the flavor of the age right? Seems like the Batman Animated adventures from the early 90s might be a good guide there. Note that the world in that show had a sort of Golden Age feel, yet had such anacronisms as jet propulsion and computers. Although TVs still were in black and white, and cars still looked like they were being designed by Packard. It had a feel of "sometime in the 20th century, but we're not saying just when" to it. Maybe anything that Batman/Bruce Wayne could invent is something that Gina could reasonably be expected to accomplish.

 

Anyway, there's some thoughts to start with.

[animemun001]

yes those are some concepts I was thinking about. I did want to keep the golden age on the same level so the racial problems would certainly make for interesting rp. Maybe a secret combat pilot? at least to the general public. Penny would be an interesting archeologist.

AS for Gina though..yeah I think I might go along with the batman theory about her technology.

But now you got me thinking about the angle of time travel. maybe a lab explosion sending the family into not just back in time but causing mystical backlash on dear old dad ((player wants to play the archmage that was going to be my big headache)) maybe with a major dampening of all that elderich energy

Gina Diggers, Daughter of the Mysterious Mr. Diggers a reclusive Millionaire. The only Archeologists laughed at for her 'findings' of ancient alien technology underneath a few ancient Greek ruins. One such item that still seems to work is her amazing 'Girdle of Protection' supposidly worn by aphrodite. (granted she had to tincker with it to get to work) She and her sister continue to search for great teasures, cute guys, The Supernatural, Rich Guys, and to find the answers to the universe everyone needs to know...guys in general.

Re: GOLDEN AGE GOLDDIGGER?

 

Odd...this got me thinking of a "Western GoldDiggers" ideal.

 

Or, equaly odd, "Western Ninja High School".

[animemun001]

Re: GOLDEN AGE GOLDDIGGER?

 

ooooowestern goldDigger, now that could be interesting

[steriaca]

Re: GOLDEN AGE GOLDDIGGER?

 

ooooowestern goldDigger' date=' now that could be interesting[/quote']

 

True. I always wonder what Gina and Brit would look like in long dresses and heads full of sausage curls.

 

Of course, Gina would find it hard to get around outside the USA, considering the attatude twords women. And nobody would recognise her as a true arcologiest. Brit...well, Brit is still Brit, no mater what the time period is. Shure, she would proably try to look as demure as a wearcheta can, but I will guess that she will be given some sort of leeway, considering what she is, and the fact that she never felt the need to hide it.

 

Now Ace and Penny have more reasion to adventure in this era. Depending on the time period, thay could be anything from runaway slaves to first generation from runaway slaves, to free blacks. Ace will proably be Gina's "testpilot" for her many inventions involving flight, which she keeps secret from the rest of the world. And Penny...well...Penny is Penny. And she is trying to get Ace to 'jump the broom' with her.

 

Any other time periods we can think up?

[animemun001]

Re: GOLDEN AGE GOLDDIGGER?

 

Still tho one could make the alteration that Gina instead of perform archeology out of state would be doing it in america as an explorer

Re: GOLDEN AGE GOLDDIGGER?

That, of course, depends on the time period of American history. Most of America has been 'explored' by around the 1800's, but not seatled yet. Which, of course, is what the western was all about...the seatling of the west, turning it from a wild, lawless place to a calm, lawful place.

 

Which makes me think, Ryan could easly be a gunslinger type. In fact, he could easly be an ex-solder (Civil War era, or Spanish American War era), who survived via his keen, almost mystical ability to mimic what other people do ("Photographic Reflexes"), and got tiered of all the killing (he "learned" to shoot to wound, and to shoot guns out of people's hands, watching a mysterous masked lawman and his indian companion).

 

Oh, and I just realised what "kind" of archeology Gina could do...basicly she could do unoficial indian archology, cataloging the old places and tribes which were no longer with us during that time "before we white men do something even more stupid, and lose our chance to learn from theas amazing people".

 

And Brit, will HAVE to stay in her human form most of the time, so to not disturb her protental boyfriends.
