Mutant for Hire Posted March 16, 2003 Report Share Posted March 16, 2003 Actually, it's more along the lines of "life imitates anime" category, but here's something amusing if the characters ever go to Tokyo: http://www.japantimes.co.jp/cgi-bin/getarticle.pl5?fl20030301a1.htm Or at the very least it's a lot easier to justify "understructures" to a given campaign city.

Speaking of the under city. Everyone remembers the Chicago Fire, but how many remember the Great Chicaago Flood. Chicago Flood it gets better. Gov.

Mutant for Hire Posted March 16, 2003 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2003 So to actually make this thread useful to a Champions campaign, we can actually look at the reasons for old structures in the underside of a city: 1. Old subway/sewer tunnels. This works especially well when you realize in the basement of some buildings there are occasionally boarded up entrances to these old tunnels and then sometimes connect to newer tunnels. This allows one to enter a mundane building and come out any subway exit. 2. WWII/Cold War structures A lot of governments built a lot of fallout shelters. Places deep in the ground, defensible, designed to hold quite a bit. As a result, a lot of these places would probably make pretty good bases in terms of basic layout and positioning.

starblaze Posted March 17, 2003 Report Share Posted March 17, 2003 That reminds me of the movie Blast from the Past. It was about a retired teacher and his family that live in a huge bomb shelter. They went down there during the Cuban Missile Crisis and stayed down when they thought that nuclear war had actually happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
