The PRIMUS base in Pittsburgh


Mark Rand

Recommended Posts

In my version of the CU, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the campaign city and my home town, has a PRIMUS base. The heroes are part of a superhero team that works for PRIMUS. They also have a support staff composed of PRIMUS agents and civilians employed by the agency.

Except for the base itself, all places mentioned below are real and their locations haven't been changed.

The base itself is located in Station Square on McKean Street, between the T tracks and the Liberty Bridge, which connects to East Carson Street. (In case you didn't know, the T is Pittsburgh's Light Rail Transit system.) For those who like to hike or bike over lunch, the Station Square River Front Trail is close by. It starts on PRIMUS's side of the East Warehouse parking lot and ends up near the Duquesne Incline. (In case you're interested, the East Wearhouse is home to a Hooters.)

The map of the base itself is based on the one in Shelley's article in Digital Hero issue 6. The only differences in the maps are the names of base personal and a gateway.

Said gateway leads to the superhero team base and a pocket reality. The team's base is a mansion, belonging to Warder, a team member, that's on Millianaire Row, Fifth Avenue between Devonshire Street and Shady Avenue. The pocket reality has living quarters, but is basically a training town, complete with exersize facilities and a Japoanese garden.

So much for PRIMUS employees. There are superheroes there, too. Here they are.

Cat, a woman in a feline-looking suit of powered armor. Each hand has retractable claws and three retractable blasters

Warder, heriess and socialite Lisa Ward, is a mage

Amber, a western screech owl, is Warder's familiar

Next, we'll look closer at the mansion and meet the people that live there.
