http://www.herostuff.net/gnborh/groups/gnborh-Cartoon.html (scroll about halfway down the page). Now, thre were done a few years ago, so their 4th edition, but I'd probably do them pretty much the same way now. (I used 50+disads).

 

These character were actually used in a few convention games (even Scooby). Much fun.

Here are the write-ups I use when I run them at convention games. They're 50+25, but they're a good starting point for you.

Re: This weeks Un-Hero Challenge

 

There was an ongoing "campaign" run at several GenCons before I started attending GenCon which involved the Gang with the Cthulhu Mythos. Apparently it was quite popular until the GMing troupe that did ti couldn't make it one year and it never returned.

 

May people have been asking where the group gets their money. Some unsavory ideas have been suggested, but my theory is that they are supported by a combination of Daphne's trust fund and reward money. Later in their carrers, they might even be considered professional detectives, although they are not for hire in the usual sense (since they are on the road continually, how do you find them even if you did want to hire them?)]

 

An anime crossover for the Scooby-do cast that might be interesting is with Lupin III. Lupin flirting with Daphne would be interesting, especially if Fujiko notices and decides to get even by flirting with Fred. Inspector Zenigate would find the "meddling kids" extermly annoying, especially if they insist the source of the problem isn't Lupin (and naturally, they will turn out to be right).

 

Although "drive all the touists away with a monster scare" is the sort of trick Lupin might actually try -- until he realizies that there are some teenage detectives on his case who are wise to that kind of chichanery....

Re: This weeks Un-Hero Challenge

 

Mattingly's writeup are a bit high-point but decent. Comments:

 

Shaggy has Acrobatics.

Shaggy and Scooby should have lower PRE scores.

Freddy should have more INT.

On the old cartoon, Velma wouldn't have had Electronics. She wasn't good with machines.

Daphne has Wealth? And is Superstitious? And Loves Fred? (I guess they did that last one in the movies.)

I'd give Shaggy & Scooby Always Hungry and an additional Psych Lim for Scooby Snacks. There's nothing they wouldn't do for those things.
