I actually ran an adventure very similar to this twice, in which Grav Master tried to steal the moon to give to his much-younger "trophy" girlfriend. I ran it twice because it had gone over so darn well with the first group, and it was just as good with the second. I might even try to reconstruct it for 5th Ed and send it in for a DH adventure.

input.jack Posted July 30, 2007 Report Share Posted July 30, 2007 Re: Genres HERO GAMES may want to avoid (intended to be humorous) "The HERO Life", where the PCs are bored, (boring), shallow, vapid, socialites who have famous fathers, who are assigned to live with a group of Superheroes to try to teach them some kind of appreciation for a work ethic. Mostly the PCs get drunk, fall down, and throw hissy fits when they are sent to jail for their failure to learn ANYTHING. Ever. At all. One of the PCs is incapable of having different facial expressions. The Supers end up blowing up their headquarters to get away from the two PCs, and moving into the Hilton in Paris.

AliceTheOwl Posted August 3, 2007 Report Share Posted August 3, 2007 Re: Genres HERO GAMES may want to avoid (intended to be humorous) Heh. That reminds me. The other day, I was musing about the viability of a relationship for my Teen Champions character, who is a succubus (and will, obviously, be keeping her baser impulses to herself). I'm musing about the specifics when Josh bursts out with, "Sex is not combat!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
