The Italian Connection

[Xtian]

Re: The Italian Connection

 

And the Borgias! And maybe Dante really did go to Hell.

 

This setting has real potential.

 

Does the Vatican have a superhero team? Swiss Guard Man!

 

Yes!

I thinked about it for a long time.

If we talk about evil we must believe in good and vice-versa.

I think that Vatican's wall hide a few powerfull meta-human gruop and a strike elite force. The first ones are attached to all Great-Dimensional-Demonic enemies, like parademons or other dimension breaks.

The other are "holy" spys which have the the job to investigate on misteries of religious type...

Opus Dei?

Re: The Italian Connection

 

And how about the 2nd world war?

 

 

Thanks for the great ideas. I'll comment more next week when I get more time, but I just wanted to say that our last Dawnstars game involved a bit of time travel back to the Second World War and kind of touched on the Seven Martyrs who were executed by the Nazis. An NPC (who becomes something of a villain) was married to one of the men who were executed, and worked to help the heroes in the Past.

 

I do have lots of questions which I'll hope to get up on this board in the next week. Love the names of organisations you've already mentioned. I've needed a secret police for a while, but have only used the two 'cousins' of law enforcement (and there has been rivalry between them, and bureacratic bumbling!).

Re: The Italian Connection

 

I'm here for you.

By this time I'm reading a full detailed hstorical book about 2nd wold war so if you need some informations... I'm prepared.

 

I'm also organizing a real Hero resource home page for Italian fan with international information, but all is freeze now (we are waiting the Steve Long's Blessing).

When the site is ready I tell you the URL.

Re: The Italian Connection

 

Opus Dei?

 

 

Mmm... Really I don't know a lot about Opus Dei (only the few thing from the DaVinci Code ) but I remember that it's an American organization.

Of course the previous Pope was a Opus member so... all and nothing.

About Dante... Why not? In some Italian based settings Dante is still alive but in another dimension. It can be interesting a closed encounter with the "Sommo Poeta".

 

Other thing: anyone of you had seen Mission Impossible: 3?

[Vestnik]

Re: The Italian Connection

 

For some reason I thought Opus Dei was founded by a Spaniard who was close to Franco. But I may be wrong.

 

I have never seen MI3, or MI2 for that matter.

 

Maybe Dante returned from Paradiso with - SUPER-POWERS! That would be cool. And with his sidekick Beatrice.

In MI3 movie a little bit of the action is placed in the Vaticano state.

As many other american movie italian don't make a very good impression.

if you will see it you must know that:

1. Italians don't move faster or shaking the hands while speaking;

2. Don't have strange names which sounds similar to pasta;

3. Italians drive good (or as good as any other civilizated culture);

 

I think that Dante is something like a visionary with mental powers and huge PRE skills. Beatrice is a spirit-like being wich appear randomly with informations or trick to resolve...

After all... she is dead.

 

Dante could a sort of Dimensional Guardian, watching for angels or demons trenspassing (like Constantine movie...)

Don't even get me started on Hollywood's crap depictions of other countries. Believe it or not, not everybody in Russia is in the Mafia. Just imagine, Russia is mostly populated by farmers, students, housewives, mathematics professors, and other such non-Mafia people! What a shock! Oh never mind.

 

Well, Dante is also dead by this point in history. I like the idea of making him an interdimensional guardian -- he did pass through the worlds, after all. But it was Virgil who brought him through...

Well... Virgilio guided him the first time. The he come back with super powers (and immortal life support) and simulate his death (did you know that Dante tomb is in my city, Ravenna?).

Now he have Beatrice who bring him some Paradise informations on Inferno minions movement. A demon wich make the same on Angel's movements and Virgilio who assist him in his investigation...

What do you think?

Not a lot of RPG gamers. When RPGs got started this was still the USSR and they would have been seen as a "decadent capitalist" invention, so there's not much of a gaming culture. (There was a Soviet version of Monopoly though, so they could appropriate anything I guess.) But considering how many people here are addicted to World of Warcraft I could see it taking off.

 

I was wondering where in Italy you were -- I used to date a woman from Milano. I had no idea where Dante was buried -- why not in his native Florence?

 

I like the Beatrice idea. How is religion going to work in your game -- is the Inferno the real Hell?

So you really use the phrase "decadent capitalist"? I always thinked it was an Occidental invention.

Yes but he leaved Florence (Firenze) for political problems. He travel as an exile trough Italy (during these voyage he thinked about a travel from Inferno to Paradiso) and find a home in Ravenna where he stayed until his death. Many years later Florence citizens (fiorentini) wanted his body but he rest here again

 

I like the Beatrice idea. How is religion going to work in your game -- is the Inferno the real Hell?

 

I use a more complex Inferno. I think that is a multidimensional place (formed of 999 inferni. The first and last ones are disabitated or earth-near. The ones which is sometimes visible from our dmension and/or from where some ghsts or demons may escape. The inner ones are the planes of all culture's hell (like nowegian hell, greek hell, etc.) They are a kind of regions. I usually a have a player of deminic origin (it is a human-demon mix resulted from an experiment of Demon organization high positioned in Inferis gerarchies) and he visited some of them. There is a lot of "space" for ideas. One of them, for example, is a complex alien forest where demons hunts humans for sport...

I remember about Dante now -- he put a lot of his Florentine enemies into Hell, in fact. I think Dante may have been a bit spiteful.

 

Yes, until Gorby time most anything that came from the West was supposed to be a "product of the decadent capitalist West." Western cities were supposed to be dystopias of massive poverty ruled over by a handful of evil fat capitalists (kind of like how Russian cities are portrayed in the West today! ). Which doesn't mean nothing got through -- Tootsie was a big hit in the USSR, as was ABBA. ABBA supposedly had a deal with the Soviet government whereby they would get their records distributed in exchange for cheap concerts, or something like that. Depeche Mode was also huge. The Beatles were on the state record label.

 

I like the plural infernos idea. If you took Dante too literally the Roman gods and any other non-Christian supernatural whatevers would have to be demons in disguise, which isn't very comic book.

Yes. I also use the Neil Gaiman's American Gods teory. Do you know?

All deities are a humun mind rappresentation. More minds believe in one thing most powerfull are the avatars. This can explain why the same evil beings had different aspects of culture seed.

 

Now I'm going to eat but I will think about a advanced Dante character sheet to submit at this forum...

Re: The Italian Connection

 

Actually I'm not even Russian, just have lived here for a long time.

 

I look forward to seeing Super Dante. This could be cool. (Wasn't he guided to Hell in the first place by a panther and two other animals? "Midway through my life's journey..." Maybe they could be followers.

If you want biographical data, I was born in Germany, grew up in the US and moved to Russia six years ago.

 

I think he looks cool. I don't picture him as having a 6 SPD (Kung Fu Dante!; but then he is a 700+ point character!) and his defenses seem really low not counting the VPP. What is Dimensional Technology? Is the stuff all focussed-based?

Yes. I know. I had doubts about it but it is a (high power) champions sheet so... the SPD is necessary. I thinked about it as a biological power aquired from dimensional work, as universal translator and mental powers. He was "manipulated" from some interdimensional force and had gain some inner powers. Dimensional technology is a magic-based form of focus. In some dimension is magic, in some other tech. It reflects the gadget pool he have to fight dimensional enemies.

 

You gonna write up Beatrice?

Good idea for the KSs.

Even if after 700 years of this work he probly have something more generic like AK: Dimensions 15-

 

Other adders can be:

languages (Celestial, Infernalis)

Re: The Italian Connection

 

Looks awesome. I'm still worried about his defenses. If he ever gets involved in combat, he's going to be crushed like a damned soul writhing under a rock.

[Xtian]

Re: The Italian Connection

 

Well...

I think that Dante is not a combat character. He probably prefer conversation and mental powers to escape from dangerous situations.

If the story fall to a conflict then he can use gadgets (a personal Force Field or a desolidification that shake his body into different dimension randomly, for example).

[Xtian]

Re: The Italian Connection

 

About Paradise:

If hell is a 999 layer dimension pack, its opposite is less schematic.

A more order-based dimension with well defined hierarchies and a more "military" aspect.

It could seems strange but as bible say there are "hierarchies of angels".
