February 2010 Adventure Design Challenge - The Valentines Day Adventure

 

This month kicks off the HERO Forums monthly Adventure Design Challenge. The theme for this month is build an adventure that revolves around romance or love. It does not have to be a sappy love story (though it can). You can create a comedy adventure about a love potion mishap, an epic quest to rescue true love or anything else that you can come up with. Sign up at the Monthly Adventures Design Group and join in the fun.

 

Genre, Setting & Power Level

For the February 2010 challenge, any setting, genre or power level is acceptable. Just make sure you note the following information;

 

1. Which version of HERO you are writing for. We really don't mind if you want to write for Champions 1st edition if that is what you are comfortable with. If you are writing for Sidekick (5E) or the HERO System Basic Rulebook (6E), mention that as well.
   
2. What the expected point totals for the characters are and the breakdown of base points versus Disadvantages/Complications.
   
3. A specific genre or setting if used (Dark Champions, Hudson City)
   
4. An example entry might read: is a Superheroic level adventure set in Millennium City, using the HERO 6E rules. Characters will be built on the Standard Superhero points and guidelines as outlined in the HERO 6E1 book.
   

Other Guidelines

It is a good idea to follow established HERO standards. When writing up spells, for example, using one of the established magic systems from Turakian Age, Valdorian Age, or Atlantean Age would make it easier for the reader to identify with. If you don't have these resources available or just want to use another system, that is ok too. Just make sure that you provide enough information about how the system works to allow a perspective GM to run it.

 

Maps, pre-generated characters, artwork and other goodies are welcome, but not necessary.

 

If you have any questions, feel free to post them over at the Monthly Adventure Design Group.

 

Submissions and Voting

Start the submission process by posting a message over at the Monthly Adventure Design Group. From there you can use your HERO Forums blog to create a development journal. On the final submission date, post an RTF (rich text file) or PDF of your submission to your Monthly Adventure Design Group post (the one you started at the beginning of the month). A new thread will be created in the HERO System General Discussion with a Poll containing all of the entries for that month.

 

The HERO Forum community will choose the winner by popular vote. The winner will get to choose the next month's theme and general guidelines. We want to share the opportunity to pick new themes, so if one person wins two months in a row, the runner up on the second month will get to choose the following month's theme.

 

Deadline: February 21, 2010. The poll will close on February 28, 2010 at 2359 hours PST.
