tiger Posted January 20, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2018 One thing I think should be known is much like Muerte and Terror Inc. in Villainy Codex II. CLOWN in Villainy Codex III will not simply be a converting 4th edition characters to 6th edition. Background, powers, skills. complications may change, new powers may be gained and some characters won't be coming along for the ride. There are at least two new characters being added as well, Balloon-A-Tic and one other. So this is a semi-revision of CLOWN with some of the original players. IMP on the other hand is new and totally separate from CLOWN. The reason for the 'Send In The Clowns" title is both teams wear comical gear, but the two are totally different. Like Villainy Codex I, there will be two organizations given in this product. Unlike VCI the two aren't truly connected at all. Just wanted to make sure that was clear to everyone. Please continue with any ideas for either please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiger is just saying that the way he is going to write the teams up is 5hat there are no links between teams. That should not prevent you from doing so. Remember, "IYG".

steriaca Posted January 20, 2018 Report Share Posted January 20, 2018 Prehaps the most dangerous member of IMP is Master Goldberg. Master Goldberg is an excellent designer, making deathtraps out of everyday objects which run in sequence. Devices used to decapitate a victim are usually done with a convator belts, a mouse, a cat, a dog, a bowling ball, a robotic arm, and a toy lightsaber.

steriaca Posted January 21, 2018 Report Share Posted January 21, 2018 Nice art. Was making a reference to the cartoonist Rub Goldberg, who's clame to fame are one panel cartoons about devices which do extremely simple things in a complicated and funny way.

steriaca Posted January 28, 2018 Report Share Posted January 28, 2018 Oh, nice to see Fox of Crime branching out to CLOWN as well as being the "Charlie" for GRAB. Sorry, prehaps I should of put that behind spoiler tags. And considering how old the "official" Fox of Crime is, this guy could be the grandson of the original guy. Or not.

Unless there's a "grand design" heading another direction I like keeping the same heroes and villains as the same person. Now of course if say a villain goes off to Stronghold then maybe his son will step up and take their place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steriaca Posted February 1, 2018 Report Share Posted February 1, 2018 So, what do you want for the experienced Fox of Crime? I expect: 1 ) More teleportation tricks. Like stretching ("quarter move teleport, do something, and return"), +Strength, only to excape grabs, only if able to teleport (*tap on shoulder* "What cha got in the sack, Mac?"), and stuff like that. 2 ) Some good old fashion Tom foolery ("What do you know, I got your gun and your shoes are tied Mac."). 3 ) Pies. Unlimited pies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steriaca Posted February 3, 2018 Report Share Posted February 3, 2018 You forgot his detachable tail. I don't expect him to be a hand to hand expert or such. I do expect him to have some major tport tricks. I also expect him to do things like tieing some heros boot laces together and such. I expect him to be a skilled locksmith. An expert climber. An expert pickpocket. I expect him to have a minor Gadget Pool. And pies. Don't forget the pies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steriaca Posted February 3, 2018 Report Share Posted February 3, 2018 The Fox of Crime's Gadget Pool. I don't expect it to be large at all. Basically, it is supposed to be for small objects which makes a caper easier. Like glass cutter blades. Magnetic boots to climb walls (clinging). Inferred lens googles. Gas mask able to be snucked into a pocket. Stuff master burgers carry from time to time. Nothing of Merry Andrew magnificent, quality, or outrageousness. Of course, now that Merry Andrew is a teammate... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steriaca Posted February 3, 2018 Report Share Posted February 3, 2018 The Fox of Crime's "Back Pocket". Merry Andrew has given Fox something all major cartoon character have, a "back pocket" dimension able to store away various objects. It can only handle realities small objects without a life force, but it should be enough for him to stash away a trenchcoat and fadora (Instant Change Cosmetic Transformation), palm away small objects (Extradimensional Space, page 27-28 of Advanced Player's Guide 2, and prehaps Object Creation, page 32-34 of the same book) and supply pies for faces. Hidden in the dimension is a special device created by Andrew, the Pie Machine. It creates pies for the Fox to use. It creates one pie and places it on hold till needed. Since the pies are simply pie tins filled with nondary whipped cream, they can last a while till Fox calls for one. Then the machine fixes him a new one. The portal to this is hidden in Fox's right glove. To simulate the power, without using APG2, then buy Extradimensional Travel, Usable Against Others, Limited Power (Doesn't Work On Objects Larger Than A Large Book, And Nothing With A Life Force). This should be enough to send objects to the "back pocket". Same as above, but add Transdimentinal to bring things out of it. And the Pie Machine, that is the special effect of Fox's flash attack.
