JmOz Posted June 17, 2018 Report Share Posted June 17, 2018 After a couple years, I will be running my first adventure in a long time next week, would like a review of my ideas PC's Midnight Avenger: Precognitive Detective/City Coroner Dragonfly: Vehicle Master/Engineer Brute: Neanderthal Brick/Rocket Scientist Bandit: Robin hood type First adventure outline 1) MA is on patrol when she see's an old man wander into a deserted ally...She knows he is about to be mugged (The precognition thing)...4 street gangers...should be minimal work for her...as he leaves he hands her a card with an address and a symbol of a spider on it 2) DF: While testing out a new system on his vehicle, the Autopilot kicks in, he soon realizes he has been hacked (Scene ends with the ship crashing into a bay) ---little bit railroading here 3) Brute: Cage fight with another meta, afterwards e finds a similar card in his "dresssing room" 4)Bandit has been casing a warehouse for a couple weeks, while very low-key, some pretty heavy tech has been being brought in...This is the night she has decided to move... When all the heroes are gathered, they Weill be informed that the main hero of the city has been missing for the last month (as has been suspected), and they have been recruited to help keep the city safe. --------------------------- Adventure 2 A body comes into the morgue, just a street ganger, but the wounds are to large for normal guns, ACT I: Investigation A) Lightbringer industries, a local weapon manufacturer has reported a crate of STRIPES Guns stolen Police reports about new weapons on the streets C) Low life investigation ACT II: getting to close A) Some of the gangs will attack the heroes using the STRIPE Guns have recruited some extra muscle Act III: lead to a small time weapon dealer who leads to a middle management at Lightbringer's If they go for the Middle management guy he has two cronies in military grade exo-armor BoloOfEarth 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoloOfEarth Posted June 18, 2018 Report Share Posted June 18, 2018 You need a reasonable explanation for who hacked DF's vehicle and why. DF's player will be (understandably) concerned about that. If it ties directly into the plot of the adventure, all the better. Also would go over better with the player if he's able to circumvent the hacking just moments before it's about to crash into the bay. Do DF and Bandit receive cards as well? Personally, I like when a bunch of seemingly disconnected incidents are actually tied together. For instance: The muggers have a unique hand weapon, maybe something that scrambles the short-term memories of the target or makes him more amenable to suggestion. The hacking has all the hallmarks of a hacker DF put in prison... and recently escaped, reportedly with help from a meta similar to the one who fights Brute, though his specific identity can't be proven. The hacking was possible due to an off-the-shelf GPS system that is easily replaced, and is sold by a smaller firm whose parent company owns the warehouse Bandit's been casing. The meta who fights Brute has brass knuckles with an electrified setting that disables whatever limb they hit for one Phase; head hits blind / deafen the target for a Phase; body hits cause a low-level invisible transparent Entangle. Since such a weapon is against the rules, he can only use it sparingly. Bandit sees stuff similar to the muggers' weapon and the meta's electro-knucks in the warehouse, and the people in the warehouse are communicating with someone via iPad who has apparently hacked into the city's police radio / computer system to keep people away while the shipment is being received or sent out. Once they're all together, the heroes compare notes, track down who is behind it all, and take him down. Just an idea, no requirement to use any / all of it.

JmOz Posted June 18, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2018 Oh sorry, some extra details 1) the ally fight is not quite a set up, but pretty close, the old man is putting him self in harms way to pass the card on to MA 2) The hacking was done by "The Spyder". The Dragonfly (vehicle) is submersible, it is taken through a underwater tunnel and stops at the warehouse 3) The meta is more of a spiderman clone. Brute's player is new to the system, and this is intended as a combat familiarizing fight. I am more than willing to change this, as I feel it will take to much game time, and would not mind the fight club being revealed later... 4) The old man has been setting up the warehouse Long and short, the main hero of the city has gone missing, the two (Spyder and the old man) guys are the team benefactors and former assistants to the hero in question (one is the tech guy, the other was more of a general assistant). The idea is that Bandit was not intended to join BoloOfEarth 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoloOfEarth Posted June 18, 2018 Report Share Posted June 18, 2018 Those details help fill in some holes. Thanks. I like the idea of Brute (as a new player) getting an intro to the combat system, even if it does take some game time. If he doesn't mind another player knowing stuff about his character, having one of the more experienced players give him tips and suggestions might help (and keep at least one other player from getting bored). I'm still a bit mixed on the hacking-the-sub, however. The two players who get cards have the choice to to there or not, but DF doesn't get that choice. You could maybe get the same results with Spyder hacking the system enough to pass along an electronic invite, with directions to the underwater tunnel. If much of his power is centered around his vehicle, losing control of it might piss off the player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
