dsatow Posted September 5, 2018 Report Share Posted September 5, 2018 So, I have been working on a PERL based random character 6th ed generator for a modern superhero game. What I am looking for are profession packages similar to the policeman's template on 6e1p37. These should be packages for common comic book professions, so an ice cream clerk template isn't desired. I have policeman (from the book), reporter, scientist, detective and millionaire, but 5 professions isn't that great for a random generator.

Scott Ruggels Posted September 5, 2018 Report Share Posted September 5, 2018 How many professions would you see as adequate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsatow Posted September 5, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2018 probably 20. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
assault Posted September 6, 2018 Report Share Posted September 6, 2018 Try Dark Champions and Pulp Hero. Cut them down to a sane size, naturally. Teen Champions has some for younger characters too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but most of Teen Champions templates for teenagers are the same thing with a change in the disad for a different group. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

assault Posted September 6, 2018 Report Share Posted September 6, 2018 Pulp Hero has the following packages. Obviously they need to be modernized. Many have options that cover quite a range of different characters.

assault Posted September 6, 2018 Report Share Posted September 6, 2018 Naturally! There's nothing to stop your Dilettante from being the orphaned son of a family of circus acrobats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the same as an astronaut though. The Pulp Hero list I posted has Aviator. I think some of the options for the others (Scientist?) might have suitable skills to, though in a Pulpish manner.

dsatow Posted September 7, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2018 The dark champions pdf was only $1, so I got it but the breadth of the items was exactly what I wanted. Still, I'll include it this weekend to the packages I have. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
