In my experience, t's a rare superhero setting that only has a handful of villains.

Now with my face to face game, well, IF we ever get to play again, sometimes it's 'well, would you make this for me' not because I'm great at making them... but because it saves time . What I expect to happen is they'll go "Can I exchange this for this? " or "I don't like that part" etc. But they'll still appreciate the option of the samples.

csyphrett Posted April 27, 2020 Report Share Posted April 27, 2020 The two games I was in where the GM decided powers for me sucked. I wouldn't want to get mindswapped into a character that I hated. CES Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry if you had bad experiences with being FORCED to play something you didn't like, but I'm not doing that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Rand Posted April 27, 2020 Report Share Posted April 27, 2020 June Morton is the light-fingered lady whose body is now occupied by the mind of Janice Harrison, the failure. June wasn't an actual member of the Malice Mob, she just committed burglaries at the request of several of the members and was there to get an assignment.

starblaze Posted April 29, 2020 Report Share Posted April 29, 2020 Maybe there is a much more powerful supervillain, more powerful than all of them that they owe a debt to and they have to fulfill that debt or things could get really bad. However, they don't know what that job is and when they find it's something that they really don't want to do they would have a moral dilemma.

It would be possible, sure, though I'd want all the Players in on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or be on the run for them? They killed the city's beloved symbol; who's not going to be out to get them? I'm fine playing the low-profile approach...the vigilante fighting the corrupt system is always fun...but this feels worse. Especially given the mental shocks implicit here. They'll see, or soon hear, about their own deaths. Get the great joy of going to their own funeral, and watching their friends and family devastated. There's a lot of seriously negative vibe to this setup. I think another way to do this would be to try the "Thunderbolts" approach from Marvel. Just abandon the old costumed identities and create new, heroic ones. Even better, if you could find a respected hero who is a telepath, they could verify the story is true, that these are no longer the same people. There could be lingering memories of the old villains in each body, not enough to take over or outright control them, but maybe influence the new people a bit.

Duke Bushido Posted May 14, 2020 Report Share Posted May 14, 2020 Sorry for the interruption-- just scrolling through and noticed your mention of "The Cricket." Spot-on description of him, by the way, even though you've never actually met (though you left out he's handy with tech ) Just if you were wondering (sorry; I don't have the wherewithal to post the image in-thread, but here he is: one of the most eager and annoying NPC heroes ever to grace Campaign City: The Cricket. https://drive.google.com/open?id=1z8mn6kUbrI_3I8vHm8LtwQ5aqipQxC9T Hermit 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
