Steve 846 Posted June 11, 2020 Report Share Posted June 11, 2020 Given what we are seeing in the real world around the world, what do you think Hudson City would be like this year? If riots and looting broke out, would the Harbinger of Justice start a killing spree? How might other heroes of the city and villains react to the protests and riots?

And I would be on the Harbinger of Justice's side and with him. There are no excuses for rioting and looting, nor with sedition and subversion against the police.

Lord Liaden 7,147 Posted June 12, 2020 Report Share Posted June 12, 2020 No excuses? For looting, maybe not. For the others, though? Don't forget you're living in a country whose founding was inspired by sedition, which was born out of armed uprising against its lawful government. The line between lawless and justified, hero and traitor, depends on who's doing the drawing. Gary Miles, AlgaeNymph and pbemguy 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TrickstaPriest 300 Posted June 12, 2020 Report Share Posted June 12, 2020 It's pretty hard to differentiate between rioters and protesters when you are going in guns blazing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It'd be hard to run a game like this without a keen understanding of your players. However with a group that you know well, it could be an interesting drama piece and a good storyline to roll with.

Wyrm Ouroboros 17 Posted June 12, 2020 Report Share Posted June 12, 2020 As I understand the Harbinger of Justice, while he might do bad things to looters, he'd be as likely (if not moreso) to go after bad cops. TrickstaPriest and dialNforNinja 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Panpiper 112 Posted June 12, 2020 Report Share Posted June 12, 2020 I suspect you would likely fracture a group playing this. Real world politics these days is insanely divisive. Scott Ruggels, Lord Liaden, Trencher and 3 others 2 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But you might have a group that agrees with you. 6 hours ago, Wyrm Ouroboros said: As I understand the Harbinger of Justice, while he might do bad things to looters, he'd be as likely (if not moreso) to go after bad cops. That's fair- he probably would shoot both rioters/cop-killers and bad cops. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lord Liaden 7,147 Posted June 14, 2020 Report Share Posted June 14, 2020 I definitely want to spend more of my time in comic-book America. Even with supervillains, it's better than this. aylwin13 and Tom Cowan 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
