  1. Quote of the Week from my gaming group...

    in Champions

    Posted

    Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group...

     

    This is from an old pulp hero game of mine

     

    the hero's had been dungeon delving and had just come across a room with a shiny silver floor. the floor was really 3inches of mercury (just enough for a human to float)

     

    GM (me): you see a room with a vaulting roof and an odd metallic silver floor

     

    Rocketeer:*leans over and rubs the floor* i think this is mercury!

    Player: wait isn't mercury posion?

     

    Montana Smith (indiana jones): not in 1935 it isn't

     

    the party then "walked" across the floor

     

    it got really interesting on there way out when they had to battle nazis while balancing on the mercury

     

    ahh... good times

    im planning on brining in the necrons into my game and was wonder if any of you out there had ideas on how to write them up

     

    note: i want them to be killable, cause it just an't fair to the players if their immortal killer bots.

     

    in particular im looking for the warriors, the lords and the nightbringer himself

    Re: My new campaign

     

    thank you guys for the advice, i am not too worried about it being realistic. i ran my first session and everyone had a blast. the game ran well, the players had fun, and so did I. and thats all that really matters, when you are running a game, isn't it?

     

    well thanks for the help guys!

    Re: My new campaign

     

    thanks for yours guys input. the campaign is going to be some what akkin to the xbox game crimson skies (fun game)

     

    the group (about 5-6 people) will be a group of mercenaries the british have hired to, in the begining at least, stop the raids on one of there shipping lanes with america.

     

    and as far as science goes it will be very rubber :)

  14. My new campaign

    in Pulp Hero

    Posted

    i'm starting a new pulp hero game. i just wanted you guys to take a look at my setting and history and tell me what you think and critique it

     

    Historical Overview

     

    • Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin had his first successful airship flight in 1898 in Germany.

     

    • The Wright brothers died in 1899 in a tragic fire.

     

    • 1900 zeppelin travel becomes commonplace

     

    • 1905 first plane invented, flew for 30 seconds before crashing

     

    • 1914 the first world war is started

     

    • 1916 United States declares neutrality and supplies both sides of the war

     

    • 1928 WW1 ends in a draw when Britain signs the treaty of Paris. As part of the treaty Germany gave Britain back the lower half of England in return for the western part of France. Leaving Germany a rather large holding of land

    (i attached a map)

     

    • 1935 (present) an uneasy peace exists between Germany and the rest of Europe. The US has become an economic power house buy selling supplies to both sides.

     

    and then i have the airship stuff writen up here:

     

    Airships

     

    Primary compartments

    Bridge: main command center of airship

    • Captain’s chair: where the captain commands from. Can communicate to the rest of the ship

    • Helm: directly in front of captain’s chair. Steers the ship and controls throttle.

    • Navigator’s desk: located to the right of the captain’s chair. Navigator plots course and calls out directions to the Helm

    • Communications. Directly behind Chair. Radio operator sends and receives communications.

    • Fighter Command (Military only) located to the left of the chair. coordinates fighters by relaying information from the look-outs

     

    Engine Room: where the diesel engines, that power the ship, are located. It is also possibly, but difficult to steer the ship from here

     

    First aid station: where the medical supplies are located and the doctor works. In some larger ships, mainly military, this can be more like a small hospital.

     

    Captain’s Quarters: where the captain spends his time when he is not on deck

     

    Crew Quarter’s: where the crew spends there down time and where they sleep

     

    Passenger quarters: this is where passengers stay on a passenger liner. On a cargo ship this would be the cargo hold.

     

    Fore/Aft/Starboard/Port lookout: these lookouts keep an eye out for pirates and obstacles. All are armed with machineguns, just in case

     

    Crow’s nest: same as lookouts

     

    Armory: where personal fire arms are kept. Most ships care a few rifles in pistols. However mercenaries and military ships may care quite a bit more and usually have heavier arms

     

    Hanger: where the ships fighters or support craft dock to refuel

     

    Turrets: some ships have more turrets on then for extra protection.

     

    let me know what you guys think and feel free to make comments, suggestions, and to critique it all you want.

    Re: WWYCD: framed

     

    Tempest

    Would look at the viper agents and say "what are you doing here i'm robbing this bank" then proceded to make an exit and leave

     

    Paper

    Calmly stak all the money into neat piles (with tk) and sit down and wait for his rights to be read

     

    Enforcer

    would fly off with the money in his power armor. he is on the run from the government right now because he knows to much and could use the cash

    Re: My game, and whats happening in it

     

    thanks for the advice, i'll double check the book but those ideas are good

     

    i especially like the one abouth planting false memories :eg:

     

    and for a little while the PCs will be have a war on VIPER (hope it goes better then our war on terror)

     

    my friend is a fiendish devil when it comes to running a villianous oragnization.

     

    his first plot is to rob a bank, now to get the justice league out of the way he is planting a bomb in a hospital on the otherside of town.

     

    i mean he is a natural, he is already planning on one day raiding stronghold to break everone there out. now that will be a mess.

     

    also just in case anyone missed it my game is a dark champions game now, however the characters are still playing champions level heros.

     

    so if anyone has some homemade superpower dark cham baddies iwould love to see then.

     

    thanks for your help and support

    Re: My game, and whats happening in it

     

    sry its been so long since i posted, i have been busy (ugh school!). the team handled anubis pretty well, albet someone was hospitalized (blindness) but thats been cured. all in all it was a good session.

     

    a friend of mine dropped by and wanted to play, but didn't have a character. so i let him play anubis and WOW!! he played a good villian (part of the reason it went so well)

     

    he took one look at the sheet and slipped into the role perfectly, i guess some people are just naturals

     

    anyways he had a ton of fun, so he is going to be running the villians in my next session, which is good, because now i have an assistant and someone to bounce ideas off of, besides you guys.

     

    well to start him off, and me, i just bought the VIPER book. which is amazing. the level of detail is stunning. great job!! anyways so he is going to play as a nest leader for a while.

     

    my biggest worrie is that after the first fight when the KO an agent the heros will use telepathy to find out where the nest is and all that. the nest itself has psonic shielding

    (invis to mental), but any ideas on how to keep the pcs from finding the nest on session one would be appreciated

     

    thanks in advance for the help and advice!
