Poisoned Apples: Who Let The Dog Out? - A Metahumans Rising Adventure (Part 2 of the Iron Cycle)

A criminal returns to the city only to continue enforcing his corrupt dogma. The heroes stopping him is only the first part of the story, as evidence around his escape from police custody afterwards emerges.

This week we are revisiting one of our more popular adventures Poisoned Apples. Find out who is really in control of the corrupt police Brotherhood, and if things went south in Poisoned Apples: Who Let the Dog Out, clear your hero's name. 

Suit up and get ready to punch Nazis, it's time to stop the Iron Hand.

Responses are coming in, and we are seeing some clear front runners I'm each category. Not seeing the Martial Art you are looking for? Tell us what you want to see in the poll.

In 2020 we kicked off a series focused on martial arts and how to incorporate them into Metahumans Rising. Now we want to revisit that series. Help us pick the next round of styles we cover in this poll:

(PS No invite codes yet, I just got there yesterday.)

Normally I only mediate socials when we have something new to talk about. However, I thought I'd try talking about our current collection of adventures. Here goes!

Pay What You Want... In spandex!

Want a great one-shot for a #TTRPG session? Check our Drive Thru RPG page with over a dozen adventures, ranging from light hearted action to thought provoking tales.

All adventures are for Metahumans Rising. However, they can be adapted for fit virtually any spandex suits. Depending on your tastes, we have a number of adventures that also work well for urban fantasy, horror, or pulp.

Re picture above of Aquaman and Cthulhu. More than likely it would be Cthulhu controlling Aquaman which makes it scarier. 

I think this debate inspired part of the live action Aquaman film.

I haven't created a crowd-funded project myself, but I have backed several.  Mostly new product design, rather than an IP like a gaming system...but I also backed Champions Now.

 

You need your ducks in a row beforehand.  I've never been burned...but there've been times when the project was posted somewhat prematurely.  Not all suppliers lined up...or, in one case, where something that was promised *seemed* simple, but turned out NOT to be...and the fix probably meant the project ran deeply into the red.  With an IP, writing and editing ALWAYS take longer than you think, and professional editing won't come cheap.

 

You also need realistic goals.  New gaming systems at best target pretty limited audiences.  With no track record, no supporting material, they're tough sells...which also means your presentation...on KS and after...needs to be solid.  

 

Last:  whatever you think the effort will be...going formal, going published...double, if not triple it.

Nothing here looks inaccurate. Let me add from my personal experience, even when you have a team together and ready to go the moment you look like you're going to be funded delays happen.

Layout for Metahumans Rising was delayed multiple times, due to events beyond our control. As such we began providing chapter by chapter updates as proof of progress to backers. That's not to mention the packaging and shipping errors that happened from our printer that led to a second print run and having to resend books. Sometimes, even when everything is together, bad things can happen.

One thing I would add though is don't get too far down the line trying to think ahead. Focus on developing the core game, get some god play testing in. Then, when everything is buttoned up and it's time to get funding to bring something across the finish line, then pivot your focus. Now, that doesn't mean not to do things like network along the way, but more that the game itself needs to be solid before you get to crowdfunding if that's your goal. 

Applied for Bluesky but have not gotten an invite. If anyone has an invite key though...

In one of the older cartoons, there is a scene where Pig Pen takes a shower. Then as soon as he steps out, he is consumed by filth. So I say to Mr Clean... good luck.

This is so very much like the response I get when offering non-DnD games to prospective players...

 

"How about D and D, but like _this_ instead of that?"

 

(Where "this" usually means 'my favorite character type levels up thrice as quickly as all others, is immortal, and has access to all the magic, all the time.')
