Campaign Chronicles

Stamford, CT - the New Warriors, while filming an episode for their reality-TV show, attempt to apprehend a group of supervillains. A battle erupts and one of those villains, Nitro, uses his self-detonation power and blows himself up. The blast ignites a gas main and several city blocks are destroyed. 612 civilians, including 60 children in an elementary school are killed. This event leads to the creation of the Superhuman Registration Act and the subsequent creation of the 50-State Initiative - a program where each state would be assigned a team of state-sponsored superheroes. While the SRA was eventually repealed, the Initiative teams are gradually being activated. Note #1: In Marvel Comics (Earth-616) canon, the Spaceknights are the Initiative team for Illinois. They have no "on-screen" appearances. It is implied that they are related to the Galad orian Spaceknights when the hero Spinner stated during the Skrull Invasion, " Man,  Do  they hate shape-changing al...

I was watching the Tick with my youngest son the other day and got to thinking, "I could make Blowhole into a D&D character" so, with a little puttering about, I present yet another Tick-related post for your enjoyment.

A few years ago, I came up with an crossover involving the Ghostbusters and Doctor Strange .  I have been batting this equipment around for a couple of years now as part of the first draft for Earth-218 but haven't put it to use yet. However, the original Ghostbusters RPG had the "Ghost Die". Whenever a character performs a Ghostbuster-related task, the Ghost Die must be rolled (a d6 can be substituted with a "6" representing the ghost if necessary).  If the Ghost comes up, Something Bad Has Happened.  This can range from something mildly annoying (if the task was successful) to something really embarrassing or dangerous (if the task failed).

The Priest Character Class is for use in the Western campaign that I intend to run.  While magic exists in that world , I do not want to include a class that is strong in healing magic so the historical aspect of the setting remains a bit more "Gritty" than my regular D&D campaign . THE PRIEST The Priest is a spiritual leader of the masses, directing the faith of worship of God. Adventures: Priests conduct masses, deliver sermons, and guide the faithful through troubled times. They investigate miracles and heresies while suppressing knowledge of the supernatural. Characteristics: A Priest uses the teachings of his faith and his ability to communicate his faith to others to accomplish his goals. Alignment: The majority of Priests are generally of Good alignment. Religion: Priests are members of the Catholic Church. Background: A Priest attends seminary, seeking a formal education in matters of religion. Those who show promise and discretion are recruited by ...
