Trouble for Havoc!

A Superworld supplement and a rarity in gaming in that it has stats for Champions and Villains & Vigilantes as well.

First there are some rules clarifications with mea culpas and some because I decided so justifications, so those are a little odd. Never been much of a Superworld rules fan…I’d pick Champions instead going that point buy way. I still like to read superhero games though.

Three adventures therein:

A nuclear reactor problem
An underground psychic lost race (which has campaign possibilities)
A downed alien spacecraft with crew that becomes a tug of war between American heroes, Russian heroes and American villains.

So pretty interesting. It was worth getting cheapish on ebay as definitely usable.

Crooks! Good value, with multiple ordinary joes like ninjas and superspies

Says over 50 in the blurb, underselling itself a bit, given the ordinary joe “vampires, superspies, robots” etc. as it mentions. Will definitely pay those given the work put in.

Aliens [Broan, Skoviak, Waloran,], Antag Agents [Technician, Officer,], Atomic Brain,
Beholder, Bestiary [Behemoth, Chimera, Manticore, Undine, ], Black Diamond, Blitz,
Combots [Trainer, Pawn, Knight, ], Cultists [Initiate, Adept, Trusted Sibling, Highest Among Equals, Most Holy,], Carrion Queen, Choke Chain, Clique [Boy Toy, Crush, Jawbreaker, Other Woman, Pixie, Wallflower, ], Czar,
Demons [Enforce, Nemesis, ], Dr Dungeon,
Goblins [Henchling, Gremlin, ],
Iron Cross,
Johnny Reb,
Kalak the Mystic,
Mechanauts [Thunder, Armageddon], Military Personnel [Soldier, Snip[er, Officer, ], Miss Martian, Moodswing, Moonquake, Mountain King, Murder Man [Butcher Boy, ],
Ninjas [Gray, Red, White, Master of Nine Winds, ], Neutronik, Nihilist,
Player 2,
Redhawk, Rose Monk [White Lotus Clan Monk],
Security Agents [Rent-a-cop, Bodyguard, Security Expert], Sky Pirates [Wingman, Rocket Jockey], Stellar Guardsman, Superspies [Secret Agent, Archive Agent, ], Singularity, Sister Blister, Sovereign, Spasm, Sulemain,
Terrorists [Martyr, Revolutionary,], Thugs [Goon, Boost-Boy, Assassin, ], Tag Team [Burner, Tag, Toykiller,], Toreador,
Unitrol Mediators [Officer, P.H.S.T., ], Unifier,
Vampires [Bystander, Elite Fanglord, ], Vagabond [Aphex Key,],
Werewolves [Bystander (masked), Bystander (lupine), Soldier, ], Wasphawk, Waymaker,
Zombies [Bystander, Bystander (ravenous dead), Soldier,],

So, pretty good, but very cheesy cartoony artwork for a more than fair share of psychopaths et. al. Pretty good overall.

The Fate of Stormwatch: Team Achilles

Stormwatch: Team Achilles

Wildstorm was one of my favourite things.

The Fate of Stormwatch: Team Achilles

Benito Santini

High Concept: Charming, manipulative and ruthless leader
Trouble: I have an artificial knee
Aspect 1: Sure, there might be a racist Senator in my Basement
Aspect 2: I had a plan for that
Aspect 3: Yes, you are expendable

FATERIP

F: Remarkable +3
A: Good +1
S: Good +1
E: Remarkable +3
R: Excellent +2
I: Remarkable +3
P: Excellent +2

Res: Remarkable [+3]
Pop: Excellent [+2]

PH: 1 2 3
MH: 1 2 3
Co: 2 4 6
K : 3

Skill Specialisations

+4 Contacts, Fighting [Martial Arts B, C, E], Notice [Investigate]
+3 Reason [Espionage, Law Enforcement, Military]
+2 Agility [Marksman]
Martial Arts A, D

Extras

Project Entry

An horrific other planet experiment in extermination by a psycopathic superman is also a handy as a vomit inducing teleport facility to get his team where they need to go.

FATE CORE

+5 Deceive
+4 Contacts, Notice
+3 Fight, Resources, Investigate
+2 Physique, Shoot, Will, Provoke
+1 Athletics, Burglary, Drive, Rapport, Stelath

Stunts

+2 to use knowledge of international law and related for political advantage
+2 to tactically leading a team taking down SPBs

Approaches

+1 Careful
+2 Clever
+1 Flashy
+2 Forceful
+2 Quick
+3 Sneaky

Weapon: 0

While writing FATERIP this was my idea as a possible option to use. If someone is employing a ‘garden variety’ weapon. Cheap handgun where those are commonly available, knife, blackjack, club, knuckledusters, rock etc then there is no damage bonus.

If using something out of the ordinary, like a large sword, machine gun, sniper rifle, battleaxe, electricity pole etc. then calls those Weapon: 1. Prepared intent to be nasty, if you like, as opposed to stumble into a brawl.

Physique, Fight, Will = Forceful
Stealth, Burglary, Deceive = Sneaky
Empathy, Resources, Crafts = Careful
Rapport, Provoke, Drive = Flashy
Lore, Investigate, Notice = Clever
Contacts, Athletics, Shoot = Quick

Having a Hway Old Time

A new alien race for use with FASERIP.

Fish people. Think Deep Ones but smarter and prettier, in a fish sense.

The Hway are generally religious cultists that use Lovecraftian warp entities to power their spaceflight and advanced technology.

Having enslaved the other races in their own system they are looking for new territories to expand to, convert and gain fresh young genetic material for experimentation.

Hway need special strains of mutant tomato family plants for their navigators to expand their consciousness enough to be able to control the strange and unreliable space travel. If a Hway Navigator fails a piloting roll, roll again for the warp entity they are controlling to see if it can break free. Generally they have been so abused they have Willpower at Poor(3) so will need an Oustanding Success. If they do and are near a planet the Warp Entity will crash the ship, causing catastrophic damage that can and will obliterate continents. Something that your local superheroes will try and stop.

The Hway will create genetic hybrids using other race DNA. For instances warriors with +2CS in Physical abilities and -2CS in Mental abilities. Or shadow warriors similarly, at +1CS and -1CS. Other creations are certainly possible, such as bioorganic powered attack drones. The Hway themselves have specialists much as do humans. So field agent spies would have superior physical abilities, increased Awareness and lowered Reason for example.

The Hway approach will be to offer technological gifts to leaders and nations they believe can be turned into collaborators and slowly spread their influence and control from their.

Plot Hook

To give advance warning of intending insidious invidious invasionary inveigling, a Hway rebel hero has come to the home of the heroes. Possibly to prevent spaceship crashes. He’ll definitely be willing to make a deal and help all he can, especially if it involves knowledge of normal, Euclidean interstellar space travel.
