Two of the players have rolled up some ICONS heroes, Automaton, the Mechanical Marvel! A wonder of wires, vacuum tubes, and pneumatics! and Lord Genovasis the father of Meta-humans! The character creation process is great in ICONS and these first two PCs really show that off. We should have a pretty full house on Monday with at least three more PCs and we'll start with chargen for the rest of the players.
The general setting for the beginning of this campaign takes place in Shore City in 1942. Shore City is the campaign city created by John Stater found within his Mystery Men! rules. He did a great job setting up that sandbox, fleshing it out with all manner of locations, plot hooks and characters.
To go along with the campaign I created The Shore City Chronicle, a newspaper formatted blog for the rotating GMs to add plot hooks, red herrings, and general campaign color. You can check it out here.
There's an audio file I made to add atmosphere and kick off the campaign as well. You'll find it in one of the columns of the newspaper or at the bottom of this post.
I'll have more next week about our session, characters, villains and thoughts about the play of the game.
Very cool. Love it. Let me know how the campaign goes.
ReplyDeleteI really like the Shore City Chronicle blog idea for sharing campaign info between the GMs and players (and the newspaper header logo is very nicely done!) . I'm stealing that idea and filing it away for future use.
ReplyDeleteSteal away! Blogger is great for something like that.
