supplement idea

Post by capmarvel »

An idea for a supplement that I've had for some time:

Sidekicks, Incorporated

As the name suggests, this is a corporation that hires out Mystery Men/Street Level less experienced "heroes" to be the "junior partners" of more experienced/more powerful heroes.

Obviously most of the book would just be an assortment of this level of characters. These guys/gals have potential, but not quite enough experience to be in the big leagues (and some are total goofs that will never be in anything but the minor leagues).

This idea may never see the light of day, but I hope to work on it when the real world permits.

The basic builds for these "Types" are for the World-Class level.
Too bad this isn't out all ready; I'm running Plague of Darkness again on the 8th, and wouldn't have minded switching out some of the pre-gens for one or more of these

Awe man! Had I known I would have switched the publishing schedule so that you would have had these. I am planning to release this one just before Thanksgiving so i have none of the art ready. If it was ready I would have totally put out this next week.

In any case, TYPE Casting: Mind Force should hit today or tomorrow and then Street Tough is scheduled to hit two weeks after that.

Regards,

P.S. I originally wanted to produce, Night of the Scorpion, a three part adventure for BASH UE before Christmas but I don't know if I am going to make it as there is another project that I might have to work on first. That being the case I wonder if folks are clambering for an adventure like that? If there is enough interest I might just go ahead and keep the schedule the same.

I didn't even think about it until this morning. I thought it might be interesting to switch out the ION Guard character I had for one of the Starguard. It's no big deal, just thinking of options. Maybe if I ever get the * thing written, I can suggest Starguard for possible character types?

Sounds good

Not knowing anything about it, I'm not sure what to say. I know that the adventures Adamant has done for ICONS has gone fairly well. I'm hoping to release Plague of Darkness as more of a Plot Point style mini-campaign, as I suck at writing out detailed adventures. However, with a dearth of Cosmic style adventures, it seems like something people might like (though I could be wrong)
