It has been two years since the Infestation. No one knows
exactly when or why it happened, but everyone knows when it was first noticed. Swiss
Shop Bolveri orchestrated the first bion heist with a few of his top goons. The
police were overwhelmed by their armored skin and firepower. Countless
sightings of people with enhanced abilities or unusual prosthetics showed up
after that.
Boston was temporarily quarantined and private militias
were established to keep the peace. The problem was traced to non-biological
microbes (NBMs) found in their bodies. Later surveys revealed that everyone in
the Greater Boston Area was infected. The NBMs were improperly dubbed “nanites”
by the press. They also coined the term “bions” to describe people with active NBMs.
There are a select few decide to become something more
and stand up against the wrongs of both the private militias and bions that
abuse their powers. I hope you will be one of those few.
If that gets you excited, I am looking for two more
players. This is a custom low-powered modern superhero setting using the Hero
System, Sixth Edition. We’ll be playing on Saturday from 4 pm to 10 pm, EST,
but we can run until midnight if everyone’s up for it.
The game will be more focused on the interactions between
the PCs and their environment. Combat is not the only answer and occasionally
the worst answer to many of the conflicts. But it is always a viable option for
the PCs to choose. In general, I recommend that players have a couple good
tricks in their toolset. I have developed a few character templates to cover
the ones I feel are most important.
The only restrictions I have for players are that you
need to be willing to learn the Hero System, your character needs to fit within
the context of the setting material, and the characters need to want to work together.
This means that they will all start leaning toward the ideals of heroism, but
the tone is welcome to shift as things go on.
A quick scan through Champions Complete is required and I
recommend skimming the 6E Equipment Guide and Martial Arts. All the information can be found here .
