New Gods for an Old Town (PBtA)
 |
In a world where superpowers have been with us for generations¸ four heroes have risen to the top of the heap in London¸ acting as its unofficial guardians¸ but each of the four pursues their own ends through their own means. Being on the same side of the law doesn't always mean working together and when it comes to the crunch¸ whose vision for the city will prevail?
This is a preview and taster of Just Heroes (a superheroic hack of Apocalypse World)which is intended for use in one-off games & convention sessions. As MC¸ you can use this pack to create a player-lead narrative¸ where each PC will attempt to do things their own way¸ with or without the support of the others: sometimes they'll work together¸ but sometimes they'll be at odds with each other.
The pack contains the following five pdfs:
- New Gods for an Old Town: a brief version of the rules¸ containing all the Basic & Peripheral moves for Just Heroes¸ plus leading questions to ask the PCs and tips on weaving a story from their contributions.
- Dr. Dusk: A PC playbook for a tortured defender of the street¸ using stealth as his weapon.
- Lady Smoke: A PC playbook for an other-dimensional princess searching our world for her lost treasures but still living a life of privilege amongst us.
- Steel Spring: A PC playbook for an urban warrior whose super-suit gives her greatly enhanced speed & agility.
- The Snowdrop: A PC playbook for a fun-loving guy cursed with a cold heart¸ who uses his icy powers to freeze crime in it's tracks.
