My players have expressed an interest in super hero teams in other cities. Of course my campaign is currently based in Portland Oregon, what about some of your teams? I think it would make a cool addition to the wiki if we listed team rosters for various cities around the world. Perhaps we could come up with a crossover event for a con even? I could see bribing some of my players into attending the next GuardianCon in Seattle. Maybe we could also get some Seattle (or other city) players to attend Gamestorm down in Portland?

Any or all of the above sounds good to me, this will help flesh out the world for my players and if anyone needs a supers team that happens to reside in Portland feel free to use my campaign as a starting point.

OK, while these aren't teams, I figure someone can make use of them. They're really just rough outlines for characters, and GMs can feel free to customize them to fit their particular campaign.

Here's good, the stuff you have up so far is great! I do believe Ranger would be very busy in the Estacada region of Oregon lol! I rather like the idea of he and Seahawk being the basis of a Seattle group though.

My current Champions game has regional teams, I can post info here but they would have to be converted to V&V

The player's are in Chicago

It's interesting, but I just recently came across (and updated) the list of vigilante/hero teams in the Guardians campaign.

I think it would be really cool to incorporate the heroes from Drosta's (or others') campaigns.

I'll copy and paste my list here tonight.  Right now we have teams in:

Maine
Philadelphia
New York City
Manitoba
Indianapolis
Washington, D.C.
Los Angeles
New Orleans

Though some of those aren't really "hero teams" (the one in New Orleans is a detective agency and the one in Maine is a group of aliens that help Earth).  And the above doesn't reflect our many heroes allied with C.H.E.S.S. or the unaffiliated vigilantes that work alone.

Don't Forget GForce (Beta universe GForce, took up the mantle after Alpha died and came back as Neutron...)

Darkstar wrote on Jul 18^th, 2010 at 9:44am:


Good call!  Looks like I forgot him.  Is he a C.H.E.S.S. agent now?

After a post of yours, Majestic, I was thinking of changing the name of the map to the V&V Legion. Was something you posted on the MHG forum and totally unrelated to this lol.

Here's a few non-US heroes and villains I've come up with.

I've got a few others I can't come up with names for. There's a female Kenyan superspeedster, and an scientist from India, with a helmet and armor that grants him various animal abilities, like Flight, Heightened Strength, Heightened Senses, Heightened Speed.

I have asked this over on the MHG Forum, do we want to mark teams that are no longer functioning with a different colored marker? Do we even want to place them on the map? The default color for a new marker is blue but light blue, red, green, yellow, purple, and pink are also available choices. As well as with a dot in the ecenter of the marker, a pushpin instead of a ballon, etc. You can also add icon's to the map of your own design.

By the way I think I am up to date now on all the heroes you have listed that have a specific locale.

Map can be seen at V&V Legion.

Here's a quick snapshot of how the map is shaping up.



The map can be viewed as a satellite image as well.

dsumner wrote on Jul 19^th, 2010 at 3:21pm:

Fixed!

Oh I should mention I placed the marker for North Guard right on Parliament Hill.

dsumner wrote on Jul 19^th, 2010 at 4:17pm:



Definitely.

Everyone needs more villains.

I plan to open a thread with some of our characters too, for those who are interested.

Duroon wrote on Jul 19^th, 2010 at 5:00pm:


I'd suggest a separate map, to keep it from getting to cluttered. Say either green for active and red for the inactive/deceased villains.

Duroon wrote on Jul 19^th, 2010 at 5:24pm:



I'm having the guy who did the counters for our teams do some pix.  I'll see if we can get a few team shots.  (Mystics and Sentries will be first)

Sounds good to me.

I have updated your teams to reflect all of that Gigglestick.

I have gotten started on the villain map, the only villains in the US so far are  the ones from my campaign. The rest are spread out across the globe.

Thanks Dom, just glad to be able to contribute something that, I hope, other fans of the game can use in their games!

Duroon wrote on Jul 18^th, 2010 at 7:02pm:


Works for me (and I like it!).   

Whoops wrong link on the villain map above, the correct link should be http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=en&t=h&msa=0&msid=11760667044754256357...

A couple of locations that aren’t really villains or heroes.

Kaiju Island

A small unpopulated island off the eastern coast of Japan. The island was the site of a secret underground nuclear test, conducted by the US, in the early 1950’s. The island is now populated by what can only be described as giant monsters. While the Japanese Self Defense Force, maintains a tight quarantine around the island, there have been several escapes, with he beasts occasionally making their way to the Japanese mainland.

Greenland

Greenland houses a secret installation for the alien Vax Imperium. They’ve been secretly monitoring Earth since the late 1940’s, when one of their probe ships, accidentally crashed in New Mexico (the incident was covered up by the US Government, to prevent widespread panic).

Tibet

Located somewhere deep within the Himalayas, shrouded in thick mountain mists, lies an ancient Buddhist temple. The temple, guarded for centuries by it's monks, serves as a gateway to the legendary Shangri-la. 

And even more nasties for your PCs to deal with.

EUROPE

AUSTRIA

Stahlfalke - An armored Austrian villain with a taste for cash and jewels. Armor B, Flight, Heightened Agility Device, Heightened Defense Device, Natural Weaponry Device and several weapons systems.

IRELAND

Haggerty - An Irish villain form Dublin, with the ability to walk through walls. Non-Corporealness, Willpower A.

ROMANIA

The Hunger - An artificially created vampire.

UK

Crackpot - An insane serial killer.

Chaos - A UK based villain group.

ASIA

HONG KONG

The Golden Dragon's Triad - A criminal organization operating in Hong Kong, and the "China Town" areas of San Francisco, CA; Portland, OR; Chicago, IL; most recently, New York City. They're into drugs, gambling, prostitution, human smuggling, and extortion.

JAPAN

The Four Winds Ninja Clan - An ancient Japanese ninja clan, operating in mainland Japan.

Thanks, I'll post the heroes tonight.

Duroon wrote on Jul 22^nd, 2010 at 6:18pm:


I've got some info on one of their assassins, White Lotus. She's a Chinese American female with the following powers.

Natural Weaponry: +3, +6
Heightened Defense: -4 to be hit
Heightened Agility: +9 (23 total)
Poison/Venom Device (See Below)
Weakness Detection
Willpower (A)

She carries a wide variety of weapons, and equipment.

Spiked gloves and footwear allow her to scale vertical surfaces at 1/2 her normal movement rate.
Sword
Throwing Blades
Flash Pellets
Smoke Pellets
Chocking Gas Pellets
Caltrops
Bo Staff, that also doubles as a blow gun, or can be used a blow various powders.

The darts she uses attack as HTH (+4 to hit from training) and affect the target as though they were hit with a Paralysis Ray Attack. The powders she uses vary, and are mission dependent.

She's made hits for the Dragons in Hong Kong, and San Francisco.

The villains map seems a bit sparse around the US, seems a bit odd lol!

Sounds like it's time for them to fight it out, in a super villain death match!

And now two Heat Strokes! One in Seattle, WA and one in Boulder, CO.

Both Villain and Hero maps are up to date with what has been posted. I am leaving for GenCon tomorrow so I don't expect to be able to make any more updates until next week sometime when I ave recovered from the trip. See you all on the flip side!

Crusaders
Indianapolis, IN
Manta-Man
Evergreen
Enforcer
Dreamweaver
Blizzard
Laserfire

I think one of the little hooks that got me into V&V for the second time, almost 20+ years ago was the Crusaders being located an hour west of my hometown. We played the scenario out with our characters and stayed around Indy for a while before moving to the big time and relocated to Chicago
