Smiley Well that's good to know.. Thunderbolt had just succeeded in smashing two of the Powered Armors together and I've dying to know how much damage he inflicted! [2d8+1d6+1... ouch!] lol!

I really do not think Dom needs to share his dice rolls with us, less numbers more role-play. For instance the C.O.R.E. event happens in Las Vegas not Arizona.

If game starts back up, as planned, the fight will be continuing.

Thanks, I will keep this in mind as I write Rollins Journal entries. Smiley

Once things get rolling, the fight will be wrapping up pretty rapidly, and you'll lbe finding out exactly who, or what, is inside the "robots". As far as dice rolls go, I use a dice rolling site, as it's just easier.

Cool! BTW, have you checked out TavernKeeper as a away to manage the game?

https://www.tavern-keeper.com

I'm using it for a Star Wars game and it works pretty well. Characters can  be customized and it is easy to add wiki pages and character converstaions. It's in beta right now, but they're responsive to suggestions and bug fixes.

It's Saga Edition, which I absolutely love and was so sad when they didn't go that route for 4th Edition.

You know I never played d6, so I don't have any nostalgia for it like many people do (not that that's a bad thing mind you!)

Yeah, I'm familiar with the Saga [Have ALL the books for Saga], D6 by West End Games [all the Important books... some not so important..lol] even D20 [All the books printed for this version].. all were ok.  I liked the simplicity of West End Games D6 Starwars.. but the detail of the D20..  and the streamlining of Saga.  Unfortunately never have had the chance to play the Saga system. Sad

No idea about the new Star Wars Rise of the Empire... system... uses non-standard dice which for me is a turn off honestly.

Even though I've been a HUMOUNGOUS Star Wars fan since '77, and first discovered RPGs back in '79, I still never jumped on WEG's game "back in the day".  I think some of the art was goofy-looking and just turned me off.

I only discovered it much, much later (late 90's, early 2000's?) and now love it.

I've bought lots of the D20 books, but only to use them with D6.

My friend loves the SAGA edition and runs his kids through it; I think he's going to do a game at GuardianCon this year to show the rest of us.

He also bought Edge of the Empire and it does look beautiful.  I love D6 enough now (and have bought so much for it and have so many players invested in a campaign) that I'm not likely to jump over to it; at least not until I'm independently wealthy and have more time. Wink

GENOM and Hillcrest Announce Research Partnership

Dr. Simon Poe, Director of Hillcrest Treatment Center, has announced their partnership with the pharmaceutical giant, GENOM. According to Dr. Poe, GENOM will provide funding for a number of research projects currently underway at the facility, including research into a number of new psychotropic drugs.  Dr. Poe went on to state that he hopes this partnership will be the beginning of what could be a number of such alliances between business entities and members of the treatment field.

Oh ho!  So Now GENOM wants manufactured meta-humans with the field tested "Boost" drug that are brainwashed with 'psychotropic' drug treatments to sell metahuman powered weapons on the world Blackmarket!

Your GOING DOWN GENOM! You and all your criminal clients!

Now now, you're assuming the worst. I'm sure that any, and all, research being conducted at the facility is on the up and up, and will result in sort of major breakthrough in the use of psychotropic drugs for the treatment of a number psychiatric disorders. And of course GENOM will be there to make a buck off of it if it happens. If a few supervillains are created in the process, that's the nature of the business.

Secret Military Aircraft Makes Maiden Flight

Last night NASA is believed to have launched the first of DARPA and ADEPT's X-49 aircraft into low orbit. The craft's design and test flight  were a tightly held secret, known to only a few select individuals involved in the program. But sources who have asked to remain anonymous, as they're not authorized to speak on the program, have reveled that the aircraft is a state-of-the-art fight aircraft capable of operating outside of Earth's atmosphere. What purpose the military could have for such an aircraft has yet to be revealed to the public.

Booster overdoses on the rise

Local hospitals have reported that the past few weeks have seen an alarming number of overdoses, namely among young teens, from the designer drug Boost. Local law enforcement officials, speaking on a the of anonymity, have stated that they're looking into a number of possible leads, including cooperating with federal authorities from a number of agencies.

Health officials are once again cautioning the public and warning them of the dangers of using the drug, in an effort to stem the drug's use before it becomes an epidemic.

Guards Killed by Mysterious Attacker

German authorities report that two security guards were killed, and a third wounded, by a mysterious attacker in Berlin yesterday. While details are scarce at this time, the surviving guard stated that his attacker just kept uttering one phrase during the attack, "Wo ist der Ring?, or Where is the ring? he could only describe his attacker as a large man, with pale white skin and short cropped long hair dressed in what appeared to be Nazi regalia.

Oh Gods... Thunderbolt's worse fears about GENOM'S shadow productions of 'Boost' are coming true... 

Maybe its time he started attacking them directly rather than their criminal underworld distributors? 

But... perhaps that is what they want?  As it seems Thunderbolt/Shawn {and though they don't know about her, Sarah, his sister} are thus far~ the only permanently empowered 'Boost' test-subjects?  Maybe the increase in cases is meant to flush him out to get him to attack them directly?  He pretty much told Anvil... and by that his employer, Mafia Boss Leonetti, who seems to be the apparent street distributor for GENOME's secret illegal mata-human drug 'Boost'.  They may indeed be looking to 'reacquire' this particular test subject...

Very Dark Dom.  Great drama! Smiley

Boosters Run Wild

Law enforcement officials aren't providing much information on last night's violence. All they're saying is that the 6 hour rampage, by over two dozen Boost enhanced young people, was sparked by what authorities are describing as a so called "Booster Party" gone bad. It took heavy armed members of ECPD's Major Crimes unit several hours to contain the crowd and regain control. While the damage is still being tallied, totals are believed to be in the millions.

The Mayor's office issued a statement, stating that "Hooliganism will not be tolerated. The good citizens of Empire City, can be assured that  the perpetrators of last nights violence will be punished to the fullest extent of the law."

well guys I want to come back. from reading what you have been doing here I have put together a new character and will post his background/history here. I have made him a teen who  was in the wrong place at the wrong time. One of these Boost parties. So his powers are like way new to him as in maybe a week! Since he has lived most of his life in Empire City he is looking for the heroes help. Also running from some men who seem to know more about his powers than he does. Will post them in Character section as well as bare bones stat sheet. I hope Dom will approve and fill in the blanks on sheet. I'll jump into the story and go until told otherwise

All the news they see fit not to print.

One of our astute readers was able to snag what is purportedly a photo of the "suspect" in a string of recent unsolved murders in Empire City. While a murder in Empire city isn't all that unusual, what is, is how tight lipped ECPD has been about them. Other than releasing the names of the victims, we've got nada. No cause of death, whether they're any possible suspects, or any other information you would expect to see. That is until now. And from the look of this photo, we can see why they haven't been very forthcoming.



ECPD has yet to return any of our phone calls or email messages concerning the origins of the photo.

Vigilante Strikes Again

The Empire City Police Department is reporting that two men were killed last night, in what they're labeling as an act of "vigilante justice" buy the man calling himself the Jaguar. From reports taken at the scene, the two men were reportedly involved in an attempted armed robbery when the Jaguar appeared on the scene. The, robbery victim, who wishes to remain anonymous, stated that the Jaguar "saved his life", and without his intervention, "who knows what would have happened". ECPD is looking for any information on the possible whereabouts of the Jaguar, and asks that citizens contact their tip line.
