Wulfe Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 I am curious to see your take on the idea. It is similar to what I did in my Champions campaign I created in 1981. Though there were differences. The heroes did not know that the menace was "what man was not meant to know" till fairly well along and the theme tied into my Fantasy Hero and Justice Inc. / Pulp Hero campaigns. Let me know by PM if you want any info about the campaign to see if you can mine it for anything you can use. Most of the notes are gone, but I remember the highlights so I could give you a broad overview of what I put together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's just say that there are a few layesr to things and there is an irony inherent in what the heroes do, but not necessarily in the way many or most would assume. :thumb: I hope your curiosity will be satisfied in a good way when it (finally) is finished. :thumb: Quote Very slowly working towards completing my monograph.

Atgxtg Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 A lot of truth in this. I expect to break even on my costs (after soiurcing some - cheap - art ), so it is a labour of love, certainly. You might want to check with Rosen and see if you would be better off submitted it to Alephtar Games. I believe with them you will at least get a share of the profits (if any). You would need to check with Rosen to get the deails though. Of course, no matter what direction you go in, there isn't a lot of money in the RPG field.

Of course, no matter what direction you go in, there isn't a lot of money in the RPG field. Thanks for the thoughts and suggestions. I think for this first attempt I'll still probably head the monograph route. Alephtar have quite a few very interesting sounding books on their schedule already, so I guess they are committed to their existing plans. Plus superhero games/supplements are more often than not a very niche product (the relative successes of HERO/Champions and M&M aside), so I guess it may not be the most obvious product to look at commercially at this stage for Alephtar. That said, I may have another idea along super lines in the future. Edited September 17, 2009 by leonmallett Quote Very slowly working towards completing my monograph.

Sorry, with a few things going on (I get married next week; I had a close family bereavment in November; and the board changeover has really thrown me), I missed your post. I have been updating Dustin and Charlie every couple of months or so. Writing ground to ahalt around a couple of life events above (and others not mentioned). I had hoped for submission Summer 2009, but that came and went obviously. The remaining chapters to finish off are: - GM's information/adevnture seeds (about half to three quarters written) - characters (about half done) - villainous organisations (outlined, needs a serious attack on the writing) I hope to resume in the next few weeks after my honeymoon. Thanks for checking in. Leon. Edited March 4, 2010 by leonmallett Quote Very slowly working towards completing my monograph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pulpcitizen Posted October 3, 2010 Author Share Posted October 3, 2010 It looks like the insidious supervillain Dr Vapourware has exiled this project to Limbo! If by vapourware, you mean 70-80% completed manuscript, some completed art (see my avatar for one of the key NPC's featuring work by one of our board members), then yes it is vaporware... I'll PM the full run-down of wher it is at and why. Leon. Quote Very slowly working towards completing my monograph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrippyHippy Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 Any more news on this? I'm curious as I was thinking of upping the power levels in a Call of Cthulhu game the other day to create a supers setting very much of the tone of the Watchmen comic. Is this the sort of thing you are reaching for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eletarmion Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 Good to hear about this project! As you may have seen in an earlier post of mine, I just started working on creating a new supers system for BRP - not as any sort of official project, but just as an exercise in RPG design for my own homegrown game. Perhaps your approach will make this unnecessary for me! Do you alter the rules presented in BRP much, or do you simply expand on what BRP presents us with? I love the basics of BRP, but am of the opinion that some things need to be significantly tweaked to handle the genre well. Whatever the case, I look forward to seeing your take when it hits the virtual shelves! Best, Eletarmion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
