Need a plot suggestion - evil campaign - Gramercy Island
Posted: Sat Jul 21, 2012 8:16 pm
I will be running a 2-3 month Heroes Unlimited campaign at a game store beginning next month. I'm really looking forward to it! (Players in the Boston/Cambridge area- get in touch if you want details!)
Anyways, rather than doing the typical "you're a good guy, now go save the day" scenario, I've decided that the players will be the villains in this campaign. It will begin with them breaking out of Gramercy Island (great source book, btw) then wreaking havoc one way or another in neighboring Century Station.
Okay it sounds fine (right?) but it could quickly spin out of control. I was thinking a good way to avoid that is that the players will be members of an evil league of some sort; there's a leadership chain that they report to. This way they are kept in line and can't just do "whatever they want". Not without consequences anyway.
In the meantime, after their escape, they'll be pursued by S.C.R.E.T. or something like that. I'm still working out the details.
My question to you folks... have any of you ever run an "evil" Heroes Unlimited campaign? Do you have any thoughts or suggestions? Or warnings?
Thanks!
