What Are you Playing 2: Electric Boogaloo

[Mr_Pleasington]

Kicked off my Necessary Evil game on Superbowl Sunday.

For those unfamiliar (and you all shouldn't be, I wrote a review here), NE is the supers setting for Savage Worlds where aliens invaded and killed all the superheroes, leaving only the supervillains to save the planet.

My players are:

The Warlord: A genetically engineered man birthed from the DNA of Ghengis and Kubla Khan.  He has Gengis's axe and armor and is a brute in close combat.  He also took the "Gloater" hindrance so he has to open every combat telling his foes how they will meet their doom.  Fun.

Baron Iceblock:  Think Iceman if Iceman had been born in Siberia.  Looking to raise a new empire.

The Progenitor: A scientist that can invent just about anything and also has a dabbling of mind powers.  Fear his ray gun!

Good times!

I thought at the time that Necessary Evil sounded like an awesome idea for a campaign, so I'm very excited to hear how your game goes.

[Mr_Pleasington]

So far, so good.  Everyone is very excited.  The one thing that might bum them out in the long run is the episodic nature of things, but I think it is appropriate given the subject material.

Just dont run a straight plot point game and it will seem less episodic...

[Mr_Pleasington]

Nope, I was planning on running the first 2 plot points and then working on some Savage Tales until they hit Seasoned or so.
