Suffer The Children

Superhumans are new to the world and the world does not yet fully trust these self-proclaimed heroes. Governments, militaries, and the common man all fear these beings that can bend a bar of steel with their hands or read the minds of an entire city with just a thought. All the progress that heroes made to bridge this gap of trust was ruined when the Justice Lords arrived – super-powered dictators from another dimension that came and enslaved humanity. The heroes of our world rose up to defeat them, but not before humanity’s trust in superhumans was shattered. Now, a threat even greater than the Justice Lords is rising to power and the heroes have no idea how worse matters are about to become.

This three-Act Event will allow players to delve into their favorite superheroes from the DC Comics universe. Players will clash with villains and try to win over a populace that fears them. And when a young boy named Adam literally throws himself into the heroes’ arms, how will they react to him? Who is Adam? And why are these shadow monsters chasing him? As the heroes unravel the mystery of Adam, they will discover a threat greater than they have ever faced. Will they be able to make the hard choice to stop this threat from destroying everything?

Featuring 20 all-new, never before seen Hero datafiles of your favorite DC heroes from Aquaman to Zatanna, over 40Watcher datafilesof iconic villains from Atrocitus to Victor Zsasz, and a wealth of side missions, you and your table will be more than equipped to fully experience the full 130+ pages of Suffer the Children Event as well as stage your own Events in the narrow streets of Gotham City or amidst the glistening spires of Metropolis.

THE AVENGERS ARE DEAD!

Ever since the first mutant gene manifested, mutants have been regarded as outcasts and, at the worst, monsters, and have been shunned from society.

MINI-EVENTS

One- or Two-Act Mini-Events published by the bullpen at Plot Points.

Gun Smugglers

Forget galaxy-spanning wars and superhumans drawing political and ideological lines in the sand.  Sometimes, all you want to do is get the guns off the streets and out of the criminals’ hands.

Mini-Event Book

The Tape

Okay. This looks bad.

Someone has stolen a tape. (Yes, S.H.I.E.L.D. still uses VHS tapes, apparently.) And this isn’t just any run-of-the-mill outdated recording medium. It shows something that could bring down the Avengers, S.H.I.E.L.D., and maybe even the U.S. government. And now the President wants someone to get it back. Obviously.

Mini-Event: Secrets and Lies

The heroes are sitting around the Stark Enterprises penthouse in Osaka, Japan when a figure dressed in ninja clothes appears on the balcony, clothes shredded and bloodied. As the figure collapses to the ground, a female voice rasps, “Listen, we don’t have much time, I infiltrated the Yashida Fortress. Harada is there, along with Madame Hydra and the Hand. I’m sorry, I have failed you.” As Watcher, spend a die from the Doom Pool to ensure the ninjas attack first. The heroes are surprised by their attack, having expected to hear back from their agent and then seek out the Silver Samurai.

How Doctor Doom Stole Christmas

Doctor Victor von Doom, the on-and-off dictator of Latveria, hates Christmas. It gives people hope, encourages them to celebrate things that aren’t Doom himself, and takes attention away from the Latverian national holiday Doom-mas.

But one thing that intrigues Doom about the holiday is its mysterious symbol: Santa Claus. The man in the red and white suit, despite his bulging gut and annoying laugh, has somehow managed to unlock a secret of temporal control, allowing him to travel the entire world in a single night. And that’s not all! To Doom’s great mirth, Santa also seems to have an entire race of enslaved servitor elves to do his bidding! Just think of the Doom-bots that could be produced if Latveria controlled the North Pole factories!

Multiverses Collide: Sadistic

Two of the most iconic superheroes came together back in the 1990s and were pitted against their most terrifying foes. In the one-shot comic Spider-Man And Batman, those two legends squared off against Carnage and the Joker. The pages of that issue could barely contain the potential of such a meeting.

Mini-Event Post

MCU Breakout Mini-Event

For the Marvel Heroic RPG, the Mini-Event Breakout was our first ever foray into the game system, and launched our Heroic adventures thereafter.  The story of heroes rallying to stop a bunch of terrifying villains from being unleashed all at once upon the unsuspecting citizens of New York City from a hemorrhaging Raft super-prison was simple, straightforward, and allowed for plenty of action.

Well, the MCU has its own Raft supermax-prison for ultra-powered villains, and the very last moments of Captain America: Civil War give a glimpse of another jailbreak; only this time, its heroes freeing heroes instead of villains freeing villains.  If your players are looking to play in the MCU, this is a perfect jumping-in point; the Accords have created tremendous tension, there’s time between this Mini-Event and Avengers: Infinity War for your heroes to craft their own adventures, and during this Mini-Event your heroes get to play out an unseen-but-canon event in the MCU, and do it your way.

The Moon is a Lonely Place to Die

In the past few weeks, there has been an increase in activity at Cape Canaveral. Shuttle launches have begun in earnest to S.H.I.E.L.D.’s orbiting space station and to the moon under a total and absolute security blackout. What’s more, a permanent facility is being constructed right outside of the Blue Area of the moon, the portion of the lunar surfaces that possesses a terrestrial atmosphere and environment. The facility is being stocked with top-line cybernetics and military hardware, and a staff to match.
