Superworld Campaign 16 – Pursuit from Down Under

by  • 

The mayor of Charlotte wants to present Arclight and the Outliers (Arclight and Friends?) with medals for their service to the city. But the ceremony proves to be a trap. Can the help of a brand-new superhero save the group, or will Arclight have to kill someone?

I started running a Superworld campaign for students at Appalachian State University in September 2014. The game was set in Charlotte, N.C., starting in the fall of 2014. It was a continuation of the stand-alone game of Superworld I ran in August, though taking place in the present instead of the 1980s, a kind of continuation of that game. This 16th session of the game took place on Jan. 17, 2016, with the original scenario “Pursuit from Down Under.” My players were Kyle, Hannah, Aaron, and Joey.

The role playing journals for the session are here:
