Superworld Campaign 4 – Wane’s Revenge

by  • 

While trying to figure out how to beat the Gentleman, the heroes of Charlotte receive a message that claims it could save lives. They begin to investigate and find that another villain wants revenge on one of their own.

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 fourth session of the game took place on October 26, 2014, with the original scenario “Wane’s Revenge.” My players were Logan, Bo, Briant, Aaron, Nissa, and James Dixon.

After Mary-Jane Holland hits a man with her car on a rainy night in Providence, she learns that he was fleeing from a ghost. Intrigued, she sets about to investigate his haunted house.

I started running a Call of Cthulhu campaign for students at Appalachian State University in March 2014. The game was set in Providence, R.I., starting in the summer of 1925. The tenth session of the game took place on October 5, 2014, with the original scenario “The Haunted Place” as I only had one player that day. It was Caitlin.

by  • 

Several super heroes found themselves in Charlotte in the fall of 2014, though there have not be resident superheroes in the city for 20 years. When a bank is robbed by an unknown super-villain, can these disparate heroes work together to stop it?

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 second session of the game (first for these characters) took place on September 14, 2014, with the original scenario “The Bank Job.” My players were Briant, Aaron, Kyle, Logan, Bo, John, Tabitha, Caitlin, James Brown, and James Dixon.
