New Product?

[Alric]

Anything new for Godsend d6 or d6 Powers in the works?

I would love to see a book of villains/NPCs.

[dcurpgfan]

I've heard rumors there may be something like that in the works. Gotta keep your fingers crossed, I suppose. :cool:

[Jerry D. Grayson]

There is indeed another GODSEND agenda book on the horizon called U.S.E.R.'s Most Wanted. The book will contain over 60 villains for use with GA plus new weapons and equipmnet used by U.S.E.R. to combat extranormal threats and a U.S.E.R. specific adventure. The book shoould be roughly 96 pages of super heroic goodness.

The primary writing is done and only small tidbits need finishing here and there. It should be done for a GenCon release (I hope).

[prophet118]

that might be nice..lol

any word on more information about Aether?.... some of the entries in the main book have me EXTREMELY curious about him

[Jerry D. Grayson]

Æther is a curious being indeed. I plan on including some of the characters from the core book but not just as filler. I want to make part of the book look like a dossier of threats U.S.E.R. is watching so there may be handouts listing the characters.

What do you find strange about Æther by the way? I’m curious to hear your opinion.

[prophet118]

well, more about his history, and his unknown exploits right around the birth of christ

[prophet118]

awww kicked to the curb left out to dry... :D

aka come on Jerry post me something!

[Jerry D. Grayson]

There was a lot of wackiness going on around the time of Christ. Æther was defiantly not of this world but came here to teach love and understanding. ;)
If Æther was the Christ I wonder what the Angelos thought about that….:eek:

[prophet118]

definately, guess that means that some upcoming book is 1.) going to cover some of that and 2.) going to tell us if we get anything to mask Ka, since according to the book Christ did manifested some ka like abilities, but showed up as a normal human

personally, im hoping that you really dont go with the "oh christ was an alien" thing, leaving it as God and Christ are a natural unexplained thing will actually do more good.... saying that all the gods of the worlds are just aliens, will tend to ruin much of the feel of the game for me

[Jerry D. Grayson]

I plan on leaving it up to the GM personally. There are so many stories and myths out there that it would do the game an injustice to explain and codify every bit of mythology out there. GMs are always far more creative than anything I come up with. The key is to walk a fine line and not be heavy handed.

Id love to do a future supplement that dealt only with the ancient world and what factions were doing back then. Maybe a gazetteer-like book that dealt with different regions during the age of heroes.

[prophet118]

ah, ok cool i can handle that!..lol

personally im not sure what to make of aether, but i'll think of something

[Jerry D. Grayson]

Id love to see what you would do with him and his band of misfits. There are quite a few characters in the core book that could use a generous amount of love and attention.

[prophet118]

hah, id love to fool around with some of the background material in GSA, ive got some ideas for Black October... mostly because im not totally satisfied with their current role/status in the game :D

[Jerry D. Grayson]

Really? What would you change?

[prophet118]

i posted some in that other thread you just made.

but one change might be to use them as more frontline supers... these people are born with it, not unlike mutants, however (in heroes unlimited terms) they are technically experiments, with the USER in power i can see the problems, however as yet we know that there dont seem to be enough BO to attack any sort of formiable USER compound with any success (partially because the BO"s are currently just young punks with no real sense of team, leadership or control)

but why do they have to be that way?... we know the BO's were genetically designed to spark their powers at a specific age (probably puberty) then burn out in their mid to late 20's... so it seems the atlanteans thought highly of having extremely angry, ill equiped shock troops, the whole point being that you can send them in, but if they die it wont matter, because they'll be constantly refreshed..

at this current time my current plans for the BO center around a mostly forgotten area (location is unimportant currently) this area has a high concentration of BO's (the book states that newly emerging BO's tend to disappear before the USER can find them)

this group functions as a barony unto themselves, they owe alleigance to themselves (and to the ones in charge), think of them in a similiar fashion to the Lost boys (either from the movie of the same title, or from the lost boys from Hook, depends on your viewpoint) the ideal here is central leadership that is accepted and passed from generation to generation..

you end up with a centrally located (though unknown) group of people with a central leadership.


but, this may just be a silly idea :P

Actually Black October are mutants technically--their genetic alteration was an alteration to humanity as a whole that occured so far back but was triggered more recently by events (Chimeran presence) this fits the Marvel Universe mutants with only real difference between Marvel and BO mutants being that the Magi of the Atlanteans had a control switch

Marvel mutants were created by the Celestials, increasing the mutation rate in mankind as an experiment if you recall.

Technically the fact that the powers appear without specific format or plan (as in not preplanned to expermental design, or purpose) makes them mutants/mutates.

If you want to split fictional hairs.

In HU experiments are processes used NOW to produce superhuman at the end of the process (or as an accident of) the experimental process.

that just depends on what you take as gospel, you cant claim that the atlanteans didnt experiment with the human race, mutations generally are outside the realm of someone tinkering with someones genes.

but again that just depends on what you take as gospel, personally i put no stock in anything marvel claims as a backstory.

I personally don't put much stock in Palladium myself as definer of things.

I didn't say that Atlanteans didn't experiment, only that the nature of experimentation from Atlantean's is that their changes are along the lines of increased chances of mutations not that it created specific powers/effects. This is in line with Marvel's take on mutants from the X-men lines and the Celestial experiments on humankind.

[prophet118]

course, i dont read comics, except dilbert, archie and garfield.. so..lol

[Jerry D. Grayson]

Since the early 90's Ive disliked the word mutant because of the X-MEN baggage it carries. Black October i guess coould be considered nutants but I prefer to call the geneticaly engineered.

[prophet118]

that feels about correct to me... since that wouldnt exclude those xmen people, and would include things like Max from Dark Angel
