Blackmoor Vituperative

Susan and I will be attending SheVaCon 2005 in Roanoke, VA, 2005-02-25 through 2005-02-27. Come look for us. In the evenings, we’ll probably be at the Nth Degree party. On Saturday, I’ll be running a couple of Champions (Hero System) games:

The Testament Of Dr. Destroyer (a game in two parts)

Part 1:
“When mankind becomes ruled by terror, then is the hour for the mastery of crime.” –Dr. Destroyer

Unknown to the rest of the world, the criminal mastermind known as Dr. Destroyer has been locked in an asylum for the past 10 years, straddling the line between life and death. One of his last projects involves a mysterious manifesto that sets in place a crime-filled future. When a doctor from the asylum tells the heroes that these exact crimes are coming true, he is mysteriously assassinated. It is up to the heroes to put together the pieces of this mind-bending case.

Characters will be “standard superheroes”, per the H5 or H5R rules. Characters will be provided.

Part 2:
“Only when the world of Man is wiped clean may the world of the Destroyer be created.” –Dr. Destroyer

Unknown to the rest of the world, the criminal mastermind known as Dr. Destroyer has been locked in an asylum for the past 10 years, straddling the line between life and death. And yet, the heroes have tracked a string of bizarre robberies to a source claiming to be the Destroyer himself! Will the heroes solve this bizarre puzzle and foil the plot of the would-be Destroyer before it is unleashed on an unsuspecting world?

Characters will be “standard superheroes”, per the standard H5 or H5R rules. Characters will be provided. Characters submitted to bblackmoor@blackgate.net at least 14 days prior to the convention will also be considered.

Number of players: 4-6

Time Slots:

Saturday 10:00 (10AM): The Testament Of Dr. Destroyer, Part 1
Saturday 14:00 (2PM): The Testament Of Dr. Destroyer, Part 2

Yes, this is the same game I ran at MarsCon. It went really well the first time, so I figured I’d try it again. If it goes well again, I may write it up for Nth Degree (although I have a ton other things I am supposed to have written for Nth Degree, and have not yet done so… so little time, so many pet projects).

You won’t be able to find these in the online schedule, by the way. The SheVaCon web site could be run a bit better, honestly. I have offered to help. You can tell a lot about someone by how they respond to an offer of assistance.
