Today my gaming group began a new role-playing campaign, using the Mutants and Masterminds game system.<\/p>\n

We spent a couple of hours creating characters, with me doing it hesitantly, since I was running the campaign.<\/p>\n

I decided to make a ‘Crime Fighter’ type, since I wanted to make a Shadow\/Crimson Avenger\/Green Hornet type. \u00a0That isn’t what I ended up with.<\/p>\n

The following is a result of the die rolls generated as I used the quick-start character creation system:<\/p>\n

Dark Avenger: Your life changed in a single, horrifying moment. \u00a0Since then you’ve trained your body and mind to become an instrument of vengeance.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I need to come up with what that traumatic event was.<\/p>\n

Incredible Presence: You are physically impressive or otherwise intimidating. \u00a0You are also a natural leader.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Okay.<\/p>\n

Sleuth: You’re a student of observation.<\/p>\n

Scientist: You are a trained scientist and capable of inventing gadgets of your own.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Cool.<\/p>\n

Acrobat: You’re a trained acrobat, capable of incredible feats of agility.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

By this time I figured that I was going to have a Batman-esque hero. \u00a0Or maybe Blue Beetle II\/Nite Owl.<\/p>\n

Avenger: You’ve trained yourself in a number of useful skills.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The advantages given here totally makes this guy like Batman (Streetwise, Intimidation, Vehicles).<\/p>\n

Investigator: You’ve studied investigation and other forms of observation.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Next, this character ended up with Gadgetry, granting him a Headquarters, and a further roll granted a Combat Suit.<\/p>\n

I figured that this would be an animal based hero, and that animal would be…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

ENTER… THE KOALA<\/p>\n

I made him about the same size as me (5’6″, 160 lbs) and spoke with a raspy Christian Bale voice as we played.<\/p>\n

We decided that the super team would use this character’s HQ as their base, the Koala Den, located around Yerba Buena Gardens in the South of Market area of San Francisco.<\/p>\n

We haven’t come up with a super group name yet. \u00a0And I may do a little fudging and grant everyone some equipment, like Koala-rangs for my character.<\/p>\n

Fun times ahead.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
