MURDER FAMILY (The Monsters Are Our Heroes NPC Villains)

Continuing to produce monster/NPC threats for "The Monsters Are Our Heroes" rpg by Bloat Games based on the creatures form the 2011 film: The Cabin in the Woods.

In this article, we have the Murder Family (aka "The Dolls").



The Murder family is a collection of four human-appearing beings wearing fashionable, all-black clothing and blank, white doll masks. They are typically each armed with a knife, but are willing to use any weapons the environment provides to them to accomplish their grisly murders. When asked why they kill, their normal response is “Because you were home.” Otherwise, they tend to remain eerily silent.

Decepticon HISS Drone (Transformers Essence20 rpg)

Image
Imagine if you will a combined Transformers / GIJoe setting where the Decepticons have infiltrated the ranks of Cobra using their Pretender agents. Eventually, Cobra learns of a powerful device being held in secret by GIJoe forces within a hidden facility under the Hoover Dam. A Cobra Strike Team infiltrates the Hoover Dam, taking down one Greenshirt after another in as they dive deeper into the facility, only to come to the center vault which contains... The AllSpark! Suddenly one of the Cobra agents -- secretly a Decepticon Pretender -- guns down her fellow Cobra Vipers and immediately calls in to Soundwave, seeking an extraction team on her position: "For the glory of Megatron, the AllSpark has been found!" Knowing full well the importance of the mission's success, Soundwave immediately dispatches the elite Seeker trio of Seekers: Starscream, Skywarp, and Thundercracker, alongside the Combaticons to serve as Special Forces back-up; all of whom arrive within minutes.

Fastball Special (Mutants & Masterminds 3rd edition)

Image
In Marvel Comics, there are few combat maneuvers as noteworthy as The Fastball Special . This is a combo-maneuver that requires the use of two teammates skilled in working alongside each other. One of the teammates (the "pitcher") must have superhuman strength, while the second (the "ball") requires some form of exceptional melee attack and not a small amount of damage resistance.  The Fastball Special was originated by the X-Men Colossus and Wolverine, and featured Colossus using his super-strength to pick up Wolverine and throw him deep into the ranks of the villains or high up towards flying enemies. Once thrown, Wolverine, stretches himself out to be as aerodynamic as possible, and extends his claws so they are what the enemies first encounter as he slams into a foe. Wolverine's claws, combined with the momentum of Colossus' superhuman strength resulted in numerous destroyed Sentinel robots. Thankfully, Wolverine survives being thrown like this, due to h...

Worlds Collide After Action Report (MiracleCon 2024)

Image
Recently, I was asked by a former co-worker -- also a popular gamer and GM in the local area -- if I would be interested in being a GM for the World's Collide mega adventure produced by Renegade Games Studios for the Essence20 rpg. This adventure crosses over the GIJoe, Power Rangers, and Transformers sessions, all of which use the same game system, so they work relatively seamless with each other. This article WILL contain SPOILERS for the Worlds Collide Adventure, so if you want to play and be surprised by this game, do not read any further. You can purchase the adventure from the Renegade Games Studios store here . For background set up... Lord Zedd, Doctor Mindbender, and Shockwave were all working on teleportation technology at the same time, creating an interdimensional incident that merge them into one being: Lord MindwaveZ . This also started drawing all of the multiverses together into one amalgamated chaos region. While this happens, Joe, Rangers, and Autobots are drawn i...
