THE SCORPION KING ("The Monsters Are Our Heroes" Villain)

This material uses game statistics from "The Monsters Are our Heroes" rpg by Bloat games.

Based on characters from "The Mummy Returns" film, directed by Stephen Sommers.

In 3067 BC, the Scorpion King is defeated and exiled to the Desert of Ahm Shere. Dying, the Scorpion King makes a pact to give Anubis his soul in return for the power to defeat his enemies. Anubis accepts, magically conjuring an oasis and golden pyramid, and giving the Scorpion King an army of jackal-like warriors to conquer Egypt.

Once the Scorpion King is established as the first Pharaoh of Egypt in 3060 BC, Anubis claims his soul and the army is returned to the Underworld.

Five thousand years later, in the year 1933, a cult attempted to bring about the defeat of the Scorpion King by resurrecting the mummy priest Imhotep and using the powers of the undead to destroy the Scorpion King and claim the Army of Anubis for themselves. Their efforts were overcome by the O'Connell Family and their allies, when Rick O'Connell used the Spear of Osiris to destroy the Scorpion King and banish his army.

The great thing about having one's own campaign is that you can have events play out differently, or re-use villains how you see fit. Given that the Scorpion King is the unholy champion of Anubis, that that Anubis is the Egyptian God of the Dead, it is possible for the Scorpion King to be resurrected in service of his dark god at any time! As such, the Scorpion King can return to plague our monstrous heroes... especially if one of your players is running a Mummy PC!

Transformers One Sourcebook!

Image
Renegade Games Studios just announced the preorder release of the Transformers One rpg sourcebook . https://renegadegamestudios.com/transformers-roleplaying-game-transformers-one-sourcebook I finally get to discuss this project, as I have been under an NDA for the last several months.  Only a week after I originally saw the film, I was contacted by Ben Heisler from Renegade Games Studios asking about my interest in doing some freelance writing for the TF rpg. I could not say "yes" fast enough. Transformers has always been my bag, since I discovered them. I was the perfect age and the absolute target demographic when they were released  in 1984. I was 7 years old and looking for a toy series to follow, as I was forbidden from following my original interest: Masters of the Universe. I had religiously-strict parents, the Satanic panic of the 80s was in full sing, and MOTU had magical and supernatural themes to it, making the show a "no-no" in terms of my being allowed ...

RANGE VIPER THREAT (GIJoe Essence20 rpg)

Image
I've been thinking about a scenario that involves the use of Ranger Vipers from GIJoe. However, looking through the various sourcebooks, Range Vipers have not yet been built as a Threat. As such, here is my Range Viper Threat Build, based on their classic toy card description and their upgraded accessories provided with their GIJoe Classified action figure. If you enjoy this content, please help support my friend Owen with his fight with cancer . Snail Nobra! Regular infantry would come back from a mission with hopes of getting hot meals and shower when they arrive at base.  Range-Vipers  are different. Their barracks is not a four-sided building with a roof, it's out there on the cold hard ground made of whatever makeshift materials they can find. Their meals are whatever edible walking or crawling critter that comes along, and their water comes from the nearest river and stream. They are only provided their uniforms and basic weapons. Whatever else they need they have to hun...
