Valkyries (The Monsters Are Our Heroes)

It's been a while since I built a bestiary entry for "The Monsters Are Our Heroes." Here is my concept for the Valkyrie...

Check out "The Monsters Are Our Heroes" by Bloat Games.

When the Monster Covens do not properly manage their own population from slaughtering humanity, as detailed within The Accords, then Santa Claus is forced to send in his daughters to clean up the situation. He sends in the valkyries!

These maidens of death take after the celestial hosts from which they were birthed, and visit righteous vengeance upon the wicked. Sometimes their zeal for meting out justice goes a bit too far, and they end up leaving a “Scorched Earth” in their wake; all monsters – and not a few innocents – having been destroyed while they got their smite on!

Valkyries always appear to be beautiful women adorned with battle armor and mystical weapons. Being birthed from the combination of All father Odin (aka Santa Claus) and celestial angels, they possess a variety of divine powers used to aid in their fight against evil. Most of these powers are channeled into their armor and weapons to better protect themselves and destroy any monsters in their path.

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 ...

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. Al...

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...
