Message: <blockquote data-quote="Richards" data-source="post: 5691705" data-attributes="member: 508">I also do the same thing with the adventures I write for the Champions campaign I'm running for my youngest son.  His PC is Brandon Johnson, an Iron Man type in a suit of powered armor; his superhero identity is "Jetstar."<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Cold Cash - The mutant Icicle (a pregenerated villain from the Champions book) attacks an armored car, which Jetstar notices while flying overhead on patrol.  This was a simple "figure out how the rules work again after not having played the game for 16 years or so" simple encounter, but it set up some NPC police officers who would end up being Jetstar's contacts on the force. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Fish Sandwich - Two members of the supervillain group "The Aquarians" - Fiddler Crab and the Whale - block off both ends of a bridge over a river and start gathering cash and valuables from the people trapped between them.  Brandon is in one of the cars in the middle of the bridge, but fortunately he's got the Jetstar armor in the trunk.... </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Bug Out - There's a scream from out back of the pub where Brandon's eating - a humanoid fly attacked and killed the cook while he was throwing a bag of garbage in the dumpster.  While Jetstar battles the Fly, a wasp-shaped robot approaches, having tracked the Fly to its current location and eager to recapture the experimental victim before anyone finds out his identity. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Pitch Black Water, Rich Black Daughter - While flying over the bay in the early morning, Jetstar sees two other Aquarians, Shark and Eel, ambush a yacht currently being piloted by Jessica Black, the daughter of a local businessman, Richard Black.  When the two split up (Eel taking Jessica underwater to the Sea Scorpion, a submersible piloted by Fiddler Crab), Jetstar lets Shark escape with the stolen boat and rescues the young woman. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Naked Without My Armor - Two short scenarios: the first involving Brandon being carjacked by gang members while in the wrong part of town and rescued by Amoebaman, a stretchy superhero; the second involving a fight between Amoebaman and the Crippler, whose hands can become superdense or intangible (and who pulls Brandon right through his own armor when Jetstar joins the battle). </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Crab Bait - Fiddler Crab posts a challenge to Jetstar to meet him in combat, but it's a trap by STALKER and STASIS, two supervillains employed by Stellex Technological, a combat armor/weapons developer who wants to investigate the Jetstar armor for themselves. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Horny Toad - Branson investigates his boss's missing sister, a shy librarian who goes missing during a visit, and who is later spotted working as a stripper at a newly-opened club, the Horny Toad - which, it turns out, is also the name of the hideous mutant owner whose mind control powers only work on women. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Gonna Shake My Little Combat Armor System on the Catwalk - Brandon attends a weapons/armor expo, during which a prototype combat armor system is stolen.  In hot pursuit in the skies above the city are not only Jetstar, but also TUNDRA (an UNTIL agent - they're the standard "good guy" organization, the equivalent to Marvel's SHIELD) and STRAFER, another Stellex Technological employee intent on stealing the new armor system for his employers. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">All Your Tech is Belong to Me - A supervillain named HaXX0r, who can control technology with his mind, goes on a rampage through the city just for fun, and Jetstar and TUNDRA must try to take him down. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">...Or Maybe It Was a Porcupine? - The current owner of a stolen suit of combat armor, Hedgehog, takes it to be repaired (at gunpoint) to the shop where Brandon works.  After "fixing" it, Brandon takes after Hedgehog in his Jetstar armor. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Faster Than a Speeding Cream Pie - A disgruntled clown gains speed powers in a freak accident and becomes Velocilaughter.  When he goes on a high-speed graffiti/prank rampage through the city, Jetstar has to take him down. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Sale Boat - Businessman Richard Black thinks he's tracked down his stolen boat on the black market and wants to hire Jetstar to check it out, leading up to a rematch with Shark and Eel.</li> </ul>You'll notice that most of the titles are puns.  What can I say? - I'm easily amused.Johnathan</blockquote>
