Message: <blockquote data-quote="Chaldfont" data-source="post: 2066025" data-attributes="member: 1472">I want a source book on creating the ultimate re-occuring arch-villain. Help me create a bad guy like Scorpius of Farscape, Arvin Sloan of Alias or Kyrcek of X-Files. I want a character that the players hate and know will double-cross them but that they have to deal with sooner or later. Maybe a prestige class or two based on these types of villains.Of course, this doesn't have to be d20, it could be rules-independant.Another thing I'd like to see for d20 (D&D or Modern) are one-shot, short campaigns of 1-3 sessions based on the cliches of summer blockbuster movies with great pre-gen PCs and memorable villains. I want to play the buddy cop movie (Lethal Weapon, Rush Hour), the horror survival movie (Alien, Predator, The Thing), the treasure hunting movie (Indiana Jones, The Mummy), and the heist/mob movie (Ocean's 11, Get Shorty, Kelly's Heroes, Snatch). Include in these adventures new, semi-unbalancing rules specific to the characters to make them really stand out (like Matrix bullet-time). Give the PCs specific skills, feats and abilities that will come up in play later (like when Riggs dislocates his shoulder to escape the bad guys in Lethal Weapon).</blockquote>
