The Hit Parade

2009-05-23T00:36:00.002-04:00

Starting today and every Friday, I'll be posting to a new blog called The Hit Parade. Being a big Star Wars fan and gamer, I decided to start posting characters to a fake bounty hunter blog in the Star Wars universe. Each post will have some illustrations and a PDF of the character in question. If you like to game and need a NPC, stop by and check it out!

Oh ... and I'll be blogging here more regularly as well .... planning a day every week to blog ... honest!

I'm All-In!

2009-02-24T09:35:00.003-05:00

I'm still here gang! Just working on a few ideas and typing like a mad-man these days in between looking for work and doing stuff with the family. So, 'bout a year ago, I contributed to a project for Green Ronin called Wild Cards: All-In. Well, a year later and guess what? It's on its way to stores soon! I'm kind of excited about this one, as I've always been a big Wild Cards and jumped at the chance to work on something for it. It's currently out in PDF and should be out soon in print. In related news, I wrapped up an art project a few weeks back for another company. Soon as it's close to release, I'll let everyone know.

In other news, I started running some 4th edition Dungeons & Dragons for my kids and some of their friends. So far, we have a pretty well-rounded group and everyone's made characters (with the exception of a few that couldn't make the first session, but we'll catch them up soon). Next session, they go on their first adventure! May have to log a bit of adventure fun here, we'll see. That's all I've got for now ...

The Harvester v2.0

2008-08-29T00:23:00.004-04:00

So over at The Atomic Think Tank, I had posted a character in the 1st edition M&M days that was a homage to the old slasher flicks that I grew up with. Well, somehow I had missed a request to see a 2nd ed version ... so I wanted to change that. Below is the 2nd edition stats and info on The Harvester, including the original plot seeds and a few more. I had also posted the original over at The Hero Games boards, but the stats stayed the same. Enjoy.

The Harvester
No one knows where it came from. It kills without mercy and is almost unstoppable. In the past, it seemed content on hunting teenagers and delinquents in the woods, but in more recent years, its taken to hunting in cities and going on killing sprees. The last time it was seen was Halloween of '07, it wandered into Freedom City and was barely stopped by the combined might of The Freedom League and the hero Foresight. But it's been "taken care of" in the past. Only time will tell when the Harvester will rise
again ...

Learning about The Harvester
Gather Information
DC 15
Last Halloween, there was something called The Harvester that attacked the Freedom League. DC 20
The working theory is that something summoned the creature and brought it to Freedom City. DC 25
After it was defeated, it was given a proper burial in hopes of letting it rest in peace.

Capers

7th Son of a 7th Son: One of the players is a decendent of someone who wiped out the magicians. Now, in the present day, the Harvester has found this information and zeroed in on the character. How can his team mates stop an unstoppable killing machine?

Grudge Match: As a child, one of the character's NPCs was involved in an attack by The Harvester. Now an adult, the killer has come back to finish them off while with the hero's secret ID.

His Soul is MINE!: A magic wielding villain has bonded the little will that the Havester has to his control. Recently, the killer's been commiting odd crimes (bank robberies, museum raids, etc). How will the heroes counter the killer in time to find out who's really behind the thefts?

Reborn: Something has awakened the Harvester again. Once again invading the city proper, the creature begins stealing arcane artifacts. The PCs gather to battle it, but the creature only attacks if provoked. Who's behind the rebirth? And why do they want the artifacts?

Harvester is a creation of DT Butchino. M&M is owned by Green Ronin Games.

Spectacular Spider-Man!

I normally don't work with other companies' characters ... but over at The Atomic Think Tank they've started a "Project Redesign" thread with Spider-Man. So I had an idea that you'll see to your right. Kind of fun ... I may have to stat him out sometime and give him a full history OHotMU style.

I call him Spider-Man of Earth 2671. Points to those who know why that Earth is significant.

Now when is Whedon going to do some Firefly webisodes? Huh?

Oh ... and more from me on the way. Been a bit busy IRL.

So, in Worlds of Freedom, one of the characters I had worked on was a character based on Freedom City's Johnny Rocket. In the final copy, she hadn't been illustrated ... until now. This is just a rough image that works for the general concept. When I have some more time I may clean it up a bit and do a few minor tweaks. But, for the most part, I think she turned out pretty good.

Okay 3, 2, 1 ... Let's Jam!

2008-04-17T12:04:00.007-04:00

Okay ... so I'm on a SW kick ... what can I say? This entry is all about the main character of the show Cowboy Bebop. That's right, below are the stats for Spike Spiegel in all his bounty hunting glory. Next maybe I'll do classic Starbuck or maybe some other members of either Serenity's or Bebop's crew. Again, many thanks to Wikipedia for the bio.
____________________________________
Spike Spiegel
Some years prior to Session 1, Spike had been a rising member of the Red Dragon Crime Syndicate where he was partnered as a sweeper and enforcer along with his then best friend, Vicious. Badly injured after a shoot-out in the slums on Mars, Spike stumbled to the home of Julia, who was at that time Vicious' girlfriend. The pair fell in love while she nursed him back to health. Spike decided to leave the syndicate and elope with Julia. Realizing that his best friend had essentially gone soft and fallen for his girlfriend, Vicious gave Julia a painful ultimatum: either murder Spike or Spike and Julia would both face death for her betrayal. Although the specifics of the incident are unclear, Spike apparently managed to fake his own death by engaging in a gunfight alone in a church against a rival syndicate; this allowed him to drop off of the Red Dragons' radar. He waited for Julia so they could escape and be free, but she never showed.
One of the recurring themes surrounding Spike's character is how he views himself and his life. He claims that one eye - his right one, the prosthetic - can only see the present, and the other - the left, his real eye - can only see the past. This is revisited by a close-up on Spike's left eye every time he has a flashback of his life before coming aboard the Bebop. He seems to regard his false death as real in some way, saying that after that day, he had "merely been living a dream". (During Session 25 when Spike has a flashback of the last time he saw Julia, the close-up shows both Spike's eyes, perhaps implying that his future and past are now the same.)
Spike's attitude of living in a "dream-like" existence is displayed by his careless behavior and his nonchalant attitude towards dangerous or outright fatal situations. One quote that exemplifies this is in Session 1, when Catalina tells Spike that she is not sure if he is joking or not, to which he responds that he "gets that a lot".
Some time after his "death", Spike met the former ISSP cop turned bounty hunter Jet Black, and the two men became partners. Spike moved onto Jet's ship, the eponymous Bebop and the two men worked together for about three years before being joined by the other crew members.
In the final episode Spike and Julia pick up where they left off in their plans to escape Red Dragon, enlisting Annie's help — only to find that Vicious' goons have gotten there already. After laying Annie to rest, they fight their way out, but Julia is shot and killed. Spike returns to the Bebop for one last meal with his family and is confronted by Faye for his final decision he realizes he cannot continue to run from his past and must confront it before he then storms Red Dragon's headquarters. Killing several gangsters he gradually shoots his way to the Vicious chamber with a bit of assistance from Shin, he makes it to the top floor, severely wounded but alive ,where he and Vicious confront each other for a final time.
Spike and Vicious duel. In the heat of their brawl, both weapons are simultaneously knocked out of each others hands. Spike with Vicious's katana in hand and Vicious clutching Spike's Jericho 941, Spike saying, "Julia is dead… Let's end it all." and Vicious retorts "As you wish." Both slide their respected weapons back to one another, and as Spike shoots, Vicious runs his blade across his abdomen. Vicious falls dead. Spike stumbles out of Vicious' chamber, clutching his side and bleeding profusely, and begins to descend a long staircase as several gangsters stare in awe and a bright light fills the room. Spike then raises his right hand, positioning his fingers to resemble a gun, says "Bang" and collapses dying from the blood loss. Then the credits begin to roll with the stars as a background. Nearing the end of the credits a bright red star on the horizon fades out, symbolizing that a life has ended.

Captain Malcolm Reynolds - Firefly SAGA

2008-04-16T19:25:00.007-04:00

So I decided to continue with some SAGA conversions ... today, we see Captain Malcolm Reynolds from Firefly/Serenity as seen through a SWSE lens. Many thanks to IMDB and Wikipedia for some of the information below. If I get the hankering, I might stat up the rest of the crew, as well as some of the more colorful characters of the 'Verse.
___________________________________________________________________________

Captain Malcolm Reynolds

Mal comes from the world of Shadow where his family owned a ranch. His father died when he was young and he was raised by his mother and many ranch hands. It is unknown if he has any borthers or sisters. During the war for independence from the Alliance, Mal was a Sargent in the 57th Brigade of Browncoats for the Independents, and led his platoon into many battles. Ultimately, he was forced to surrender after the Battle of Serenity Valley on Hera, and soon after the war ended with the Browncoats losing. During the war Zoe Washburne was under his command and proved to be a fierce fighter and loyal subordinate. After the war Mal purchased the old Firefly and called it Serenity after the battlefield. Zoe joined him as first mate. Both Mal and Zoe have a deep hatred of the Alliance and any and all forms of authority. Mal lost all sense of hope and faith during the horrific war and is now an almost empty shell of a man, and keeping his ship and crew safe is his main purpose in life. He also has a sense of nobility about him, helping the weak and those in need when he can. We get the sense that he is a good man which circumstances have made into a criminal (one can also view him as a soldier who makes a distinction between friend and foe). His sheltering of Simon and River Tam from the Alliance is but one sign of this noble and caring attitude. Mal has a keen ability to make plans, which usually go wrong, but he also has the ability to think on his feet and improvise. He'd rather settle arguments with a gun or his fists than any other way, but will back down if the odds are not in his favor. Mal has very different relationships with the others on board Serenity. During the course of the show there was a great deal of unresolved romantic tension between himself and Inara Serra, a registered Companion who lives on the ship. Mal trusts Zoe to watch his back and depends on her a great deal. Jayne Cobb the mercenary is one person Mal doesn't trust and many timess the two men have almost come to blows. Kaylee the mechanic is like a younger sister to Mal, while Simon Tam and Mal have a great deal of tension between them because of the actions of Simon's mentally troubled sister River which causes problems at times. Mal see's River in a different light from Simon. He see's her as a tool with her ability to "see into things" and as an equal on the ship as crew member. He also dislikes how the Alliance tampered with her, trying to make her "better" which is something he doesn't hold with. Shepherd Book is like an adviser to Mal. Wash the pilot and Mal have a cordial relationship that has occassional problems since Zoe is Wash's wife and he doesn't really understand the bond that Mal and Zoe have from the war. Mal is a hero but a flawed one, a criminal, but an honorable thief and ultimately someone who is a natural born leader.

Star Wars Saga: AvP

2008-04-03T09:25:00.002-04:00

I've always been a big fan of comics. When Dark Horse Comics got the Star Wars license, they'd already been playing with the Aliens and Predator licenses for a bit. At some point within the last decade or so, both Aliens and Predator have crossed over with some fantastic other properties ... but never with Star Wars. So I propose this idea ... what if the heroes of the Rebellion era battled either (or both) species? I've typed up some basics on both Xenomorphs and Yautja below to be used in the new Star Wars Saga system so that others may find out. Enjoy.

Yautja Species
The Yautjaa fictional extraterrestrial species featured in the Predator science-fiction franchise, characterised by their trophy hunting of other dangerous species for sport, including humans. For more information, please see Predators.
Ability Modifiers: +4 Strength, +2 Constitution, -1 Dexterity, -2 Wisdom, -3 Charisma. Yautja have tremendous strength and hardiness, but aren't known for their personalities.
Medium Size: As medium-sized creatures, Yautja have no bonuses or penalties due to their size.
Speed: Yautja base speed is 6 squares.
Expert Hunters: Yautja are exceptional hunters and may take 10 with Survival rolls to track opponents down even when distracted or threatened.
Resilient: A Yautja regains hit points at double the normal rate (see Natural Healing, page SWSE148).
Skills: Yautja are expert brachiators, granting a +5 to Climb and Acrobatics rolls when using trees as a form of movement.
Automatic Language: Yautja

Yautja Weaponry & Armor
Below are a sample of the weapons and equipment the Yautja use.

Optics Helmet
Cost 5,000 Armor Bonus to Ref Def - Armor Bonus to Fort Def +2 Max Dex Bonus +5
Weight 3kg Availability Restricted
This light helmet offers little protection for the Yautja, but rather offers him a bevy of sensor suites to hunt his prey. The main sensors allow the wearer to use regular vision, thermal, electric, and a friend/foe setting that allows for the identification of weaponry. The helmet also offers a computerized targeting array that grants its user a +2 attack with ranged weaponry.

Cloaking Device
Cost 10,000 Weight 2 kg
Typically reserved for hunts against quarry which shoot back, the cloaking device provides the Predator with active camouflage, bending light around the wearer and projecting a semi-transparent image in front of the Predator, rendering it partially invisible. In game terms, while active, the cloaking device allows the Yautja to Take 10 with Stealth rolls even if distracted or threatened.

Melee Weapons
Combi Stick Size L Cost 5,000 Damage 2d8* Stun Damage - Weight 6kg Type B/S Availability R
Wrist Blades Size M Cost 3,000 Damage 2d6 Stun Damage - Weight 2kg Type S/P Availability R
*Combi Stick damage ignores DR

Ranged Weapons
Plasma Caster Size S Cost 3,000 Damage 3d10 Stun Damage - Weight 5kg Type E Availability R
Shuriken Size S Cost 2,000 Damage 3d6 Stun Damage - Weight 3kg Type S/P Availability R
Smart Disk Size S Cost 2,000 Damage 3d6 Stun Damage - Weight 2kg Type S/P Availability R

All weapons are treated against the Xenomorphs' acidic blood.

Acidic Blood - If exposed to the blood of a Xenomorph, a target receives 1d6 damage every round until treated. This damage is considered Persistent on the Condition Track. A successful Treat Injury check (DC 20) is required to halt the damage. In some cases, Xenomorphs have used this to their advantage, splashing targets with their own blood. In such cases, it should be treated as an attack with +6 to hit and having a range of 1 square. In many cases, large quantities of the blood has been used to melt metal in floors and doors.
Ambush - A Xenomorph deals +2d6 points of damage with its natural weapons against a flat-footed opponent.
Blind - The spittle from a Xenomorph is also mildly acidic, often causing blindness in those struck in the eyes by it. To perform this, the Xenomorph must be within 1 square of their target and make an attack where the target receives a +10 bonus to their Reflex Defense. If successful, the target moves 3 steps down the Condition Track.

Reboot

Welcome to "A Fistful o' Hellfyre 2.0"!

Why a Reboot?
I've always wanted to use this blog for more than just random musings. I've got some ideas for things that will be coming up in April and a regular schedule of events.

What Kind of Events?
I have a few serials that I'll be writing, regular art here, as well as over at my deviantART gallery, and some stats for the stuff in my serials. I'll still have some random craziness as well, but I'd like to keep the ideas flowing and such.

So stay tuned ... April's around the corner and the info will be coming up soon!
