Post GuardianCon 10
on: July 11, 2012, 11:52

I'm going to be posting lots of pics for GuardianCon 10, our annual convention that has a lot of games, but has predominantly been V&V. Let me start off by linking to the Villains and Vigilantes Forum, rather than tying up a bunch of bandwith here. This first adventure - "Signs of the Zodiac" - was run by me on Thursday night.

A simple summary of this one:

#33 – Signs of the Zodiac – Multi-millionaire business tycoon Andrew Topple honors Oz, Sir Rathos, and Spartan (and many other civic heroes) at a lavish Inspiration Celebration aboard his yacht, the Rebel. After they depart from Baltimore, the ceremony is held, then Topple baits the heroes into expending lots of energy showing off, Sir Rathos gets drunk, and a disguised Scorpio and Virgo slowly poison each of the adventurers. Meanwhile new vigilantes Wraith and Contagion investigate a strange break-in at the Crowley skyscraper downtown, where earlier Cancer had stolen plans for Topple’s Equalizer armor from a secure vault. The two follow the yacht in a motorboat to a distant sand bar, where most of the passengers observe from land as Topple is confronted on the docked Rebel by Taurus, Pisces, and Cancer. The new Zodiac criminals had conspired with Topple, but decided not to throw the fight after learning he planned to betray them. Wraith and Contagion arrive and join Equalizer (Topple’s bodyguard) and the other three in contesting the villains, who swiftly decimate all who oppose them. The six members of the Zodiac (including the hidden Capricorn) flee with the money Topple was supposed to pay them, spoiling the CEO’s clever plan to spotlight his Equalizer armor.

One pic from my Thursday night V&V session, "Signs of the Zodiac", which ran opposite a fantasy game.

Friday morning I ran a Marvel Heroic Roleplaying game, while my son and his friend co-GM'd a scenario where people took superheroes into a jungle environment to see how long they could last against Predators (using V&V as the system).

Friday night here's my friend Eric running a modern vampire tale "Knight of the Seductress", where a group of vampire hunters (sponsored by the Vatican and the Knights Templar) hunt the undead in Tokyo. It's a sequel to an adventure he ran last year, and the system is V&V (though everyone ran pregenned PCs).

A partition away, Glen runs his annual Ravensgate tale. Ravensgate began as a V&V campaign (that we ran side-by-side with the Guardians for many years), and it's now been played in something like five different systems. Here he's running d20 Modern.

From "Knight of the Seductress", here's Selena (the big bad), and her pet Werewolf. This is set in our Guardians campaign (loosely), but is separate enough that one need not know anything about it to play in it.

Here's a summary for that last adventure:

#34 – Knight of the Seductress – The Freemason Alpha Team flies to Tokyo, but are unable to contact team leader Brit. Hacker, Tool, Father, Stalker, I.C.E., and new members Silversmith and Ghost find clues in his hotel room that lead to a private underground night club run by Anneke. At the club, where humans are herded like cattle, they take out many vampires, but Anneke escapes. Notes lead to the Matsura corporate building, the base of the Bloodsworn in Japan. Bypassing elaborate security, the group finds Brit under Selena’s sway. They battle the Contessa, her werewolf, Phillipe, Gideon, and many vampire minions and defeat nearly all of them. Only Gideon and Selena escape, with Hacker under her control.

On the third day of the Con Tim ran an epic V&V session with 8 players. The players journeyed through time and faced numerous menaces from throughout the campaign's long history. Here's one picture from it, showing some of the PCs witnessing the first ever battle of the Guardians:

I would have really liked to have been there for "Endgame", but alas I was over playing Traveller at the time. For the two part summary of "Endgame", see the Guardians Issue Summaries thread.

Here's another shot from "Endgame", where the heroes were matched up against adversaries on an over-sized game board:

We actually used V&V counters (just regular people ones) for Traveller as well:
