Plans of Bears and Bloggers Often Get Trashed
Tropes I have some changes to his blog of ICONS
- 1. I am not going to do a team of my four superheroes. I am going to a least one issue for each of my 10 superheroes.
- 2. The city is named Norka. It's in Ohio but it's not Akron — even know Norka is Akron spell backwards.
- 3. If they had a rival or arch-enemy, the superhero will usually face him/her — official ICON character (That fake superhero Diamond) or non offical (Mermonster, a evil merman) If not I roll up a plot on ICON's own super-villain plot and then his origin. Then I work on putting together his abilities.
- 4. If I need to shake things up I use my modified Random Event Table for Superheroes. It will appear after the list
- 5. All other PC Superheroes are NPC Superheroes that may or may not help or hinder the PC — depending on the actions and subjects words I get from Mythic's Word Lists.
