Untitled 50's Super Hero/Secret Agent Game (WIP)

Yes, yes I like this idea!

@JLBH2000 Thanks, and with your own! :slight_smile:

@Bagelthief Cheers, I’m hoping the spy elements of classic Bond and the traditional Silver Age of Comics will blend well together.

So I’m in the planning stages of this atm, got this in mind for the character creation/core choices so far…

  • Pick 1 of 4 Countries of Origin: Britain, the USA, the USSR or China. Each one affects who your parents were and elements of your back story before arriving at the agency. For example if you were born in Britain your might have lived through the Blitz as a child. I’ll be using real historical events for flavour.
  • 1 of 3 or 4 Power Sets. Size Changing will be one because when I devised this it was going to be the only power with some choosable side powers, sort of a tribute to the size change types like Ant Man and Atom. In any case, finalising the powers I think would be interesting. The idea is that your core power affects your choices in some cases, but also there’ll be a special exclusive vignette for each power.
  • 1 of 4 Power Origins - Alien, Mutation, Lab Accident or Magic. This will affect character interaction and some elements, but mainly it’ll affect the main leader villain, which will change depending on your power origins and have some connections to you.
  • 1 of 2 Bosses, one male and female, inspired by the various M’s of James Bond, Nick Fury and Amanda Waller respectively.

So that’s what I have so far, no title yet, might be opting for Silver Age. Any questions or suggestions would be awesome.

Sounds great carnt wait

Will there be like an ability where your unbeatable in melee combat and ranged combat that would be awesome

Magic seems a bit wishy washy compared to the other Power origins, other than that looks pretty good.

@trollhunterthethird

Well you do get a lot of magic users in comics like Doctor Strange, Magik, Scarlet Witch, Doctor Fate and Zatanna. So it seemed like a logical origin option. I am also toying with gadget types akin to Iron Man and Batman where the user has no power directly, rather coming from some external source like an armour or they have unusually high skills from training. And those would go with Alien, which tackles arrivals like Superman or Martian Manhunter, Lab Accident or Meta Human for types like Flash or Spider-Man, and Mutation for the X-Men types.

i wanna be a seductress poison use like a bond girl i hope there will be some seduction powers lol. Seduction good cars and martinis is all a spy need

This game sounds great so far

@MaraJade Possibly a Pheromone Power could appear, though whether I would have the MC have it or others is up to question.

@JLBH I not certain what you mean in relation to powers, though players as James Bondesqe spies will have natural abilities as well. In regards to ranged combat I might include energy blasts like Cyclops or Havok do.

@ChimeraLord Thanks very much! I hope it’ll do tributing the 50’s, James Bond and Comics of the time justice.

for example in xmen wade is a specialist at sword combat I mean like that

@JLBH Ohhh right! Well as I said you character is trained as an agent so you have an array of skills suited to a spy with super powers. Sword combat is unlikely since it doesn’t suit the era all that well.

Okey dokey

Carnt wait mate

Interestin I’m keeping my eye on this one
