The year is 1985. The location… The United Kingdom & Commonwealth of Great Britain. Civil unrest is rife, the economic & political divide is widening as corporations clash with unions, and supernormal crime is on the rise as the authorities struggle to cope.
The press and media tread an uneasy balance between popularism, sensationalism and sleaze verses in-depth reporting and meaningful news, with public opinion easily swayed.
The Prime Minister has just returned to her seat at the head of the Tory Government after recovering from an assassination attempt by a Supernormal Terrorist. No longer just PM Margaret Thatcher, now she is augmented by pioneering cybernetics and truly is… The Iron Lady!
However its not all bad news: The Cold War seems to be thawing, the Home Computer revolution is underway, with Amiga, Atari, and Sinclair all entering the market. Bond is back on the big screen with A View to a Kill and Duran Duran are #1!
And while Tina sings "We Don’t Need Another Hero”… The UK most definitely does! And so it is that this Land of Confusion sees a new wave of so-called “superheroes” arise... Ready (and willing?) to bring justice to an unjust world!
Congrats and welcome to our Golden Heroes game - Phase 2. Here we'll thrash out the backstories a little more, refine the powers and discuss overlap/power levels etc.
With 7 of you I'm mulling having everyone limited to 7 Power Rolls, but we can discuss that one as a group.
Best idea is to get some aliases pulled together and we can look at everyone's Powers & any WIP etc.
