Unreal Worlds: Prophet Loss

There are strange things out in the desert, some of which we've already discussed. The shifting sands hide lost cities grander than sunken Atlantis, and history older than human memory. Religions are born on the dunes, secrets are lost to memory, and prophecies are whispered in the wind. But sometimes they are heard. Or read.

The Avalon Mesa is nowhere in particular, at least nowhere I care to identify specifically. It’s somewhere west of the Mississippi and north of the Rio Grande. Somewhere east of the Pacific and south of Canada.  It’s really not too different from the setting of a lot of Westerns: out on the mythic frontier, a dusty place where cattlemen and farmers, rail barons and cowpokes, and a...

So if you’ve been paying attention to the previous posts about the Avalon Mesa, you’ve got a pretty good idea who our slate of characters really is. You’ve met the noble Arthur Britton (King Arthur), the vengeful Lance Franks (Lancelot), and the boisterous — and slightly dim — Kay Roman (Kay, or Cai, depending on how closely you stick to the Celtic originals). But...

Random Table Tuesday: Who Are Those Innocent Bystanders?

Your supers are fighting the latest villain to menace their fair city: OMICRON. Smashing through buildings in the downtown area, the tide of the battle may be turning, but they must balance their desire to capture OMICRON with the scads of bystanders who were simply living their lives before your heroes tossed an armored truck through their bay window. Bystanders are an awesome way to complicate...
