THE ACCEPTABLES! - Adventures in Brick City

[kevperrine]

The following is my set up for the original campaign for this parody fun supers campaign. I'm running a one-shot this weekend, picking up where we left off....

I'd love stupid suggestions for villains and situations and crimes!

THE ACCEPTABLES! - Adventures in Brick City

"Group Councelling" -or- "the Difference Between Mayonaise and Paste"

PREVIEW: ... For several months, the anti-social activities of many of the world's criminals, thugs and supervillains alike have been on the decline. This has been seen in many quarters (outside Brick City) as evidence that the constant vigilance of the world's finest costumed champions, the Order of the Exemplars, has been more successful of late. However, some fear that this observed decline is merely an indication that greater diabolical plot makers are marshalling forces for a grand assault on humankind!! Or at least to stage attempts at getting better rates on their car insurance!
In the wake of this powerful bout of "nothing to do", the ones that are effected most are those brave few of Brick City. The few, the unfavored, "the other guys" as Firefox once called them continue to wage war on that which they can tackle - namely their day jobs...
But then suddenly the action hits like * out of a goose! It's been on the TV and the internets... Corporal U.S. has been attacked over six times in the last three days, even the mighty Übermensch has been tapped on occasion. Their opposition has been, unsurprisingly, less than successful - as has been many attempts on other "heroes" across Metro City.
No ripple as yet from a super-ugly or other big-bad on your block in Brick City, though. The biggest news has been the upcoming prom at James K. Polk High School. High School chicks - Yeah!!
There are rumors on the wind you've heard though... The prom's theme is "Under the Sea" and on the street it looks like the Vespucci Family is makin' waves for "big" Carmine of the Cesarios.
Man... mobsters, they sure do take the fun out of... uh... fun. If some sorta gang war hits now with all this super villain action heating up across Metro City, that sure will ring up the therapy bills. Hey! Lucky they're FREE!

TEAM ROSTER: Gus the Dimensional, Corn-Star, the Befuddler, Red-Shirt
POSSIBLE ISSUE APPEARANCES: Wren, Howie Gilbert, C.H.O.R.E., Dr. Bloom, the GRAND REOPENING of the Polisher's Bowlin' Palace, Cesario's Made-Men, Salvatore, Carmine and Cindy Cesario, NinjaCo LLC., Buzzkill, Dr. Nova Kane, Shamrock, Feral Deer, Run-Nut, and Dr. TNT.

Campaign Notes: This campaign is a satirical campaign based on the styles of "MYSTERY MEN" and "THE TICK" among other great comedic super hero fiction.
Set in Brick City, this begins our story.

This sounds frick'n awesome! I like how you've got Brick City up close to Metro City (Brick City... Fantastic!). Great settup for an adventure - the "calm before the storm"! Your players heroes sound great and I can't wait to hear about Dr. TNT, C.H.O.R.E., and NinjaCo LLC (really... a Limited Liability Corporation - way cool)!

I can't wait to hear how it goes...
