Necessary Evil: Breakout - Cinematic Storytelling in a Super-Powered Setting

About the adventure

In the Cordon that was once New York City, no one enters and no one leaves. When the v'sori conquered Earth, the supervillains of New York put up a stiff resistance. The aliens responded by placing Manhattan under an unbreakable energy field. Trapped, the supervillains battle it out for weapons, resources, and dominance. But, they aren't alone. A strange swarm of creatures roams the sewers and subways. Powerful gangs contend for control. Survivors search for scraps to trade in the black market of scavenged goods. Only the strong will survive, and the most calculating will eventually...BREAKOUT! *Art elements created by Ronnie Walton using Leonardo.AI Image Generator

Additional Details

How to prepare

Players will need a working microphone. Webcam is optional. Internet connection required. No prior experience with Savage Worlds needed. Dice rolls will be handled via Foundry VTT, though players may also roll their own dice (with GM approval).

What I provide

I bring an cinematic, roleplaying experience set up in Foundry VTT. Pregen characters are provided (though players can make their own characters with GM approval).

Gameplay details

Players can expect fast-paced action reminiscent of tales told in superpowered movies. There will be no graphic descriptions of gore, though there may be moments of "creepy dread". I aim for a cinematic experience, often opting for "Rule of Cool".
