EpilogueLast summer, a terrorist attack struck the heart of this nation. A "super-dirty bomb" containing a variety of radioactive substances, teratomorphic agents, and many classified substances was detonated in the heart of Downtown Chicago. killing, maiming, or mutating thousands. For days, mutants of all sorts roamed the streets, looting and killing. Most companies closed their doors within the first few days, and few grocery stores or supermarkets were still operational by then; people began starving, fleeing the city, or turning to unorthodox supplies of food such as fruit trees, assorted pests, and sometimes cannibalism.
Six days after the attack, President Tagg declared the city of Chicago uninhabitable and abandoned. Evacuations for the two million still present and alive was carried out. Soon, all that was left of Chicago was a ruin filled with cleanup crews and the occasional criminal or supervillain.
Thanks to dedicated work by the Plumous Construction Corporation, a subsidiary of Plumbous American Technology and Science Incorporated, Chicago is ready to be re-inhabited. It has been rebuilt and cleansed of radiation, criminals, and lingering magical fallout. Plumbous is expected to continue oversight of the resettlement of Chicago in the following months.
In other news, both North and Korea recently declared war on China. While the leaders of both nations refuse to comment, it is widely believed to be due to the large nuclear device which detonated in the DMZ, devastating Kosong, Geojin, and Mt. Kumgang National Park. Both nations launched missiles and bombers at the larger nation. This war, currently labeled the "Sino-Korean War," has already claimed dozens of million lives at the least and perhaps up to 100 million or higher. Both Koreas and China are attempting to drag their allies into the war; more nations seem to be siding with the Korean alliance, although only Cuba and Japan have made any kind of commitment.
Thankfully, an initiative lead by Louis Langer, a philanthropist who gained prominence by donating large sums of money to fix Chicago, has begun construction of massive "shields" which will help defend America, the UK, South Africa, and a few other nations from attacks by ICBM. The EU is considering a measure that will lead to them also contracting the construction of these shields.
EVIL, a hybrid of gang and small army which organized itself in the wake of Chicago's near-destruction, has finally been destroyed. Parahumans Bladelord, Head Case, Chaos Caster, and Green Genesis escaped, but the thirty other parahumans and most of the fourty-odd non-parahumans were brought into custody or killed. They are rumored to be working with Adi Langer, a silver parahuman who claims that Louis Langer is using Plumbous to control the new Chicago; EVIL is known to have a distaste for Louis, which is presumed to be the reason they collaborated.
In Minneapolis, a talking dog recently informed...
Yeah, this is dead. I never really got back into the hang of things, college is requiring a fair amount of work, and the game was always unwieldy and such. Having...sixteen PCs at once does that. Not helping matters was the fact that many people did not post regularly, and that trying to get a daily update out often lead to me staying up to 11 or midnight. I do that enough without Super-RtD.
That said, I might consider a sequel or restart, but with fewer people, once I get enough time for another game.
1. If I did get time, would you rather I restarted Super-RtD, restarted another of my RtDs, or do something else?
2. If I did restart Super-RtD, what would you like to see from it?
3. What did you enjoy about Super RtD?
4. What did you dislike about Super-RtD?
5. If you still want a taste of GWG-flavored superheroes, you could waitlist in
another of my games, which should be starting tomorrow.
