During WWII times were bleak until the greatest hero mankind had ever seen came onto the scene. Admiral America, hero of the allies, came to us out of nowhere single handedly turned the war. How can we ever forget his most famous words, "The battleship of freedom will never sink, fascist!", as he punched out Adolf and ended the war. Thus he banded together with heroes from around the world to form the Super Armada. He recruited Comrade Winter, Madame Areiné and The Steel Samurai. Together, they ushered in a new age of peace and safety. The Super Armada and other, lesser heroes, kept the world safe for many, many years!
But something has happened. The heroes of the world are no longer answering their callsigns. The Super Armada have not been sighted for months. Even worse, all new villains are pounding on humanities door! And because the police and militaries haven't had to worry about doing any work for over 60 years, they are severely under staffed and under funded to do anything about it. Humanity can only cower behind the couch as evil breaks down the door! Even right now, megacity 15 is under siege from by new villains! Will nobody stand up against them?!
And welcome, to a minimalistic super hero themed rtd. Expect fights against large number of mooks, silly villains and constantly escalating scenarios. You will start out as a simple failed villain/wannabe hero/vigilante and work your way up to true heroism, or die trying. Also a somewhat overarching story, but this shouldn't concern you.
As for your sheet, all I need is your callsign and what your vigilante's schtick is. You don't get any bonuses to your skills yet, you will earn these as you beat bad guys. Backstory is appreciated, but not mandatory. Remember, you're not a hero yet, so don't try making a super powerful character.
will take probably around 6 characters to start with
Standard rtd D6. Only natural 6's and 1's result in extremes. On rolling either 6 or 1, you get an extra roll. Rolling 3 or under keeps the effects bad, while rolling 4 or above makes it so the effects are more in your favour.
