STREET-LEVEL SUPERHEROES FOR SHADOWDARK

Welcome to Fresno, Nevada.

Better known as Crime City.

Once, the city was protected by Vanguard, a celebrated team of superheroes. Then Vanguard became corrupted. Now they rule through fear as the Crime Lords, terrorising the same streets they once swore to defend.

The city needs heroes again.

Unfortunately, the heroes it has left are damaged, compromised or long since retired.

Vigilantes for Shadowdark is a complete superhero roleplaying game built from the Shadowdark rules. It presents a gritty, street-level campaign of antiheroes, vigilantes and former Golden Age heroes forced back into action against the fallen champions who now control their city.

The characters must confront organised crime, superhuman threats and the consequences of their own histories. Their struggle is not only to defeat the Crime Lords, but to overcome the secrets, failures and personal damage that helped shape Crime City.

The setting combines superhero action with darker elements of conspiracy and body horror. Superhuman abilities emerged through sinister experiments, cybernetics, psychic research and attempts to channel the mysterious power known as the Shadowdark.

CREATE YOUR OWN VIGILANTE

Create a new hero or randomly generate one using the game’s character-creation rules.

Available character classes include:

Strong Hero
Fast Hero
Smart Hero
High-Tech Hero
Self-Made Hero
Charismatic Hero

Characters can select or randomly determine their abilities from a broad collection of minor and major powers. The game also includes rules for firearms, cybernetics, superhuman abilities and modern street-level action.

PLAY THE ESTABLISHED CHARACTERS

The book includes pre-generated heroes and villains connected to the history of Crime City.

Players can take the roles of:

Retired heroes returning to action.
New vigilantes entering the conflict.
Damaged survivors of earlier superhuman programmes.
Members of the corrupted Vanguard.
Original characters created using the supplied rules.

This allows the group to approach the campaign from several sides, including the possibility of playing the established villains and exploring how they seized control of the city.
