Bay City: Chronicles [ EDIT ]
This game has been retired! That means it's no longer being run.
Set in Bay City, California in May, 2022, the heroes are answering the call of Marksman, leader of the Crusaders to step up and become the new team after a confrontation with a villain team cost the older team their lives.
As the last twenty years have seen a major decline in people with paranormal/super powers, the characters will be setting the new standard for modern heroes. They will begin small, but build up to a major confrontation with the team that eliminated their predecessors.

Normal SWADE characters with the Super Powers Edge for free. Characters will be Power Level III Rising Stars (Power Points: 20 (+5/advance to Max 45), Max 15 in one power).
I recommend using Savaged.us with the SWADE and Super Powers Companion (2021) as the book options. The initial setting rules will be the Gritty setting. As such, heroes may take an additional Major Hindrance and use the points as normal. After a while we will shift to full Four-Color setting.
Also, we will be using the Adventure Deck. As such, players will need to utilize the custom decks script located and described here. This will allow everyone to see and use the deck I have set up in this game. :) ( I'll be the one to use it basically, but everyone needs the script set up to be able to see the resulting card draw. :) )
"Gritty" SETTING RULES:
Born a Hero (SW)
Comic Book Combat (SPC)
Conviction (SW)
Creative Combat (SW)
Death & Defeat (SPC)
Fanatics (SW)
Gritty Damage (SW)
Hard Choices (SW)
High Adventure (SW)
Larger than Life (SPC)
Never Surrender (SPC)
Throwdown (SPC)
