It was starting to take half a session just for people to fill each other in on what they'd missed, so I suggested to my Longshot City players they start keeping a conspiracy board to keep track of the campaign via shared whiteboard. I love it. That's logos for all the PC characters on the left (it's a drop-in drop-out style campaign, so it's usually more like 3-5 characters at a time than all 9 at once. just whoever makes it that week). EJS stands for Enterprise Justice Solutions, which is their team name. They want to make a name for themselves, so Professor Fangs had business cards and tshirts all printed out and ready to go before their first mission.

This is 10 sessions in.

Longshot City NPC + Shameless Marketing

This past weekend I introduced a new npc to my ongoing campaign. She ambushed the pcs as they left their hideout and almost killed them all. They captured her in the end but she melted a hole in the floor and got away when they wrecked the van. They wrecked the van because the driver saw a ghost.

P.H.
Skill: 11
Stamina: 18
Initiative: 4
Armor: 2
Damage as Energy Blast (Chemical).

Priscilla Hamilton won 8 Olympic medals in gymnastics before retiring from competition and coaching the sport at Franklin College. She is a well-loved local celebrity who makes frequent public appearances.

Her younger brother was an innocent bystander who became collateral damage in a superpowered fight involving the PCs. When she went public with her hatred of the team, 
Dr. Sarah Tonin noticed and approached her with an offer she couldn't refuse.

Special
P.H. is outfitted with tech from Dr. Sarah Tonin including wrist-mounted acid jets (as Energy Blast—Chemical), acidic gas bombs (area, as Massive Blast—Chemical), a compact grapple gun with a lightweight nearly unbreakable line, polycarbon jacket and pants, gas mask/helmet with enhanced vision (infrared and telescopic) and hearing. She rides a bitchin’ motorcycle.

Motives
1. To get revenge.
2. To protect a loved one.
3. To work for hire.
4. To make a name for herself.
5. To pull off a string of heists.
6. To protect her employer.

In Other News
Space Penguin Ink is now selling this t-shirt I designed:

They also have a 13% off sale on all their zines and books going on. I worked on The Garden of Corda and the first three issues of Red Solstice.

Silent Titans is also on sale, so be sure to check that out if the regular price was too daunting.
