Vigilante Variant
Hi all!
Just put my support behind this earlier this week and am hoping to run a game this weekend.
Had an idea for an odd viriant of the Vigalante type team. My idea was that a group of people would get together and create a Zorro or Batman type persona but it’s really multiple people helping create the myth. Using teamwork and support to create a “people’s hero”. No one character woudl actually be the “Batman” but as a team work together to create a myth and also perhaps cover their tracks. Perhaps making a big show as a distraction behind the “Hero” persona and costume after they’ve already or right before they plan to do something.
My idea was a Three Musketeers style hero of Duskwall called “The Black Marquis”. Wearing a tri cornered hat and a black diamond mask, with a long flowing black cape with red lining, rapier in one hand pistol in the other. Supported by an honest blue coat, a disillusioned noble and a network of varying degrees of respectability.
What do you think? Could such an idea work?
Sure. I think it would be critical to have some wrongs to right, and some clocks on them for time frames before it’s too late.
This is amazing. The game will support this, and I think it’s great.
Sounds really really good!!
If I remember correctly, there was this “7th Sea” secret society called Los Vagos which did exactly this. Although Blades seems a bit more rough than 7th Sea, I really miss the setting, so your idea is tempting 🙂
