Theres been a death in Sharn. Not a big deal... except that the dead man was
killed installing a trap in a guildhouse... a very deadly trap. And not one
that belonged there... questions have been asked, and divinations have
revealed that he was not alone. There are few clues, and little information.
A group of specialists has been brought in. In other words....you. And your
on the clock. Is it a revenge plot, or something bigger?

It's been a long day. Hong Kong's hectic hustle and bustle has tired you out. Luckily, there's this great restaurant you've just heard about called the Eating Counter . It's not in the best of neighbourhoods, but they say the food is good, the service is excellant and the price is right. All you need to get through the day is a nice quiet lunch. Too bad that gang of toughs just broke the front door down. It's going to be a long day...

After all the major American cities have super-hero's, it's slim pickings left for Canada . Whether you're trying to start a super-team, or looking for your arch nemesis there is only one place to be: Club HQ. Sure, people's powers are sometimes a little wonky and since Illiteration Man's death, the names of the hero's have gotten worse over the years, but it's still the, uh, literally only place to be.
This is a live-action role playing game using the “Rules to Live By” system. If you are expecting functional kewl superhero powers, you will be disappointed. All our superheros have some fatal flaw with their powers, or their powers don't make sense. That's the fun.

COR5-18 Kusnir
Author: Stuart Kerrigan

CORS5-02 Mines of the Eye

Deep below the Abbor-Alz the duergar are stirring. Rumors of a fell compact between the duergar's mysterious leader, a being known only as "Father Eye" and the perfidious Rary, monarch of the Bright Lands are rife. What evil purpose is served by this alliance is unknown, but assuredly it serves some goal in Rary's greater design. The paladin Karistyne has determined that Rary's scheme must be stymied and so the call has gone out for doughty adventurers to eradicate this growing threat. An adventure for characters level 1 – 16 (APLs 2-16). Part 3 of the “Blight on Bright Sands” campaign arc.

Now, in this time of trouble, the True Faith has decreed that there will be a festival of celebration of his deeds and victory, held in Lopolla.
