Hurt Locker: The Lost Boys

Chronicles of Darkness, Open Development

So, yesterday I posted psychic vampires. I posted a few templates a while ago, and last week I posted two more. I forgot, there was one other. Fortunately, someone reminded me. You see, when I initially posted the Hurt Locker outline, way back when, I mentioned wanting to see a sort of “super soldier” group. I had a thing ready, but I wanted to retool it to distance it from Deviant, since this was all planned before Deviant was a thing.

I’ve done the retooling. I have this final group to present to you. We call them The Lost Boys.

From a design standpoint, there’s a foundation here. There’s some story. They’re sympathetic. There’s background. But they’re not very specific. This is because I wanted a nice range of possibilities with these templates. Some are very tied to their stories and themes. Some are looser, and basically begging to be adapted to your chronicles as something more specific of your design. I already had one person tell me that he’s going to be using my psychic vampires from yesterday as the foundation for a Jedi group in his upcoming Star Wars game. That’s awesome to hear, and exactly the kind of thing I hoped would happen. These Lost Boys? They’re ready for your retooling. They work on their own, but they could be a foundation for an entire chronicle.

And since I couldn’t come up with more appropriate featured art, yesterday I featured Edvard Munch. It was kind of topical. Today, it’ll be Eduardo Arroyo, a favorite of mine. I don’t think this is at all topical. But if you can find a way to retroactively explain why I chose it, leave a comment.
