Rising Tide is an Astonishing Super Heroes campaign set in Boston, MA. I’m the GM, and I’m joined by my brother Joel and my cousin Matthew. They each play two characters: Joel’s running DISK GIRL/Naomi Nikita Johnson and THE CAT/Bella Arthur, and Matthew’s running MONOCHROME/Simon Blake and THE SAINT (who is a sentient construct created by Monochrome, and thus has no secret identity).
I will be posting session reports (“campaign journal”) like this one of the campaign periodically. They will include commentary on — or tie into related posts about — campaign building, on-the-fly rulings, and even playtesting new game mechanics. If this is your first visit, consider starting with Issue #1 to get some of the campaign setting and character backstory.
In Issue #3, the heroes seek the final pieces of the puzzle behind Tom Wood murdering former police commissioner Thaddeus Kozer, in part because of the appearance of magical shadow monsters during what was supposed to be a less violent confrontation. Unfortunately, after they get their answers, they also get attacked by the superhuman mercenaries known as Halo Force!
