Nova Corp? I think you've been watching too much Guardians of the Galaxy. :)
I actually really like this idea, and I've considered implementing similar into my games. Right now, our campaign is focused on extractions, so it will be a while.

Considering I wrote that back in 2008 and my original file says Lone Star, no not recently. I was a big fan of The New Warriors though, so it's a fair cop.

Like these, since our group has been (and currently are) running bounties I might send this to her, granted we're in Denver around 2063 I think. She has an old 3 or 2 ed source book for Denver she has been using for inspiration, but game play wise is 5th.

FYI, the canon leader of the Halloweeners is a person named Nightmare. I honestly don't know a lot about Nightmare beyond seeing the name mentioned as the leader of the Halloweeners. I would probably consider changing Smiling Jack to something else... maybe a former member of the Halloweeners?
-
Or leader of a Halloweeners spin-off group.

Never worried about it to much because the Holloweeners go through leaders like Taylor Swift goes through boyfriends.
But if you want to use it just use Nightmare. At the time I had a plot about a new Holloweener's leader.

You might also consider seriously reducing the bounties. If a majorly powerful toxic shaman is worth only a quarter of a million, there's no way in hell KE is going to pay out a full million for the head of some scummy street gang, no matter what he's done - because no matter what he's done or how public he's gotten, he isn't going to match the nastiness of a toxic shaman, or the publicity of KANE!!! (Sorry, the all-caps and triple exclamation points was required by law.) I might just knock a place off for everyone over 25k, and reduce the rest by 50%.
-
Oh, I think you mean place marker, maybe?
But yeah, unless he is also highly initiated toxic mage, a mill is a lot of money in 5th. And, no fool would run against KANE!!! I would rather hunt toxies, safer too!

I tend to run more Ocean's 11 type games. They are high risk high reward.
And never trust a Johnson even if it is KE. ;D
Digging up my notes I'll give you an idea why the amounts were so high.
The Holloweeners had grabbed a couple of teenaged girls were very "abusive" to them over the course of a few days and then cut them up to die in an alleyway. Problem is that the girls were the daughters of an couple officials from DC reviewing how Federal money was spent. Given all the issues that area faces and the inability of KE to protect people ( even in downtown and VIPs relatives) that it might just be best to place all of Seattle under martial law... For good.
No KE, no LS... All law enforcement would be MPs. KE has convinced them that they really shine as detectives, better then MPs would be at least, and that they always get their man. But they are being summoned to the Hill in a few months to "discuss" that. KE needs to nail Jack before they go before the committees.
Problem is old Jack got word of what was going down and skipped town. Or maybe he didn't. No one knows, or at least they aren't telling KE. KE isn't sure that the politicians have the pull to make good on their threat, but they really aren't sure.
So the clock is ticking. The committees meets in 2 months on Capital Hill to discuss "The Seattle Security Issue". There are about 10 teams all scouring the area looking for Jack.
So can the team find, capture/kill Jack in the 2 month time frame AND survive all the other teams who are also looking for him???

I've attached a couple of bounties that I've dropped into my games; basically I've tweaked FBI wanted posters and can use them for short adventures whenever I need a "filler game" or I'm a couple of people short for a session. They are Lonestar specific, but can be tweaked for KE, Minuteman or any other security outfit. I've got about 140 posters than I can quickly build a mission around - if anybody wants some, let me know.
-
Those are well-created sidslick. Isn't that last picture one of the Menendez brothers? :P
One thing I noticed though - your posters all use the United States when it should be the UCAS. Still, they're easy as hell to tweak as they're Word files. Could I get you to send those to me? I'd love to use them.
-
Oh, really? Darn it, I though I'd caught all the United States references - must be going blind in my old age!!!! Like you say, they are easy enough to tweak for your specific needs. Can you PM me an email address, and I'll fire them over to you......?
-
Zip file, Google Drive, global sharing, link. :D
-
Dropbox link with bounties in. Enjoy!

There are no missions attached to these; it is purely for the bounty sheets so that GMs can create their own that are suitable for their own campaigns. Tweak away! :)

Mind if I help?
Aladdin Ryan
Mediterrean Male Human,
Wanted for: Pogroms targetted at SINless. attacks on philantrophy organizations in barrens and ork underground as well as Barrens Contacts. "State" sponsored terrorism
Notes: Wageslave turned vigilante after a Sinless transient hassled him for money after a stressful week. Used funds to organize a series of wageslave flash mobs to attack bums and "freethinkers". Normally KE will let this slide but the image of a fascist pro corporate policlub is making people.nervous and hampering our policing efforts.
Bounty: 5000 For capture and location of known wageslaves subverted.
-
250k? Please. 5,000 at best.
