Decadence Decade - Damnation Decade II

[Kendermage]

Note: This is something I was thinking about earlier tonight. It isn't fleshed out yet except for a rough (very rough) idea.

The heroes were successful at stopping the end of the world at the end of the Damnation Decade. It is now the mid 80's and most of the world has put the turbulent events of the 70's behind them. It is a decade of decadence. A famous western actor is now President of the United states. A cold war exists between the West and the Collectivist powers. The forces which nearly pushed the world to destruction in the 70's aren't gone. They are still alive and well in the 80's. They are starting to stir again, and once more heroes must step up to prevent the end of the world. Enter the Decadence Decade.

That's all I have for right now. I'm still working on ideas. Blame VH1's 8 Days of the 80's for this.

I would be delighted to see Decadence Decade arrive. I'm running several DD oneshots with our group, and they're having a ball.

Has it really been that long since I looked at this? 8 months. I think I'll dig out my notes and perhaps throw together a short pdf that might be able to help you.
