Interestingly, it hes often been commented how closaly the DNAgents comic book resembles the actvtiee of © superhero role playing game. Even keeping thi in mind, | found the translation from Eome book to RPG surprisingly easy. My fist stab at it warn ay article for Differne Worlas magazine.

Together they function the offical, authorized DNAgents RolePlaying Game, The come. master can run adventures for his players that take place in the world 1 the “DNAgents Dynaty,” the world of the DNAgants, or he ean use ‘the moterialgontained hersin to supploment an already existing Villains ‘and Vigilantes campaign. tn either ease its suggested thatthe GM avai himself of the DNAgents and Crossfire comic books currently being published by Eclipse. They are a constant wellepring of characters, Piotline, and concepts that are Indlapennible as nid in running & DNAgents campaign, asicaly, there ate three ways in whieh the GM and his players ‘can ute this book 1). Tho payers ean play the roles of the DNAgents themselves, First, of course, they should read the chapter on the ONAgents and ‘cide hich ones trey would bast be abe to role play. Optional, the GM can assign ehoracters based upon what personality and set of powers best fit that particule player Te ie recommenced thatthe players atleast havea passing familia ity with the DNAgents comic s0 that the ployars would know any treral informetion sbout the world that their characters would know In this sort of campaign, the GM could begin the game with the crign of the DNAgents and continue to run adventures based on the events of the coms or he could start his campaign where the come leaves off and come up with new adventures al his own. The DNAgents ‘also work very well with eny of the adventures FGU eurentty publisher forthe Villains and Vigilantes roleplaying same system, 2) Possibly the players could create the on brand new characters [DNAgents. Boing the second phase of the Biotype Project, the cha ‘acters might even have been programmed with the personalities and ‘memories of the players Naturally, this would. make roleplaying = Snap 36 wall 3s continuing the V&V tradition of the players plaving ‘themselves with superpowers. This starting setup is rocommendad for 3 group of players who are unfamiliar with the DNAgents comic 3 thew characters acwally begin thelr Wot at the start of the game Hence, players can larn about the new wore around them a litte it "This sort of campaign works best with @ GM who runs new adv tures But it it oooanonolly fon to put the players through one of the adventures from the DNAgents comic book. Aftecwards, tha GM can five the comic book to the players and have them rea it to compare their performance. to that of the rel heroes of the story. Als, the [WAgents themiolves ean meke an occnsionsl appeorance ae nom player charoctors After all, with this eet. up, they are sort ofthe older brothers and estar of th players. '3) The GM can jus run 2 standard Villains and Vigilantes comosion swith the players playing thet own character, Thi is probably the ony Biternative for the gamemaster who is curently running an on-going tarpaign, but itis algo the easiest to ret up, Here the GM is more likely to draw upon the DNAgent’ enemies to put UP appinst hie own playarcharacter suporhoroes and run his own adventures, But, the [DNAgents can be the occasional uoststas asthe allies of the player characters, or possibly. thoir competitors. [Example the President ‘wants the Protectors to recover a missing space shutti, but there they fencounter the DNAgents who have been assigned to recover it or Matix and help Keap an illegal experiment they conducted erat (Get the idea?) While such 0 situation may lead to @ confrontation, the GM should present the DMAgents as basiealy ‘go0d guys’ and possible frends of ‘the player-charecters. A mutual tesmup 10 take on some powerful ‘common menace would alsa make an exeting adventure Im any case, ifthe GMI running a eampaign that i going to toke place in the ONAgents Dynasty, thon he should strive to\maintan the ‘pneral atmosphere ofthe comic Bok. “Tha world of the ONAgent 8 ploce very similar to that of present day reality, with 8 fow distinctive eiffeonces. is 0 world of highly advanced scientific research conducted in secret, hing elosea door.

To create the DNAcents required the expenditure of billions of dollars to finance ‘one ofthe largest scientific development projets in histor. "The process began by making living organisms based upon the cell struetuees of various ‘gpnetic parents’ At the time of conception, advanced bioengineering techniques were wied to make precise. and poetic alterations to their ONA. codes, producing combinations Wirtally impossibie to achieve through natural Breeding. Throvgh these alterations, the organism wore implanted with the potential for pefied powers and abilities. They ware supplied with a fluorocarbon bbesed solution through their circulatory systems. and. provided. on ‘oxygenated and highly energized environment, The orgenioms wore then given repeated rachation teatments using the rare mineral, Rogen fratum.

Its application in any other type of ‘ireraft would be highly impractical, and without Viasovs supervision, Just about impossible Each angine wsighe over ten tone and has a Structual Rating of 18 Each ean absorb 100 points of damage before being disabled, and 400 points are required to demolen one. 6G: Rocket Exhaust Cone: Piaced 10 channel rocket exhaust harmlessly SCALE 16 ‘out of the leg, Structural Rating is 16 an itis specifically built to be het resistant (counts os Adeptation defense aginet heat flame attacks) Rocket Exhaust does 2420 damage per engi. HH: Exhaust Seraan: Installed primarily to keep foreign objects rom Cogging the rocket exheust cone os Mogo-Man walks. Heat resistant {end reinforced to support Meso Man's weight, Structural Rating ~ 18 Special Note: Wile eolly reachable by accets hatches, the entire interior machinery of the arm and lege are coated with a ferrofluise olution fa magnate liquid which sticks to metal, used foe permanent Ibrieation and 0 prevent corrosion), Although handyips and smal {epair patforme abound inside the eras and Jeg, nothing seems t0 be able to keep the ferrofluids from getting on these as well. Hence, the inside ofthe are and lags areas sick a ce, ‘Anyone moving sbout inside the sms and legs of Mega Man while it im operation must make an Agility save on 1420 once per action it the character intends to move on thet action, Ifthe roll fal, then thot character must save versus Aglity on 14100 to avovd a ‘mishap. ‘The GM clctaen whet the nature of the mishap isto be.
