Godlike: The War From Here, Part 1 -- Hell for Breakfast (Patreon)

"Hell for Breakfast" is a scenario for GODLIKE,  our RPG of superpowered commandos in World War II. You are larger than life...but the war is larger than you.  

The players’ troops are a hodge-podge of misplaced Talent soldiers. Transport planes carry the 82nd and 101st airborne divisions to the Contentin peninsula, along with 115 Talents in two-man or three-man teams as support. The All Americans of the 82nd and the Screaming Eagles of the 101st are to protect the Utah Beach landings from counterattack and to establish river crossings at Carentan. The Talents are to provide antitank support until armor came ashore and protect the paratroopers from so-called “Übermenschen,” Nazi Talents.

Plans change. 

Hard winds, poor visibility, deadly flak, and Übermenschen interference scatter the planes, and some drop their sticks miles off course. Few go farther afield than the players’ plane: Flight 48, Serial 7, 435th Troop Carrier Group, bound for Drop Zone D with 3rd Battalion, 501st Parachute Infantry Regiment. Severe flak damages the plane and sends it yawing east. The pilot hits the green light at 0136, right on schedule. Its 12 Talents file out into battering winds at a crazy angle. As they float down, they watch the plane hit the ground in a fireball. They'll have to find the war for themselves.

Download "Hell for Breakfast" here, including maps and handouts. If you play it, let me know how it goes. I'd love to tweak it based on playtester experiences. And play the sequel, "The Road to Carentan."
