The Evil Genius Store

Created by Evil Genius Games

The Evil Genius store carries our flagship product - Everyday Heroes TTRPG - based on d20 Modern, built on 5e. It also pre-sells our first 8 Cinematic Adventures - Pacific Rim, Kong: Skull Island, Highlander, Escape from New York, Total Recall, Rambo, Universal Soldier, and The Crow. We currently don't have shipping prices entered for physical rewards in BackerKit. We plan to wait until closer to fulfillment to enter & charge you for the physical items on your survey to get the most accurate/fair fulfillment prices. We will update backers after entering those shipping prices before we charge you in BackerKit.

Inside Look: Classes From The Crow - Part 2
almost 2 years ago – Wed, Oct 26, 2022 at 11:15:43 PM

Hello Evil Backers,

We thought we'd share a little more about the Crow Cinematic Adventure. In the module, we do our best to show the expansiveness of the world.  We saved the best update for last. Today, we're going to explore the main class of the system: The Reborn.

The Reborn Class

Artist: Ines Diaz Munoz

While many of you think of Eric Draven or Ashe Corvin as the quintessential Reborn, we've expanded the world immensely. No longer will the undead be revisited by just one death spirit - the Crow - but by a pantheon of spirits.

Artist: Wilson Andres Carreno Guevara

Yes, you can be bonded to a variety of death spirits including The Mastiff, The Butterfly, The Moth, The Snake, The Spider, and the Cat. 

Sample Death Spirit

The Black Mastiff Mask

Black Mastiff

Black mastiffs are said to be omens of death, but in truth, mastiff spirits appear only as guardians of the dead, protecting cemeteries as well as the gates to the underworld. If you are a fellow guardian, and you cannot rest because your charges are in danger, a mastiff spirit may bring you back to protect those close to you.

  • Souls. Mastiff spirits choose the souls of protectors who cannot pass on because of the worry they have for whoever it is they protected in life, especially those that died protecting their charges.
  • Quests. The quests bestowed by mastiff spirits are usually straightforward, but often larger than protecting only those close to you. They might ask that you make the community at large safe from some threat, or require that you watch over the innocent for much longer than other spirits might.

Sample Powers

  • Bloodhound. As an action, you can spend 1 focus to gain the tracking abilities of a hound. For the next hour, you have advantage on ability checks made to track, follow, locate, or notice anyone. This includes asking for information about a person’s whereabouts.
  • Pack Hunting. As a bonus action, you can spend 1 focus to move up to your speed. One ally that can see or hear you can then spend their reaction to move up to their speed. During a foot chase, you and that ally instead gain advantage on Strength (Athletics) checks until the start of your next turn.

The Reborn Class

Artist: Ines DIaz Munoz

You are not truly alive, yet you walk the world once more. You have been returned to the world of the living by a spirit of death to fulfill some purpose, right some wrong, or take your vengeance. This spirit accompanies you on your quest, granting you its gifts to accomplish your task. Only when your mission is complete can you finally rest.

The Reborn is extremely difficult to put down, unable to truly die so long as their spirit ally is unharmed. They can reduce the damage they take, and recover from injuries they do take, so long as they have the focus to spend. They also have a variety of additional supernatural powers based on the spirit that has brought them back. At early levels, they will have to carefully decide how to spend their focus, while at higher levels they can wield their many powers much more freely.

Sample Talent

  • Reborn Body. Granted at level 1. Though animate, you are not truly alive. You count as a monster (undead) instead of a person (human), but you appear mostly alive. Your heart doesn’t beat and you are cold to the touch, but your body is restored from injury, rot, and decay, leaving you with only scars from the wounds that killed you.

Sample Power

  • Share Experience. As an action, you can spend 1 focus to share in an experience another person has had in their past as if you were the one experiencing it. This takes only a few seconds for you, even if the experience itself was originally much longer. In order to use this power, you must either touch a person’s eyes (they can be closed) or touch an object that was or is important to that person. If you touch a person’s eyes, you can name a specific experience to share, or you can choose to take the most intensely emotional experience the person has had in their life. If you touch an object, you view the most intensely emotional experience the person had concerning or near that object.

As you can see, we work with the best artists to ensure the highest quality roleplaying experience. If you haven't picked up this Cinematic Adventure, now's the time. You can visit our preorder store here.
