From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Road Kill is a 1991 role-playing adventure for Champions published by Hero Games/Iron Crown Enterprises.
Road Kill is an adventure in which the heavy metal band Road Kill are supervillains looking for revenge. The book begins with a brief introduction followed by "Rock & Revenge," a short adventure featuring a combat scene with a collapsing building and innocent civilians to save. The main campaign consists of linked adventures starting with "Crimes against Music," where the player characters must save the pop group Young Virile Teens from execution by Road Kill. After this scenario, Road Kill embarks on an illegal Hostage Tour, leading to the "Awesome Amp" scenario involving the theft of a sonic dampener from Wave-Tech Inc. The final scenario, "Ballad of Control," features a climactic clash where heroes must stop Road Kill from using a sonic mind control device to incite their fans to rampage. The adventure section concludes with ideas for further adventures.
The six members of Road Kill are:
- Heavy Metal: Lead singer with sonic powers.
