The Hedge WizardSlang Design is proud to announce New Villains: The Hedge Wizard, our second PDF-only supplement for Base Raiders. Get your copy today!

Product Description: An occult serial killer gains power with each murder, using his victims to fuel dark ritual magic. But, instead of humans, the Hedge Wizard hunts supernatural beings, taking their power as his own. No one knows what drives the dark mage or his ultimate goal. It’s only a matter of time before he becomes a danger to humans as well. Someone will have to stop him before he becomes too powerful.

The Hedge Wizard is a new villain for Base Raiders. He is a dangerous foe in battle, using stealth and a powerful enchanted dagger to take down foes before they know what hits them. He can also craft temporary magical items that can provide him with nearly any superpower, making him an incredibly versatile antagonist. He makes an excellent addition to any campaign, as he can fight an entire team of heroes by himself. The Hedge Wizard’s background is simple enough that it can be customized to fit in any existing campaign. Use him as a mastermind or the main henchman of another villain or even just as a single encounter in an abandoned base.

This PDF contains a full write up of the Hedge Wizard. It includes his full stats and powers, his tactics and weaknesses, and a scenario seed featuring the Hedge Wizard as an antagonist. You can buy it at DrivethruRPG or at our web store.

Agent Grayson is the perfect new villain for any Base Raiders campaign. Whenever a group of heroes run afoul of the law, Grayson is there. He can arrest characters for breaking the law or take everything they own, because who will believe a criminal over a decorated cop? His superpowers make him a deadly enemy in battle and heroes don’t kill cops, even dirty ones. Stopping Agent Grayson will require more than brute force. Clever heroes can use Grayson’s ego and greed against him, but it won’t be easy…

Story: The Scrap Man

The Scrap ManThis explains the backstory of Pilgrim, one of the NPCs listed in the Rogue’s Gallery. Thanks to Danny Morgan for writing it!

“Don’t be late, Pilgrim. I need you here at midnight, not one second later.”

The face of Adam Conroy, a.k.a. the Black Templar, filled the giant screen dominating the workshop of Ray Hooper, a.k.a. The Pilgrim.

“No problem. Got a few errands to run late afternoon, but I’ll be there on time. Well, maybe a couple of seconds late. Maybe ten seconds? Yeah, let’s live dangerously!”

“I’m serious!”

Ray realized that the Templar had just let a trace of actual human emotion creep into his voice. That was…unsettling.

“Okay! Just joking, I’ll be there. You know I will.” Ray frowned at the screen. “Hey, er, is everything alright?”

“No. No, it isn’t.”

Black Templar looked down for a long moment. Wait, was he…shaking?

“What? What is it?” Ray was worried now.

“I‘m not confident that this line is secure. I’ll fill you in when you get here.”

Black Templar leaned into the camera.

“I’m counting on you. We’re all counting on you. Don‘t be late.”
