Anyone made any changes.

Judge Shaw

I know this maybe heresy to some people, but I thought I would ask. I am preparing a solo (one player) campaign which I hope to start in the coming weeks, and have be making some changes to the continuity of the Dredd universe. And I was wondering if anyone else has done so as well?

The biggest departure is that my game follows what occured in the new movie Dredd. So, my 2124 looks like this:

-Chief Judge Ayola is in charge of the of the Council (Ayola being the real last name of the actress who played the role.
-Judge Hereshy is still with Street Div.
-Judge Anderson is a new Full Eagle member of Psi Div.
-The Klegg look like the Ram Python race from "Battlelords", and not bipedal Alligators.
-The Order of Freeplumbers (along with a number of other illegal organizations) were wiped out in the Shadow War of 2122. The Evocati and Hellfyre Club being the two most powerful organizations left standing. As a Freemason myself I just could not let this one stand. :wink:
-Mutation is based more on suble birth defects (ie no arms growing out the top of peoples heads).
-I will be designing the Dark Judges along the lines of Demons in Supernatural. In the MC-1 world they look like black smoke and possess people (the only way they can interact physically with this universe). In their home dimension they still look as they do in books.
-There are a series of new narcotics on the streets (Black Lace, Glass and Slo-Mo.)

I know pretty much everyone of these trashes alot of the classic background, but I am aiming more for a dark gritty story line and less of a satire.

I welcome questions, comments and critiques (constructive ones please.) And would like very much to hear of any changes anyone has made to make things more interesting in their games.
 
Well I set mine in Sector 301 so there is plenty of story but also plenty of emtpy space.

As for the history, I play with people who now squat diddly, so I dont really have change much to appease anyone. as things pop up I explain them.

I guess the only real change I've made is that most judges run in groups of at least 2. Like regular cops almost.
 
I've kept my campaigns so close to canon I've altered the RPG material which doesn't follow it fit! Plenty of scope for alternative time lines though..different timelines exist where Dredd has been killed by his enemies are shown in the HelterSkelter comic strip story. Due to spin off-stories and a variety of writers, the Dredd universe has conflicting details anyway... The current state of Mega City Two being a prime example..rebuilt by Hondo City in a Chopper strip..still, apparantly, a nuked out wreckage in more recent Dredd strips.
 
Given the recent disaster in Mega City One, I will probably put adventures set post 'Day of Chaos' on hold. I need to see just what happens to the Judge system, the surviving citizens and the size of the Meg itself.
