good fight’. This guide came about
because of my buddy James Carpio
from the new TSR (and Tales from
the Fallen Empire). He was looking
for a game system to use for a super-
hero game he wanted to run. I sug-
gested G-Core PRIME and he pointed
out that there were really no long
term campaign rules and hero devel-
opment options. So I asked James for
some suggestions to help me see
what he was talking about. While we
had rules for SPECIAL FOCUSES,
James had other great suggestions
that weren’t in G-Core PRIME or ANY
of the previous editions. So I set out
to make this cool G-Core Campaign
Resource!

Character Growth in a Campaign

If you have ever read a comic you
know that things aren’t just cookie
cutter simple. Life is complex, even
more so for the hero who goes out in
public and fights crime. This even ap-
plies to the covert strike teams (CST)
that have to cover their butts and
tracks. The G-Core Campaign Re-
source is a tool that Game Masters
use to help grow the characters
across different spectrums. This prod-
uct discusses the SOCIAL impact cre-
ated by the hero. It also covers SPE-
CIAL FOCUS advancement and crea-
tion of POWER STUNTS. It offers
rules for increasing STATS and
POWER Ranks, along with acquiring
new powers as the game moves
along. And lastly, it provides AFTER-

SOCIAL
As heroes save people there is a good
chance that someone saved will have
serious pull, be it high society or the
criminal underground. But these indi-
viduals will feel a sense of ‘owing’ to
the hero. And as a hero, it’s good to
have contacts and gain favor, espe-
cially if things go seriously wrong
later on. As your G-Core game pro-
gresses it’s important to keep track of
who the players have interaction with
along the way. Are they making al-
lies? Are they making enemies? Are
they stacking up favors owed to them
or favors they owe to others? And it’s
not just saving people. Heroes can
get on the radar of crime syndicates,
law enforcement, mega corporations,
military and terrorists. Having any of
these as an ally can be extremely
useful, but having one of these as an
enemy can be deadly to both the hero
and anyone associated with them.
Any time a hero hits an organization
directly or indirectly there might be
consequences to consider. While the
hero may make an enemy with one,
they might also be making an ally
with another.
For every five people a hero saves,
roll on the following table to see if
they gain an ally or something worse.
Roll 1d10
1: Nothing
2-5: Gains a contact: The hero can
call on this person for information.
6-8: Gains an ally: When the ‘shit’
hits the fan, the hero can call on
this person to help fight the
good fight.
9: Gains an enemy: This person
didn’t NEED saving. The hero made
them look bad and this has made for
a very unhappy camper. This person
3
Vincent "The Evil DM" Florio (Order #12592221)
will work to undermine the hero, all
the while hiding under the guise of
a friend.
10: Gains a stalker: This person
is obsessed with the hero in an
unhealthy way. They will follow
the hero everywhere and try to
gain as much personal information

How old is this person?
Roll 1d10
Take the number rolled and mul-
tiply by 10. This is how old the
person is. If you get something
like a 10 year old Lawyer, it
means this kid is SUPER smart,
probably an internet sensation.
How important is this person,
really.

 G-CORE CAMPAIGN RESOURCE
SPECIAL FOCUS
As characters progress through any
campaign they are likely to improve
at things they practice or use daily.
This includes power use skills and
‘power stunts’. Each character has
raw powers. As they hone their ability
to use these powers they pick up on
little tricks. Maybe instead of a solid
ice blast, they can slick floors or make
ice slides. This requires skill to do.
And the more you do it the better you
get at it. And if you try these tricks
each time you use your power, it’s
pretty clear that you are heading for a
Special Focus based on that type of
use.
The other type of Special Focus ad-
vancement is through training and
schooling. For every level of an aca-
demic degree earned, the character
gets +10 to that academic subject.
Academia is easily broken down:
+10: Associate’s Degree
+20: Bachelor’s Degree
+30: Master’s Degree
+40: PhD
So how do you start building on those
Special Focuses or getting new ones?
Practice makes perfect! Below are the
different rankings for Special Focus
and what is needed to gain a new
one or to advance an old one. This
requires some bookkeeping, but if the
player is serious and wants to ad-
vance, they MUST practice.
*GM NOTE: At any time if the
Game Master feels like the
character has earned a new
Special Focus based on how
well the character did, they
MAY reward a Special Focus. But use
this lightly.

-Alternative: The character
spends a SOLID week training to
gain a +10 for a new Special Fo-
cus. There can be no interruptions
minus eating and sleeping.
Special Focus +20
-Must try to the task untrained
and succeed 20 times. Roll
1d10: 1-8: No Advancement, 9-
10: Character now has that

to gain a +10 to an existing
Special Focus. There can be no
interruptions minus eating and
sleeping.
Special Focus +30
-Must try to the task untrained and
succeed 30 times. Roll 1d10: 1-8:
No Advancement, 9-10: Charac-
ter now has that Special Focus at
+30
-Alternative: The character
spends a SOLID six months
training to gain a +10 to an ex-
isting Special Focus. There can be
no interruptions minus eating and
sleeping.
Special Focus +10
-Must try to the task untrained and
succeed 40 times. Roll 1d10: 1-8: No

-Alternative: The character spends

to an existing Special Focus. There
 G-CORE CAMPAIGN RESOURCE
can be no interruptions minus eating
and sleeping.
*GM NOTE: These only apply to
SINGLE Special Focuses, not bulk
ones like Military or Medicine. The
idea here is to refine and create spe-
cial skill sets to be used with powers,
or workforce skills that can help the
hero along the way. If the player fails
their roll, they must go through the
process again but with a +1 to their
roll. So yes, if the player does the cy-
cle 3 times for a single Special Focus,
they would gain a +3 to their roll. If it
gets too ridiculous with crappy rolls,
the Game Master may intervene and
award the Special Focus.

MAIN STAT ADVANCEMENT
Advancing Main Stats can be very dif-
ficult in G-Core. It requires some MA-
JOR dedication and in some cases,
the Main Stat just can’t/shouldn’t be
advanced. Remember, Main Stats are
supposed to act as a benchmark for
the character’s natural ability. If the
Game Master wants to allow for Main
Stat Advancement here are some
suggestions for each stat.
RUMBLE: The character is a hard-
core brawler, always getting into
hand to hand combat or using melee
weapons. Even with Special Focuses
for specific types, the character is
likely going to get a boost to their
RUMBLE along the way. After six
game sessions where the character is
balls to the wall using RUMBLE they
may gain +1 Rank to their RUMBLE.
This may only happen twice and may
not exceed their natural limit (Normal
humans cannot exceed 30 Rank). No
Rank may ever go past 100 Rank.
AGILITY: They spin, flip, and roll
their way through games. Game Mas-
ters may use the same rule for ad-
vancing RUMBLE or they may allow
the character to train HARD for 6
weeks and give them a +1 Rank to
the character’s AGILITY. The same
limits apply from the RUMBLE ad-
vancement rule.
MIGHT: Characters
who want to muscle
up, need to do
lots of lifting
and push their
limits. For
every 6
weeks are
HARD lifting
 G-CORE CAMPAIGN RESOURCE
and training the character may in-
crease their MIGHT +1 Rank. Keep in
mind human limitations. The training
could also be mission based, where
the character is always deployed and
doing lots of heavy lifting. Again, this
is at the Game Master’s discretion.
The same limits apply from the RUM-
BLE advancement rule.
MOXIE: With exercise comes better
MOXIE. This can be through running
on a treadmill, to swimming laps in a
pool or maybe running around a
track. Just like with MIGHT, for every
6 weeks of HARD training a character
may increase their MOXIE by +1
Rank. As always, keep in mind human
limitations. The same limits apply
from the RUMBLE advancement rule.
SMARTS: It’s really hard to become
‘smarter’ in the sense of basic intelli-
gence. People learn through reading
books and going to school, not to
mention hands on experience. But it
doesn’t really increase the intellect
ceiling. Unlike the Physical Main Stats,
SMARTS may only be increase +1
Rank through HARD study and aca-
demic dedication. Characters that use
their SMARTS a lot during a campaign
and are successful probably are due
for a SMARTS boost. This is com-
pletely up to the Game Master and
the player must be able to justify the
advancement.
PERCEPTION: The mili-
tary tells recruits “Pay
attention to detail”. So
as the service mem-
ber goes through
basic training, their
PERCEPTION im-
proves slowly. The
8
Vincent "The Evil DM" Florio (Order #12592221)
same can happen for the average
person who starts actually ‘paying at-
tention’. If a character does really
well with their PERCEPTION rolls and
tends to really be vigilant about their
surroundings, it’s possible for their
PERCEPTION Rank to increase +1
Rank. This boost is at the discretion
of the Game Master who can make
the final call. It’s up to the player to
keep track of how awesome their
character was when it came to paying
attention. PERCEPTION may only be
boosted twice. It still has the same
limitations as the RUMBLE rule.
SPIRIT: Willpower takes practice.
Resisting temptation and taking con-
trol of one’s mental state is not an
easy task. But it is possible. Charac-
ters that always have to make SPIRIT
saves and succeed should have the
chance to increase their SPIRIT by +1
Rank. This boost is at the Game Mas-
ter’s discretion. The player may try to
justify the increase or maybe the GM
rewards the player for some crazy
SPIRIT saves. SPIRIT may only be
boosted twice. It still has the same
limitations as the RUMBLE rule.

GETTING NEW POWERS
During a long drawn out campaign,
players might want to brew new pow-
ers for their hero. There are many
different ways for this to happen. A
hero who can turn into fire, but can’t
fly, might want to acquire FLIGHT as
a power. Some powers offer easy
power additions. For this to happen,
the Game Master has to agree to it
and only if the hero is using that core
power a lot. If the hero can turn into
fire and only does it once in a game
session, they shouldn’t be asking for
FLIGHT.
Another way to add powers is
through technology, which includes
things like energy bombardment and
drugs. But it also includes magical
means too. Heroes who are desperate
for more powers might make back
room deals with less than reputable
people.
What type of deal did the hero
have to make?
Roll 1d10
1-2: None. The person
helping the hero was just
looking to do good for
the greater good.
3-4: Fanboy! The per-
son helping the hero is
looking for birthday
10
Vincent "The Evil DM" Florio (Order #12592221)
party appearances and autographs in
exchange for the help.
5-6: Business Contract. The hero
must sign a contract and fulfill it or
else run risk of making some danger-
ous enemies and also getting sued for
breach of contract.
7: Garage researcher. The person
has a shopping list of items they
need. The hero will need to procure
them along the way until all items are
delivered. These items could be taken
from criminals or maybe the hero will
need to break the law to get every-
thing. But there are no ‘new’ powers
until the agreement is fulfilled.
8: Demonic Contract. The hero has
sold their soul to a demon in order to
make all of this happen. At some
point the demon will come calling
looking to collect.
9: Government sanctioned. The
hero has been given the opportunity
through a government agreement. In
exchange for this new power the hero
must work for the government for
1d10 years. Afterwards the hero is a
free agent.
10: Crime Syndicate Contract.
The hero is getting these powers with
the help of a major criminal organiza-
tion. In exchange, the hero will look
the other way and also put the heat
on rival organizations. If the hero
doesn’t fulfill the contract then the
criminal syndicate will come after the
hero and the hero’s family. This con-
tract lasts for 1d10
months.

CAMPAIGN REWARDS/
AFTERMATH
The villain is capture or escaped. The
hero has spent the last few hours try-
ing to set things right and do right by
the innocents. But what comes next?
The life of a hero can change in an
instant. Former fans can become bit-
ter haters. Government officials who
once endorsed the hero might very
well put a bounty on the hero’s head,
especially during election season. The
newspaper could run a scathing story
about the amateur hour that the hero
put on. Even more so if there was col-
lateral damage. And friends might
very well distance themselves from
the hero for their own safety.
How friends view the hero now
Roll 1d10
1-6: No change. Friends haven’t
changed their views of the hero.
7-8: Friends are concerned about the
hero’s activities and are pushing for a
change of mission.
9: Friends are stepping away from
the hero out of fear for their own
safety.
10: Friends have turned on the hero
and threaten to expose the hero’s
personal life. Popularity for the hero
drops by -15.
How the public views the hero
now
Roll 1d10
1-6: The public is still on the fence
about the hero.
7-9: The public is rallying be-
hind the hero.
10: The public fears the hero
and wants the hero shut down.
They are likely to throw bottles and
rocks at the hero. Maybe even protest
or riot. Popularity for the hero drops
by -10.
Vincent "The Evil DM" Florio (Order #12592221)
How the press views the hero
now
Roll 1d10
1-4: The press is intrigued by the
hero. Stories written about the hero
tend to be objective and fair.
5-7: The press is intrigued by the
hero. Stories written about the hero
tend to be unfair in presentation, but
not total smearing.
8-9: The press is obsessed with the
hero in a good way. The hero tends
to be the front page story.
10: The press is not impressed by the
hero and writes smear stories every
chance they get. They are out to
destroy the hero’s reputation.
Popularity for the hero drops by -
10.
How the authorities view the
hero now
A: If the hero is government
sanctioned
Roll 1d10
1-6: The government feels they are
getting their money’s worth.
7-8: The government is so im-
pressed it outfits the hero with bet-
ter gear
Example: 10 Rank Uniform/Body
Armor, base of operations with 20
Rank resources…
9: The government is getting second
thoughts. They are getting bom-
barded with phone calls from lawyers.
10: The government has changed
their mind about the hero and has
ordered the hero to turn in their gear
and keys. The hero has also been or-
dered to NOT use their powers or
carry out ‘hero’ activities. Most likely
the government will either try and liq-
uidate the hero or lock them up,
keeping the hero out of the public
eye. Locking up could include things
13
 G-CORE CAMPAIGN RESOURCE
like a ‘vacation’ to a remote island to
the hero being thrown in prison.
B: If the hero is a vigilante
Roll 1d10
1-3: The government is keeping an
eye on the hero, trying to assess if
the hero might be worth recruiting.
4-5: The government wants to ques-
tion the hero about the hero’s activi-
ties.
6-7: The government wants to recruit
the hero.
8-9: The government has issued an
arrest warrant for the hero. Vigilantes
are not good for business.
10: The government has dispatched
a ‘wet works’ team to eliminate the
hero.
And what about everyone else?
So is the hero making friends or ene-
mies from afar? Every mission in pub-
lic could bring the hero to the atten-
tion of possible allies or enemies. A
hero that is looking for exposure
might want o team up with the
player’s character. Or maybe a politi-
cian sees the value in a hero? And
what about that super villain hiding in
the shadows? They might see the
hero as a threat. That means dealing
with that hero before trouble comes
knocking for the villain.
Roll 1d10
1-3: Nothing
4-7: Pick up an ally
8-10: Picking up a foe
Picking up an ally
Roll 1d10
1-3: No one.
4: A corporation. A big busi-
ness sees dollar signs in offering lo-
gistical support to the hero. The hero
will receive backing and gear based
14

on the corporation’s resources.
- How much money does this cor-
poration have?
Roll 1d10
-1-5: Decent resources (20 Rank)
-6-8: Extraordinary resources (30
Rank)
-9-10: Fantastic resources (40 Rank)
5-6: A citizen. This is a person that
works in the shadows to help the
hero.
7: Sidekick. This person wants to be
a hero some day, but they need guid-
ance. They see the hero as the per-
fect mentor. The Game Master rolls
up a sidekick as an NPC.
8: Politician. A local politician has
taken a liking to the hero. They will
help provide logistical support as they
can.
9: Police. A police officer or detec-
tive has taken to the hero. They will
offer tips and leads to help the hero
bring down organized crime and cor-
ruption.
10: VILLAIN. The best ally can be
a future enemy. This villain has de-
cided that it would be smart to team
up with the hero for sinister rea-
sons. The villain might not openly be
a villain, but either way they are up
to something VERY bad.
Picking up a foe
Roll 1d10
1-2: No one.
3: A corporation. This business sees
the hero as a threat and is deter-
mined to take down the hero. They
might make their own hero or a villain
to carry out this task. Either way they
are determined to see the hero fail.
Motivation could be anything from
collateral damage to a facility to the
death of an employee.
- How much money does this cor-

poration have?
Roll 1d10
-1-5: Decent resources (20 Rank)
-6-8: Extraordinary resources (30
Rank)
-9-10: Fantastic resources (40 Rank)
4: Hero. The city isn’t big enough for
two heroes and this other hero is de-
termined to get rid of the competi-
tion. This could be through a hero
face off to downright dirty tactics. But
in the end, someone is probably go-
ing to get hurt, go to jail or get killed.
5-6: Criminal. This is a person that
sees the hero as a future threat. They
will start researching more about the
hero and prep for that moment when
the two cross paths.
7: Police. The police don’t like it
when a hero works their turf. It’s not
good for job security. It’s likely that
the police will dig into the hero’s past
looking for dirt.
8: Newspaper editor. The hero is
pushing all the wrong buttons with
the newspaper’s editor and that
means lots of negative press. The edi-
tor might even go as far as hiring
‘threats’ to pit against the hero in
hopes of humiliating the city’s favorite
crime fighter.
9: Politician. Without the enslaved
masses of poor and the explosions of
crime, no one can have a career as a
politician. This person is looking to
shut the hero down for political gain
and will pull local favors or resources
to make it happen.
10: Villain. Somebody has
their eye on the hero. That
means that the villain is close
and looking to strike first. It
also means friends and family
could be in danger, without the hero
even knowing it!
