BASTARD BRIGADE: a 5E hunt for Nikola Tesla & H.P. Lovecraft

Outlaws, Serial Killers, and Time Travel: The world's last hope has come in the form of the worst-of-the-worst of history's criminals.

The Suicide Squad meets Young Guns.

Heroic adventurers aren't the answer to every problem. Sometimes, extreme situations require extreme measures… or extreme individuals. The sort of individuals who some would call infamous... villains.

That's the charm of the BASTARD BRIGADE. This group of murderers from different points of time in the past, assembled and trained by the cybernetic Harold Holt, undertake high-risk covert operations with the promise of being returned to their own time in exchange. And we do mean high-risk. Regardless of their abilities and talents, every member of the Brigade is expendable—it’s expected that most will not return.

Ned Kelly was the first recruit of Director Holt, becoming field leader of the BASTARD BRIGADE. When all of time and space is attacked by Nikola Tesla, H.P. Lovecraft, and The CACODAEMONIACAL SOCIETY, Holt and Kelly use alien technology to pluck history's fiercest killers from their timelines and force them to defend the world.

A group of history's worst killers with a license to take drastic action in the name of saving the world? What could probably go wrong?
