In order to create an organisation the GM can either assign a set amount of points or allow the characters to use their XP points to buy what they need.
| 1. HQ Location | |
|
The first thing to consider in building a base is where is it located? A base
might be in a city, or it might be located on the outskirts a safe
distance from the city. The base could be some distance from major cities
and towns. Such a location provides more privacy but makes the base less
accessible.
Of course, the base could be even more distant: deep underground or underwater, or hidden away in a distant place like Antarctica or Tibet. It might not even be on Earth, located in orbit, on another planet or even in a distant galaxy. Generally speaking, hero bases tend to be closer to the people the heroes work to protect, and are accessible to the public in some way. Some heroes prefer to keep a low profile and don't publicize the location of their base but they remain close to places where they're likely to be needed. Villain bases are usually hidden or located in distant places where they can't easily be found or attacked. Multiple types may be combined. |

| 20 | A pocket or adjutant dimension. |
| 2. Structure and Size | |
|
Once
the location of the base is chosen, ask what is its structure? Is it some
fairly ordinary structure like a house, mansion or office building, or is
it something more elaborate like a castle or underground complex, or even
an orbiting satellite, moon base or Dyson sphere?
The GM should consider the abilities and resources of the owners of the base. Could they create or acquire such a base? The designer of the base (the player or GM) may wish to draw a map of the base to get a better feel for the structure and layout, as well as what other features might go into the base. What is your headquarters is made of? Combinations may be used, such as Armoured Steel with a Wooden exterior for disguise. |
