Dispatch RPG

SDN in Dispatch stands for the Superhero Dispatch Network.

What the SDN is:

The SDN is a central command and communication hub that monitors emergencies across the city and assigns heroes to respond. Think of it as a 911 center, but instead of police or firefighters, it directs superpowered individuals.

Purpose:

• Tracks ongoing crimes, disasters, and threats.
• Chooses which heroes are sent to handle each situation.
• Manages hero availability, personalities, rivalries, and skillsets.
• Keeps the city’s superhero operations organized and legally controlled.

Why it exists:

• The city’s heroes used to act independently, which caused:
• Collateral damage
• Public distrust
• Chaos in crisis responses
• So the SDN was created to professionalize and regulate superhero intervention, much like a government emergency agency.

Theme:

• The SDN is Half workplace bureaucracy Half superhero command center Filled with office politics, personal drama, and power hierarchies It shows the superhero world from behind the desk, not out on the streets.

The Red Ring is:

• A powerful criminal organization made up of enhanced supervillains.

• Their members have augments — implants that boost or give them superpowers.
