Greetings Super-Humans!

GM Richard aka Justisaur here, posing as R. Race Rasmusen, Editor in Chief of the Mystery Times.  The Mystery Times is a newspaper set in an alternate universe where there aren't currently any superheroes, though those appearing in various comic books may make an appearance in the Mystery Times.  The Mystery Times is an analog to The Daily Bugle, The Globe, etc.

No one is coulrophobic, I hope?

My submissions are close to ready to submit. Beware of the silly ones.

In reply to Manticore (msg # 2):

Okay that's worrying. :D

I have two submissions ready and will try and finish the third soon.

So, how are we doing?

I'm just waiting for people to finish their character(s) and say they're ready.

I might need to advertise, haven't heard back from a couple people, and one that RTJ'd.I'm not sure how many we want, I'd prefer to go small, but attrition can take it's toll on such a game.

I had 13! rtjs over the weekend, unfortunately that's far too many, so I'll have to put people on a waiting list.  I'm going to go with 4 of the rtjs for the moment, hopefully that will net at least 2 players.

Welcome the new players!

Archus
Miles
xenongames
Bravoboy

I've removed the multiple characters and choose one (those those that did that before can still choose those they've already made) as the rules I'm using seems to make pretty playable characters.

I'm looking for around 1 post per day weekdays, which I'll update in the Submissions thread.

Well, thank you and I hope not to disappoint.

Here's the Waiting list in order of next to furthest out:

1. Mystery
2. Spectre
3. soulsight
4. Attrox
5. Prince of Boredom
6. Phantom Mouse
7. Zadian
8. tkolter
9. Xeriph

I just submitted my first proposal. It came out kind of awesome. If the GM is good with it, we can skip the other two.

Hi all, good to be here! Just sent in my submission as well.

All character sheets are unlocked now!

Now to find a Portrait that fits for a Speedball homage.

When/how should we start IC posts?

Dr. Tomorrow here everyone!

Although, Dr. Tomarrow does have a rather cruel tone to it...

"Muwhahahaha!"

*cough!  cough!*  Good guy!  Remember, you're a good guy!

(And I'm looking for a good picture now.)

Post what your character's doing, looking for trouble, trying to find the missing cats or lizard people, investigating the crime wave, having tea or whatever.

In reply to Dr. Tomarrow (msg # 14):

Tomarrow?

To "a soft, fatty, vascular tissue in the interior cavities of bones that is a major site of blood cell production."?

Yes, a typo by the GM, no biggie, he'll fix it sooner or later.  Nothing to concern yourself.

Dr. Tomorrow doesn't have the ability to suck the marrow from your body and use it to build little evil homunculi or anything like that.  :D

It would be a subtle way of announcing some creepy powers but almost nobody realizing it.

Gyre!  Are you a spinning speedster?  If so, cool!

A spinning flyer, speed will come someday... I added flight as a boost to spinning rather than superspeed because it covered movement, "surface running", jumping, etc all in one swoop.  He is kind of a Speedball homage.  I might act like he runs and jumps more than flys at first.

Just about wrapped up, looking forward to meeting you all in-character!

Sorry for the long, self-indulgent IC post. Darien has an active inter dialog. I'm doing this just to establish the character upon introduction and plan on keeping it in check and not being one of "those" players.

Are we all in the same city?  And is it a real city (like New York) or known comic city (like Central City)?

I figured New York since there is a whole Schawarma King write-up.

Hey all, looking forward to interacting with you guys. :)

I'm going to be away tomorrow (Saturday, not the good doctor) through Monday. I'll see you guys then. :)

Until then, Devil Girl!

New York works, I think there's MSH maps for it.  Yes, you're all there.

I know the original inspiration for Devilgirl's picture was Betty Paige, but I can't help but see a demon-sexy Veronica from Archie.

Was Veronica originally based off of Betty?  Hmmm..

Dan DeCarlo was also a pin-up artist and the timing is right.  Plus I've seen pics of Veronica Lodge and Betty Paige side by side and they look like sisters.

Thanks! :)

And actually yes I like the idea of Devilgirl as a demonic (but turned goodish) Veronica. :D

Updated character with background, description, some images.  Also picked a non-costume pick and setup some links on my character sheet to switch back and forth.  Easier to tell when I'm in costume (when I remember to click the link ;) )

Have a good weekend Devil Girl.

The die roller has been kind to me.

I'm going on vacation for 6 days starting wednesday, I'll try to get a post first and last day of vacation, but no guarantees.  I likely won't have internet or phone signal, if I do I'll try to post, but will be short since I'll be on the phone.

Dang, some GMs have all the luck! Enjoy your vaction, boss

Have fun on the vacation GM.

---

While I don't intend it to completely become a cliche superhero vs superhero fight... demon flying toward rally it seems prudent to get there asap.  It will take him a little bit of time to get there so it will likely be obvious the demon isn't raining down fiery death.

Is Devilgirl famous?

Gyre has no fame himself.... at best there were sightings of some "purple blur".  This is his first appearance in broad daylight.

A vacation without internet is no vacation. ;P

Of course I forgot to click on the in-costume image.

Back all, had a great time. :)

I sort of got the impression supers are very knew so Devilgirl is probably off most people's radara and a lot of people who have seen her of heard of her probably assume she's a model or actress doing some weird ad campaign in makeup.

Supers don't exist at the start of the game.  Not to public knowledge at least, obviously some have existed, but maybe only known from the pages of the Weekly World News and myth and legend.

Take RL as it is now, add supers and shake.

I thought I put that somewhere... maybe just in a PM to Devilgirl. Oops.

In reply to R. Race Rasmusen (msg # 40):

Thought I saw something like that in the players wanted post.... not sure.  I put a little "great-grandpa was one of those mystery men" and "experimental/esoteric thingy used to save life as a baby" thing in my background but Gyre's powers didn't kick in until a few months ago and he has had other stuff to deal with than jump/flying around the city.

Whew, talk about timing.  I just had a rough patch this weekend and I'm ready to go, but I'm glad the GM has a vacation!.

Ha... thats one way to get the cliche hero on hero fight ;)

True. :) We might need to wait for the GM to get back to adjudicate!

I've. Got real spotty wifi. Devilgirl takes  no damage due to resistance.

This is going to take a while... Gyre is hard to hit (reflection works on melee too) and hurt but really can't dish out damage (Great is all he has).  Maybe she can punch herself or come to her senses.

Well Gyre could try and outsmart her. Devilgril is under a compulsion to destroy him so if he convincingly fakes his destruction she should snap out of it.

Wow. This week flew past. Sorry for being delinquent in my posts.

I'm back!  I think I picked something up, hopefully just a cold and it'll go away quick.

Hopefully that cold will leave you be shortly.

He is currently concerned with the devil turning on the crowd.  Gyre is pretty sure he can take some punishment for a while... he is hard to hit and tough.  Then playing possum is a good plan... or knocking her into power lines or something.

Almost said that he might not realize you are controlled, supers being new and all, but he is perceptive.

---

Question about reflection.  If he reflects the physical attack, does it reflect the aura or is it two rolls?  I'll just make the two rolls for now.

An aura isn't an attack so can't be reflected.

(was a private question, but good to answer for all):  All powers start out at Great rank, if you haven't put down what rank a power is at, I'm assuming it's at Great.

Do you have an update for my thread or should I just continue along the storyline I've been creating?

Anyone else want to jump in?

Gyre, I hope you're as fast as I think you are! What say we use Mr. Bad-Guy's plan against him?



You should jump in with us :P Dr. Tomorrow seems to be awol and we could use the help.

Too easy. :)

But in order for an Aura to hurt someone they have to be touched; Just standing near someone with an aura doesn't do anything (by default, extras not included).  Doesn't that require an attack and if the attack is reflected it didn't touch me?


He isn't as fast as Devilgirl... but fast enough to go hang out with the ranting guy who thinks he is invisible.  If Devilgirl doesn't have to touch for her aura to hurt, I can make him feel the burn.  At the very least maybe he doesn't have resistance so I can effect him.

Someday I'll develop a "spin others affliction" and they can ride the nausea express :)

Grye, it's a good argument.  The aura surrounds the super I'm assuming at a greater than nill distance.  I'm going to go with it touches you, as light touches the mirror when it bounces off, or a ball being hit from a bat back at a pitcher touches the bat... at least as long as her attack would have hit you.

Darien, I hid an update in the last 'Crime on the Rise!" post, you might have missed it.

Strike that, you have the force bubble, which it's reflected off of, so it doesn't actually touch you, just your bubble.

In reply to R. Race Rasmusen (msg # 57):

Yep, Gyre has a "Elemental Control: Force" bubble that he is spinning and spinning in (well it looks more like a vortex but that is just its appearance).

@Spook Gyre is more hard to hit and hurt than fast.  But Great speed is fast .... just not flash fast.

Am I waiting on you, or is there something I need to resolve?

I don't know about you, boss, but I was kind of waiting to give the others a chance to post. Went ahead and posted anyways :P

I'm just sitting off on another storyline.

Posted, sorry about the delay (work).

@Darien I'd love to help with the guy who needs money... it would allow me to apply my greatest power.  Money!! :)

Darien has no movement powers, so he'll show up at the mayor's office at the speed of plot--whenever the GM says he does. :)

Is everyone (sans Darien) headed somewhere?

In reply to R. Race Rasmusen (msg # 64):

Was waiting for The Spook to say if he can fly or not and hope we can rendezvous at the top of a building.... basically make it hard for the reporters and others to interrupt our discussion.  If he can't fly, maybe Devilgirl can carry him.
This message was last edited by the player at 21:08, Wed 01 July 2015.

In reply to Gyre (msg # 65):

The Spook doesn't fly, and Devil girl's flight is alternate of her aura, so she'd be burning him the whole time.

I haven't had a post from Dr. Tomorrow for more than two weeks, so I'm going to start going through the waiting list for new players.

...Please don't set me on fire.

We can set a rendezvous at the Mayor's steps that night or something - we need to stick around at least until Darien can overhear, no?

Don't worry Devilgirl won't set anyone on fire (though she would appreciate a cigarette.) :)

Coming back so Darien could get involved would be good.  Devilgirl can fly The Spook and we could decide to meet once things calm down a bit or go to central park to talk (plenty of open space and it would take a bit for crowds to gather).  Devilgirl and Gyre aren't exactly subtle flying/bouncing about.

Either way a telepath could find us :)

I only have a range of 7 areas.

In reply to Darien Hooker (msg # 70):

I'll think loudly ;)

Devigirl doesn't think at all but Darien could probably get a loud echo from her mind. ;)
This message was last edited by the player at 23:21, Wed 01 July 2015.

Hey hey, I see we already have a new player added. Welcome aboard, Mystery!

Hmm, I thought Devilgirl had already flown off, or did the press ambush her before she successfully took wing? :)

(Happy to talk to the reporters just wanted to check.)

In reply to Devilgirl (msg # 74):

Ack, sorry long weekend.  I'm back.

Devilgirl, sorry, missed where you said said she flew off.

Its cool, its probably more interesting to have her talk to the press anyway. :)

Where is the big baddie in relation to the henchmen? Farther back? I dont want to get caught in a fire aura attack... fire is my weakness. Also punches. And bullets. Pain in general, really.

Side note - what amazing movie is that picture from?

I think the snake is from the movie Dreamscape with Dennis Quaid (1984)

In reply to Gyre (msg # 78):

He's far to the left and back.  Just outside an office.

Yes, that's Dreamscape.

Waiting on Gyre's response to the thin line attacking him.  I'll post later today if nothing from him.

Posted.  Busy weekend with the family.

Marco!

So we are the first visible/known superheroes in the world, is the intent we go with secret ids, public, government sponsored?  Running away from the press is one thing, from the police another.  No problem being "wanted for questioning" as being able to fly (and touch) certainly makes it hard to catch a person.

As a FYI Gyre can hire lawyers and PR agents for everyone.

Darien needs a doctor... can probably purchase some digression.  Guess the question on that front is: did Darien's psychic blast look like anything visible?  Otherwise he was just a kid who got shot by some criminals and there really isn't any reason to hide.

I usually assume that mental powers are invisible to normal senses. I try to work in subtle cues (like Darien gritting his teeth and saying something) that might let the bad guys identify him as the source, but the casual observer wouldn't necessarily notice.

I'm happy playing it that Darien needs his shoulder patched up (which may take him out of the superheroics for a while). But long-term, it would be good to have a team-based solution. Very long-term, Darien will add psychic healing to his power set.*

* Right now, the entity that gives him his powers is busy keeping Darien alive and curing him of his terminal illness. Once that work is done... and he gets enough experience... they will be able to heal other people. This is, by the way, why the Doctor Cobra plot is very personal to him.

The Spook has a secret identity for now, but I guess it depends on how these first encounters go. The way I see it, the Spook is sort of anti-social and a little paranoid - probably not going to be the first one to volunteer personal information or work for the man, but of course, he'll go where the action is. Also, I'm pretty sure Devilgirl would have a hard time keeping an alter ego.

Yeah Devilgirl could use a little help looking normal if anyone has any ideas there!

Oddly despite being 'recently evil' she's pretty friendly and outgoing. She also feels embarrassed for attacking Gyre. Admittedly she had her brains scrambled at the time but that is sort of embarrassing too.

So where do we want to take the scene from here?

I was thinking that myself - looks like you really do have mind powersa! I suppose we could head to the police station, try tracking the escaped robbers, follow up on the mayor, even go our separate ways... I'm open to just about anything
This message was last edited by the player at 07:01, Fri 31 July 2015.

So do you exchange contact info and go your ways or something?

We seem to be dragging a bit, do we need to montage time passing and get to the next exciting issue?

Darien has no issue giving someone a cell number--a burner phone--where he can be reached. Having a montage is fine as is just some "let's hang out and talk in private" time.

I'd say the Spook is the same - disposable phone number and then off into the night.

Montage and then getting together later would be good.

Been busy getting stuff done at work in preparation for a long vacation.

Likewise been rather busy I'm afraid! Montage sounds good.

Sorry, been a bit busy. A montage sounds like a good way to get things going again.

Now I'm confused. Watts is in LA but we're in NYC?

The breaking news is probably happening in the same city we are in... same mayor name, baddies with 'snake masks' - perhaps we are in the city of "New Angeles"

In reply to Darien Hooker (msg # 95):

Must be a street named Watts, yeah, that's it...

Oh, here it is :)

https://www.google.com/maps/pl...f:0x2bb40d824e33c720

Eep, sorry again for the absences, RL I'm afraid. Looks like I missed the IC conversation.

I do love the media headlines btw!

It is not too late for the IC conversation. Feel free to jump in.

In reply to Darien Hooker (msg # 99):

The Schwarma King thread was meant to be an ongoing thing, not necessarily in sync time wise with stuff on the Front Page.  Somewhere to do more rp & discuss stuff while the action goes on.  It's all experimental though, so however it works out.

Ah then that's my bad

Looks like it's time to clean house.  I'll give people a couple days to respond, but if you haven't posted anything in over a week by Friday I'll consider you out and start contacting people on the waiting list.

The Spook and Darien are safe due to posting more recently.

Back!

Just assume Devilgirl didn't make it to the Schwarma King for reasons. She'll catch up with everyone after we beat the badguys. :)

I'm not much of a crowd controller - should we try a distraction, maybe try luring the snakes away from the hostages?

I doubt we can distract the one's holding the hostages. But we can target them specifically.

It says roll 'em up, here, so I will:

This does not apply to attacks in combat.
Contacts
Contacts are people or organisations that your character is friendly with and who can provide your character with information or help you out in emergencies. These contacts can range from established super heroes to government organisations to military groups or corporations. You can even have super villains or criminal organisations as contacts, although as a super hero you obviously need to be careful how closely you associate yourself with such groups.

Maxwell was an average kid raised by average parents in an average small town. After high school he started welding on the line with all the other average joes trying to make a living. Despite working himself near to death and having no life outside the extra shifts and additional odd jobs, he wasn't getting rich. After they shut down the plant, and he spent half a year trying to find work, things were looking bleak. Moving to the big city, Max thought he might have better options and more opportunities. The school system hired him, as a janitor.
Rather than give up, Max worked hard all night and looked for more work during the day. Answering an advertisement at one of the many "payday loan" establishments, Max was involved in a robbery. The men trying to steal the cash were nervous, twitchy, and probably dangerous. Max raised his hands and backed to the wall, saying, "Ok, no problem here, no need to have a problem here."
The gunman fired, and Max saw red. Only he wasn't seeing blood, he was just mad. He lowered his hands and stepped from the wall towards the gunman. Somebody was shouting "OK NOW YOU TICKED ME OFF!" Max didn't know it was him till he saw the security footage, but he didn't admit it. The gunmen hadn't walked away with the money. The businesses security system didn't show the man at the door (Max had been identified by the employees, but they hadn't seen what happened). It showed a gunman firing at someone who had come in, and man made of living mirror shouting at the men with guns, blinding them with glare, then hooking two fingers of each hand in the front of the gunmen's shirts, and bouncing both of the gunmen off the ceiling.
Eventually, Max figured out he was a mutant of some sort, and decided he could help. Maybe if he did enough good deeds, he could turn his own life around. His code name was uninspired, but he stuck with it because no one else wanted it. Somehow, that was becoming a theme.

Welcome aboard! Hope you like snakes...

But not too much. :)

soulsight, Looks good!  *Poof* soulsight is now Manmirror.  You can pop in whenever you're up for it in the Front Page News!

Popping in at Will, but I don't think he's as funny as people make him out to be.
Except maybe in that Christmas movie about the giant elf, but that had Bob Newhart so everyone looked better.
What was I doing? Oh, yeah.
Manmirror was reflecting on the state of modern entertainment.

I went the long way around, but I got there.

Welcome Manmirror! :)

*checks her hair and lipstick in reflection*

Is it too late to add a limitation to the Transform (Density) to raise it a rank? If it is, could the limitation be that his other powers (reflection and dazzle) will not work when he uses Transform?
I'm asking because at maximum, that would give him decent agility, world class damage resistance, and phenomenal strength. That way, his athletics specialty would shift his lift to Single-Shift... I want to be able to pick up a house!
Oh, and it makes sense that a density change would modify the reflective, and therefore dazzling, nature of his body surface.

In reply to Manmirror (msg # 112):

That's fine, it's early enough your powers aren't set in stone yet (possible pun not intended).

Have a good weekend all! I'm kind of booked for the next 3 days and just wanted to give a heads up in case I end up holding the post rate :P

I've got the next 5 days off!  I'll try to remember to check in and post at least by tuesday, but I have a hard time remembering when my schedule is disrupted.

Sorry, I missed we are back! :)

Is Devilgirl close enough to directly attack Temere or should I think Blast?

In reply to Devilgirl (msg # 116):

You're probably about 3 areas away with some street, Manmirror and some Snake-men, and the police barricade between, you could easily reach him flying, or blast him.

Yeesh... I'm really going to have to stay away from mind controllers in future!

Could I possibly stunt telepathy to counteract the mind control?

That would be good, 'cause otherwise I'll have to stunt the Volvo to counteract mind control.

In reply to Darien Hooker (msg # 119):



Sounds like a plan!

I need to add a laugh track button to my desktop. I keep typing things and waiting for the laugh. It's throwing my timing way off IRL.

http://gifb.in/JLsV

Waiting on The Spook, I'm not sure what he's doing now that he's free of Snake-Men.

I'll assume Manmirror is swatting snakes - but would prefer you roll for that, I'll do it if The Spook posts first.

Oop didn't realize I was holding things up - apologies! Posting shortly

Poke, poke, poke. Anyone here?

We seem to be taking awhile to get any posts.  Should I be changing things somehow?  Any suggestions?  Or is it just RL getting to you?

I was beat last night and didn't post. I'm on a business trip in Paris, so my schedule is all effed up.

Question to group: Whom should Darren Mind Blast next? Snake-man (if so, which one?) or Devilgirl (assuming she does something unkind)?

I'm mostly a once-a-day kind of guy, but I've not got a good grip on the manmirror, yet, so I'm a little slow as I feel my way.

I wouldn't worry about changing anything, Race - I'm just shy about being the first responder :P

Darien, I'd keep trying to free Devil Girl, or try to get a bead on Temere. Hitting him is what released her last time.

See? I could have stunted the Volvo to break the mind control.

Sorry Spook, no offence meant but I am under mind control. :(

Cool! I get to try something new!

I'm afraid I'll be away for the best part of two weeks from Saturday so it might actually make sense to have Devil Girl under mind control (and thus temporarily an NPC) for that time. What do you think R. Race Rasmusen?

(Sorry for springing this at such sort notice but for some reason I'd been convinced I'd already given warning I'll be away.)

I'll NPC Devilgirl until your return (under mind control or not), thanks for the notice!

Poke, poke, poke!

No posts for a couple days, so a reminder to post!

Sorry. Was out of sorts this week.

Holding breath - an average person can hold their breath about 2 minutes without doing much, maybe about 30 seconds while active though. Average Endurance is 6, The Spook's is 30 so call it 5 times as long or 2 and a half minutes while fighting, rounds are about 6 seconds long, so 25 rounds!

In reply to R. Race Rasmusen (msg # 136):

Hot dang!

Darien, have we actually been introduced in-game? I'm running out of things to call you besides "the young man."

Yeah, I don't know. We've skipped over a lot of the interpersonal discussions and introductions.

In reply to Darien Hooker (msg # 139):

Kind of, not exactly.  That's kind of what the Schwarma King thread is for, to do all that stuff while the action goes on on the front page.

And someone left the Schwarma King...

They can always come back in.  I'm trying to think of something to get some more movement on background/rp stuff.  I just had an idea, I could make an "Interviews" thread where Nina has everyone on the morning show.  Or something sort of like the cut-aways to a private video box some of the reality shows have.  Thoughts?

I read recently it's a good idea to use an OOC thread for planning and meta-discussion on combat etc.  So feel free to do that too. (Really feel free to do whatever you want anyway. :) )

I'll try to post something at least here every day I'm on if I don't post in one of the other threads. Just so you know I'm around and paying attention, I'll try to remember to put in some clarification questions for what's going on in the FP, as there were a couple things I wasn't quite sure about last time and just barreled through anyway.

I'm also still working on getting one more player, the last one on the waiting list I contacted,  contacted me back he was interested but then hasn't said anything else in quite a while, so I'll contact the next one.

Someone left the Schwarma King? :P

I wouldn't mind a side thread for box interviews - I've never been in a game with something like that, and it could be fun! What we really need is a place to rally for some down time to do the meet n' greet.

Welcome Titan to the ranks of our Superheroes!

In reply to R. Race Rasmusen (msg # 144):

One last call for Manmirror.  It's been 12 days since his last post.

Manmirror thought he had posted, and now is sorry he had not. Forgive the Manmirror, just because he's shiny doesn't mean he's bright. Truth to tell he can be sort of dense.

Hey everyone!  So boss, where should I jump in?

You can jump in on the Front Page.  Snake-men are rioting and attacking a police barricade as reported on the news.

Will the interview continue or was it a one-off?

Originally I was thinking of having it like the reality shows where they put you in a privacy box and you speak about what's going on, what was on your mind etc. - no interview, but I'm wondering if pertinent questions from Nina would work better?

It will be clear to Nina that Darien needs a little more prompting than normal. They'll just edit out the questions (as I'm sure they do on actual reality tv) so it looks spontaneous. :)

Waiting on Manmirror for the front page.

I've got to get my circadian posting rhythm back, this is getting embarrassing.

Hey all, back from hols. :)

Does Devilgirl need to roll anything to snap out of her current state?

In reply to Devilgirl (msg # 154):

No, it faded as soon as Temere left again, which is not how it should work from what she knows of controlling devils.

Welcome back, DG - glad you aren't trying to terminate me!

Also, Titan - welcome aboard! I seemed to have missed your OOC post somehow. I'm the Spook, and I'll be the residential paranoid vigilante for this adventure :P

Waiting on Titan for the front page.

Greetings, Titan. I'm the shiny one in the back. Name's Manmirror.
I would say more, but my handler just watched Days of Future Past so he's forcing me to act somewhat Beast-ly! It's not so bad on the Front Page, but I get really annoying whenever I start talking.

Waiting on Manmirror & Devilgirl for the front page.

Just so you know, I think I'm going to keep Manmirror's mouthy side.

In reply to Manmirror (msg # 160):

That works for me :)

Again.

In reply to R. Race Rasmusen (msg # 162):

Did anyone else read that post and hear a class of schoolkids go "Ooooooo!"

No? Just me? :P

Sorry, I seem to be in a real creative dry spot these days. I guess I'm afraid of another humilating public failure for Devilgirl too.

Sorry, trying to catch up on my TV watching. I don't get to see the shows until they make it to Hulu.

Would the Spook have lost the vial of Dr. Cobra's serum during the execution of his fake-out?

A feat of agility would seem a good way to check.  White - fell & broke, Bronze - fell, intact.  Silver - Fumble & quick recover.  Gold - some last second feat of misdirection.

Cool cool, I'll edit my post shortly!

I've somewhat lost my way. I think Manmirror is undamaged, but I'm not completely certain, and I think the snakeman holding the rifle would have been somewhat damaged from the explosion, but I'm not completely certain. Please tell me where I stand... other than to the left of the coffee pot...

In reply to Manmirror (msg # 169):

The Snake-Man is a bit damaged by the explosion, his scales saving him from some of the blast.  Manmirror is untouched other than a bit blackened.

Can I assume Darien is out of the fight?

In reply to Darien Hooker (msg # 171):

Yes, and Titan.  You can go talk in the box or the Schwarma king :)

I think the fight will be over pretty shortly, at least.

Sorry, for the delay, everyone! I have extended family visiting and haven't been able to get a moment to myself. Unfortunately I'll most likely be scarce until the weekend. The Spook will be fighting on auto-pilot until then, if that's ok.

In reply to The Spook (msg # 173):

I'm having some difficulty getting on this week too, first time I've been able to.

I am doing the family thing as well, so I can't swear by how much I'll be on.

Back to the normal grind today, so I have time again.

Looks like we need The Spook & Devilgirl's posts.

By large snake man did you mean a seperate foe attacking Devilgirl or the same one that is fighting Spook (that she has just hit)?

In reply to Devilgirl (msg # 177):

It's a seperate one.  He's about seven feet tall and covered in lumps, he came out of the restaurant bit Darien, and is trying to get to the vial the other snake-man has.

Things are looking like I might have time to post again.  I'm rereading everything, as I don't remember what happened (watching reruns of Mystery Times, man canceled for two years, but there's rumors it might go back in productions!)

(EDIT)Just finished catching up, now I've got to find my old files for the snakes etc.  Maybe Monday or Tuesday I'll post continuing in the pit of snakes.

Also noticed I left all that OOC stuff at the end there, whoops!
This message was last edited by the GM at 23:07, Fri 29 Sept 2017.

I guess that means I should reread it, too. Did I call myself ManMirror because I'm constantly checking my hair or was there some other reason?

So I believe where we're at, there's only Lumpy the large snake man left up, who's licking up serum.  Manmirror hadn't posted his action yet.

And I'm still out of the fight.

In reply to Darien Hooker (msg # 182):

Hi Darien! Yes, that's quite a Rip Van Winkle nap.

Manmirror has indeed slammed Lumpy.  That means Manmirror can choose to toss him somewhere else (1 area, about 30 feet), or just slam him into (through?) the ground.  What's Manmirror going to do there?

In my head, he was jumping on top of snakeman, the assumption would be to slam him innto the pavement.

Bump - waiting on next actions.

Darien, I could give The Spook, over to you until Darien is up on his feet?  There's still a number of snake men about causing havoc down the street, though none nearby.

Alternately I could fast forward after Lumpy is taken care of (unless he takes care of everyone) and assume you all clean up the rest of the lesser snake men.

I'd suck at trying to pick up another character. I can wait.

Waiting on Devilgirl's action.

In reply to R. Race Rasmusen (msg # 188):

"Devilgirl, please report to the editor's office!"

I'll continue tomorrow one way or the other.

Weird, I thought Devilgirl had been on more recently, but I just checked The Cast and she hasn't.   I'll NPC her unless she logs in again.

Darien - was looking up the poison, you start to recover 1 RS a round after 4 rounds, you can't go below 0.  If I've got it right, it's 5 rounds before my last post so you wake up, and I'll let you do something if you want before we continue, though you'd only be at Terrible Strength.

I'll make a post shortly, but I'll be away from the computer for the rest of the weekend.

Whoops, I somehow missed we had actually started up again! Sorry, I'll try to catch up now.

In reply to Devilgirl (msg # 193):

Glad to have you back!  and be back!

Just giving Devilgirl a chance to catch up and post.  If nothing by end of tomorrow I'll update the Front Page News.

Please welcome Henry Alias Blackthorn to the Mystery Times!

Welcome Mr. Blackthorn.

Thank you! I'll get to character creation straight away. Let's see what the dice gives me, eh?

Okay, the character is ready, and Henry's description is up.

RRR, where would you like Henry to start?

We're at a wrap-up phase of the current scenario, so probably when the next starts, I'll try to move things along to get the next up.  Quite a lot of the events were caught on TV, so you could read through the Front Page to catch up on what's been televised or reported if you want.

You could join the Schwarma King and/or Interview threads if you think it's appropriate for your character.

Welcome, Mr. Blackthorne.

Heh, that's funny. If it's appropriate for my character... ;) I'll put something together NLT Monday...ish ;).

Nice start, I like it!

Schwarma King might be a good place for Henry to meet with Manmirror & Darien, perhaps putting 2 and 3 together with a bit of detective work.

Darien & Manmirror please go to Schwarma King so you can discuss things a bit and possibly meet Henry before we move on.

I renamed Front Page News Archives #1-#3 and created a new Front Page News.

I'm probably going to be absent until Monday.  I'll try to pop in, but probably won't be able to start the next scene until then.  Good time to get to know each other a bit more & prepare.  If there's any pro-active things you guys want to do let me know.

I'm back, it's been a busy week and Monday for me,  Had a good thanksgiving and played with the kids a bit, and did a bit of yard work, and spent way too much money.  Such is the holidays.

Is there anything anyone wants to do (investigation, set-up) before I kick off the next scene properly?

Henry is just preparing for guests. :)

I'm still trying to recover from a three day pumpkin pie and whipped topping coma (couldn't let it go to waste, could I).
But I'm playing Manmirror as somewhat less sophisticated so shouldn't have any trouble keeping up. Plus he's not really the investigating type (although I think he'll go to the library and read some reference works on herpetology, does that count as investigating).

Flying snakes, swimming snakes, spitting snakes, the onset and treatment of snake bite, snake charming, The Jungle Book, and Sammy the snake on Sesame Street (I think the last couple are more up Manmirror's alley)

I take it our evening is about to be disrupted by the news?

I was wondering if you guys were going to investigate that.  If not I'll move on to the next thing.

I wasn't sure if we just show up to the site, or if we were going to have an establishing shot of, say, our get-together. I'm not used to the scene starting in the "news" thread and not the RP thread.

In reply to Henry Elias Blackthorne (msg # 214):

The news thread is the RP thread. :)

And therein lies my disconnect. ;)

A little more than 2 years later...
Reading back through the last news thread I'm not sure what happened here.  Where did it all go wrong?  Is anyone still around?  If so what's your character been doing for the last 2 years :)

This was my most successful run at GMing a PbP game.  I've tried several times since, and no where near as many posts before they petered out.

Whoa. I don't know if anyone else is still out there. But I'm here. I'm not sure what Manmirror has been doing in the past two years, it sorta depends on what happened with the whole 'stuff vanishing in a puff of flame from the middle of a museum' thing.

Good to see you're still around!  I'll give everyone else a week to respond than we can decide what to do from there.

Another two years pass, and here I am again.  It seems to be a cycle.  I can't seem to let go of this game, but I don't really know where to go from where we were (or for that matter even remember what we were doing, I'll have to read and catch up again if anyone else is still around.)

Well, I'm still here.

I think waiting a couple weeks for others to come back last time was a bad idea, I lost momentum.  No one else responded last time, so I think it's just you Manmirror.  I can put out a call to players, but I think it was getting overwhelming last time, maybe just a couple extras.

It's actually been 7 years since I started this.  Time flies when the world goes to ^#((/ I *think* I'm in a more stable situation for awhile, but might be moving in the spring again. I think posting every day might be a bit much, but it did work better while the game was on, just thinking on that. I'm a bit rusty on FACERIP now, I'll have to dig it out and go over it, fortunately it's not all that complicated if I remember correctly.

I reread issues #1-4.  #!&^ that was some good stuff!
Rather than go into years since that time, I'd probably pick it up a week or two after those events.


So as I see it we left off with:

1) a bunch of newer snake-people that escaped again.
   A) They like to go in the sewers.
   B) A hidden snake-lab somewhere (unclear if any of the escaped snake-people knew where it was though.)

2) A disappearing and irritating time travelling magician.

3) An offer to work with the FBI.

4) A ritual with sacrificed cats in a graveyard

Yes, it does appear most are missing. I'm certain if you were to open it, there are those that would join. In the meantime, I'll revisit ManMirror and figure out what he'll do next.
Ok. I forgot how much I liked this guy. In the back of my mind, he's just a steelworker who developed abilities and started looking for books that would help him know what to do with these abilities. Someone suggested Sun Tzu's Art of War, and Manmirror almost memorized it. There are other sources for his wisdom and ideas, but none with the impact of Sun Tzu.

I have to say I was surprised to see this pop up on my homepage. I think I stepped away from RPOL at some point after this petered out in '17, but I've been back for a time.

I haven't looked at FASERIP, either, since this ended, but it's nice to see Blackthorne still looking sharp. :)

I'd be up for continuing if we get this going.

One question: Would you be interested in switching over to a different system, if one of them is easier for you to run? (I'm happy to reacquaint myself with FASERIP, but I'm not overly attached to it.)

Hey, welcome back Henry! FASERIP's fine.  I'm far more familiar with Hero/Champions actually, but I put that away a long time ago as I found it far too much work.  I did play Marvel once a long long time ago and kept meaning to go back to it for a lighter system

Well there is one I was kind of interested in trying ever since I heard about it on the Save for Half podcast, it has some interesting mechanics that sound like they're pretty good for emulating a supers game with emphasis on the roleplaying, but after briefly looking into it, it looks similarly point based to Champions which turns me off.  "SuperBabes: The Femforce Roleplaying game." :)  What an awful name, supposedly the game is actually good.

P.S. Now that you mention it, 126 pages doesn't seem too light I wouldn't mind a simpler system that fit in half that or less though.  I'm not familiar with anything simpler, It'd probably take more time to research that than continue on with FASERIP.

P.P.S. I seem to remember the first edition of champions wasn't too long, but I quit playing years after it was a giant tome.  I kind of like the semi-randomness of Blackball's version of FASERIP though.

P.P.P.S (Yes I'm getting excessive with the post-post-post-scrips) There's a couple I found based off of 0e D&D, which I'm far more familiar with, but I'm not sure D&D is the right system for a supers game.
This message was last edited by the GM at 20:47, Fri 26 Aug 2022.

My personal favorite "light" system is Villains and Vigilantes. Unfortunately, the character creation system for VnV doesn't care much about balance, making that the responsibility of the GM. Plus, the combat system doesn't work well with PbP unless modifications are made to account for sporadic participant posting.

A question on character generation.

I made the 20d100 rolls. my #7 roll says to pick a power of my choice or increase an Ability. If I pick a power, Do I need to use roll #8 for it's strength?
My #8 roll says to roll a random Transformation power, do I use #9 roll for what kind of power, or do I use rolls 7-14 on the power acquisition table, and use the others to check what random powers I get?

Powers start at campaign -1 rank, so since the campaign is "World Class[30]", powers start at "Great[20]" the next rank down.

I believe I have done the character generation correctly. My Character's superhero name is Interface

Introducing ... Kid Comet!

Hello,

Destiny Dame reporting.


I was thinking about how to make my powers into a cohesive set and i realized i am basically the Tasmanian devil...

Character names updated!

OK character sheet is updated and complete i think

Pleasure to meet you all!

Margaret Weiss Productions produced a Marvel-themed Cortex-Plus game in 2012 called Marvel Heroic Roleplaying. It won awards for the system and the game in general, although it was short-lived due to licensing costs.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...l_Heroic_Roleplaying

I'm fond of the mechanic (thanks to the Firefly game she produced), and, while it's a bit crunchy, it also allows for a great amount of flexibility for powers and has a neat "attribute" mechanic called Affiliation (which basically allows you to choose whether you work best solo, with a buddy, or as part of a team).

The only thing is doesn't really have is a set rule for how powerful your custom-made character can be, although I've come up with something that I think works rather well, based on the example characters from the rules.

That said, it's a bit to learn (and we'd have to convert all the characters), but I figured I'd throw it out there as an option.

I did find Mutants and Masterminds d20, which is as you guessed it d20 (3.x D&D) based.  It looks oddly familiar to FASERIP in many ways except using D20s and 3d6 attributes.  There's an srd too: https://www.d20herosrd.com/

FASERIP's coming back to me enough we can proceed though, and it feels like I'd just be trading one ruleset that works well enough for another that I'm unsure of and have to get to know as well.  So FASERIP it is.

Mutants and masterminds 2.0 is more hero like

Use whatever system you want.

I'm always wary about putting M&M out there, because it sprang forth from OGL. 3rd Ed is pretty good, too, although it does have the Champions/Heroes fault that it's too easy to power game a character (especially if the player is better at it than the GM).

But, like I said before, I'm also good with FASERIP.

And welcome to Interface, Destiny Dame, and Kid Comet!

wilkommen
It appears we'll have four new characters. Interface, Destiny Dame, Kid Comet, and another whose cast list entry is still too cryptic to be a name.

I had an idea.  A short thread for each character where they meet a snakeman on their own, create your own scenario how they meet, robbery, chance meeting, etc.  Does this sound like a cool idea?

What do these snakemen look like? just so I don't describe something that's different than your vision of them.

Yes, it does. I may not get to it 'til Monday, though (church in the morning and my f2f group in the afternoon/evening).

In which thread should we post?

In reply to R. Race Rasmusen (msg # 240):

Sounds good to me.  :)

The snakemen look all different, different formulas, different progress and doses so they could look almost human to more than half snake, and most had cancer which affected how it progressed.  Most should look pretty horrifying, not like a pretty snake. I did post a link to a pick in my last post in "Front Page News Issue #5." of how one looks, linked here for convienence:

edited link
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0...399872/?ref_=tt_ov_i

I'll create individual threads.  I'll leave them public assuming it will end up on the news.  If anyone has an objection I'll make a seperate group for you and the thread, at least if/until it hits the news.

Henry: no problem. I generally don't post much on the weekend, but I'm striking while the mood is upon me.
This message was last edited by the GM at 16:19, Sun 28 Aug 2022.

LInk doesnt work for me here either.


Got my inrl group, i'll post something later this afternoon in my thread.

That's odd, it doesn't work for me anymore either.  It was working when I posed it.  Well it's the cover pic for this

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0454953/

Getting "bad gateway" messages on all the tinyurl things. I believe it to be due to the anti virus/malware/etc software, or maybe one of the three firewalls.

Am looking forward to see what the other supers can do... Mine is more of a two-trick pony, for now.

mostly i punch things, really hard

Henry's a battlesuit scrapper; light armor with all-around sensory array, twin batons for stick fighting, and a gun with adaptable ammunition settings. He gets around on a Triumph superbike. His true superpower is that he's filthy rich.

Oh, and he has a public identity.

Just getting things together, Aster Man flies and has a certain glow about him in a fight.

Hello, everyone. Very excited to join the game!

Weekends tend to be a bit busy for me to post, I'm updating threads now.

I like how Asterman wants to take a snake man that can hypnotize to a police station...

well super heroes are not much except for making sure the bad guys can get away so they can fight them again...

In reply to Interface (msg # 254):

I wasn't sure to take that as "Aster Man is attacked and it fails and he was completely aware of the attack" or "Aster Man is a noob and is wondering why the snakey guy was making googly eyes at him" so went with the later. Aster Man is not one of the world's deep thinkers and cannot manipulate forklifts with his mind so he's going to have to rely on what he does have.

So, if the GM rules he was aware of things, snakey is going in a bag. But, if not and if the cops start becoming hypnotized, I think even Aster Man is going to catch onto the hypnotic power of Snakeman. Then Aster Man gets to punch his lights out, then have him locked up. He could escape, I suppose, and give AM something to do!

P.S. DD: Love that picture in the profile! Something about a redhead in spandex!

In reply to Aster Man (msg # 256):

I understand. It wasn't an attack on your choice, but it was funny to think about what the hypnotic snake man might get up to in the police station.

Thanks, might have picked that for the same reasons...

anyone playing city of heroes homecoming?

Oh, I got it, just having fun with it. They were supposed to warn you about me in advance.

I had forgotten about that...unfortunately, my laptop isn't gaming worthy (but I'm hoping to upgrade later this year), but I'm happy to see CoH coming back. Enjoyed the heck out of the original game.

I'm not sure if you'd know you were targeted, as unlike other powers you don't make a feat, it either controls you or not based on the rank power vs. your psyche and the result of the power roll.  I'd lean toward you'd know, but I'll roll with it, maybe he'll realize later.

-----

City of Heroes: I played CoX back in the day off and on, right from the beginning.  I played for a few months when Homecoming came back.  My old crew was there for a bit, but then mostly broke up and I got tired of playing with randos and completed about everything I ever wanted to but never got geared enough to do back in the original days.

Soloed Recluse TF with my mace soldier VEAT, that was pretty much the last thing I did on Homecoming.

My favorite time was when CoV was it's own thing, once they made it crossover no one played villain side, which I felt was much better story and class wise, that's pretty much when I stopped with the original game, and it turned that way pretty quick with Homecoming.  It also felt way too easy to get so powerful in Homecoming vs. the original, but as I didn't play it to the end, I'm not sure what changes were made later.

I've been playing CoH Homecoming, but it's not a big thing for me. I created a hero and villain with identical selections except the hero's main color is white and the villain's is black. They're almost the same except for the wording of the dialogue.

Site referencing indy and foreign superhero comics:
http://www.internationalhero.co.uk/

After Reviewing reflection i agree you can reflect melee punches.

I think though as it is a dice action (unlike all of the auto/defense powers), I think it means you cant use reflect and attack on the same turn (unless you can do multiple actions of which i dont know a way to do that).   It might also question if you can reflect multiple attacks at the same time as you cant attack multiple attacks at the same time.

totally could power stunt multi reflection melee or ranged,  i am not sure i would allow a multi reflection melee/range or mixed physical/energy at the same time.


Just my thoughts.

I LOVE the FBI agent's name Made Wong...

My spare time, for the next few days, will be limited. Expect more sporadic posting than usual.

Today's been pretty rough for me too, I'm going to have to skip the main thread, I'll be sure to update tomorrow.  Weekend is still probably no-go for me.  [Edit] Looks like I'm waiting on people in the main thread anyway.



It was supposed... oh nevermind, her name is Made Wong now. :)

Waiting on Manmirror, Interface & Destiny Dame for the main thread.  Manmirror may be out though, I'm o.k. on waiting for him or doing an attack for him if the rest want to move it along.  I probably won't get to it until Monday afternoon if people post, so no real hurry, I was just hoping I could get one in today, but not since people haven't posted.

I was kind of thinking of continuing the separate solo threads, sort of like having an Avengers comic book and having comic books for the individual heroes, Iron Man, Spider-Man, Thor etc.  It might be more work than I can handle, but they could go at a slower pace if necessary.  Thoughts?

I will post later today. Am not near my computer at the moment

That works fine for me, if it makes it easier for you.

I like it.

The Dazzling Destiny Dame!
The Masterful ManMirror!
The Astounding Aster Man!
The Invincible Interface!
The Brilliant Blackthorne!

Any one of the titles could be different. Every once in a while some young writer thinks he's more sophisticated than his peers, so we get things like:

those are nice, i like both.

You can make up your own title of course.  Either are way better than X vs. Snakeman. :)

So far I guess we have:

Reflecting on Humanity
The Brilliant Blackthorne

:)

Issue #5 updated.

Waiting on Aster Man's next move in his thread.

Women Are The Future i'll take that one.

I will be unavailable for the next two -three days due to a holiday

I made threads as named for solo Destiny Dame, Henry Elias Blackthorn and Manmirror.  I'm not sure if karma's going to work well with that sort of simultaneously occurring action, but we'll give it a try.  Just post those threads at your own pace, and I'll do my best to post replies as frequently as you post during the week.  Start off with whatever typical 'action seeking' (patrolling the city, reading the paper, listening to the police scanner, etc.) your character is doing, or personal life drama they have if you prefer.  Typical day in a life stuff.  I'll happily take direction if you want to explore some facet of your character, or just beat up bad guys.

---

Thanks for the update Interface

---

I may be somewhat unavailable next week, not real sure.  I'll try to keep up.

Sorry about the slow pace, several family members affected by Ian and a number of friends. Been preoccupied the last few days, happy to report that family is all safe and accounted for but sadly a couple of friends haven't checked in. One of them lives in Ft Meyer. Should be back at normal pace this week.

I'm back, I should be able to get back to updates on weekdays again.  I'll work on getting some out today.

Sorry I haven't gotten back with posts, I seem to have lost my notes on Quetzalcoatl and setup I had for Manmirror's thread.  I have to recreate them again and go through the thread to count up damage again, which is a pain in the ass I haven't been in the mood to do.

I promise I'll get to it soon (tm).

Edit:  I got it done, didn't take quite as long as I thought.  I got Manmirror's thread updated.  I have everything prepped for the main thread, but no more time today, I'll update tomorrow.

Henry,

I had a cassette tape Kraftwerk in the 80's.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=68d8GRgiec4

I'm thinking on what to do with your prompt in your thread.  Do you have any direction you want to go with that?
This message was last edited by the GM at 21:40, Wed 19 Oct 2022.

My general idea was that someone has done something naughty to the Kraftwerk folks to make them late (or not show up at all), thinking they're derailing the deal, and Henry has to stop them. Could be Russians. Could be Chinese. Could be supervillains. :)

The Brilliant Blackthorne #1: Blackthorne Abroad!

Man, I had forgotten about those guys...loved that sound!

Sorry, I've got GM's block again.  I love the game, but figuring out what to do with it is difficult.

I might try to use/convert a Marvel module if that doesn't sound like a bad idea, but it's work, which I've got far less tolerance for than I used back in the day before all the available distractions.

On the other side of things, I'm trying to learn javascript to make games.  I made my first game ever, mostly from a tutorial, but I went a little overboard and am excited about the possibilities.  It's Rock Paper Scissors Lizard Spock with some hopefully interesting results.  Might be fun for a minute or two. *shrug*

https://sites.google.com/site/justisaursdd/rspls

A nice little game, but one bug. When you choose lizard, the result doesn't change from the previous selection. Everything else seems to respond correctly. :)

Yea, it can be tough, writers block can hit really hard.

In reply to Henry Elias Blackthorne (msg # 286):

Fixed.  Quick one, it's case sensitive and I had Lizard for the button and lizard everywhere else.  Now you can see all the lizard goodness. :)

Edit:
I mean now it is, I forgot when I posted I have to change it on the site.
