I'll have a new post up later today!

We need a new map!

@Ghost Rider Woohoo!

@DD You read my mind... Update coming soon. ;)

Thanks everyone for your patience in getting to the next big scene(s). Hoping everyone will find it worth the wait.

Did anyone want to jump on the offer of using an additional set of milestones in Act II? Last I checked, DD, Tigra, and Ghost Rider all have 2 on top of the event milestones. Domino, Moon Knight, and Spidey are welcome to use their original 2nd sets if they would like, or run some custom ones by me.

@Daredevil and Spider-Man FYI, DD: your Venom asset is persistent since you paid the 1 PP to make it so. Spidey: you have the option of doing the same with the Doppelganger asset if you'd like to.

I hope the text explained it sufficiently, but if not-- basically Venom and Doppel will do what you guys tell them to during this scene (within reason). Use the assets just as you would any kind of normal asset, eg. a weapon or extra advantage. The d12 and d6 asset dice reflect their "effectiveness" in carrying out whatever command you give them. Assume that if the assets are removed or destroyed, it just means that your ability to give the characters orders has gone away (most likely due to them being separated from you, distance/noise interfering, etc.).

If any clarification is needed, let me know. I'll be setting up the stadium scene properly after seeing to Domino/Moon Knight's scene.

Sorry for my tardiness, Folk.   As a member of my cities police force, I am working extra shifts during this time of stress and protests.
I’ll try to get a post in soon.

Stay safe!


...y'know. Where possible.

@Domino What Moon Knight said!

Absolutely; I have an eight year old daughter who needs me.

Keep me honest: Can I allow Ghost Rider to be caught by Tigra's Crimson Bands of Cytorrak without defending myself because I think that would be good for the story?

@Ghost Rider I had to give it some thought, but here's my ruling on it:

I'd like for you to still roll a reaction, but you're by no means obligated to use your optimal dice pool. Use whatever dice you feel may lead you to the desired outcome-- maybe GR realizes he's part of this Team (d6) instead of being Solo (d10). Use a negative distinction. If he's not resisting, don't use any power traits or SFX. And if your specialties don't apply to this action, leave those out too.

If you didn't roll any reaction, I would treat it as though your total was 0, meaning Tigra wins with 2 extraordinary successes-- stepping up her d10 effect die past d12 and effectively one-shotting you (Ouch!). It could still happen with a crap roll, but at least the core element of risk/chance is there.

That’s good advice ... and a good solution.

Done. Thanks! :)

Rules question: If there are only two dice left in a dice action, is it mandatory that they become the Total, leaving no Effect die, to become a d4 default Effect, or can you choose to make one the Total and one the Effect? (Tragically unfortunate, but it happens.) Or if there is just one die left, can it be used as the Effect, leaving a Total of 0?

If GR is seen as a hostile element for the moment, but we all know he's usually a good guy, is he considered part of our Team or is he still Solo, for Affiliation purposes?

@Daredevil In response to your first question, I would leave it up to the player to decide. Part of the fun of this game system is being able to strategize with how you use your dice. This may go against the official rules, but I think it would be beneficial to the game. Having a higher effect die than the opposition results in their effect die stepping back, which can take the sting out of a bad roll (and make the game less "swingy" which IMO is one of its only weaknesses).

Re: Affiliations, I would count Ghost Rider as Team during this exact moment, as he has (for the moment) ceased to be actively hostile. If, say, on his next turn he goes on the offensive again, he'd go back to being Solo.

Can I just team up with Tigra and we can kick everybody else's butt into surrender? I mean, Buddy would give me a D8. :D

Now there's a scary thought. :P

Carnage and Shriek are a pretty destructive team-up, but looks like they've gained some competition in their absence! Guess it's time they reminded everyone what a real power couple looks like...

@Domino - hope everything is well. Take care out there.

@Ghost Rider - hello and welcome! In a time and place where Tigra is possessed by a demon, it would be awesome to team up with Ghost Rider and destroy everything and everyone!

My schedule has changed a bit, so I'll be able to reply more often during weekdays along with weekends. I wanna see what happens next! :)

Quick note-- I've realized recently I'm able to view PM's and private lines of text written between players. I don't intend to look at any of it, but I thought you guys might like to know just in case. rMail is a more private way of contacting each other if it's a concern to anyone (Thanks for the suggestion, Daredevil). I assume everyone's just talking about game stuff, but hey, you never know.

Also, I've updated the Milestone/XP thread with a fresh tally of everyones' XP. Some players' original milestones have been restored in case anyone wants to use them for extra XP or roleplaying options. With the event milestones now free to use on top of the two sets each player already has, everyone now has 3 sets of milestones they can hit. (The restored milestones are MYSTERIOUS PAST for Domino, SOMEONE GETS TO DO THE FUN STUFF for Moon Knight, and TEAM PLAYER for Spidey.)

Map update coming shortly! (Did everyone know we have a game map?)

It's a date! Shhhh, don't tell the others though. It'll be a surprise.

It is very, very difficult to surprise Daredevil.

I'm just thinking how cool it would be for Tigra to use some magic spells to boost up Ghost Rider.  Maybe we can do a whole thing where everyone is possessed by a demon and we wreak havoc upon the city!

Except that we're the heroes. Are they heroic demons, at least?

The game map has been updated to reflect the latest post. If anyone has any questions about it, feel free to ask.

In reply to Daredevil (msg # 106):

DD, I think we're just spitballing and having fun with the idea at the moment. If we wanted to go the demon invasion route, it might be fun to have a super team subsumed by some entity and his minions. Maybe 4/5ths of the old Champions got in over their heads, because DEMON HERCULES?!?!



A Ghost Rider magically juiced by a fledgling Sorceress Supreme does fill me with ideas, so long as any plan is super-inclusive of everyone else.

Looks like top of this round goes to Ghost Rider. We expect great things from you! (Love that cover by the way. The idea you and Tigra mentioned could make for a fun story somewhere down the road.) Then just another post or two of set-up before the Marvel Universe's craziest game of baseball begins!

What, you guys didn't know Carnage was a fan? Oh yes, and he'll be making a special re-appearance very soon!
