We do have a plot running, but it's going to be something you have to be out and about to find.  You'll see a "----------->> Facades Alleys" when you hit it.  The clues in this plot are, well, you don't find them in neat, clean, well lit places.  Not normally, anyway.

Re: OOC The Quarterly

Sorry about my vanishing act, it seems I've been having some text based games burnout all around, even in a few run by close internet pals of over a decade.  I'll try to catch up on some of the more recent stuff and-...

Ozzy is sporting the Andy look now? How long have I been out again?

Could I perhaps get a quick reference sheet for post BBQ Weston City before I collapse under the weight of catch up before I even start working out where to jump in again?

Re: OOC The Quarterly

The big stuff?

Ozzy got mutated into what he is now. Yes, he looks something like Andy, now. He got mutated in the line of duty, trying to bust the people who were selling the mutagen as a drug.

Clarissa got mutated into an angel-winged catgirl when she got stabbed with two syringes' worth of the mutagen by a jealous classmate.

Ozzy and Clarissa are now happily married!

Mirage, one of the Legacy, died. Her funeral is tomorrow.

That's the major recent stuff.

Oh my.  I'm not exactly in a rush, (though I'm hoping to think of and post something somewhere just for sake of getting outof my slump by tomorrow night).  It's more that since this game's been a classy one, just a bit more pressure to treat the events that have gone on with respect as opposed to "I'll just jump in whenever and wherever" is all.

My advice is to speak up at the wedding reception, which is at Meg's place.  And by the way, you are a) assumed to have moved in with Halkor and company, b) assumed to have attended the wedding, and c) assumed to have seen how much the groom's father could show his butt too.

All safe assumptions... Well, as safe as that last one can be anyways.

EDIT: vvv Well you mentioned that in the first place.  But thank you for the reminder.  Hopefully Meg's house works out better than the average house with non-euclidean geometries.

Welcome aboard, even in the small chunk I've played in this game it probably one of the nicest Super games I've seen on RPOL.

Meaning that as an actual compliment, and not just because the majority of my exposure has been "Oh good lord the GM made Fing Fang Foom a bishonen and-" then spiraling off downhill like a top fired from a cannon.

Also, had to look up who Judge Mills Lane was.  I guess it's a good thing that it's easy for me to stay in character for my many characters who don't watch much TV because I don't watch much myself?

I only remembered that particular judge's name for one special reason.

I find it a little funny that during all these Mutagen scares, Matt's off doing his own thing unaware of it really.  Because he could deal with the problem simply by passing through.

Unless mutation was desired by the players, then he'd never think of it ;D

Very true.  Part of why I'm trying to play Matt in a way that he's not as quick on the uptake of 'what exactly could I do with my abilities via loose comic book logic?' as I am OOC.  His first (and only) fight was won by way of Football Tackle and headbutts. How fancy.

  While normally it's a fight to get my abilities to even be acknowledged to function ever in games like this (count of games with mental insulation, many.  Count of games where I was allowed to ever have it work? slim), Weston City is classy enough that I'm going the other way around to make sure I don't throw my abilities weight around it it would bother someone.

  Well, maybe unless they are trying to punch the head off my shoulders.

Out of sight, for the most-part. You'd still be able to hear muffled footsteps and rustling of clothes, but the sound itself would be slightly dampened. If you could sense any type of Aura's, you could see her plain as day, but otherwise, just invisible to the naked eye.

Re: OOC The Quarterly

So I've been running games in the giant comics universe for about four years now. And it has occured to me a lot has happened. We have currently two of the originals still playin, myself one of them. So the idea has occured to me of starting over. Paras just a rumor, no supers registration act, no Department of paranormal activities, no Legacy amd Weston without the moniker, superhero capital of the world. What is everyones thoughts on this? I would like the current players to discuss and eventually vote on this.

Re: OOC The Quarterly

Um.....

Yes, yes, and more yes.

It'd be awesome.

Though that would almost mean you'd have to grab up the old Legacy members, and I mean the OLD legacy members. You could always just have them cameo every now and again with a new cast of original characters. Of course, that's assuming you want to start over with a similar timeline of characters.

I'd be up for it. Heck, it'd give me an excuse to write up a new and more interesting character....or a fun one. Maybe both? Yeah, both.

I really have to say: I enjoy the Giant Comics games, and starting over from the beginning would be absolutely friggin' awesome.

Also, why don't we have an actual comic book yet? That'd make my decade.

Starting over..? That does sound intriguing. Though I hope we're not pulling the plug on this one. It has A LOT of history behind it.

That said, maybe it would be time to do something different (at least for me anyway).

I'll stick with Fiona for the reboot, I think. I'm enjoying playing her, but I'd also like to see how her story would play out without an established presence of paras to help her along. And she's already college student age in this continuity.

Speaking of which, what will happen to this game now?

Re: OOC The Quarterly

I think more or less everyone who used to play here is now in New Beginnings, so all the attention has shifted to there. Was the idea that both games would run concurrently? Personally, I was under the impression that the plan was to phase out this game and just focus on the new one, but if we're going to keep both going, I'll happily go for that.

Re: OOC The Quarterly

Because Justice keeps coming up with new superhero universes heres a new game in a little different vein than Giant Comics.


In this world no super powered beings exist and technology is fairly close to real world. History unfolded pretty much the same. The only difference from the world we live in is that masked vigilantiism has been a part of American Culture and eventually the worlds since the 1920s.

Crimefighters have infiltrated every part of our society and are now a part of normal everyday life. These Vigilanties come in two varieties, sanctioned and unsanctioned. Without getting into too much detail, sanctioned heroes have government backing, unsanctioned heroes do not.


if this sounds interesting to you hop on over and check out the game

I'm classified as high risk because I am diabetic.  Then there's my age.  Neither factor can I change, so . . .yeah.  We're hoping my health doesn't cause malformation of the cardiac tissues of the baby, but we won't know anything about that for another month, because the baby is too small right now to actually see much.  With regards to nursing school, long story there, but we can leave it at Real Life has some sharp teeth.

Re: OOC The Quarterly

Yeah, if the mother's sugar is too high when conception occurs, the average is 50% or better that the developing cardiac tissues do not form correctly.  And the older a woman is, the higher chance of genetic defects due to potentially aberrant development of the ova before conception.  In other words, getting old sucks for you, and for your potential offspring.  I did warn Justice, if we have twins or triplets, we're done having kids and I WILL have my tubes tied after that.

I've been furry, with various complications in my life ranging from diabetes (quite mild in my case and readily controlled with minimal medication) and being diagnosed as autistic (at age 48... I blame my parents for never allowing me to get a psych evaluation before), to having dealt with a period of homelessness and loss of the job I enjoyed for 15 years. Currently, I'm returning to school and finally (some 2 decades later) getting to put something from my major in botany to use now that we've forced Dad to allow me to have a vegetable garden.

I do work full time thee days, so I can be fairly assured that the posting rate won't go batshit insane often.  Doing what I do for work is exhausting, so I tend to hit the hay an hour or so after work unless I have bad insomnia that night.  Given that neither of my parentals is in great health (nearly lost my Dad to lung Cancer this past year), I try hard to spend time with them when I can.  Tomorrow (well, later today) we are doing a Father's Day cookout at my parents, all my Dad asked for this year was to get to see his daughters for Father's Day.  I am surprising him with a 1:25 scale model of a Olds 442 like he had before I was born.

Re: OOC The Quarterly

So here's what the other gms and I have come up with for restarting this game.

Five years have passed, Hunter has retired to join the senate and is now halfway through his third term. Thanks in no small parts to his efforts Paras have gained larger acceptance and there are now a number of anti-discrimination laws in place. As a result The NPA has moved it's efforts onto the international stage, focusing on other countries where Paras are still subject to discrimination as bad, or worse than America once had.

Excelsior has received sanction from the UN to form a team of paras recruited from around the world to deal with global threats. They operate from a space station orbiting the earth.

Technology has advanced at a rapid pace, there are many devices once considered sci-fi that are now commonplace items. (more details on this later)



For those that were in the other game and may be confused, Truth and I have had a lot going on lately (including but not limited to our first child being on the way) and I had taken a break from rpol in general. Now we're at a time (and I'm in the mindset) to try something again, and there seems to be definite interest in rebuilding this game and I'm willing to give it another start.

Five years having passed means that most of the New Age Defenders are now adults, and most of the Legacy has either retired or died. (Dragon Fist is the only one so far to express interest that hasn't already died, Hotwire has checked in, but he has yet to speak up) This will mean the younger heroes will have had to step into their shoes and perhaps some new heroes have emerged (if any of you wish to create a new character or we happen to pick up a couple new characters) I would like for everyone to get in touch with me via pm, let me know if you are interested in continuing, and what your characters been up to in the last five years and how they've changed/grown.

  You know you've made it when there is a space station for super heroes.  Though it's been so long I'll need to remind myself what little Matt has even done here, compared to the (still short) list in New beginnings.  This game did have Flash Gordon style aliens going for it though, on that front.

  When they get back to the US, I'll be sure to mention to my pals that you are trying to pick things back up.

Re: OOC The Quarterly

Regardless of who came along or if it was just Matt, I got the impression it would be more sorting out what was done during the time skip, rather than an active thread.

That said, Matt spending that time out in space sounds like a great way to have him have done a lot of ridiculous over the top stuff while most people back on Earth still have basically never heard of him.

Helps that by then, he'd be more comfortable with himself to return to Earth under his own power if need be as well, if you wanted to shuffle off the Space Men into the background full time.

probably more like 54, game time went on for about two years after this games start, which started six months after the last games end, which probably lasted about six months.

So it's been 7 years since the beginning of this game, and 8 since the public emergence of paras.

I'm updating my description, and stated the boys to be 15 (Harold) and 12 (John), with only John exhibiting any inherited powers.

Rodger's "official" codename is Rodger-Ra the Ever-Wicked, which is the black mana form of his Ancient Spirits of Evil spell.

Okay. Be warned that the beam's secondary effects differ from form to form, with the actual payload (the tracking signal) being the main constant between the versions. And that by now, Rodger is familiar enough with his magic to know the uses of that tracker as a remote target for various 'horror mark' effects in other spells.

I was just kind of hoping to let someone else get a chance, since we seem to have some new faces, before one of the Old Guard swoops in to do something. Besides, Ozzy may not have joined up with Bill on his space station, but he *is* an experienced mercenary who's come out on top against all sorts of nasty crap. He *knows* Rodger's not really a threat, and kind of doesn't want to bother if he doesn't have to.

That said, if nobody else bites by, say, Monday or Tuesday, Ozzy can reluctantly spring into action if you want.

Well, if Dane gets me before I re-activate the Coinshield, or does something that takes me out of The Rich Man form back to my own, I'm an easy foe for him to defeat. That particular power of the form just happens to be exceptionally good protection against brawling and brick types (but does nothing against energy attacks, mental powers, or any sort of spell even if it produces an effect that it would normally work against).

That works too. However, you won't be able to reverse someone being bonded/released from Rodger's system that way or spells that alter the settings of the subordinate suits, unlike freeing them from other sorts of spells he casts on them. So, you could certainly unmelt the coach and return him to flesh, if your power goes far enough back in time, but he's still a henchclown with the odd biofield and powers associated with that status.

"Survive" as in, I get killed and self-resurrect (usually back at the police station or base, not on-site) in a freshly created copy of my body. I can't take insane amounts of physical harm like Excelsior or Meg can.

That's a good way to think about it. And made by a government agency/project. The man inside of the android training dummy is still not thrilled about his fate.

A bit worse than that.
I can't seem to re-locate the post where Lin helped Brenda find out the truth about her husband, at the moment. But to put it simply, he's a civilian, not a Federal agent who'd agreed to be put into that body forever. It was (and may still be) a huge headache for him, with hints of serious legal complications in his life resulting from it.

Edit: Okay, found it. Read posts 801 through 803 in this thread:

Both of those curses are single-target, afflicting one person. Neither is all that complex of an effect (one produces random (edible? rubber? who knows?) chickens when the cursed tries to take something out of a container or pocket; the other afflicts them with frogs in their hair, frogs in their clothes, frogs pretty much everywhere). And as I believe we discussed before, it should be quite easy for you to negate Rodger's cast spells given your control of time and pseudo-mystical abilities.

So we blew him to bits repeatedly until his suit unlocked, and our bosses returned him to normal. Got it. Although this had to have happened after he already married, given the one death and rebirth that happened in play.

Hopefully Rodger can still view him as a friend of sorts.

Most of the Cafe Staff are actually underage, some of them far younger than is even normally legal.  They're runaways, previously homeless, or emancipated.  They wouldn't know (some of them) what it is, but if it sounded alcoholic, they'd say that there's no alcohol available.  There is a reason the Cafe does not bother with alcohol.

Re: OOC The Quarterly

Due to preexisting health conditions and my age, my obstetrician put me on total bedrest at 29 weeks to prevent me from going into preeclampsia, which can be fatal for mama and baby if it is not caught and handled carefully.  My normal 'day job' is highly stressful, and my blood pressure had gone into the earliest stages of preeclampsia due to it.  I didn't feel good, decided to skip work in favor of going in to the doctor instead (I am automatically a high risk pregnancy due to being a diabetic) and after she triple checked my blood pressure, I spent the night in the hospital.  The next morning my OB told me I was off work until at least 6 weeks postpartum, and we were going with bedrest to try and buy the baby enough time to fully develop.  If I went into full out preeclampsia she would have to take the baby by emergency c-section.  So I have been doing my best to follow doctor's orders and take it easy.  Really easy.  So I pretty much do a lot of sleeping, drinking water, and keeping my feet up to prevent blood clots and edema.  My free advice to the ladies who play, is to get your babies born early, don't wait until you're at almost four decades to do it.  I have been told if I get pregnant again after this, odds are good it will kill me.

Anything over 37 is considered high risk. When I did my OB internship we'd put mum's over 37 on bed rest at 29 weeks regardless of any initial signs of preeclampsia. I'm glad your OB is being aggressive with your care and please be very careful. **hugs**

  I'll be 40 in May, and I'm a type 2 diabetic (have been since I was about 24).  First child was easy as pie and I had no trouble with him.  Ten years (almost eleven) years later, this one is being very difficult, so I plan to get my tubes tied when this one arrives.  I can't risk trying for any mire children after this, even though I admit that I wish I could, because Justice is such a GOOD Daddy to the one I already came with.  My son, at 8, literally thanked me for getting him such a good step-daddy when I brought Justice home.  So I am keeping him and following doctor's orders. :)

Thank you, he's enjoying lots of cuddles and meeting his paternal grandparents.  He's loving wrapping them around his little fingers just like he has his other grandparents wrapped around his fingers, but since his wishlist is the simple and short one (cuddles, food, clean butt, and more cuddles), it's not so bad.  Merry Christmas to all, and I hope you're all having a happy holiday too.

Attention!

I'm taking the family on a cruise to Antarctica! We're leaving Friday night the 5th of January from JFK, arriving in Buenos Aires the morning of the 6th. Cruise ships have highly variable internet, and down in that part fo the world in might be downright horrible.

I'll be working, and using WiFi at the various ports we're in, but posting will be sporatic. And expensive. F&%$ing expensive.

I still anticipate posting once every few days.

We'll be back in NYC on the 29th. This ticks off a big item on my bucket list. Woo-Hoo!

Re: Police and the portal.

Meg, Mittens made a portal directly from the Café area to the police station. I was on the other side of it with the regular cops, but had no idea what could be perceived from the police side.

Would her portal be aiding ease in police communication via radio, or causing more havoc?

Causing more havoc right now, there's a jamming signal messing up all RF in the Apokryphos area, not that anyone there has paid attention to the police band yet, so the portal is permitting the jamming signal to hit the main 911 switchboards too.

Magic still works fine.  The jammer itself is a small, portable one, not on the ships, so you have to be where it is to find it.  You can't fix the jamming if you're on the ship, because they dropped the jammer off when they reached the ground.

The Jammer is a rectangular box about the size of a standard business briefcase, weight is approximately 40 pounds.  Daystar will be more than capable of picking it up and carting it off.  There is a handle on the side, like a briefcase handle.

I fail to comprehend why someone would leave merely for thinking that "I cannot come up with another crowning moment of awesome," Matt.

For example, in another game I play in, my character managed to shatter Bifrost and take down Loki using a healing spell. I don't exit the game just because I did the impossible. I stay, and play on.

I had four Mike's Mango Punch in about five minutes.  Sat down and just from seeing a shadow I received the 'X-Ray Shot', 'Head Shot' and 'Long Shot' bonuses from a kill.  I never saw the avatar and was just using a standard assault rifle.

I retired from CoD Modern Warfare 2 a legend in my own living room.

Don't think it happened here, and sorry to see you go, Rampage.  You gotta do you :)

But those do happen.

Chronic health issues are the pits.  Being diabetic is bad, but not being able to get it managed because of the lack of time (for personal care of self even) means that it will only get worse.  I don't have the major secondary side effects yet, but I am currently going blind in one eye because I can't get the time to manage my sugar the way I need to.  And because I can't get that time, I can't get the cataract fixed either.

Mostly curious what happens with the lone surviving alien under metaphysical guard by Matt's influence he trapped in the pavement.

Capturing badguys is easy.

Making sure they can't wipe their own memories, self destruct, get teleported/portaled/erased from the time stream, etc, is where all the real hard work comes in.

If the answer is "Oh god, that breaks our script" then whoops oh no Matt 'forgot' to deal with them.

Re: OOC The Quarterly

Just wanted to point out, for those that are not aware, as a founding member (and former leader) of The Legacy, Dragon Fist is one of the most famous superheroes in the world. He was known to be a "moral inspiring type" before going all grimdark after the legacy disbanded spending less time in the public eye.

In short, meeting him is a BIG deal and Daystar has balls of steel for giving him orders.

Daystar isn't native to this dimention, right? So it would be like visiting Mars and learning about their local legends, bumping into one, and then giving him a command.

....yep! Balls of steel! :D

Can't wait for how interactions go with Dragon Fist after the incident settles down.

Antoinette, is, well... you'll have to excuse her for acting like Dragon Fist is just another para. She kinda treats everyone equally because of the way her brain is wired. (On the bright side, this also means Antoinette admires him a lot) :D Might be refreshing for Dragon Fist that someone wants to treat him like anyone else, but I guess I'll have to find out! He'll at least have a fan girl out of Mittens.

She's also an absent-minded professor, so it might simply be that the fact Dragon Fist is fighting with us hasn't even caught up with her yet. XD

Meanwhile, Maverick IS star-struck, but I haven't posted him yet because I haven't decided if he's there and spying, or not.

As for why Mits hasn't freaked out yet, I'll use the excuse of "Hasn't been on Earth for the past five years.  And when she left Paras were supposed to be a brand new thing as far as the public eye was concerned," for why Mits wasn't aware of Dragon Fist being super famous.  In fact, this is the very sort of thing that prompted me to chose Outer Spaaace as my time-skip adventure.  'Cause player not knowing the who's-who and the what's-what for the past five years lines up perfectly with character not knowing.

As for why she isn't yet rambling about how amazing Lifelight, Seraph, and Daystar are, well...  She's getting to that.  ;)  Matt took priority because he's the one that got teamed up with Dragon Fist.

Re: OOC The Quarterly

@Mittens Df would have been famous before hand. He's basically one of the first superheroes, Along with Peregrine, Mirage, Hotwire, Hunter, and Enigma (three of which are dead) You (and others) can find info on the Legacy in the Notable names thread link to a message in this game , and other characters in the settings thread link to a message in this game both of which are recommended reading for EVERY player, though I'm still working on adding the rest of the characters (including villains) into the first one.

@Antoinette Daystar did mention doing research and there was a bit about his AI giving him info on the Legacy in his premiere in the cafe. It does fit the character, it just amuses me as it's the basically like if Vigilante or Flamebird walked right into a crime scene with Superman or Batman there and just immediately took charge.

Remember Maverick is now capable of actively participating so don't feel limited to have him just spying (Unless he's just waiting for a sneak attack) he has his own 'super-tech' and has been trained by Mr. Hurt and his title of "world's most dangerous man' is NOT hyperbole.

As the Museum scene wraps up we'll be having some 'free roleplay' where the heroes can disperse, converse, and do other 'not actiony' things. It is currently late afternoon, between 4 and 7.

After that's been going on a while we'll skip forward to late at night and we'll have some more action scenes (hopefully enough players can choose between)

Re: OOC The Quarterly

Okay So I've moved the timeline around a bit. The current para age began about 2006, the legacy were founded in 2008 and disbanded in 2018 after ten years of being the world's greatest superteam. By the time they disbanded Dragon Fist was the only founding member left along with the latter editions.

It is currently 2023 in the early spring.

EDIT: added a new organization to the setting known as the Brain bank

The Brain Bank.: A government research lab made up of the greatest minds in the country, design things for the DPA and Strike team alpha, do 'parahuman forensics' for SCU's across the country, and study parahuman abilities and para-tech. Recruits parahumans with more cerebral abilities.

Awesome! Definitely keep me posted about it.  I've missed Paragon City, I'm fairly sure I was on the Liberty Server.  I forget the name of the Task Force, but it was the one that took about 8 hours to complete, it had to do with travelling to some alternate space based reality.  It wasn't the one dealing with the Evil versions of the primary heroes, I think that was a separate one.  It's been a long time since I've played.

My glucometer read me at 20.  Someone else I knew coded when his sugar hit 17, paramedics had to resuscitate him twice that time, so yes, it was a close call. And I never lost consciousness, although I was pretty shaky and I knew I was having a problem.  My supervisor wouldn't let me off the line long enough to check my sugar before it got that bad.  So they had to shut the line off instead when it got that far.  Then the nurses at work had trouble getting my sugar to come up and stay up.  My fingers look like pincushions.

Re: OOC The Quarterly

Even without considering all the other good reasons to stick around?

A surprisingly rare for one is being allowed to run with a light shrug explaining your existence long term (both in and out of game) in a world with heaps of background lore.

In a genre where where immunity from anything to mind control or alien parasites outside of these games gets me "But it ruins my plot if you're immune to... I mean..."

Being immune to background lore is a real mind blower to get on top.  It is the free casio keyboard they throw in with your family trip to Disney Land.

Re: OOC The Quarterly

Okay everybody, the museum seen is just about wrapped up.

Truth and I will have to discuss some plot points for the timeskip (we had already done that, but I've mostly forgotten by now.) I also plan on adding more info to the setting threads, so look out for that.

Feel free to post amongst yourselves while we work on that, otherwise we'll try and get something new up as soon as possible.



In personal news I should be starting a job on the 15th, and will likely be extremely exhausted (partially because it's manual labor, partially because it'll be my first time working since first going on disability ten years ago) so things will likely continue to be slow for the foreseeable future.

Thank you for your continued patience

Re: OOC The Quarterly

Couple things I've added to the Setting and Notable Names threads that may have been missed because they were edits.

The Camp: Though the offical name is the rather bland name of "The Camp" It has many unoficial names such as Para Camp and Hotwire's school of Superheroics. The Camp is run by former Legacy member Hotwire who offers training to Parahumans who wish to use their powers for good as well as genetic testing and ways to activate powers safely.

Freedom Fighter: Cpt. Daniel Thomspson was a soldier in Afghanistan who joined shortly after 9/11. In 2005 His squad was ambushed and killed, and then Lt. Thompson was left paralyzed. He was recovered by the early forms of Dapartment X, the parahuman based millitary branch that handles strike team alpha and othe para projects. Daniel was kept in suspended animation for 10 years while the government finished the L.I.B.E.R.T.Y. system. An advanced nanotech system that attaches to Daniels spine, allowing him to walk and increasing his physical capabilities. It also extends into a set of high tech armor that surrounds Daniel. Col Thompson is now the leader of Strike Team Alpha, the governments parahuman strike force.

Re: OOC The Quarterly

The idea was to put him into the cell of a para-resistant prison, if it can be done legally.  (Mits has been working hard toward getting permanent legal authority as an Interpol officer since she returned to Earth, but for now has probably gone through the process of getting temporarily deputized for the alien invasion crisis, with no small amount of sitting through "you are not to talk of what you saw aboard the alien ship" lectures from those that do such deputizing.  Which may or may not include authority to arrest suspects.)

A) Guy's probably a mad scientist and has super-tech gadgets for escaping normal prison in his pocket or implanted under his skin.

B) The guy that wants him dead is super-powered, so even if Reeve is somehow completely innocent, it would be in his own best interest to be in a place that could resist a radioactive man attack while he waits out the fallout.

But if it's illegal to save Reeve's life in such a manner, he'll be dropped off in the back alley of that same building.  Mits may be chaotic aligned, but she does not want to be the one the world blames for the Civil Wars style government crackdown on heroes simply because she wanted to rescue a mad scientist in an effective way.  (Nor does she want to have to waste time and money on defending her actions in court.)

Thanks for the warnings, Hotwire. :)

Truth & Justice, I'm so excited about Ant getting the chance to meet the mysterious cloaked dude! :D

And the new power classes is something I've always been a fan of. You did mention someone can be more than one class at a time. For example, Ant would be Thinker Class, but is also Defender Class since that is what her inventions are built towards. When this happens, do they simply classify them as both, or do they say stuff like "She's a Thinker Defender" or something?

Oh! And while I'm on the topic, can we get a list of your NPCs categorized under the power classes? That would be helpful.

Re: OOC The Quarterly

The using objects for defense would be more a personal choice than a function of the powers, the type would be the specific abilities. So Antoinette would be a Thinker Class Inventor Type. Mittens would be Mobility Class Teleporter Type.

Rebound (one of the New Age Defenders) has a force field that absorbs and redirects kinetic energy, allowing him to bounce. So he'd be a Mobility/Defender class.

  Well, first there is the true fact that "Eh, any science jargon beats no science jargon" in a world full of super powers.  Both for asspull comic book logic, and also the fact a post-it note for "how much radiation is 'enough' radiation" at minimum is a good thing to have.  So that part is as much about encouraging them to just give it a shot.

  Second, Matt's not thinking just about Reeves on the subject of "I don't think I'm qualified for that and maybe nothing I do will help". Since my restraint as a player probably isn't helping his mindset on top of the whole Destiny headache for leaving John a cartoon skeleton.

  It's probably for the best Antoinette is the one stuck with the job of explaining the universe wants him to be a Skeleton.

"Wait, wait. Does this mean Traditional Elder things wanted something around that can allow a hobo to kill Cthulhu with a broken bottle, on purpose?"

Look, Matt. Ancient eternal beings get very, very bored. So that could literally be the case for all we the audience know.  You already keep a BMX bike on the moon so you're hardly one to talk.

Had a chance to recoup, 8 hour work day became 10 hour due to a late truck and extra projects being added to the list so.  bleh.

Don't really have a preference of which Kevin is able to meet and RP with first, Wraith.  In a behind the scenes RP, Mittens suggested Kevin seek out Lifelight for a shoulder to lean on for a bit.  And Wraith, yeah that RP would just be pretty damn awesome : )

He probably won't get to answer until he gets home from work, which is around 11 PM ish.  He works second shift, I work first (which is why I get up at 3 AM to go to work and tend to toss my butt in bed between 6 and 9 PM).  So, generally, if I'm posting, he's not, and vice versa k due to work schedules.

As for the RP with Lifelight, not really sure.  He'd likely approach her as Daystar first, it would definitely take a little more guidance from Mittens a bit.  I forget, does Lifelight give out contact information in any way to her fellow heroes or was that just Mittens?  mind is fried and I barely remember last week IRL let alone in game.

Player figured that would probably be the case.  Mits, on the other hand, chooses to view heroes through rose-colored glasses.  B▹3

Justice:
Also Mittens IS a girl, she wouldn't get kicked out


XD  But that hardly factors into Mittens' math at all.  In her eyes we currently have: Iconic hero, Awesome Hero, Legendary hero, Creepy (yet secretly adorable) hero, Outta-this-world hero, Mystic, Sage, interesting new person, and kawaaaaii baby.  Oh yeah.  And herself.  That adds up to at least three times the fun times as if you subtract half the equation.  =n.n=

We're hitting Stavanger, Trondheim, Tromso, the North Cape and Lofoten Islands (plus other stops), arriving back in Southampton on June 29th.

Re: OOC The Quarterly

quote:
There are also movies based on many different real life heroes. There are series' for The Legacy, The New Age Defenders, The Knighthood, and Strike Team Alpha. THe movies also make up details they do not know, for example in the Legacy movies Dragon Fist is asian, and his armor is formed from an amulet given to him by his grandfather. None of which is true, however Mirage is a rich socialite who was attacked by a gang of men when her powers activated, which is very close to the truth.

Seeing as Rodger's 'magic robot clown' status wasn't public knowledge, he would most likely be depicted as a kindly old gentleman who switched back and forth between giving sage advice and being comically worrisome.

Re: OOC The Quarterly

Update notes

NPCs- Added Char sheet for excelsior Link back to this game

Timeline- Made appearance of New Age Defenders 2013, making most of them in their mid-late twenties now

Setting: Paths to Power- added Unique and Alien origins, updated Supersoldier

Unique: Sometimes unique circumstances that do not fall into other categories can result in powers, such as Excelsior being chosen and empowered by the earth, or Machinesmith being changed by the Atlantean artifact. These are taken on a case by case basis and are subject to refusal if the GMs feel they do not fit.

Aliens: Aliens are possible PCs at this point but again on a case by case basis as they are still rare on earth. There is an outer space storyline going on currently so please get an update from GMs before you create character. You may use one of our canon races or make up your own.

The most notable success of creating super-soldiers are Mr. Hurt and his son The Hunter. Mr. Hurt does not posses the parahuman gene, and Don does so recessively, but both posses enhanced abilities beyond what a normal human is capable of.


Setting:Criminal organizations, added several new organizations, added info for others.

The Sharks: Biker gang, primarily arms dealers and hired muscle.

The Fallen Angels: Another biker gang, arms dealers and underground fight rings.

The Carbone Family: Formerly a 'sub-family' in service to the Bertellis Leo Carbone survived where Antonio and his son did not and managed to pull what was left of their organization together with his own to create a place for himself in Weston's underworld. Primary businesses are prostitution and illegal gambling.

The Order of Midnight: A doomsday cult under control of the charismatic Lord of Night. Has a mix of normal humans acting as cannon fodder, and a collection of parahumans and magic users.




Let me know if anyone has any questions, comments, concerns, or ideas concerning the setting.

Re: OOC The Quarterly

Truth:
Flights went well, unfortunately, we did NOT get a fun or nice present upon arrival home.  Some tasteless, classless, obnoxious person or persons unknown broke into our home and ransacked it, then left the front door open.  They stole a LOT of things, including the unopened christmas presents for my 12 year old waiting for him.

What the actual @#$%

Condolences from an internet stranger don't really carry much value, but I wish things were better for your family.

Re: OOC The Quarterly

Actually, I don't consider any of you, our players, to be 'strangers'.  You're all our friends, and it does help to know you too are unhappy with the people who did it.  Justice and I have had the universe of Weston running for a while, like 9+ years, and most of you have been with us for a goodly chunk of that time.  I am just glad I could get the locks changed, since one item stolen was a house key.  I really, really, REALLY didn't want to have to defend my kids by killing someone who came back to hurt us because they already took basically everything of material value we owned.  They only missed a couple things that were eithe bulky, or they didn't understand what they were looking at.

Currently, both my characters (Maverick and Antoinette) are at the Children's Festival. Mav's there because he's a kid. And he's chillin' with Donny Derring Jr. Grandpa Derring also called dibs on Mav when he has a moment (which will likely be between the Festival and whatever night over he has at the Derrings')

Ant's there with Seraph, having done a mostly off-panel hand-waved pamphlet hand-out for local orphanage money raising thing, while giving small demonstrations of her and Seraph's abilities. But since that's done, now they just chillin' at the food area.

We only have a small handful of counties under a 'Stay at home' order but it's a joke as there are about 12 ways you can justify being out and about.  I work for a company that makes water pumps for home protection and farming / irrigation so our owners are saying we're "essential" for now which is fine by me.

Bills see themselves as being "Essential" too.

I’m in Ohio too. Yet I work in an essential business so I have to go to work. The interesting thing is, at the same time the safest, my parents only shop at my store when I’m at work (but not during the hours I work because we still get emptied out by the time I’m on the clock. They have to shop earlier in the day like at the store’s first opening to get what they need.)

Oh, being sick sucks, but it does give you lots of time to post, at least.  I seriously almost wish I could get quarantined, but only almost.  Working at an appliance manufacturing factory, we are  deemed essential  business (dryers?  Really?) but it sure is aggravating when they want to add a bunch of 'social distancing' rules, then make it an impossibility to actually follow them.

Re: OOC The Quarterly

Justice:
Where is Matt attacking the vampires? They will heal unless there is a stake in their heart. Specifically a wooden one.

I'm used to power phrasing from another game long since passed with a similar skillset, that I forgot I never explicitly wrote down the phrase "Could kill dracula with a tire iron" on Monster Matt alongside my usual "Stare medusa in the face".  So it's fair to not apply metaphysical attributes to Matt's offense.

As for where, "Everywhere". The term Powderizing was very literal in Matt's case.  Which would make it very easy for Daystar to just BBQ the remains as suggested by Zhang Xao.

Matt's choice of seeming overkill is as much as anything to reduce the chance of their possessions vanishing in a puff of supernatural logic like a lot of things claim happens when you steak a vampire. On the offchance any clues of use could be retrieved beyond "Yup, those sure were some vampires"

And if they reform from the combo of being blendered into powder and roasted by Daystar, Matt will turn towards the camera, shrug, and then snatch an entire tree with his headtail to stab them with.

Re: OOC The Quarterly

Will try to get a post out tonight.  Got hit with news that my uncle is not doing well.  May be Colon Cancer, May be dyberticulitis, may be a really bad case of tapeworm.

he's been losing weight.  Not wanting to eat.  General feeling of not being well.

All we know for sure is that it isn't COVID-19.  Sadly, this is not a joke -.-  He was tested for it and that came back negative so now they're looking at other situations and tests.

For the record, Truth/Justice... I'm loving the RPs you got going right now. :) With the weapons dealers, Ant is using her paralyze beams for the first time (she doesn't like harming anyone) and is about to use her mech for more than just transporting someone. Fun times! :D

Love the way you RP'd the thugs too. Some are downright puppy-kickers while one at least didn't like the idea of murdering an innocent girl.

@Dane, for 2 action events and 2 story events right now.

@Matt: who said that was the end of the encounter?

@Antoinette: thank you, its nice to feel appreciated. The locos are called that for a reason. The "salesman" is just being pragmatic, and the hesitant Biker has a personal reason for having a soft spot for the disabled (his family). He's a hard guy but he's just trying to make a living. Salesman has been at this a while, is bein the experienced businessman. Loco spokesman is a sadist.

In spite of how absurd he is himself, Matt is always assuming people have more toys than him.

In and out of character, Matt sees a guy making constructs with a lantern ring, Matt assumes "Spaceballs the Flamethrower" is an option.

To be fair, the last time I played a Green Lantern somewhere else, I got shouted down for trying to make constructs of bone eating giant slug monsters from a B grade sci-fi movie to fight a bone monster. )  Until the GM instead complained I was taking too long making small tiny things and let me overkill one-shot them with a Battletech Atlas Mech.

So it's relatable to wonder what exactly you can or can't do with a lantern ring in play by post.

Heya.  So.  Little update.  I've been rather least in sight due to having severe bilateral carpal tunnel.  And it really is messing with me.  Hurts to type.  To write.  To basically use my hands for anything more involved than paperweights or decorations.  Which makes it, well, really difficult to *enjoy* writing.  So please forgive me for not being very active for a while.  We are in the process of trying to get me approved for bilateral carpal tunnel surgery, as that's what I really need done, but it's a process (and a royal pain in the keister).  We all know how *glacial* bureaucracies are at getting someone real HELP when they need it and they can't or should not have to pay for it themselves.  Workers Comp is no different.

Re: OOC The Quarterly

Truth:
I've been rather least in sight due to having severe bilateral carpal tunnel.


Even if the beurocrats didn't stall treatment and Truth got immediate surgery in February, "Some doctors say the long-term view can last from 3 to 12 months. Of course, any complications can extend that time period drastically."  ( https://www.carpalrx.com/carpa...urgery-recovery-time )

And even then, "You probably will not be able to return to your former occupation."

And "because of different outcomes, including poor recovery, complications, etc., about  50% of patients regret having the surgery by year 2."

So I'm expecting that it'll be quite some time before Truth is back in action here.  That said, I got the distinct impression that the game's hosts have a passion for this setting of theirs, which is why I'm willing to keep watching this place for their return.

Wouldn't be against someone starting up a new game in the interim, hint hint wink wink.

Oof, sorry to hear.  Hope you're getting good treatment.  As for whether running a game would be good for you or not is up to you.  Of the many gamemasters I know, I can't think of any who don't have some sort of challenge they're facing, (myself included) and some of them say that running a game is good therapy.  Others say it is stressful.  Either way, screaming lunacy isn't so much a problem.  (It's an asset for one of 'em.)  It's an unwillingness to work with the challenges that the players are dealing with that I have a problem with.

Truth/Justice gave me permission to run side things here, but currently, I am having trouble thinking of something. That said, I haven't stopped thinking about this place or occasionally pondering what I could do to make a fun RP for you guys in the meantime.

One idea I had would take place inside someone's mind (presumably one of my two characters, or just an NPC).

The other idea would take place in the north pole and involve Santa Clause, but I'm hesitant to try that without clearing with Truth/Justice that Santa exists in this setting.

Or some super trying to pose as the cultural character, for whatever reason.

One of my original henchclown "minion" concepts had a Santa-style suit. Who knows who might be bonded to that suit now, some years later?

Re: OOC The Quarterly

If you all are game, I'll run the mind one. And then when that one gets resolved, if Truth/Justice are not back yet, I'll run the Santa one.

Truth and Justice, keep ever vigilant! We love you guys and miss you, yet are happy you take care of yourselves!

Re: OOC The Quarterly

Think kind of like The Matrix. You would still be you with whatever abilities you have, but you would exist in a world that only emulates the rules of the real world. So although your powers would appear to affect the environment, you aren't actually physically affecting anything.

So Rodger's magic is even more of a mind screw than usual. How would the costs of a power work within this "Matrix?"

Re: OOC The Quarterly

It would work however your powers work normally, but as an emulation. So if you needed a blood sacrifice, you would take one of the people/creatures from the place and offer a blood sacrifice. It wouldn't be a real person or creature, but then the magic technically wouldn't be real either. But it would be real enough to affect the world you are stuck in. :)

Why do you ask? Getting ideas?

In reply to Maverick Sargas (msg # 916):

Rodger gets his mana via his henchclowns. Their pain becomes power that sustains the whole group, and can be spent (in various flavors) to fuel Rodger's spells.

There's also the mindmail part of his system, letting the clowns mentally communicate via a form of email. Not sure how that would mess with your plans either.

Re: OOC The Quarterly

Hmm... that could potentially add to the story. Especially if I go with "an hour inside the person's mind is a minute in the real world" antics. So I'll leave it to you if you want your henchclowns stuck with you, or have them actually outside and they give you occasional updates, but it takes longer for you to get updates than normal? Sound fun?

Same rules as real world, so if you go for genre makeover, it would work the same; go aside with the proper makeup/tools and such. Otherwise, you look like how you normally look. :)

Re: OOC The Quarterly

Bureaucrats are a blight on the world.  I'm still fighting to try and get said carpal tunnel treated.  Hands are pure crap (used to be able to touch type 120+ wpm, can't touch type at ALL anymore because damn hands are numb most of the time) and typing actually gets downright painful at times.  Plus a lot of other crap IRL going on.  But if y'all are up for it, we can try and get things back to active.  For those of you authorized to use GM/Mod powers to help out, believe me, I appreciate it.  Justice works 2nd shift, I work a slightly wonky third shift, with one teenager and one toddler in the house.  Toddler is the one that takes up more time, as he likes to get into things.  Now, I do have some ideas, but y'all will need to be patient with me.  Who's game for some mysterious stuffs?

Re: OOC The Quarterly

I should note that since the RP I'm running takes place inside someone's head, it can be happening ANY time before or after what Justice runs. Part of why I came up with it was so RP with Truth/Justice could happen regardless of my side plot. :)

Re: OOC The Quarterly

Well, there's now three dangling hooks for y'all to nibble on.  One of them actually went out a while ago, but it may have gotten lost in the mayhem.  Check Downtown Weston and the Mall.

And with a babbling parrot of a 3 year old, text to speech might produce some HORRIBLE things like half a post then a lecture about getting into big brother's room and wrecking it.

And yes, depression sucks.  It sucks dirty gym socks soaked in swamp water.  As a recently (within the last year) diagnosed Bipolar type 2, I know.  All too freaking well.  Depression blows, as does anxiety.  Add chronic pain, stress, constantly short on sleep and having wonky blood sugar, it makes for life to be interesting in the Chinese sense of the word.

Re: OOC The Quarterly

As a heads up, looks like RPOL is doing a big sweep to put inactive games in the deletion zone (probably in prep for the new UI being mandatory on the 23rd).

So if you wanted to keep your other games like new beginnings around for your own reference, now would be the time to undelete those.

As much because the only post I have seen about this mentions they can't find the undelete/resurrect button on the new UI, only the current/old UI.
