Work is kicking my ass right now, so I may not be on tomorrow to post an action. If Mayhem would like, they can post an action first.

Appreciate the check-in, Spidey. I hope J. Jonah Jameson isn't being too hard on you over at the Bugle.

I know our Mayhem player has had some things come up IRL too. I'll reach out to them, or maybe they'll see this post first.

I'm going to try to post tomorrow sometime during the day. Just got home from work and crashing tonight.

@Spidey Cool, I should have a new post up today also.

Anyone catch the Venom 2 trailer with Carnage? Looks entertaining.

Yes it showcases our best features. Our bond with Eddie and how wonderful of a host he was. "Damn it Venom its like listening to a teenager."

I am all good with the re-engineering of this mechanic.
Thank you.

Planning to have a new game post up tomorrow evening.

I got to play in a month-long MHR mini-campaign through Discord recently. The GM ran the Breakout intro adventure straight from the Marvel Heroic Roleplaying Basic Game handbook. I played Iron Fist (of course) and teamed up with Captain America, Daredevil, and Ms. Marvel. We took on loads of villains, and I even got to tangle with Carnage!

So I wanted to pass on to this group that Discord is a great platform for anyone interested in connecting with other RPG players. My group played over the built-in voice chat features, and the GM arranged for dice rolls and visuals through the Roll20 website. The main server I peruse is "Cortex Roleplaying," focused on MHR and its parent system Cortex, found here: https://discord.gg/7KyAgVhh

You can find me there under Sac-Man #5201. Happy roleplaying!

I accidentally reloaded the Dice Roller and re-rolled my attack. Please disregard the second roll.

Bigger whoops!!

According to the SFX I used, I was supposed to step up Superhuman Strength from d10 to d12. Instead, I doubled it to 2d10.

Do I need to reroll, boss? Or should we just fudge it?

@Moon Knight Your catching that and pointing it out is appreciated. *Ordinarily I'd probably have you re-roll that die, but I won't sweat it this time.

*Chief reasoning being that a d12 effect die could be handy for you in stepping down a counterattacking effect die from those 3 opportunities you rolled. But seeing as the Symbiote Voltron's Affiliation dice can only take a d8 of stress anyway, I suspect it won't make a difference.

**I also totally forgot if I had been applying the rule about larger effect dice stepping back those from counterattacks. Looks like I forgot to do it way back in Msg #249, but it should have applied there too.

One of these days we'll see a dice add up to higher than 11 and we will be confused.

In reply to Venom (msg # 364):

@Venom Glad to see things worked out for you on this roll, for a change!

Edit: And here's a reminder that those in the Symbiote Voltron have the "Symbiote Fusion" one-use assets available to them (minus Spidey, who already used his). Assume that it represents an extra strength boost from the fusion. Moon Knight and Mayhem's are rated at d12, and Venom's at d10 (I guess he doesn't benefit from working together as much as the others). I meant to do more with those assets but forgot about it, so apologies if it wasn't clear.

It's been a slow week, so let's shake things up a bit. Please welcome American Dream to the game!

Hello everyone! :)  I GM'ed a campaign set in this system but I haven't looked at the rules for three years I think so I need some time to recall the ins and outs of it but it looks like a fun campaign. :)

cheat sheet for play  http://nerdnyc.com/tmp/marvel/Hero-Cheat-Sheet.pdf

Hi there!

so when can I jump in? after this fight is over? that way I can jump in at a logical time

@American Dream I'll leave it up to you, but I'm happy to let you join in the current battle if you like.

can you summarize what's been happening? It's like a 22 page thread! :)

In reply to American Dream (msg # 372):

Absolutely! I've been meaning to post a recap here for a while now actually. Here goes:

Act I (Msg #1 - Msg #110)

- Cletus Kasady escapes from Ravencroft Asylum along with the sonic-powered supervillainess, Shriek
- While rampaging across NYC, they recruit Carrion, Demogoblin, and the Spider-Man Doppelganger into the "Carnage Family"
- With Mayor Norman Osborn letting Kasady run wild, and many prominent heroes absent or out of commission, various heroes and vigilantes gather to stop Carnage

Act II (Msg #110 - Msg #325)

- Daredevil, Spider-Man, and Venom wind up at Yankee Stadium, battling the other members of Carnage's Family in a twisted game of baseball
- Meanwhile, the vigilantes track Carnage to Moon Knight's base of operations, where Kasady has set up shop
- After destroying the base, Carnage takes Domino to Yankee Stadium in Moon Knight's stolen helicopter
- As he attempts to follow Carnage, Moon Knight is brought into the Darkforce Dimension by Cloak and Dagger, where they are trapped by the demonic "Predator"

Act III (Msg #325 - Present)

- The Predator allows Moon Knight and his companions to return to the city after they agree to give him Kasady's soul in exchange
- While the heroes and vigilantes-- joined by Mayhem, Tigra, and Spider-Woman-- battle the "Carnage-Copter," Dagger is killed
- Seemingly killed by Moon Knight's magic dagger borrowed from the Predator, Kasady is instead empowered and transformed
- Spider-Man, Mayhem, Moon Knight, Tigra, and Venom fuse into a "Symbiote Voltron" and battle the super-sized Carnage alongside their allies

... And if you can believe it, this has probably all happened in the course of one night. That's the story so far!

Currently active player characters highlighted in bold. Happy to elaborate on anything, or PC's can help also (preferably in-game). Shannon might not be privy to everything listed, but probably most of Act I and maybe parts of II/III.

I think I'll wait until this round is completed. :)

In reply to American Dream (msg # 374):

No problem. I know Daredevil has been busier as of late, so we may just be waiting on posts from our Spider-People to complete the current round.

When American Dream throws her mighty shield,
All those who chose to oppose her shield must yield.
If she's led to a fight and a duel is due,
Then the red and the white and the blue'll come through.
When American Dream throws her mighty shield.

You're dating yourself.  :D
