The Sidekick Lounge (OOC)

I'm going to add everyone who's RTJ'd so far as their username and let everyone hash out heroes together.

I'd also like to discuss whether you want to start out as a group or discover that as we play.

The Sidekick Lounge (OOC)

Hello and greetings, friends! 'Tis I, Nintaku! I'm hoping to participate as Squirrel Girl, if that's alright with everyone else.

Hi Nintaku! I've thrown my hat into the ring for either Shiver Man, Jack of Hearts, or Conan the Barbarian. I'm psyched to see where this all leads!

12thDoctor: Not sure if you're old enough to remember it, but you can probably find a youtube of it. Conan makes me think of Phil Hartman's "Caveman Lawyer" skit on SNL back in the early 90s.

Here we go:

Oh please be the Arnold version of Conan. The world needs that kind of energy doing odd jobs for Marvel's supers. XD

Not the Arnold version, the Savage Avengers version.

Arnold Conan's milestones could be:

THE BEST THINGS IN LIFE
Crush your enemies ... 1XP when you step an opponent past D12 physical stress
See them driven before you ... 3XP when a scene ends with your opponent fleeing
Hear the lamentation of their women ... 10XP [gotta ponder this one]

:-)

Re: The Sidekick Lounge (OOC)

Feels like we're all leaning towards having a Conan in the party, which is great by me. He already has an existing datafile which I'm happy to run with, though those Movie Conan milestones are awfully tempting...

Re: The Sidekick Lounge (OOC)

My only concern with Conan is to keep it light. Running around cutting everyone's head off is the wrong tone.

I think you can achieve it with the right Distinctions and Milestones.

Re: The Sidekick Lounge (OOC)

I completely agree that it'd be incumbent on me to not derail the story. I'm thinking that by establishing relationships with the other characters early, and having the ground rules laid out for him (maybe even ahead of time & working it into an early post), I can keep the "savage" without relying quite as much on the "sword."

Re: The Sidekick Lounge (OOC)

Hi, y’all!

I wanted to play Moondragon, or maybe Dazzler, Hellcat, Tigra, or Firebird. If they’re not D-List enough, I could go more obscure!

Re: The Sidekick Lounge (OOC)

Hey everyone.

The list I gave the Watcher was: Speedball, Dazzler, Shaman, Sasquatch, Husk, or Firefly. Though I've also added Slapstick to my list. Not sure how goofy we're going with characters themsevles vs otherwise serious characters in goofy situations.

Glad to see there's almost no overlap.

I'm good with either starting solo or starting as a group, but if we're starting solo, I'd request that we group up almost immediately. As this is PBP, grouping up could take months to get through.

I for one would be fascinated to find out how Moondragon wound up doing odd jobs.

My thought exactly! Moondragon surprisingly plays well in satirical stories, like Peter David’s CAPTAIN MARVEL. Plus, imagine the conversations between Moondragon & Conan.

I’m mean, Speedball practically writes half the story just by participating in the scenes! He’s already dated Squirrel Girl, so there’s a prior relationship. I’d love seeing Sasquatch or Husk as your Plan B. Shaman could be fun for the ironic factor.

Re: The Sidekick Lounge (OOC)

Agreed; there's a ton of potential for all of these!
