Backstory
When did you officially become a part of your legacy? When I got bit by a Spider
What’s the greatest accomplishment of your legacy? So far? When I threw Octopus' artificial Sun into the river to save the school.
How does the public perceive your legacy? The people love Spider-man. Spider-woman is an important member of the Avengers. Media representation is not always good.
How does your legacy tie into your reasons for being a hero? Learning to use my powers to help people.
Why do you care about the team? Need help in figuring out how best to use my powers.
Legacy moves: Words of the past, never give up
Words of the past: When you seek the guidance
of one of your elders or a member of your legacy,
tell them a problem you face, and ask them a
question about the problem. They will answer
it honestly, and tell you what to do. Take +1
ongoing if you listen. If you go your own way,
mark potential.
Never give up, never surrender: When you
take a powerful blow from someone with far
greater power than you, use this move instead
of the basic move. Roll + Savior. On a hit, you
stand strong and choose one. On a 7-9, mark a
condition.
- you get an opportunity or opening against
your attacker
- you rally from the hit, and it inspires the
team; add 1 Team to the pool
- you keep your attacker’s attention
On a miss, you go down hard but leave your
opponent off balance and vulnerable.
Relationships
You once got caught doing something that shames your legacy with Harry Osborn.
You trust Octopus and told them an important secret of your legacy.
Legacy
Your legacy is an important part of Halcyon City.
Name the different members of your legacy (at least two):
Spider-Man & Spider-woman are still active and prominent in the city.
Madam Web is retired and quite judgmental.
Basaq is the next possible member of your legacy?
Green Goblin (Harry Osborn) is the greatest opponent your legacy ever faced...and is still at large.
Whenever time passes, roll + Savior to see how the members of your legacy feel or react to your
most recent exploits. Before rolling, ask the other players to answer these questions about your
performance. Take -1 to the roll for each “no” answer:
- have you been upholding the traditions of your legacy?
- have you maintained the image of your legacy?
- have you made the other members of your legacy proud?
On a hit, one of them offers you meaningful encouragement, an opportunity, or an advantage. On
a 7-9, another is upset with your most recent actions, and will make their displeasure known. On
a miss, something you did stirred up the hornet’s nest—expect several members of your legacy to
meddle with your life.
