I regret not using other types of stress in encounters so far. Particularly, not thinking I could attack Count Nefaria until he'd been exploded by Dr. Strange, because who doesn't like the idea of Tony Stark pumping the audio track from his sex tape through his armor? Maybe I will borrow your Hulk, good sir!

Yes, he is much like Ric Flair in that way. And many others, such as his unclear role with regards to many people's parentage. But yeah, I probably don't need to throttle that stuff back much. Our team has Iron Man, Dr. Strange and She-Hulk with Carnage powers, so putting the hammer down on some fools is good.

He's in the standard Annihilation book, too. Wonder if they're different files, like Iron Man got?

I just noticed there's a character sheet for Eros the Starfox. I feel like the character sheet doesn't really encapsulate the character, which is to say reading it didn't make me physically uncomfortable. Great stuff on the rest, though! I like the sample mini-adventures to power a character up in particular, since you can tweak the power dice up or down as appropriate and it fits into most campaigns neatly. Have them get beat up the first time, and they're like "we're gonna need a bigger boat." Then they GET ONE.

Thanks to this new avatar, I am tempted to have the Watcher appear in our game but in the form of a giant disembodied JJJ head. Anyone else who GMs, I've basically been racking up Doom Dice in early fights for a big blowoff, but what are some other ways to make a villain really knock some heads around that don't revolve around giving myself tons of big dice? (druggeddwarf don't read this)

Well, it really helps if the players who don't have a real generalized milestone take one that's related to the event. I'm kinda seeing this in my game, where She-Hulk doesn't have a lot of opportunities to gain XP because the scenario we're in doesn't lend itself to lawyering or banging. I'd just say that you should try and keep them in mind when you're running a mission (something I didn't really do this time... sorry, Sion).

One thing I really like about the PDF versions is that all the notes like "see p.88" pets you click on that number and jump straight there, and especially useful on the table of contents and index. Pretty slick.

He's only started as a minor character with no milestones and such, like Eros the Starfox. I was holding on for the full version in the next book.

I guess since we won't get the Age of Apocalypse supplement, I will have to write my own. I do rather like the idea of having a random roll table to determine what the alternate version of a character is, which was mentioned earlier in this thread.

Solomonic posted:Count me in if you need an extra person for any goon MHR projects. I've put together a bunch of unofficial stuff and designed a Mass Effect hack for it, and I'd love to do more, especially in a community setting (the previous stuff was just for the group I GM'd for). Do you happen to have any of your Mass Effect stuff in an easily-circulated format? I'd like to check it out.

So this is the thread for posting stuff we made, right? I made this guy. Figured maybe if Tony Stark was going to be away from Stark Tower a lot he might want someone to watch the place, and who better than...quote:ADAM JENSEN For the augment SFX, I wanted to simulate having a bunch of different options but only having the resources to use them sparingly. In this case, plot point = candy bar, while the combat stuff was supposed to represent his more pedestrian skills (and also, his subdermal body armor, which I imagine you can't just shut down with an EMP, but whatever). I also wanted to try and represent the different parts of the game, though the sheet is going to skew more towards combat than sneaking, hacking or dialogue. And yes, I did use a Deus Ex wiki to look up the name of all those augments.

Solomonic posted:This is one I don't think I've seen anyone use before, so it stands out a lot by virtue of innovation. The 50SI book has all the Initiative trainees (even the ones who mattered for, like, one issue before no one ever cared about them again), and X-Men has the newer crop of Xavier students, so it'd be pretty easy to do a 'next generation' type game. I bought it just because it had War Machine in it and I was like "well gently caress, gotta have Rhodey."

I learned about Civil War from Ultimate Alliance 2 and MightyGodKing's recap. I hope Dr. Strange is ready to assume the alternate identity used by Goliath in what I assume is totally unedited canon: Buttsex McLiberace, Male Prostitute.

Cable is in Civil War, he's just the Cable and Deadpool-era Cable who used advanced technology because his powers were burnt out. Precognition is a tough thing to handle, though. I think maybe it's something you handle more with your Watcher than your powersheet.

Well, that wiki will be quite the project. Guess I could add the Gambit sheet I use since I have it handy. In-person campaign update: In this terrifying alternate universe, James Rhodes became Iron Man, and then he also became Captain America when Cap retired in favor of him because he is so great. This is all much to the frustration of the guy playing Iron Man, who has gone from being Billionaire Playboy Tony Stark to Iron Captain America's best pal and mechanic. The best he has done now is a woman told him he can hang out with her for 15 minutes if they can introduce her to Rhodey. Also the Naked Clone of Thor we pulled out of a tank became a player character because someone dropped in partway through and hell if I had any other character sheets handy. Despite being known as Naked Thor, he actually wears a shower curtain (as a kilt or cape, depending on the situation) and a fruit hat now. They are now in space hanging out with the Kree, having barely escaped the Annihilation Wave.

I thinkquote:SFX: Homo Superior. Step up or double any MASTER OF MAGNETISM power for one action. If that action fails, take mental stress equal to that power die. Should be renamed "SFX: Make way for the Homo Superior" but I'm a sucker for David Bowie references.

The difference is mainly semantic. A complication is something centered on hindering enemies, while an asset is centered around helping an ally. Doesn't mean you can't, in the process, do the other thing with them, but it's the main idea. Compromised Security was, in that case, expressed as an asset because she was putting holes in their security to exploit later (hence the PP) rather than just wrecking things up. I do agree that it's not a very good example, because you can kind of see that one both ways depending on the context. The way I see it is if the thing is more likely to help friends than it is to harm enemies, it's an asset. If it's the other way around, it's a complication. When Black Cat fought Also gonna throw out a couple of suggestions for Gambit because I play him in another game: rather than kinetic blast, I use kinetic mastery (usually d10, kind of depends on the scale of game we're playing) since Gambit isn't shooting energy beams at poo poo but is energizing things around him. I also give him a SFX that enhances the creation of attack assets, like this: quote:SFX: Bigger Object, Bigger Charge. When creating a KINETIC MASTERY asset, add a d6 and step up your effect die by +1. Because all the best uses of Gambit's powers have been things like "charge a car, then have Colossus throw it at something and watch as it goes off like an H-bomb."

I often use PP to represent finite things (for example, energy cells on my Adam Jensen sheet). However, you could also make it so that dealing physical trauma allows them to create an asset that they can add to rolls against demons. That way, they can throw it in to insta-kill demons that come in packs (so that if you have, say, a pack of regular d6 demons, a d8 effect will instant kill one) but more powerful demons will be like "ha ha ha, you think that a normal soul can harm me, the Lord of Demons?"
