The Con Game

[Eyendasky80]

These are the write-ups I'll be using at Kubla Con. I actually volunteered to run this twice. Once with the following write-ups and again with Sidekick rules in the Young Players section. Any suggestions for improvement would be helpful.

 

I got a lot of good ideas from Allendral's write-ups and I cleared it with him before I swiped'em. So to give credit where credits due, the really good stuff is his.

 

So the game's set in Marvel's Ultimate Universe and the basic premise is that on the same weekend Spidey is visiting his friends at Xavier's School, Normon Osborn comes out of his Coma and springs Magneto from his cell in the Triskellion. So I'm teaming up to seven X-Men with Spider-Man to take on Magneto and the Brotherhood and Osborn's six.

 

If you aren't familar with the six they are actually only five, Spidey was Osborn's last accomplice to make an even six. He coerced him into attacking the white house with him, Doc Ock, Sandman, Electro and Kraven. All of these guys will make at least a cameo appearance. Magneto's Brotherhood will consist of Blob, Mastermind, Toad and Taskmaster. The role of "Horde of Goons" will be played by Multiple Man.

 

So I'll start with X-Men. I have to put my daughter to bed soon, so I might have to finish this up later.

Re: The Con Game

 

I have LOTS of problems with this write up. Of course, I think the X-Men and Spidey are toast if you run this right since Mags has taken on a full X-Men team by himself before.

 

Wolvie should not have the SPD aid.

 

Needs equivalent energy reduction.

 

Needs LS: reduced aging and immune to most poisons.

 

Don't build his claws illegally. Just give him 2 1/2 D6 HKA and then buy a naked power advantage(AP x 2 on STR) so that his STR adds 1 for 1 to the damage. That would give him 4D6 or so which is a bit closer to reality. Wolive kills trained fighters on one hit all the time(e.g. - Hand Ninjas) - so he needs to be doing at least 14 BODY per shot.

 

Add WF: Common Melee, Common Martial Arts, WE: blades WF: Small Arms

 

Add Lang. : Russian, German, French

 

And the rivalry isn't built right. Wolvie wouldn't kill Cyclops to get Jean, and not just because he knows it wouldn't work.

Okay, thanks for the constructive criticism. Maybe you're channeling some Simon from the new Idol season? Listen, appreciate the help but if you turn your condescension dial down a couple notches it'll be most appreciated. And if you're kidding me here, throw a couple smilies in so I know, cuz it sort of makes me self-conscious about sharing.

Wolvie should not have the SPD aid.

Why?

Needs equivalent energy reduction.

Negative, I don't see how having unbreakable bones makes you fire proof. And, if you look at issue 44 you'll see that he gets his leg fried right the heck off.

Needs LS: reduced aging and immune to most poisons.

I see your logic here.

Don't build his claws illegally. Just give him 2 1/2 D6 HKA and then buy a naked power advantage(AP x 2 on STR) so that his STR adds 1 for 1 to the damage. That would give him 4D6 or so which is a bit closer to reality. Wolive kills trained fighters on one hit all the time(e.g. - Hand Ninjas) - so he needs to be doing at least 14 BODY per shot.

I cribbed this build of Allendral and I'm not sure where it's illegal. Clarify.

Add WF: Common Melee, Common Martial Arts, WE: blades WF: Small Arms

No, no, no and no. He has not demonstrated any of these abilities. Although he probably does have Small arms and blades at least. Not necessary in a super heroic campaign to buy weapon familiarity, though.

 

Add Lang. : Russian, German, French

I see no reason to.

 

And the rivalry isn't built right. Wolvie wouldn't kill Cyclops to get Jean, and not just because he knows it wouldn't work.

He already tried to kill him once. You realize this is the Ultimate versions of the X-Men, don't you?

Re: The Con Game

 

You may want to reconsider having Kitty Pryde as a possible available character in a convention game. Since the character has essentially no offense, someone playing her might get pretty bored in the game during the fight scenes.

[Mike W]

Re: The Con Game

 

Okay, thanks for the constructive criticism. Maybe you're channeling some Simon from the new Idol season? Listen, appreciate the help but if you turn your condescension dial down a couple notches it'll be most appreciated. And if you're kidding me here, throw a couple smilies in so I know, cuz it sort of makes me self-conscious about sharing.

 

Why?

 

Negative, I don't see how having unbreakable bones makes you fire proof. And, if you look at issue 44 you'll see that he gets his leg fried right the heck off.

 

I see your logic here.

 

I cribbed this build of Allandrel and I'm not sure where it's illegal. Clarify.

 

No, no, no and no. He has not demonstrated any of these abilities. Although he probably does have Small arms and blades at least. Not necessary in a super heroic campaign to buy weapon familiarity, though.

 

I see no reason to.

 

 

He already tried to kill him once. You realize this is the Ultimate versions of the X-Men, don't you?

 

Didn't realize that this was the Ultimate version. I was tired and missed it. And if I came across as cranky I'm sorry it was the end of a bad day.

 

A lot of the other stuff was based on the "standard" universe so, not being an Ultimates guy I'm not sure how much of that he would have to have.

 

WF: You still need to have WF in supers campaigns for anything you didn't pay points for. So Wolvie still has to pay points for WF: Blades to use a sword unless you buy him a sword.

 

The claws build doesn't make sense to me as it is worded. But either way, it should still need to be higher than 3D6 total since he needs enough body to drop a decent mook(who would have a couple extra body) right off the bat. Also, regardless of whether they are a natural weapon or not, you are still capped at double the DCs of the original attack and the AP Penetrating reduce how much extra he would get from his STR, so if he has 1D6 base, he would only have 1D6+1 before martial arts which could add, at most , 2DCs(martial attacks that add 10 STR only add 1DC to killing attacks). At MOST, he could have 2D6 with everything added in with the current build. Finally, martial arts add damage, but they do NOT add to the base. So if the base is 1D6, the most he can EVER do, is 2D6 no matter how many different thing he has that add to the damage.

 

And unless the power levels are radically different in the Ultimatge universe...I still think the X-Men and Spidey are gonna be hard pressed to win. Mags is incredibly scary and to give him enough help that one of the heroes may have to go 1 on 1 with him...Yikes!

She's definitely on the sidelines. Unless someone really wants to play her. Good call, Rune. Ditto for Angel, that guy usually stays in the jet anyway.

Re: The Con Game

 

Didn't realize that this was the Ultimate version. I was tired and missed it. And if I came across as cranky I'm sorry it was the end of a bad day.

No worries, Friday was hell for me as well. Long story short. My co-workers took off for the bar after a going away party for someone's last day. I was the only one went back to the office after the party and there was a message regarding some paperwork that needed to be filed that day. Apparently, the person assigned to the case hadn't gotten to it all week and now the deadline had come and he had lost the orginal documents. The message didn't have a discernable name or contact number so I had to make like a hundred calls, first to the co-worker to find out what company we were working with... you know this story isn't very short... anyway once I got the company I started calling them, after about half dozen calls found out I had been given the wrong company name, called the right people about a half dozen times to get the original documents faxed again. Processed the paperwork and brought down to the bar to have it signed by the boss. Had a couple beers, mission accomplished. Hopefully, we won't get dinged. During this, my wife called and told me she lost my paycheck on the way to the bank. It turned out she didn't but the added stress was not helpful during the time.

 

A lot of the other stuff was based on the "standard" universe so, not being an Ultimates guy I'm not sure how much of that he would have to have.

Well, for starters he has tried to kill Cyke, twice, I recalled another time. Power set is basically the same, it's background, skills stuff that's different. And appearance, he's quite a bit taller in Ultimate-land.

 

WF: You still need to have WF in supers campaigns for anything you didn't pay points for. So Wolvie still has to pay points for WF: Blades to use a sword unless you buy him a sword.

Noted, sounds good.

 

The claws build doesn't make sense to me as it is worded. But either way, it should still need to be higher than 3D6 total since he needs enough body to drop a decent mook(who would have a couple extra body) right off the bat. Also, regardless of whether they are a natural weapon or not, you are still capped at double the DCs of the original attack and the AP Penetrating reduce how much extra he would get from his STR, so if he has 1D6 base, he would only have 1D6+1 before martial arts which could add, at most , 2DCs(martial attacks that add 10 STR only add 1DC to killing attacks). At MOST, he could have 2D6 with everything added in with the current build. Finally, martial arts add damage, but they do NOT add to the base. So if the base is 1D6, the most he can EVER do, is 2D6 no matter how many different thing he has that add to the damage.

You talk sense, hombre, I think I will do the claws over. I was pretty pleased with Allendral's build, but if it's illegal, then maybe I'll do something else.

Take a look at his Wolverine and tell me if he makes more sense than me.

Wolverine

 

And unless the power levels are radically different in the Ultimatge universe...I still think the X-Men and Spidey are gonna be hard pressed to win. Mags is incredibly scary and to give him enough help that one of the heroes may have to go 1 on 1 with him...Yikes!

Well, I am the GM so I will most assuredly make a foe who is defeatable. Fun is more important than accuracy. I took a more streamlined approach to Jean Grey than Allendral, she may not be able to do everything she's portrayed as doing in the books, but she's less of a headache.

Excellent use of Variable Limitations on Cyclops!

That would be the genius of Allendral. He's pretty slick.

I'd actually go further. It isn't really strictly rules-koesher, but....

 

Buy Cyc a 0-end, continuous blast in his multipower, then give him "always on" as a 4th option.

This way he can just open his eyes and fire out a low intensity blast forever.

The only way I'd be willing to do that is to reduce the disad to -0 since he can close his eyes anytime he wants, effectively eliminating the always on disad. So it's kind of superfluous to this version.

I was doing some more thinking on the claws bit and I decided that 3d6 is plenty as a lot of Wolverine's most brutal attacks are obviosly called shots such as decapitating Sabretooth or "disARMing" a brotherhood mook holding a bomb detonator. I may or may not elimnate the DC levels from the total, I'd like to hear more opinions on the legality and (more importantly) how accurately if reflects Wolverine's fighting style. To me, it seems he's more technique than brute force.

Re: The Con Game

 

Wolvie has always been mor technique than brute force. If you're going to use the hit location tables then 3D6 probably will be enough. I don't know many who use them in a supers game though so I usually base things on them not being in play.

 

Extra DCs can add to a killing attack at the same rate other maneuvers add to killing attack(ie. 2 DCs gives you +1DC killing). It's in the Ultimate Martial Artist.

Re: The Con Game

 

It's not that I'm going to allow it, it's more like whoever wrote Wolverine one-shot killing Sabretooth was allowing hit location. I'm sure he won't be as lethal in my game, but I'm willing to accept that for game balance. He'll be able to go toe-to-toe with most people and break them, but he's not going to be mowing everyone down without pause.

 

Whatabout that AID to speed? You had an issue with it?

Re: The Con Game

 

I used some Birthday gift cards to pick up Ultimate X-Men Vol. 1. Wolverine can regenerate from Death as indicated by his captors in the comic. You should bump up Regeneration to Res level.
