Trained Chicken Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 Re: [interest in an online game?] Avengers: Generation 3 By the way, I just got through reading about 70% of your two most recent adventures, and I read and enjoyed your origin story where the team is reborn. and I am more convinced than ever that I couldn't add much to your fun. Everyone's got a great handle on the characterization and interactions, and you're all a lot of fun to read. Very pleased with the way things are going thus far and I will be following along as you go. That having been said, I'm toying with a legacy of the old Soviet mutant Vanguard. Will post, if appropriate, Bill, when I'm done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teh bunneh Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 Re: [interest in an online game?] Avengers: Generation 3 One question to the Chicken... Emissary has sort of a grab-bag of powers. He's got the malleable body schtick (from his exposure to the Terragen gas, I assume), and the Cosmic Powers bit (from his Inhuman heritage), and the protective uniform/armor, but he's also got a bunch of mental powers. How do those fit in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trained Chicken Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 Re: [interest in an online game?] Avengers: Generation 3 You're right- the power set is not very well-defined. At some point, with experience, he would probably radiation accident to a Cosmic pool. The current state shows that he is capable of running only a few different applications, whereas he has the potential to have almost any power imaginable. At this time, he has normal metamorph abilities (desolid, invisibility, density increase, shape shift, and various body-morphing powers); non-aggressive telepathic abilities (mind link, receptive telepathy, and mind scanning), energy projection abilities (EB, RKA), and telekinetic abilities (force field, flight, various cape powers). His physical and mental stats fall within the parameters of established Terrigen-enhanced Inhumans currently known, so I don't think those need any extra explaining unless you want to collaborate on them. The explanation for his Terrigen-induced powerset is advanced biomorphing ability- not only is he able to change his body in ways normal metamorphs can, but he can also manufacture new organs (or modify his existing ones) to manifest powers his normal form could not generate. This may or may not be a suitable explanation for you. It makes sense to me, but I can see how a GM would be wary of it since it could very easily lead to abuse. And, OOC, if you want to have a reference point for his power set, he started as a powered-down version of the Martian Manhunter, who has a fairly similar power set. It's also the genesis of his weakness to fire and heat SFX. I thought that vulnerability to toxins and poisons might be more appropriate, but this vulnerability would be all but nullified by his envirosuit, so I stuck with fire and heat.

Trained Chicken Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 Re: [interest in an online game?] Avengers: Generation 3 I have had this sitting on my hard drive for some time- the .pdf version of Avengers Coast to Coast from TSR back in the old days for the MSH Advanced set. While the character write-ups are hopelessly out of date, it has good data on the Charter and Avengers' relationship with the government at that time (about 1987 I think). I'm not sure what is still under copyright, but I imagine I can excerpt from the book to at least post the Charter and Bylaws if you want to (as soon as I figure out how to get it excerpted and posted, that is). Let me know if you want this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The original concept was a man of science trapped inside the body of a monster- the dual identity thing came shortly thereafter. Like all things Stan Lee "invented", it took someone else to make it work. Also, in the Avengers Coast-to-Coast pdf (and presumably the original book), someone wrote out the signatures longhand. Hulk's signature was big block letters, while everyone else wrote in cursive. Even then he was rather direct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Leader is probably some philistine who teaches over in the Engineering Department, jealous because Hulk has all the cute girl graduate students.

Have you noticed how poorly sexy the green color make those characters ? In fact most character with green skin are just ugly. With maybe the exception of Miss Hulk, imho.

Fedifensor Posted December 29, 2007 Report Share Posted December 29, 2007 Avengers: The Next Generation Still need reservists, Bunny? I could always pick up your discarded concept for Magni (altered to reflect the current state of the Asgardians). Besides, you obviously don't have enough bricks on the team... Of course, aside from the challenge of writing up a son of Thor on 600 points, I'd have to figure out how to write the accent. Dropping in 'thee' and 'thy' is easy...but doing it with style is hard.

teh bunneh Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 Re: [interest in an online game?] Avengers: Generation 3 In the past two weeks, I've had four or five people ask to join the Avengers and/or Thunderbolts games. I am honestly and deeply flattered that people want to play in my game and I'd like to thank them all. That makes turning them down really, really hard. But unfortunately, I've got all the players I can handle right now. If that changes I'll consider new submissions. I hope folks'll keep reading, and I welcome comments (good or bad) at any time. Bill. (Hey Log, how's that Alpha Flight idea of yours coming?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
