MilkmanDan Posted May 27, 2006 Report Share Posted May 27, 2006 Re: [Online Game]New 'Marvel: Next Generation' game I made a few tweaks to Electron back on page 12. Nothing major, updated the Radar to "electromagnetic sense" (Spatial Awareness), shuffled some skills around, tried to make everything seem a bit more integrated. Hero Designer file is attached. I still am in the dark ages of HD1; I assume HD2 can read it? Maybe once I get around to finding time for face-to-face gaming again I'll actually get the updated version (by which time HD 3 will assumably be out).

Guest WhammeWhamme Posted May 27, 2006 Report Share Posted May 27, 2006 Re: [Online Game]New 'Marvel: Next Generation' game I'm sorry but I can be kind of dense at times.. Invincible is the son of She Hulk and Juggernaut... and that first scene was just some super-powered boot-knockin... Right? Temper tantrum as a baby. I was, uh, tired when I wrote it and missed details that were in my head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haven Walkur Posted May 27, 2006 Report Share Posted May 27, 2006 Re: [Online Game]New 'Marvel: Next Generation' game radioKAOS salvages Haven Walkur's busted character concept. Excerpt from my PM to rK: ...I'm very impressed with your work. That hardly looks like just an "interesting exercise" -- that's a full-blown character write-up! I thought the VPP was particularly well constructed, very flexible with a bit of everything that might be useful. And the names of the powers! "Song of the Sightless", "Dance of Diminished Distances." My word! You took Dancer's "theme" and expanded on it brilliantly.... ...Thank-you for the write-up. You really pulled all the elements together, rK. I hated the idea of just abandoning an intriguing idea because I couldn't work out how to build it. Seeing Dancer up and running -- with an effective build -- makes me feel better. And you managed to keep so much of the original concept! That's what really amazes me, that you were able to work it all in within the framework of the Champions rules. AND you took the time to do it.... Alright, so radioKAOS is a god. Rep him frequently. I'm Haven Walkur and I approved this message Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But trying to create believable super villains who can stand up to any 7 of them could make a GM cry ~ Of course, he WILL make those villains!

Snake Gandhi Posted May 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2006 Re: [Online Game]New 'Marvel: Next Generation' game Okay, the Thunderbolts campaign has been created on the Hero central site. I'll study the submissions, and I'll post our team tomorrow night. Also, folks who aren't selected, if you'd like I can put you on the 'Reserve' list. It's a pretty common occurance for folk to drop out of online games for various reason, so there is always the possibility for spots to open up, and I'd ask folks on the 'Reserve' list first if they want any open spots.

Wow, no speedster? strange methinks... Actually I was thinking about putting together a speedster with a Magneto/Quicksilver legacy, but you know, I've spent enough time on Hero designer for a couple days at least then again....

Tim Posted May 28, 2006 Report Share Posted May 28, 2006 Re: [Online Game]New 'Marvel: Next Generation' game Marvel is not heavily populated by speedsters. Quicksilver, Jolt, ad Speedemon (?) (He is currently in Thunderbolts) are some of the very few. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan D. Hurricanes Posted May 28, 2006 Report Share Posted May 28, 2006 Re: [Online Game]New 'Marvel: Next Generation' game I reworked and revamped Stilt-Girl's character sheet (post #256). She's up to 575 points now, and has a load of skills. She was not allowed to pursue crimefighting until she turned 21, so she went to college and travelled the world, but her determination never swayed from her real goal.

Actually I was thinking about putting together a speedster with a Magneto/Quicksilver legacy, but you know, I've spent enough time on Hero designer for a couple days at least then again.... My latest idea (which actually got partially written up! ) was Hellbent, a Speed Demon legacy who grew up in Hell's Kitchen idolizing Daredevil. Alas, didn't have the time to finish him.

BunnySue Posted May 29, 2006 Report Share Posted May 29, 2006 Re: [Online Game]New 'Marvel: Next Generation' game She seems very dangerous! I have a question though... While it's obvious that she gained her physical skills from Daredevil, from whom did she inherit the incredible invulnerability. Was her mother a super-powered criminal? If so, why did Matt hook up with her? Typhoid Mary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldenAge Posted May 29, 2006 Report Share Posted May 29, 2006 Re: [Online Game]New 'Marvel: Next Generation' game Typhoid Mary Ahhhh... Unfortunately I stopped reading Daredevil many years ago (about the time he changed his uniform to that padded aberation). Were they an item in comics, or is that your invention?

teh bunneh Posted May 29, 2006 Report Share Posted May 29, 2006 Re: [Online Game]New 'Marvel: Next Generation' game Brother Snake, I know exactly how you feel. When I asked for new members of the Avengers Next team, I had a really tough choice. I don't envy you your decision. Bill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake Gandhi Posted May 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2006 Re: [Online Game]New 'Marvel: Next Generation' game Okay, this was a hard choice, even harder than the Avengers team. there where some great characters, but some very different ones. I found out that some would work great with certain characters, but really clash with others. It was a real balancing act to find a group that could concievably work together and still be fun to play with. This is what I finally settled on. Haven Walker Argent (mentalist) hooliganx Eva Von Doom (powered armor) Pendaran Invictus (martial brick) Log Stilt Girl (power armor) keyes_bill Batroc ze Fightaire (martial artist) DocSamson Crusher (brick) Squid Electron (energy projector) Enforcer84 Journeyman (brick) You have 3 elitist heirs of 2 world infamous villians and one laughing stock, one heir to a snobby ***** of a woman who was a vaunted villian before turning hero, and 3 kids of working class losers. I think the clash of world views will be interesting, as will the reasons for this crew to keep working together. Power-wise we have a nice mix. 2 power armors, but each very unique. We have 2 very different bricks, a true martial artist in Batroc and Invictus* is right in the middle of the Brick/Martial artist slider. And rounding it out we have a mentalist and an energy projector. The game is up on Hero Central, folks who made it, go ahead and apply your characters. Once everyone is on board we'll hash out things like how they got together, where their base is, et cetera. I apologize to the folks who didn't make it, and my offer of keeping your names for first crack at any openings still stands. * Pen, you said you prefered the first, less bricky version of Invictus, so thats who I went with.

radioKAOS Posted May 29, 2006 Report Share Posted May 29, 2006 Re: [Online Game]New 'Marvel: Next Generation' game Looks like a fun line-up! snobs vs losers, lol, nice! Oh no worries about apologies, the characters you picked certainly give a sense of what the style will be, and not all characters will fit in that style.

Haven Walkur Posted May 29, 2006 Report Share Posted May 29, 2006 Re: [Online Game]New 'Marvel: Next Generation' game Thanks for the update, Snake Gandhi. I look forward to gaming with you. Game question: In your game-universe, has Emma Frost turned hero? Argent's drive to make amends for the evil done by the White Queen makes a lot more sense if Emma is still "Psychic Aryan B*tch from Hell". So could we please stick with Emma as unredeemed villain? My, my, five of the eight of us in the Thunderbolts are women. I'm tempted to reverse Argent's gender just to even things out (and besides, gender-bending in a role-playing game can be a lot of fun). As I'm female in the "real world", my character default is female. I didn't even give any thought to Argent's gender...but maybe "female mentalist" is just a bit of a cliché? Maybe Argent is the White Queen's son, rather than her daughter. Thoughts, anybody? I really DON'T want to creep anybody out with this.
