Marvel Galaxies

[Egyptoid]

Marvel setting, the universe approx. 5O years after

the events in Annihilation and Conquest.

 

In the bizarre tradition I seem to have for Marvel

(Remember Love Children otMU)?

here's another one coming at ya!

 

The players will be cosmic level,

with elements of Galactic Champions and Star Hero

mixed in.

 

here's my backfill ( oops, backstory) and guidelines so far.

 

Marvel Galaxies takes place 75 years after the events in Annihilation, Conquest, etc. There has been severe trouble on Earth, and several heroes from outside the Solar System have banded together, to return to Sol System, and find out what can be done to repair the homeworld of man.

War is brewing. The Major Empires have been colonizing in the Galactic neighborhood. Regular infringements have made all the great empires uneasy and tense. The last 50 years of peace since the disposal of Phalanx have made many forget the old days of raiding and sabotage and diplomatic wrangling.

 

Imperial Level movers and shakers Include

The Badoon, reptilian overlords from the Milky Way Galaxy.

The Alpha Centaurians, ancestors of Yondu, that have a sizable hold in M W G

 

The Skrulls, shapeshifting humanoids that strike from Andromeda Galaxy

 

Men of Sol 3, the Terrans, now scattered in small colonies and refuge planets.

 

The Kree, cosmopolitan space men from the Magellanic Clouds

 

Xandar, the human-like race from Andromeda Galaxy, home of the Nova Corps

 

The Brood, insectoid raiders stealing out from their own nearby Galaxy

 

Shiar, hailing from their own galaxy, the proud overlords of 5OOO worlds

 

Baluurian Remnant, soldiers from the Negative Zone living in the Milky Way

Arthrosian Stragglers, Negative Zone warriors staking claim in the Milky Way

 

Character are built on 450 base points, plus up to 200 points of disadvantages. Characters will be either space-based Marvels,

Or original ideas of legacies based on OHhotMU.

 

(FYI this is a table-top game played in Hampton Roads)

Silver Surfer (Galaxy Style)

 

no arguments, there's a lot of hand-waving at this level

Background/History

 

Real Name: Norrin Radd^^

Aliases: Sentinel or Sky-Rider of the Spaceways, Silverado^^

Identity: True identity unknown to most of Earth^^

Part of an extremely long-lived and technologically advanced humanoid race which had created a worldwide utopia devoid of crime, disease, hunger, poverty, and want of any kind. Urged on by his atypically ambitious father Jartran, Norrin was raised as a grimly intellectual youth, encouraged to seek knowledge, advancement, and achievement rather than the aimless hedonism which had come to dominate Zenn-Lavian society. Despite his lifelong love, Shalla-Bal,, immersing himself in histories of Zenn-La's adventurous ancient past.^^^^

Norrin's life changed forever when a menacing alien spacecraft pierced Zenn-La's long-neglected defense systems. Convincing a Council of Scientists member to provide him with a spaceship, Radd soon confronted the invader, Galactus, who intended to consume Zenn-La.^^

Education: Tutored in science by Jartran Radd and in the nature of the universe by Galactus; self-taught in various areas, especially history, and absorbed much Zenn-Lavian knowledge from "hypno-powered study cubes"

 

Personality/Motivation

 

Radd offered to become his herald and seek out new worlds for him in exchange for Galactus sparing Zenn-La .___ Galactus agreed, transforming Radd into a silver-skinned, cosmic-powered super-being patterned after an adolescent fantasy plucked from Norrin's memories. Known thereafter as the Silver Surfer because of the silvery flying board he rode, Radd departed Zenn-La with Galactus. ___ The Surfer served Galactus well for many years, enjoying exploring the wonders of the universe; however, it became increasingly difficult for Radd to find energy-rich worlds devoid of sentient life.^^

===========^^ Norrin grew into a restless soul who longed for challenge and struggle

 

Quote

 

One of the noblest and most tormented cosmic entities in the universe, the Silver Surfer treasures freedom above all else, but has often sacrificed his liberty for the greater good.

 

Powers/Tactics

 

SS wields "power cosmic", absorbing and manipulating the universe's ambient energies. ^^He can augment his strength to incalculable levels, and is almost totally indestructible. ^^He can navigate space, hyperspace and dimensional barriers^^flies at near-limitless speeds on his board, entering hyperspace when he exceeds light speed. ^^He has even proven capable of time travel on occasion. Immune to temperature extremes^^Does not require food, drink, air or sleep, sustained entirely by converting matter into energy. ^^ Immune to most radiation, can survive in vacuum environments such as space & hyperspace. ^^Analyze & manipulate matter and energy, & restructure or animate matter at will, even transmuting elements. ^^Can heal the living (cannot raise dead), & capable of revitalizing or evolving organic life on a planet wide scale. ^^He can alter the size of himself or of other matter, cast illusions, fire energy blasts, ^^form and manipulate energy constructs, manipulate gravity, absorb and discharge most forms of energy, ^^and phase through solid matter. His senses enable him to detect objects and energies light years away, ^^and to perceive matter and energy in subatomic detail; ^^he can even see through time, and with concentration can achieve limited perception of past and future ^^events in his general vicinity. , has demonstrated limited telepathic ability on occasion, ^^and has proven able to influence human emotion and sensation.

[Egyptoid]

there's the first four characters, pretty gross I know.

there's a legacy character on her way....

 

So the Team's Roles are loosely

STARFOX - chief negotiator

SURFER - errand boy and forward sensor array

CATGIRL - misc. odd powers, advanced set dressing

EVOLUTIONARY - gadgets, tech, and science dept. chair

HERCULES - heavy lifting

 

 

the main plot elements are

 

new war brewing ?

 

what is Galactus's major problem ?

 

why is the Earth devastated so horribly?

(no PCs were on earth when it went south)

plus I'm trying a new concept here:

the players will help rebuild the Earth.

Is the Catgirl mentioned in the lineup a descendant of Tigra?

[Egyptoid]

Re: Marvel Galaxies

 

Catgirl (a working title, hopefully not the characters hero-name)

will no doubt be a legacy of Tigra, possible Hellcat or Feral.

 

the deal is, there's a new woman in our gaming group,

and her styles are not our styles, but I am a merciful

GM, and I'm trying to fit her concept into this huge universe.

 

just look at the Team. aye yi Yi.

cue the Mr. Rogers music: one of these things is not like the other . . .one of these things is not the same...

 

not that there's anything wrong with that...

[Mister Khan]

Re: Marvel Galaxies

 

She could play Hepzibah of the Star Jammers (or a descendant)

[Egyptoid]

Re: Marvel Galaxies

 

thanks guys for the suggestions, but the new players seems to be immune to the power of suggestion...

 

anyways here's ye campaign map

Marvel Galaxies Team

[Egyptoid]

Pre-Game Show

 

Marvel Galaxies takes place 75 years after the events in Annihilation, Conquest, etc. There has been severe trouble on Earth, and several heroes from outside the Solar System have banded together, to return to Sol System, and find out what can be done to repair the homeworld of man.

Boston, Mass.

War is brewing. The Major Empires have been colonizing in the Galactic neighborhood. Regular infringements have made all the great empires uneasy and tense. The last 50 years of peace since the disposal of Phalanx have made many forget the old days of raiding and sabotage and diplomatic wrangling.

Knoxville, Tenn

Hails to Earth are not answered, but it still shows up on sensor scans.

Recent Trading reports are unavailable. Seems none of the usual smugglers

have swung by there in 2-3 months. The brave have gathered at Starbucks,

to venture to Earth. There's safety in numbers, you know.

Plus if Earth be silent,and all its great supergroups can not be contacted....

Defenders, Avengers, X-Men, Shield, Alpha-Flight, Fantastic Four, Thunderbolts,

and other legacy groups. Heck even Hydra would return your phone calls,

even if all they did was fuss at you.

[Egyptoid]

Re: Marvel Galaxies

 

Campaign Log, Week One:

 

the big day finally arrived. Kisa, Herc, Starfox and Evo showed up.

they met at Starbucks, and a brawl did not break out.

 

they met up with Rocket Raccoon, and got some dirt (info),

and they decided to stock up ion supplies, get a cloaking device,

and go to to Earth.

 

but they were spied upon by a Chaos Sprite (or sprites) as they left.

 

They hatched a plan to use Larry Niven-style astronomy detective work

to observe what happened to earth. (fly out a light year away, use

a computerized telescope to observe what happened a year ago)

 

they flew to Alpha Centauri, thinking that as nearby neighbor, they may have

observed what had gone on earth, but the ties arent that strong, and all they

had seen was some refugees, which gathered at a colony on Tau Ceti.

 

On A.Cent they met Mantis. she was expecting Silver Surfer, and was quite

non-plussed to find Starfox and Hercules instead. Her pre-cog is rarely wrong.

 

on the way, they brainstormed, and dubbed their group SEEKERS of EARTH.

 

So reluctantly the heroes flew to Earth, sneaking in a light year away,

and they set up their equipment to get the pix, listen to old radio traffic.

What they saw and heard was horrible: nuclear war, constant fighting for

about six months, then a gradual deadening and darkening of civilization as

they knew it. Earth is a post-cataclysmic wasteland, with precious few

pockets of humanity left. But the radio traffic told the true horror, relating

how each city succumbed to a vicious horde of mutants and machines,

led by a horrid warlord. but as devastating as the Apoc.War had been, what they could

not understand was now it was over. If Apoc. had won, then why wasnt he

ruling the planet now ? where were the cities full of his statues and slaves?

 

Of course the heroes would have to get boots on the ground to investigate.

 

their sensors identified ten hot spots to investigate, and they went to Egypt

first. here they found Kang looting ancient tombs, and they trounced him,

and rescued his mind controlled agents (actually terran colonial marines)

 

so what the players have to do is buy contacts and means to protect and

restore the earth, and remake the planet into something beautiful and livable.

Captains Log, Week 2

 

The team (Hi Evo, Kisa AQM, Herc, and Starfox) scouted around Egypt

to see if Kang had anything else going on. He didnt, so they flitted up

to Aswan Dam (ruins) and rebuilt it, built a water purification plant,

and started building their base.

 

Raccoon showed up with some supplies, but they had a Shiar homing beacon on them, and some Shiar Scouts beamed in and a fight started. Both Raccoon and Shiar brought news of the brewing war. Kisa felt honor bound to grind the birdpeople into dust, but was talked out of it.

 

Hi Evo found that earth's entire ecology was rampant with Nanites and Enzymes left over from the Apoc.War.

Nitro-Chromyl Gamma Reductase

- - Mutation Reducer

Machinoscopes

 

The nanites reduce or reprogram all machines for Apocs. purposes,

and the enzyme reduces mutations. this either depowers or kills mutants.

but 10 points of Life Support keeps them at bay.

 

Starfox set up Radio Free Egypt, and has a john-tesh style morning show that tries to give news and hope to the common people, who love the base hospital.

 

News reports led the team (after a week) to Tau Ceti, to see what was happening at the nearest terran refugee planet. In orbit they met an ACent battle-cruiser, with whom they talked current events and war, and oaths and traeties. but on TC it was chaos, as various meta-humans fought each other for control over the thralls living there. They heard Wonder Man and Shatter-star were alive and attempted to contact them. When they dropped out of cloaak to do so, an attack immediately started up towards them.

Marvel Galaxies; Week 3

 

Seekers Team Members Present

STARFOX, HERCULES, KISA ARIAH, and HIGH EVOLUTIONARY

The group had jetted off to Tau Ceti, after hearing rumors

of the human refugee camps there. Sensors picked up 4

main settlements, ranging from size of village, camp, outpost.

 

11 figures rocketed up from the largest village.

Ten were copies of old iron man armor, and the eleventh

was a female version resembling the Iron Widow.

 

they attacked the Seekers , but they couldnt handled Kisa's constructs,

and the leader girl couldnt handle Starfox's mentalism

 

So finally Hercules goes back to his original plan.

He jumps out the airlock and falls on Wonderman from orbit

as his way of saying Hello Well that might have been funny

except Wonderman was in the local farmers market at the time,

and the impact and the following mega-fight (friendly rivalry)

totally ruined the burgeoning economy of the colonial village.

(High Evo rebuilt all that was destroyed)

 

Anyways, the four villages were full of refugees, of various flavors.

North Alpha

was run by ex-pat russians, was the old first colony,and had the best equipment. Their Leaders wore copies of Crimson Dynamo armor, and the "Iron Widow" was a descendant of N.Romanov who had guessed her great-grand-aunt's password

(daredevil)

 

Western Branch

is run by Wonderman, and has people from all

walks of life, from America mostly.

 

Eastern Calgary

is protected by Aurora, and is full of ex-pat Canucks.

 

Southern Delaware

became the haven for the mutants, and resembles a gamma world village. the Protector here is Shatterstar.

Plus there's something on the planet that eats people. and no-ones been able to corner it and kill it yet. Alpha Centauri had been keeping a ship in orbit to help out, but they left. Part of the Brewing War had the Skrulls declare open war on the A-Cent, and the Skrulls offered a gold bounty for any human heads or slaves.

 

So Wonder-Man, Hercules, Shatter-Star, are all standing around swapping war-stories. High Evo genetically engineers a local rabbit into an incredibly useful food animal, and reworks some local herbs into a multi-use food crop. Kisa sneaks off and finds some freidnship in the mutant burg. Star-Fox and the Katan Girls set up a tent and have a pai gow tournament, and roulette, and Star-Fox is distributing literature about how wonderful the rebuilt Earth is gonna be.

 

High Evo also built Wonder-Man a def-con satellite, to give help and warning when aliens invade Tau Ceti. Also he built the villages "Cell Towers" that actually cause jamming on the Iron Men circuits, so that the nasty russkies can't lord it over the other villages as much.

 

Everyone asks about the Silver Surfer, and Doc Strange, why arent they helping out lately? Its very sorry, but Tau Ceti has little to offer the Team, and needs much help itself. and the Team feels they have to high-tail it back to earth to continue the rescuing and rebuilding. The team is headed back to Egypt,than on to Alkali Lake in Canada.

Re: Marvel Galaxies

 

I've started playing in a couple of 600-650pt games and I've noticed a trend. This is the 4th game (5th character) at this level where I'm able to say this: I can effectively neutralize one of your 600pt characters with a 45 Active Point power: Entangle 3d6, 6 DEF. Make it a 60 Active points (4d6, 8 DEF) and the only way your 600pt character gets out is if someone lets them out.

 

I'm of course talking about the High Evolutionary who has taken Gestures on all his powers. I'm not trying to pick on anyone I just find it curious that the more points given, the more players try to squeak in as much as possible.

Re: Marvel Galaxies; Week 3

 

Kisa does not "sneak" - she wanders off looking for something more interesting/exciting than watching the guys rebuild and swapping tales of old battles. ;-)

High evolutionaries log book

 

GAME WEEK 4: Star Fox, High Evo, Kisa AQM, and Hercules participating

 

the Team goes to W. Canada, to investigate the strange energy at Alkali Lake.

 

they find the dam has been rebuilt, and there's security pylons

on the perimeter. an intercom on a pylon tells them to halt.

they are rebuffed from entering the base,

and told to wait on the Boss, whoever that is.

meanwhile back at the parked shuttle,

attempts are made to hack and enter....

 

Starfox tries to do all the talking to the intercom,

but that turns the guards off, who

have been instructed to ignore Starfox, and Hercules (due to rep)

 

agents sneak out of the base and surround the team

at a distance. while the talk goes on.

Kisa's owl power detects the trap before it is sprung.

 

finally the boss comes to the radio,

and he seems familiar. Its Martin Bochs,

the grandson of Roger Bochs, the Canadian

superhero BOX, with metal and electronic powers.

 

he's taken over Alkali Lake and restarted the turbines,

fixed the dam, purified the water, set up a perimeter,

and housed about 750 canadian citiziens as refugees

in an underground complex.

 

what Box didnt know was that about 80 Skrulls had infiltrated

the base over time, and were masquerading as the citizens.

and they had figured out how to manipulate the adamantium forge

 

"The old part of the Lab, no-one goes there anymore." (old Dexter quote)

 

and the Skrulls had made a Wolverine clone called Weapon Zeta.

Box thought he had a couple of Skrulls loose in the kitchen

he had no idea he'd been pwned.

 

But outside Box and Hi Evo negotiate, and Hi Evo is giving Box his tech,

tells him that Aurora the Canadian survives on Tau Ceti,

Box sends out a guard with a laptop to receive Hi Evo's data,

and oddly the guard was an expert thief, and when he made the

transfer attempted to pick Hi Evo's pocket.

 

Theif-guard made the Sleight of Hand roll, but Hi Evo also made his PERC roll,

and he comments on this petty larceny, is the item stolen was just a minor atomic

screwdriver for power armor. Box at the mic is flabber gasted by what

he hears, asks for clarification, and instructs the team to SHOOT THE GUARD DOWN

 

so big fight: featuring hot hot DM dice; several critical hits and big fumbles,

awesome skill roll, and over ten 8 or less rolls made in one session !

 

some highlights:

HERC, tunnel escape from the rock to mud entangle,

track down and kill all escapees,

Greco-Roman maneuvers to outfox Weapon Zeta

 

KISA AQM, used up all combat charges of her anima powers,

and many were quite creative usages !

 

StFOX, mind controls a skrull agent to kill friends,

heals self repeatedly after crit to face.

 

HiEVO, slimed skrulls, acid WZ

had to use team tactics with Box to defeat Weapon Zeta.

 

npc BOX: electrocutions, entangles, metal suppress.

his citizens agents. seal off battle area

 

 

Weapon Zeta: berzerk, mental def, claws are HKA 3d6 PenX2, APx2

 

Roaches: sneaky, assassin bugs, they used poison vs Herc.

 

Skrulls: snipers! called shots to face, mind control betrayal easy

(when mind controlled, the Skrull begs to please have his betrayals

to be gloriously recorded posthumously for posterity )

 

Winter Wolf: fights own master due to Starfox's meddling.

Ghetto-Ranger: fights own wolf, not pretty.

 

Territorial Troops: much shooting with their flash-bangs, force wall, steam fumble.

 

Frosquatch: shoots Herc, but has Men.Def, and gets strato-punched by Herc.

 

Sorceroid. drops Herc into rock-o-mud pit, but gets swallowed up by Tunneling,

and one punched by Herc.

Fallout:

they help Box find and kill all the Skrulls hiding in the city,

they help Box clean up the damage, and upgrade his protection scheme,

they help the berserk Wolverine clone calm down, and

Starfox and Hi Evo soothe his mind so he can live a normal life.

they think they can settle him so he likes living in AL, and wants to be a defender of it.

 

they persuade Box to buy in n their plan for cleaning and defending Earth

=====

Lest any of you complain abut all the killing, the players are all for 4-color,

but I as the GM have tossed them into a world of shizzle.

 

Well maybe one player is bloodthirsty, but the majority is my fault.

The Skrull Empire has declared all-out war on Humanity.
