After a little more work fleshing out my plotline ideas, here are the basics: Scene 1: Loki escapes from the Battle of New York with the Space Stone. Scene 2: Loki tricks the Warriors Three and keeps the Reality Stone. Scene 3: Loki steals Power Stone from Nova Corps. Scene 4: Loki arrives on Earth, followed by GotG. Loki tricks them into fighting. Scene 5: Loki takes over Avengers HQ, Reality Stone transforming SHIELD to HYDRA. Scene 6: Avengers must stop HYDRA from returning with stolen Time Stone. Scene 7: Avengers move/protect Vision, but Reality Stone allows Loki to take Mind Stone. Scene 8: Avengers have to sneak into Avengers HQ to find/retrieve stones. Scene 9: Loki offers to leave if given the Soul Stone. Scene 0: Loki starts Ragnarok on Asgard.

It's not supposed to be a direct rehash of Infinty War/Endgame subbing Loki for Thanos. Getting the Soul Stone happened too much offscreen for the PCs to participate in; so I may devise another way to get it. In the unlikely event he managed to gather all six, he would use them to trigger his own version of Ragnarok. I'm looking for what kind of things Loki would do to trick the characters and/or entertain the players. Chris.

I'm planning to run a convention game in September, based on the opening left in Avengers: Endgame. Loki escapes with the Tesseract, learns about the Infinity Stones from Thanos and basically usurps his quest. The majority of the MCU movies can still follow a similar path, with Loki returning to avenge Frigga and escaping with the Aether in Thor: Dark World, and Bruce Banner's return mitigating the damage caused by Civil War. Thor: Ragnarock would not have happened, and the game would open with Loki returning to Earth after stealing the Power Stone from the Nova Corps, pursued by the Guardians of the Galaxy. This allows me maximum flexibility of PCs - everyone except Captain Marvel. One of Loki's bits will be creating images/dopplegangers of previous Avengers foes. What other ideas / suggestions would you like to see if you were playing? Chris.

I'll say it for all of us. Meee-YOW!! Chris.

Supherheroes pic threads are thataway...

Yeah, but he Shazam trailer that said it was "the greatest superhero movie since last month" made me laugh out loud. Chris.

A few years back I posted that DOJ had purchased WOTC... That would have been nice. Chris.

If something amazing happens in space, the appropriate reaction is "OM!" Because it's Zero G.

Which is why it took so long for them to get it together for the next movie...

Because they prefer fast food?

I really *really* like this idea, consider it stolen. Using 5E, the differences in stat costs might be an issue, but I can deal with that. The choice of stats, and DShomshak's comments dovetail nicely with the races' default bias. I had considered a racial package for each that modified some stats, this will make me take a second look at that. I received commentary from CaptPatriot or WyrmOuroboros elsewhere, can't remember which suggested giving Gestures to water mages, leaving air mages only the Incantations. Still thinking on that. The other styles of magic have limitations only they can use. Water should also, just most of the remaining ones should apply to all styles. Anyone have new limitations that might work? And why am I suddenly picturing Iron Man 2 here? Chris.

I'm developing a fantasy world created by four elemental gods. Each god has their own chosen race, and a distinct style of magic. All magic has Requires Skill Roll, and the distinction is enforced by -1/2 of limitations exclusive to each style. Players are also be free to apply generic limitations like Limited Casting(Charges) and Increased END Cost. Earth magic requires a different Reusable Foci for each spell. Air magic requires Incantations and/or Gestures. Fire magic requires Expendable Components. Water magic is where my problem lies. Concentration and Extra time seem thematically (calm) appropriate limitations, but also seem like they should be applicable to all magics. Any thoughts or suggestions from Hero at large? Chris.

My 8 year old is obsessed with PvZ, to the point of making up his own plants and zombies. I was..AM going to point him to this, a way of making it his own game.

Color me interested... But half hour each way is a killer.

In a ruling similar to the above, one character successfully made three (possibly five) 8 or less rolls on Combat Driving. He was awarded the full skill for free.
