Re: [Online Game]New 'Marvel: Next Generation' game Dancer's 'Alter Ego' Mayhem, the Lady of Chaos... with a little help from photoshop of course.

Re: [Online Game]New 'Marvel: Next Generation' game Not quite done, but a preliminary view, I found it to be an interesting exercise... Nearly everything in the VPP was just maximized to show possibilities, most likely would not be used at those levels in game - would want to keep some points in the FF for example... Kudos to Haven Walkur for the concept... Also, I have not made Mayhem yet... Dancer could use some more STUN perhaps, got 9pts to play with at the moment still...

Mojo had Cyclops captured and brought to the Mojoverse, where Mojo compelled him to mate with Spiral, in an episode of Mojovision that sent the ratings through the roof -- even though the episode could only be shown after nine in the evening. Even while Cyclops and Spiral were together, Mojo was already looking up at his screens. Suddenly he crowed to the cameras, "Congratulations, ladies and germs, it's a grrrrl!". Cyclops was then stripped of his memories of the incident and returned to Earth, leaving a fiercely resentful Spiral carrying his daughter. The child was born four-armed, quick-witted and unruly -- and the Mojoverse viewers loved her! Mojo was delighted with the odd-looking child and named her "Mayhem." Spiral, however, detested the child she'd been forced to bear and was jealous of her, so she arranged to "misplace" her. Banished to Earth, Mayhem was found by Dr. Strange, who took her in as his ward and named her "Harmony." Harmony's mother had originally been a human woman, transformed by Mojo's chaos magic. Harmony herself had been conceived and born in the heart of the Mojoverse. Not surprisingly, Harmony's body and soul were saturated with both chaos and magic, as Dr. Strange quickly learned. He resolved to educate the girl about magic, the better to protect her and those around her, and he and Clea devoted particular attention to teaching Harmony control of the chaos energies inside her. Harmony proved to be a gifted student in all things magical. However, she was a lively, distractable girl, strong-willed, strong-minded and always thinking about a hundred things at once, and studying anything other than magic quickly bored her. Harmony Summers eventually became an enchantress in her own right. Calling herself "Dancer", she uses her powerful magic to fight the mundane evils of the big American cities. Unfortunately Mojo is still interested in her -- or at least the ratings she represents -- and continues to meddle with her life. The last time, he unleashed the chaos magic within Harmony and transformed her into Mayhem, the Lady of Chaos.

Re: I need a function! The Rolling Stones Sometimes referred to as a 'band of rocks' - the course of these 'stones which roll,' has been plotted across most of the Earth. Originally six in number, so the historians say, there are only four left. Their 'tour' started in what is now know as Britain, though they have travelled worldwide. It seems that most people have seen these stones, though no one can be sure exactly how old they are, nor how long they have been traversing the globe. They are nearly six foot in height, though thin, and seem to be cracking in various places. Small pieces of the stones have broken off over the years, becomming collector's items and spawning the phrase "my papa was a rolling stone." Next: The Crystal Bands of Opus Prime

Re: skills question per 5ER p47 Untrained Skills: A character's roll with an untrained skill is a flat 6-, and he cannot apply any type of skill levels to improve this roll. The GM may choose to allow Skill Modifiers [both positive and negative] or Complimentary Characteristic Rolls to apply [but if so, he may wish to cap untrained skill rolls at 8-, regardless of bonuses, so that characters have a reason to buy familiarities]. The GM may rule that characters cannot use some skills, such as obscure KSs, untrained.

Re: What I learn playing a GM. If you read further into my post, you'll see a third option; I stated that I would give out an extra pip to that person, meaning above and beyond the vote. I would do that after the vote due to the fact that that player may get the vote anyhow; but even if that player does, I make sure to point out the moment that I thought was the best. It may not be perfect, but it gets the job done of rewarding great roleplaying and allows the player to reveal bits of the character's backstory when they see fit. Of course, as a good GM it's in your job description to have senarios that highlight the character's backstories as well. I have never once asked for a full disclosure requirement, nor would I. Some of the best roleplaying is in the discovery of other character's backstories, and the revealing of your own.

Re: [Online Game]New 'Marvel: Next Generation' game City of Heroes version of The Nightstalker.. first draft.

Re: What I learn playing a GM. Well I have to say it has always worked for me and my games. Some points: If Captian LovestheCops isn't playing along with them because his DNPC brother is a Viper agent, then we should see that struggle in his character. I don't need to know his entire backstory to understand that there's a struggle there and award him for portraying it in a manner that is believable and enjoyable. It's not about any other players knowing how the character should be played, it's seeing the player roleplay the character to the best of his/her ability. Yes there have been cases where the players didn't see a fantastic bit of acting that I as the GM did catch, mostly due to my knowledge of the character's backstory. In cases such as that, I have sometimes awarded an extra pip to that character, citing it in front of the group. This brings attention to that character and gets the other players watching for that bit, and what it means. Again a common misuse and misconception of this topic is the 'popularity contest' or 'assertive player' contest. Get it out of your head right now that that is what this is all about. It is partially your responsibility as GM to promote better roleplaying in all players. This means casting your vote for the person you thought played his character the best - you, as GM have a vote [sometimes I would even give my vote more weight depending on the number of players involved] - and you DO know the character's backstories. As for the 'assertive guy playing the Pre 8 Rogue' story- I would be stopping that during the game. If he's not playing in character then he's definately not doing his job, and that should be stopped as it's happening. Failure to do so shows irresponsibility on the part of the GM. Eventually your players will be able to see it with a critical eye as well, and call themselves on it. So of course, if it doesn't work for you, don't use it. But don't get stuck not using it just because you are biased against it. A view, no matter how correct, unless challenged, will become prejudice. - John Stewart Mill I believe...

Re: What I learn playing a GM. Have 'regular check ins' with the player about their character - just to make sure everyone is on the same page about it.
