Re: [interest in an online game?] Avengers: Generation 3 Can you either post a list of what you have (concept wise) or what you need (speedster, brick, detective, etc) I'd rather start from a concept and work back to the Avenger's legacy to descend it from. apologies if I get your concept wrong: I see Hornet (Shrinker) and Arachne (Utility) and Dynasty the Energy Projector and Iron Girl the Armored Wonder and Kolbrandr the Brick and Light Show also Energy Projector Who did I miss? Banner the Patriot and so I don't see a Detective Type a Mystic a Space Based Hero, a Mentallist, or a Speedster what's GM KB want to see or not see ?

The Shebanigan THE SHEBANIGAN It appears as a normal katana in a decorated scabbard. When the Shebanigan is drawn from it's scabbard, it twists into whatever form it chooses. Roll a D30 on the charts below to determine exactly what comes out. not all forms have powers, and some are not beneficial. D30 [b] SHEBANIGAN ! [/b] 1-2 Asian Weapons 3-4 Exotic Weapons 5-6 High-End Puppets 7-13 High-End Tools 14-20 High-End Weapons 21-22 Musical Instruments 23-24 Regular Puppets 25-26 Regular Tools 27-28 Scottish Weapons 29-30 Traditional Weapons Somehow the Shebanigan functions as a small pocket purgatory, and certain strange souls are kept captive in it, and their souls manifest as small people on the handle, much like a puppet. They speak, are usually intelligent, and cannot be put back into the scabbard without a payment. They have skills which may be useful to the wielder, but not always....

Re: Which published characters do you use? ZERO. now of course if someone resembles a Marvel Universe denizen, I'll file off the serial numbers and slip them in the side door. Mechanon reminds me of Ultron strongly. As long as DOJ makes original characters with fresh ideas, they are immune to this treatment.

Re: Love Child of the Marvel Universe March 13th, 2006, Adventure number XxX. As our Heroes dine in a local Yorktown eatery, screeching tires and cries for help waft down to their danger sensing ears. High atop the coleman bridge there's a traffic jam. Heroes leap and fly to investigate. There's a bus jammed sideways across 3 lanes of traffic, and a goon in armor is holding hostages. A closer look reveals that each hostage is wearing a Trek uniform. (bad jokes all around re: hostages not worth the effort) Something about the armor is familiar but no one figures that out until the dust settles. One goon is quickly sorted out, and hostages are being driven down off the bridge. Easy mission, until BIG BLACK LIMO drives up, and one big nasty Chinese MF wearing 10 rings, one on each finger , steps out and stares down the heroes. Quickly, he binds Trapdoor in a force-hex, Ego-Blasts PJ speedster, and shrugs off the energy bolts of OHM. And oddly enough he demands to know where is the "spell-caster" (he's down on shore paying the tab at the restaurant) Epic battle on the bridge: Mandarin summons minions out of flat-space, and also brings in Taako-Man, an asian brick with aquatic powers. A few miscalculations on the GMs part allow the heroes to win the battle. A few fun notes: Arbiter's Entangle has Variable SFX. when he targets Mandarin (old Iron Man foe) the bindings came out of thin air resemble gold and red metallic tubing, as if built by Stark Industries! Nice touch by the player, showng off his AK:Marvel Universe. Finally Block-House gets Mandarin in the classic brick squeeze, and the other heroes take turns battering on him while held. a True Team effort (well if you back them into a hairy enough corner they will work as a team, but it seems not until then) So they phone the Avengers "Hey does anyone want Mandarin to lock up or whatever?" who should answer the phone but Meteorite! the woman they were looking for 2-3 weeks ago in relation to Hurricane Tana's disappearance.
