So how do you want to work in the new guys?

Should be interesting to see how Volo and Highlander make it into the sene.

Alan posited a quick solution being to run into another recovery team bringing the new people in. The problem with that is that the new people will be powerless.

The other is you guys do the white room wake up and escape and run into the other group. You would get your powers then.

I think encountering our group (Volo and Highlander) coming out of another recovery room is fine. Possibly triggering another warning before.

Let me know how you plan to introduce us. I assume another room or perhaps being brought in on our own?

I think I will have you in the White Room. That way you will have your powers starting to return. I'll write up a post. You'll be able to hear the fighting, most likely.

Looking to add the following power to Rob.

Basically he is becoming scared of the idea of the mind controlling machines and will be wishing to be untraceable.


4 (8) Arcane Void - Invisibility (2); Permanent -2, Limitation Only vs Records -2
Concerned with being tracked and captured again Volo wished repeatedly for all the records of him to go away. The resulting effect was records, recordings, images, and more of him self erase within moments of being recorded.


Does this work for you @KahlessNestor?


Is there a better way to build this, are you okay with it as a concept?

That looks fine to me. Going to make getting him into school a chore LOL Also medical records. Getting into college. Keeping track of his grades at the Academy... LOL

Cool, this leaves him with 6 unspent points for when I get my advance and take Best There Is.

As a reminder, part of this game is that I want players to have a lot of freedom. If you have a plot or interaction you want to run apart from the main thread, feel free to start a thread. This allows for all the teenage drama of a young supers game. Want a relationship? Want a good scene with another player dealing with XYZ? Start a thread. Mostly these shouldn't require die rolls, just RP. But if you want to get into a dustup with some low lifes outside the 7/11 when you're getting a slushy, you can do that, too (with or without dice. I mean, they are just lowlifes). But if you want to run a "solo limited series" with your character, and have an idea, I can work with that, too. There will be plenty of time built into the game to do things like that.

So scratch off your RP and start your own threads, if you want.

That is cool, I need to think of ways to take advantage of that.

It's my attempt to combine the free form cooperative writing simms I started out in with the more structured TTRPG/PbP.

the intent here is unclear.

From your wording it sounds like we can train in each of the skills in our montage? But I think you would want us to train in only 1?

It is one, many or all?

Sorry. You get 3 skills. They should reflect the training you have received during these weeks.

Is 'pom-poms' supposed to be Constance?

Yup. You did say she's a cheerleader, right? If not, I'll have to go back and adjust.

Okay, so I have an idea to give Kat a little actual offensive power, that fits her overall power-set. This would be a new 'Switchable' Option for her Hex Bolts (bought with the Power Points Edge she's taking for her first advance):

Attack, Ranged
Modifiers:
Limitation -2: Damage takes one round to occur (essentially, this is a bit like Requires Activation/Slow to Activate, but with a different feel, so it has about the same value as those--basically, she rolls to hit one round, and then rolls damage the next round, on her action. This means that during the delay, if she gets knocked to Incapacitated, the damage doesn't happen.)
Limitation -X: Wild shots (I'd need a ruling on this one): Because the attack manifests as a random stroke of bad luck, sometimes people other than the target are affected, instead. Essentially, ANY time she uses the Power, if the attack misses and the Skill die was a "1", the Innocent Bystander Rule is in effect, even if there's no one standing near the original target. Roll a d4: 1 = Random Enemy (but not original target); 2 = Random Ally (including Kat); 3 = Random Civilian; 4 = Random Property Damage. If a particular category doesn't have any valid targets (no civilians, or they're only fighting one opponent), then the attack hits Kat herself.
Level III (3 damage dice, uses Throwing)
Enhanced Damage (uses d10s for damage)

Also note: Since this is Switchable, if she hits someone with the Bolt, she has to wait for the damage to strike before switching to Negation or Malfunction.

Approved.

Have we gotten any advances in this game yet?

I feel like I remember us getting one, but I can't find where that would have happened. Since they don't happen per quarter, I am kind of lost.

I believe you have gotten 1 so far, when you got your extra skill points. You will basically get one every adventure, roughly, as we do the "school years".

Hey, guys.

After some consideration, I think I am going to end this game. It will be hard to run with just three characters, and there just doesn't seem to be a general drive for supers (not just here, but other boards, as well). I think if/when PEG decides to reinvent the supers rules for SWADE we could try again, as it would bring in some more natural interest.
