When he could have invisibly tagged along and been there to save everyone. I also couldn't believe "The Elite" didn't try use the self destructible "Hulk buster" against the military. Ross gave them an explosive mech-suit... that is adventurer candy. It was so frustrating to listen to the Silver Shadow try to save the Remnant.

Eh, the entire purpose of the rules is to have fun -- it's even in the book as such -- so it's all cool. It is fun to listen to the different personalities at work here. ^_^ I was going to comment on the somewhat iffy use of rules, but it looks like you beat me to it.

I have no idea what I'm doing in M&M and I think rolling for defense isn't how it works. I think Green Ronin is going to send some goons to break my legs after they hear this for how I butchered the rules of M&M. Oh god please dont say that.

It has taken until today for me to know that the reason my group doesn't like MnM is because we've be doing it WRONG the whole time. Eye opening AP guys. Gosh darnit!

Excellently role-played. It took me awhile to get through this LP, but it was well worth it. I'm finding myself admiring Aaron for sticking to his character's non-lethal (and towards the end, less than lethal, although severing a black-op agent's hand might be considered a letal blow) slant... I also appreciate Ross's GM style vis-a-vis creating situations where his characters have to think their way out of situations, rather than shoot their way out. Tom's character spent a full quarter of this session unable to employ the lethal methods that his character is known and feared for. The subtle tension that these plot twists add create a very nuanced flavor to the game. The other thing that I really appreciate during these LPs is the different humor that the different players bring to the game itself. Part of the fun of these live plays is listening to the "cast" banter. I can really identify with the humor (the numerous "Jjjoin Uuuusssss" Evil Dead II references) and I find myself laughing while I'm listening. Needless to say, each podcast brings a hearty chuckle... Keep up the great work guys and thanks for another great podcast Another great session guys. Excellently role-played. It took me awhile to get through this LP, but it was well worth it.

Perhaps the Blue Scarab could star in one of your mini movies!
