Right there with ya. I loved the skill challenges, mostly because I hate grinding for most of our allotted gaming time.

Absolutely perfect!
Damn Bricken should've written the movie 'cause this is cracking me up. Hal IS an asshole in the movie! It's nice to be able to laugh at some of the worst moments and wasted attempts in this mess of a movie. Hal Jordan is my favorite GL, and they completely ruined him!

Things are going well. We are finding out more about Ragnarok and Nemesis. Each of us seem to have our own individually intriguing subplots, and together we are affecting things moreso on a global scale. I think you'll be happy to know that I've replaced Shift's antagonism toward Steel Centurion with The Martyr's. Let's just say Jamal has taken the Steel Centurion off his friend's list. Tomorrow will be interesting. I hope things work out for both of us, but I'm a little worried.

I don't know maybe if we throw in a little hot rod red...
No, I like it. I think Aaron should actually have random tools strapped to him...he could be the walking Mr. Fixit.

Oh by the way guys, the Arcane Switchboard ended up being more expensive so I reduced the amount of dice to 2hd. It cost 24 points total, so each of us should spend 4 points instead of 5.

« on: March 23, 2011, 10:45:49 AM »Out-of-character: I'm voting for "The Realists." It don't get more real than what went down in that damn particle collider. Failing that, "The Arcadians" or "The Achaeans," maybe.
As much as all our characters were affected by Shift's BADASS death, commemorating it with the name "New Ideal" might be a really bad idea. Consider the fact that the Ideal was wiped out by some kind of gigantic space explosion, whereas we were almost wiped out my a single crime family. I don't think we want to up-sell our abilities too much and have the government expect us to stop a meteor or something.
But that's just me! Here's what Norm would have to contribute to the name debate:
"..."
(sound of a beer can being opened)
"..."
(sigh)
I don't really care for "The Achaeans" because it really doesn't fit and seems too archaic for the average citizen to grasp. And "The Arcadians" seems too obvious and would eventually fit poorly with our group when we become a national or global band of heroes. The only reason why I suggested "The New Ideal" was because it was one of Zero-Shift's goals to establish a "New Ideal," and I thought it would be ironic and yet rewarding that his death accomplished this very act.
However, I do like "The Realists" because it fits fairly well with our characters' power sets and our actions thus far. We've been attempting to fill the hero gap left vacant since Ragnarok, and we are very much an amateur hodgepodge of, let's face it, wannabe heroes. It's luck that brought us together and kept the bulk of us alive as we were thrown into situations we really aren't prepared for. While Median still wants a normal life, he realizes how absurd it has become (which is what I love about him). The Martyr, on the other hand, thought it would be about helping the helpless; instead, he found the job far from easy. Friends have died, and many actions had far-reaching ramifications. Still we are doing the best and making the most of it by thwarting those who would take advantage of the power vacuum anyway we can. Our characters have come to realize that being a hero is not simply about stopping a bad guy. We have to make tough calls and form unlikely alliances in order to gain victory. Sometimes a situation isn't so morally clear, and we may have to blur those lines. Our decisions have made us "The Realists."

"So I think we should name the group The New Ideal in honor of its last survivor dying to save us. You will be missed, Shift. It was an honor calling you friend."

The angel is independent of my actions. He'll heal Raoul and hopefully have him in fighting order the following round. Wheaties will seek cover if possible once he takes down Aegis which should happen with multiple actions, spending willpower, and calling the shot on the head. I'm still stealthed with a 3 by 10, which should only be negated by a wider scrutiny check. I can attack Candide if that's our best course of action, but I still think it might prove more helpful to fool Candide in thinking that we've moved while he was temporarily incapacitated.

Unless Ross pulls some shenanigans or I roll poorly, Wheaties should take out Aegis in the next round. However, Wheaties may go down soon thereafter. Also, Baz is down one apendage and close to death. Not to mention Raoul is down.
On the positive side: Ross in his benevolence to the ignorant allowed me to reconfigure the angel at the cost of a willpower point. I'm going to be able to heal someone up a little next round, but there are several who need it. Who should be first? Wheaties, Baz, Raoul, or Zero-Shift?
I'm all for taking the initiative and putting on the hurt, but my character is not offensive. I know we need to target Candide and put him out permanently (stupid regen....argh). And Shift needs to embrace the dark side and do what needs to be done in the case of Veera. Squad Leader and Fantomech need to stay on Paragon and hold her off. Niko is worrisome...at least to me because he can capture the angel. I plan to run distraction or attack Candide until that motherfucker is out while the angel is healing everyone. Then there's Creeper, who we still haven't seen, and Pyro, but I'm hoping Median's bubble will keep them off us while we focus on the bigger threats. We can do this! No more talk of TPK! Big Damn Heroes!

He died during Ragnarok which we don't know anything about. I figure when I stat up my father I will do a back story for him as well. I was thinking about him getting his powers (super strength and coordination...maybe some invulnerability) from one of Dr. Pangloss's experiments, but I don't know if you would allow that.
