The Heroes of New Arcadia - RPPR Superheroes campaign - Wild Talents

That was a hell of a thing. I wouldn't have run a Wild Talents fight that big without a big white board to put each declared action onto.

I did write down actions and dice rolls on scratch paper.

[Tadanori Oyama]

I heard you doing so and I commend you on your bravery sir. The reason I would use a white board is to make it visible to the entire table at one time. It would help me shut the players up because they could clearly see the declared actions and respond accordingly, and be unable to argue against the record with any sort of base for claim.

Apparently I distrust my players much more than you do yours.

more like idgaf

last night I ran the Heroes of New Arcadia with Dread instead of WT AND NOT A FUCK WAS GIVEN THAT NIGHT

Isn't Jason like Jenga Jesus or something? Did the Martyr take dominion of the Earth and cast all lesser being into perdition?

even better - he played asshole Jenga - made all of his pulls from the bottom to make it harder for the other players to make their pulls.

I look forward to hearing the episode is 2027, when I will download the podcast for a public jack-terminal using my hardwired, gun-metaled cyberware.

Having played Dread myself, I am super excited for that episode now.

I'm dying to hear what everyone thinks of Wayfarer, the teleporting thief with a complicated background.

[Tadanori Oyama]

Just got to that part of the game. He's... interesting. Need to listen to more.

He has a virtual Alt reality inside his head? I don't understand how his power works?

Augmented Reality interface - basically it's the same thing Eclipse Phase characters have.

so you have a MUSE in your head?

[Tadanori Oyama]

I normally do not like teleporters at all except as major villains or conveyance NPCs. Wayfarer did a decent job of being judicious with his abilities. I particularly enjoyed when you moved Aaron to the otherside of that barrier and realized, a moment later, that you couldn't bring him back without being able to see him and you'd have to go across yourself.

Did you have Speeding Bullet on your teleportation, to prevent things resisting the effect?

[clockworkjoe]

so you have a MUSE in your head?

yeah basically.

I posted Wayfarer earlier in this thread. You can look at his abilities there.

[Tadanori Oyama]

That was an amazing moment for Norm in Episode 12. Straight out of the comics; like when Bruce Banner has finally found a way to keep the Hulk at bay but then has to pass it up because they need the big guy for something heroic.
