It's very hard to miss the puffy white tail.&nbsp; She can often be found lazing about in her space pajamas, which is really just a dark purple bodysuit.&nbsp; She has been convinced to wear all sorts of earth clothing, and she seems to lack modesty...<br><br>She does sometimes wear a cowboy hat when hunting bounties, though.<br>(http://i.imgur.com/nE55m0M.jpg)<br></div></div><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">XP Gained</div><div class="spoiler_body">5 XP total (as of 1-24)<br><br>3 XP in post 21 of the IC<br><br>2 XP in Post 12 of the IC<br><br>1 XP to everyone using the event milestone for teaming up!<br>1 XP to Kanina for unsuccessfully attempting to flirt with Darclight<br><br>1 XP to Kanina for trying to flirt with Auxilia<br>0 XP for nailing an Auxie drone.<br>2 from the Gibson incident<br>1 for the first Milestone of In the Name of the Moon!<br><br>1 because Guan used a d12 in Ace's section<br><br>XP Spent 15<br><br>-15 XP to Tech Expert<br><br><br><br>XP total 3</div></div><br><br><br><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Background Notes/Prewriting</div><div class="spoiler_body">Beyond the Zaichik Sun (at least relative to Earth) rests the strange nearly artificial planet of the same name.&nbsp;

Everyone expected her to run things, and she assumed one of her older siblings would usurp in a few days.<br><br>She stole the Royal Pleasure Yacht and headed out into the Galaxy, making her way as a mercenary for good causes and a bounty hunter.&nbsp; She had many adventures on her own before crash landing on earth and hooking up with some local superheroes after some shenanigans that likely involved the breaking of several minor earth laws and the consumption of massive amounts of liquor.<br><br>Of course, Zaichik law had no provision for an abdicating monarch...and the planet fell into chaos...</div></div>

				Heya Shadowfox; I noticed you didn't have any specialties listed, I listed every available skill in a spoiler tag (specialty is just another name for skill), here they all are again for you to choose from;<br><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Specialty List</div><div class="spoiler_body">Acrobatic<br>Business<br>Combat<br>Cosmic (as in knowledge of aliens, planets etc)<br>Covert<br>Crime<br>Medical<br>Menace<br>Mystic<br>Psych (psychology and face skills)<br>Science<br>Tech<br>Vehicle</div></div><br>Pick some that apply to your character. They are usually ranked d8 for Expert knowledge though your character may be a world class Master in a rare case, which makes it a d10. Try not to have more than one or two at d10 and I'd recommend grabbing four to six of the above, whatever you feel is right for your character. :)<br><br>FourthShade; Everything looks good, but you can rename Enhanced Hearing to enhanced senses (it's the same thing and affords you a bit of leeway to use the die in other aspects) and otherwise your character sheet looks good, I like it. :)

				Yeah, going in I think three good Scene Distinctions and an NPC sheet for Silver Spider may be good, just so we can see what we're dealing with and have more options for the upcoming battle.<br><br>Another thing is Initiative Order... Usually it's fastest speed/flight/etc dice users first, followed by Senses users. Though I think right now our GM wants the intros from us in, then they'll get the action going proper.

				I think it's kinda good sport for the GM to pass the xp out, though Kitt earned 1xps from both his Milestones too. Best wait and see what the GM says, though keeping a sort of mental track before noting in the tags may be a good call. It'd be hard for them to note every post and check the character sheets to see if xp is earned or not.<br><br>Edit: We could mention in spoiler lines that we earned xp and if the GM thinks it's cool, which they can say here or in their update posts?

				There is something KIND of close to that on pages 35-37 of the Operations Manual, where you either need to have a Trait higher then the highest of (in this case) Senses, or you need to spend a die from the Doom Pool equal to or higher than that.&nbsp; I'm not sure if it's dependent on the individual Senses level of the character you're attacking or not, though.

				As I mentioned before, initiative doesn't really work like that in this system.&nbsp; The numbers only really count for determining who goes first at the very beginning of the combat, and then after that whoever's turn it is gets to declare who goes next at the end of their turn.&nbsp; In an online format, we should probably allow the person to declare again if their initial choice winds up being a little slow to reply, or should allow the GM to step in and select someone else if the person doing the declaring is also being a bit slow, but aside from that I don't think we'll have too many problems.<br><br>Also, for handling the stats for the Silver Spider's Gang, might I recommend looking at the Mob of Minor Villains enemy in the first part of the Breakout mini-event for a good possible alternate way to handle them?&nbsp; Those stats with the two limits from your initial stats for them added on would be a pretty solid set of stats for what they're supposed to be, I think.<br><br>Anyway, time to see if Ace can lay down a Complication on these goons, based on what's available on the scene...<br><br>Edit: ...Assuming Premier is alright with me going next, anyway.

				I thought of this for stealth also, you could create a 'hiding spots' complication against others, especially if you have the area effect sfx. It would work as a die to add to pools not only for adding to attack rolls but also an opposed defence. Though it'd probably be better to use an Asset, because it'd be the same mechanical effect without inadvertantly knocking out a character from a scene, as d12+ complication is the same as d12+ stress on someone. That wouldn't make sense just for someone hiding, unless it was a chase scene and the runner was rolling to escape their pursuers, then it'd make sense.

				Also...<br><br>If an effect is targetting a Watcher character, they can roll that NPCs dice as a reaction, without needing to spend any doompool dice. The mooks are smalltime, though potentially Silver Spider could resist an effect, even with a result of 15 to go against.<br><br>Also, given the power levels here, I think 5d6 is too low for the mooks. There isn't a single person in the team who couldn't one-shot a die and so make this over before the first round has finished, thanks to the area effect use also.

				The asset Doc Tabby created wasn't targeting a Watcher character, but I will agree that it probably wouldn't hurt to bump the mob up to 5d8 if Guancyto is intending for them to last beyond the first round.&nbsp; That said, if Silver Spider succeeds in tying up Ace this turn, I don't think we've actually got too many other people with Area Effect SFX on the team.<br><br>Plus, we haven't seen Silvia Atel's pet spider yet, either...

				Generally the done thing would be for the Watcher to resolve the current action before the next person posts. Sure, some actions may succeed or fail based on what the doompool currently is, though opposed action effects are stepped down if the defender has a higher effect, so if a character had a d8 in a successful attack, but the defender failed but still had a d10+, the attack's damage is reduced to d6. Same with critical successes, if you roll 5+ more, each extra 5 steps up the effect die, so getting a d6 on an attack but rolling 10 more than the defender makes it a d10 effect.<br><br>One last thing to quickly mention (I know this hasn't come up yet), it is the Watcher who gives out PPs, they can choose not to buy 1s or step up 2+ 1s to less die and so offer less PPs.<br><br>That all said, perhaps to make it more clear who we vote to go next, we could put a line in bold at the end of our IC posts perhaps?

				My only concern at the 7d6 for the mob is d8 stress will knock off a die (to knock off a die only needs stress one side over it, not the usual d12+) and there are area effect users, so they're gonna be knocked out like flies. My suggestion for d8s was basically to give Silver Spider's side a bit more of a chance to survive the first round... ^^;;<br><br>Also, just to clarify for when it happens (because it's bound to), if your effect is d12+ (as in you've made a critical and it goes <em>over</em> d12 due to step-ups), you get a secondary effect, though this one should be linked in some way to the narrative you made. Now I haven't double-checked, though this means if you get one step over d12, that's a d12 and a d6 effect (which damage wise causes the trauma a character would get when knocked out). Might start at d4 and go up, but I don't think so.<br><br>Oh and I agree the Watcher <em>should</em> buy some 1s, my main point was to show to avoid PP farming that those 1s can be used to grab a stepped up dice, rather than multiple d6s.

				What might help in future posts is naming the dice used when listing them.<br><br>As in 'Affiliation Name dX, Distinction Name: dX, Power Name: dX, Specialty Name: dX', followed by extras, like where PP spends have gone etc. Then follow it with the dicebot links.<br><br>Makes it easier for others to see what dice have gone where and why.

Rolls are 7, 2, 1, 4, 5, spending that doom die add a third die, making the defense total 16 with d8 effect, so you successfully create a d10 Complication and have momentarily prevented her escape!

				Unresolved action, fair enough, let's see.

				A few quick notes, though I think you already know these.<br><br>1: You can only step up Doom dice if multiple opportunities arise on the same roll.&nbsp; IE, if there's only 1 opportunity created by a player, you can only add a d6 to the Doom Pool, you can't step up a currently-existing d6 to a d8. (98.9% sure you know this, but it's worth saying since there's quite a few dice flying around.)<br><br>2: This might be shaky, but according to my reading of the rules for how this works, as per what wander is saying, the die you spend from the Doom Pool determines how powerful the effect is.&nbsp; IE, if you spend a d10, then you get a d10 effect.&nbsp; But if you only spend a d6, then d6 is the strength of the effect.&nbsp; The rules aren't 100% clear on that.<br><br>3: Since you succeeded extraordinarily against the action, technically the effect die for the Doom Pool's roll is a d12 (step up by one), though I'm not entirely sure what that means...

				On point 2, it's basically how me and others have played the game as. Whilst it may not be the case, I was a member of the dev's forum and they never corrected any of us when mentioning it.<br><br>On point 3, I missed that, nice catch. Because it's only a defence and they succeeded anyway, nothing happens. At least for this case, though perhaps if they did follow up to spend a doom die to place an effect on Kitt, it could be said the effect would be stepped up by one, possibly. Though I'm unsure if spending the doom die may count as a seperate action of the GM, even if it's linked narratively to the botched action.

				Don't I get a roll to avoid that stress?&nbsp; Or something?&nbsp; It seems kind of...broken that you can just inflict stress with absolutely no way to try and mitigate the effects if someone fails a roll, and there's either a doom die or a PP to spend on it.&nbsp; Also, the example in the book only uses the two characters concerned in the roll - Cyclops and a Sentinel.&nbsp; There's no mention of a third character in there anywhere, and the text in the book says that the Sentinel can create a Complication or inflict stress on Cyclops, or create an Asset.<br><br>EDIT: And as GM, you will always have Doom Dice.&nbsp; ALWAYS.

				You can temporarily add one of your own complications onto your own roll at the cost of 1 PP and stepping it up afterwards, or you can roll to remove the complication and, after you succeed, spend 1 PP to keep another effect die as an asset.&nbsp; Either of those two options would probably work for whatever idea you've got, I think. ^^

				His powers work from warping space, it's basically kinda portal stuff, though he can wrap the target in a bubble and teleport that if he wants. Generally though he tends to think with portals and math trajectories etc when using that aspect of his power.<br><br>As for your question... His senses basically give him spatial awareness around him, as a sorta sixth sense. I've never pondered if he could abort a bum teleport because he sorta does it as an instant action kinda thing. If a teleport mishap happened he'd probably be stuck with it, though seeing as his spatial awareness covers his max teleport rank (2.5 miles, basically to the horizon of his sight) he'd likely lose them but if he concentrated, he could likely find where they went. He wouldn't be able to remote see them or anything, he'd just end up sorta 'knowing' they were at X location. It's a weird sorta ESP thing, at least as far as his Senses work.

				Same here.&nbsp; Ace has Superhuman Senses d10 - the major characters in the canon datafiles who have that are <em>Daredevil</em> and <em>Wolverine</em>, who can do incredible things with them.&nbsp; Darclight has only a d8, but his senses are Cybernetic, which means stuff like thermal/night/x-ray vision and any sensor on the Iron Man armor...only <em>better</em> (as Iron Man has Cybernetic Senses d6).<br><br>They're not Godlike, but <em>together</em> they should know nearly everything there is to know about that case.<br><br>EDIT: Plus, Darclight is already starting to suspect <em>something</em> is up, as the Spider tried to steal something that belonged to her...

				I think so, GM.&nbsp; As a note - games tend to die if they're left unattended too long.&nbsp; In that way, they're a lot like bunnies.&nbsp; So, suggestion: set a time limit - people get X days to post before you pick up the thread and move it along.&nbsp; Yes, people are busy, but that's why you give them days rather than hours.&nbsp; Just don't make it weeks.

				Hello, everyone! ^^ Long time no see, right?&nbsp; The real-life issues that had me stepping away from this game back in March have largely been resolved, so I thought I'd check in with Guancyto and see if I could rejoin the game.&nbsp; He gave me the go-ahead, so if you'll all have me, Ace will be getting back in on this new scene.<br><br>Edit: I'm thinking it might be a good idea to explain her absence from the game as her having gone back down to Earth to personally follow up on that lead with the Silver Spider that she had wanted to call up the authorities about.&nbsp; We could say that her investigation didn't pan out, but that she got a call from Ghost letting her know where the rest of the group was headed and roughly what they're up to.<br><br>I'm thinking she could have been filled in on everything that the party currently knows about Auxilia, except for the sex-related stuff. :P

				...And since I'm rather excited to get started, I've already worked out what Ace's first action would be. ^^; First, though, some things that might be useful for everybody...<br><br>Cheat Sheet for Heroes (http://nerdnyc.com/tmp/marvel/Hero-Cheat-Sheet.pdf), useful for figuring out the various actions you can perform in each scene and how to work up your dicepools.<br><br>Cheat Sheet for Watchers (http://nerdnyc.com/tmp/marvel/Watcher-Cheat-Sheet.pdf), the same as above, but with extra bits for the GM.<br><br>Note the bit about how XP can be spent during Transition Scenes, and the things it can be spent on.&nbsp; Ace has 10 XP, which would be just enough to bump her Enhanced Reflexes d8 up to Superhuman Reflexes d10...<br><br>Also, during a Transition Scene, plot points can be spent to create Resources that heroes can then use in the next Action Scene.&nbsp; Since the Cosmic specialty in the book mentions that 'the occasional alien artifact' can be created as a Cosmic resource, I'm thinking that Ace could create a Venusian Hypno-Ray d8 as a Cosmic resource to use on the giant kraken mentioned in the scene description.<br><br>Then she could spend her turn creating an Asset with her Science specialty and Gamma Laser Eyebeams and newly-upgraded Superhuman Reflexes.&nbsp; I'm thinking it would be a 'Monstrous Transformation' Asset, reflecting that she whipped up a special serum from local ingredients that turned her into a sexy fish-creature (http://gelbooru.com/index.php?page=post&amp;s=view&amp;id=2875572) of some sort, and she would spend her other plot point to make it persistent for the rest of the scene.<br><br>And then Ace and her hypnotized giant kraken would get to be the evil villains that the rest of the heroes and Auxilia would team up to fight against, or at least that would be the plan they'd go in with. ^^;

				Not entirely, no. Silver Age Marvel was more on the serious side of things, for example.&nbsp; But the villains and often the heroes tended to have all sorts of creative and fantastical powers, and science in general was considerably more bendable than it is in most forms of modern fiction.<br><br>Ace in particular is pretty strongly patterned after Silver Age Superman and Supergirl, where having a power set that included 'everything a normal human can do, but super' meant that they could be placed into all sorts of wacky situations and have to deal with all sorts of over-the-top problems, and their solutions could be just as crazy and over-the-top in response.<br><br>For example, did you know that shape shifting aliens once tried to convince Supergirl that passing through some stellar radiation on a space mission had caused her to develop the ability to accidentally murder any superpowered being she touched? And that she only saw through their tricks when going over a tape recording she was making at the time revealed that the fake Comet the Super Horse that she ran into was speaking to her out loud, rather than with his telepathy?<br><br>And don't even get me started on the time some Kryptonian villains in the Phantom Zone concocted an elaborate escape plan that hinged on mind-controlling Supergirl's adoptive father into making her cry...&nbsp; Basically, Ace is going to be a bit silly, even by the standards of the universe she's been dropped into, and it's already a much less serious place than most modern superhero universes. :P

				Hey all, was having a chat with Reiji and I wanted to ask how you all felt about having a list of standing XP bounties for solving mysteries, turning bad guys, gathering vital information and general long-term objectives that don't really fit into the Scene Milestone system. Seems like it would be a good way to set some secondary objectives above and beyond the immediate needs for a scene (achievements, if you will).

				I think they have faction-based or event-long milestones in some of the published event books that tend to work that way. Usually, they tend to tie those in with special resources for the event that can be unlocked with a little XP expenditure after hitting the 10 XP trigger on the relevant Milestone. Getting a new or upgraded power set, or unlocking a new character to play as or a resource that lasts for the entire length of the event, that sort of thing.<br><br>I don't think I'd mind too much if you'd prefer to make it a set of free-floating XP bounties, though. It should be a good way to get some decent sums of XP on-hand to unlock those special resources I mentioned. ^^

				Er, from what I can tell, Doc Tabby created her chainsaw as an asset, so given what I know of the rules, I don't think that description would really work to turn it into a new distinction like that. ^^; Instead, that description looks more like you should activate the limit on her One Smart Kitty power to turn Sorcery d10 or Mimic d10 into a Runaway Chainsaw d10 complication, or something along those lines. You can offer Tabs a plot point for that, and if she turns it down, you can spend a die from the doom pool to activate it anyway.<br><br>I was expecting the new distinction to be something like Hypnotized Masses when I suggested it, to be honest.

				Okay! 10xp for the team it is. Enjoy, guys!<br><br>Actually, now that you mention it, I was gonna ask about that! The book seems to indicate that the recruited character might be under the command of a player, in place of their usual character. Am I reading that right? (i.e. if we go that route, every now and again Ace winds up off somewhere helping with a natural disaster or the like, and you play the reformed Silver Spider?) Edit: The Breakout adventure seems to indicate that getting an allied hero to drop in as an NPC costs XP every Act?<br><br>Because I'd be totally down with that, I just want to make sure I've got the details right. (Reiji has put character sheets on Darclight's entire old superteam behind the scenes, from the pizza delivery guy to the psychic alien princess, so I get the feeling there's some interest from that corner as well.

				Cool! That looks good.<br><br>Her Milestones would depend a lot on the circumstances of how you recruit her (no sense in having a Milestone centered around Lord Recluse if he's been sent into the Phantom Zone, you know?), but I'm interested to hear your ideas on how to tweak her to function as a hero.<br><br>As for other people playing her, that's fair! Choosing a new character from the roster for an Act is totally a thing you can do; admittedly it seems like it would work better for canon characters ("I get to be Daredevil this time") than it would with original ones. I sort of suspect that if that's an option you all exercise, there would be more troupe play with people you've picked up along the way (Besiruilbu, Silver Spider, Ghost, Shovel Knight, Stitches, Firebat, [REDACTED], Will-o'-the-Wisp, Fencer and Hound, etc.) It's harder to imagine someone else playing the characters you've started with.

				For the 10 XP milestones, those are generally framed as a choice between two mutually-exclusive options.&nbsp; So, for example, the 10 XP for the first milestone could be '10 XP when you stand free at last, name cleared, record clean and beholden to no one, or when you turn down your shot at freedom for the sake of helping out someone dear to you.'<br><br>The 1 XP trigger for Red On My Ledger seems like it would work better in the 3 XP slot, for that matter.&nbsp; Perhaps as a new 1 XP option you could have '1 XP when you talk about how a current predicament reminds you of a caper from your criminal past', or something along those lines?<br><br>Why so Blue, Dear? looks pretty much perfect, aside from expanding out that 10 XP option.

				Well, there's that Complication removed, unless our GM rolls well and wants to spend more dice from the doom pool to match my roll, of course.&nbsp; Since I am acting as a villain in this scene, would my fellow players be able to spend Plot Points to activate the opportunities I roll?&nbsp; I think Tabs is going to want to start breaking out the gadgets right about now...

				I should note that characters only get stressed out when their stress gets stepped up past d12, so I think that Doc Tabby should still be active in the scene, at least for now.&nbsp; And if it winds up coming up, as a default, Ace deliberately pulls her punches in order to avoid inflicting trauma when she stresses somebody out.&nbsp; Also, part of the reason I asked about the possibility of Doc Tabby activating one of my opportunities was that I imagined she could have a little help resisting the stress headed her way by pulling out another gadget of some sort as a resource, like a suit of powered armor or something like that.&nbsp; It would be another way of showing her superiority, basically.<br><br>That said, given the actions that Doc Tabby is described as taking, it looks like she might be attempting to inflict some sort of Grappled or Molested complication on Ace, possibly combined with spending a Plot Point to keep an extra effect die for Emotional Stress...<br><br>Edit: And if you want Tabs to be taken out for some reason, you can also spend a Plot Point to roll that d12 Emotional stress into your pool for that action, which will step it up by one and stress her out afterwards.&nbsp; It should certainly make for a sizable dice pool, though. ^^;

If you do this when the heroes are looking good and the villains are on the ropes, ask the players how they want to wrap it up. Ask questions just like you do at the beginning of a Scene. If a major villain's involved, present a tough choice to the heroes, though make it clear that they're won something even if the villain's presence colors it somewhat.<br><br>If, on the other hand, you spend the 2D12 when the Scene is going against the heroes, or they're struggling against insurmountable odds, you can bring the Scene to a close and invite the players to describe how they lost or what they had to sacrifice.<br><br>Bringing the players in on this underscores how important they are as the writer/artist of their heroes, while still making it clear that the doom pool brought this about.</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br>Making the scene chaotic would probably be a good way to setup a tough choice for everyone to make.&nbsp; I know that I'm thinking Ace will probably exit the scene while shaking her fist impotently at the heroes and shouting out threats about how she'll get them next time, and then she'll have to swim naked back to where she left her clothing and get dressed again, but that was the only thought I had for how she'd end things.

				Rolling a bunch of opportunities like that isn't all that bad, since you are going to get at least two plot points out of it. ^^; And if Guancyto condenses those four opportunities on that last roll into a d12, Ace won't have to use the Impulsive SFX on her next action, which will certainly help me with figuring out the narrative aspects behind the action I want to take.

				Hah, I don't think Tabs <em>quite</em> counts (yet, anyway)<br><br>SO. Writing the utter chaos that is the next round has brought something to my attention: I have been playing Complications all wrong. Like Assets, you need to spend PP/doom to make them Persistent.<br><br>(I had been wondering why Stress was generally the inferior option for anybody you didn't hate; guess that's why)<br><br>ALSO. Doom pool is in a place where I can end the scene and we can resolve the results narratively, so the basic summary of the round results/next round are about as follows:<br><br>With Kanina's help, Auxie gets on comms and warns about superhero response (well, she thinks it is a good thing, but she's a little confused about what team everyone's on), which is Falling Petal using smoke arrows as makeshift artillery flares, letting a coast guard flotilla start bombarding the kraken (Coast Guard cutter armaments tend to be small-arms in naval terms, but we're still talking ranges of 1-5 miles and heavy machine guns and automatic grenade launchers; with civilians about it pays to be precise). Darclight has it pretty thoroughly frozen up so this is going to be super effective.<br><br>Ace has not shaken off her Mad Cat Sidekick because you'll never get rid of her, ever<br><br>Tabs manages to hack the gibson and implant the soulgem into the kraken's heart, right about as the coast guard's grenades start falling. Between the ice, the mind control, the merger of the rudimentary kraken-psyche with a supermage and suddenly being extra-special under attack, the kraken-mage flips the ever-loving fuck out.<br><br>What I want to ask you all is, do you want to stick it out a couple more rounds to deal with this, or resolve things now?<br><br>Do you want your next scene to be directly related to the aftermath of this one (action), or would you like to retreat and recuperate (transition)?

				I would personally go for whichever option A: causes the least GM strain, and B: offers the most interpersonal interaction possibilities.&nbsp; Darclight has a lot of recruiting he wants to do for Stormwatch - Auxilia is a good place to start, maybe tag in Ghost and Boushh as well, and see if he can't sway Falling Petal away from CHESS (which is probably highly diminished if not totally gone like other superteams) and onto his squad.

				Complications last until the end of the current action scene, and spending a plot point on them extends the duration to the end of the next action scene.&nbsp; As for stress vs complications, stress is harder to get rid of, and both stress and complications can be added onto a roll, so it's usually worth it to try and inflict both when going up against a tough opponent.<br><br>I believe we'll get at least a short transition scene to allow a chance to create more resources and roll to recover stress if we do decide to deal with the aftermath, and I know Ace's action during said transition scene is probably going to be 'Oh no! My clothes!' :P<br><br>That said, I find myself generally agreeing with Reiji.&nbsp; Whichever option will be easiest and offer up the opportunity for the most fun sounds good to me.

				You also have to spend PP, I think, to invoke Complications after the first time.&nbsp; I'm not 100% on it, and I might just be misremembering the FATE system, but.<br><br>Kuno is right in that stress is harder to get rid of - you need to basically take an action during a Transition Scene in order to recover stress.&nbsp; Kuno would be in a better position to know it, but I think you can only make one stress recovery attempt per Scene?&nbsp; Which limits the kind of stress you can recover.&nbsp; You can, I think, spend to keep extra effect dies in order to heal multiple types of stress in that one roll, but you do only get one.

				Stress and Trauma both are, yes.&nbsp; Though, you can't use your own Trauma on a roll, and if you use your own Stress on a roll, you have to spend a plot point and step it up afterwards.&nbsp; You can also make use of Complications you're suffering from the same way. ^^

				Ace recruiting the Silver Spider is going to be something she takes care of, for sure.&nbsp; She would definitely join Stormwatch if the offer was made to her, too.&nbsp; As for moving forward from here, the overall goal is to stop Zohar and round up all the villains that escaped, right?&nbsp; Gathering information is going to be pretty crucial to that, I'd say.&nbsp; So it's just a question of what we can do to get said information.<br><br>That said, reclaiming an old Stormwatch base also sounds like it could be pretty fun. ^^ Though, the possibility of it being run as a satirical dungeon crawl makes me think of Base Raiders. :P

				Stealth, gadgets, detective'ing, social awkwardness and a connection to Darclight makes me think she could be one of the errant members of the scattered Stormwatch Black, the covops team counterpart to Darclight's High-Threat-Response. (Or an independent operator; world's got lots of those) <br><br>Will say that making her a futa would sort of limit smut with watcher characters because that's not really my thing, but I certainly wouldn't have object to the concept if you wanted to pursue it! (as it is, the dedicated intelligence-gatherers are all Watcher characters and the sneaks are all villains, altering that dynamic would be okay!)

				Stormwatch Black could definitely be an option.&nbsp; As far as the rest of her backstory goes, I'm thinking it might be interesting to make her a second- or third-generation superhero, and I'm thinking Night Owl might be a good superhero name.&nbsp; Her enhanced physical abilities would come from a mystical 'Amulet of the Night' that's worked into her costume, her vast fortune and training and gadgets were all provided by her parents, who aren't dead, but who did go into retirement when the rest of the superhero community did, and are currently off-planet...<br><br>If I do wind up making her a futa, it will probably be because the Amulet of the Night is cursed.&nbsp; Still on the fence about that one, though.

				Let's see... to start! Since the Action Scene ended, your emotional stress automagically stepped back to d8.<br><br>As I understand it, stress recovery is just an action however you want to swing it, against the doom pool. If you succeed and the effect die is equal to your Stress or better, you step it back by 1. If you fail, you step it up by 1. (If you succeed and the effect die is too small, it just doesn't do anything.)<br><br>Emotional Stress also seems the most flexible for counteracting. For instance, on the Space Hopper's trip over, Tabs could work on a magic-related project to cheer herself up. You'd probably go with distinction + sorcery + mystic master. If she insisted on working alone she'd also use her Solo distinction, if she recruited an Auxilia lab team she could use her Team distinction. (So, 3d10+1d8)<br><br>If that failed vs the doom pool, something might go wrong and she'd get more frustrated, stepping Emotional Stress back up to d10. If it succeeded, she could step it down to d6 because nothing says a happy kitty like something pretty.<br><br>Also, a buddy can help you with a trait of their own (if she got Kanina to help cheer her up somehow) if you give them a PP. Or if they have a SFX that lets them do that (like Tabs' Trust Me, I'm A Doctor for Physical Stress)<br><br>(Also, you're not in the Action Scene until you've posted, so recovering stress or spending XP at the very tail end is fine. That's more a quirk of PbP format than anything, in a face-to-face game you'd just go, 'hang on a minute I gotta recover stress')

				Actually, GM, I may be off on this, but I read and reread that section on stress recovery, and it doesn't say that <em>you</em> trying to recover your own stress in a Transition scene causes it to be stepped up if you fail.&nbsp; The only place I read/saw that was when someone was trying to recover stress during an Action Scene, which requires an Ally if you don't have a stress recovery/elimination SFX.<br><br>Also, the effect die of the roll is compared to the Stress, so if it's higher than the rating, it automatically goes away.&nbsp; If it's lower, then it steps down by 1.

				Emotional Stress is easier to heal than Physical because it's generally much harder to defend against.&nbsp; Enhanced Durability will help you defend against punches, but Spider-Man level quips and taunting won't be stopped by having a thick skin. :P Spidey's villains are just lucky he can't toss any of his actual powers into the roll for his taunts without plot points getting spent.<br><br>By the way, out of the three enemies approaching Ace, does the gunship count as a mob, or is it a single target?&nbsp; I don't need to know any hard numbers beyond that, just what type of enemy it counts as.

				Since the gunship is a large-scale threat, Ace is going to be using the AoE SFX on her eye lasers to try and take it out or at least seriously reduce its effectiveness in one fell swoop.&nbsp; Given that I add 1d6 to the dicepool for each additional target, how many do I need to add to target all of its affiliation dice at once?<br><br>Edit: Also, would it be a suitable Tech stunt to say that Ace is trying to target vital areas of the ship with her attack and set off power surges that will cause lots of secondary damage?&nbsp; The end result is getting to add Tech Expert d8 and a d8 stunt die to her next roll in exchange for a plot point, so the mechanics will be pretty simple, it's just a matter of coming up with a suitable description for it.<br><br>Edit2: Also also, please don't forget to keep posting the doom pool in each update.

				GM?&nbsp; Not sure if this is the correct time to mention this, but I'm doing it now.<br><br>Extraordinary results on a given check allow for enhancement of the result - if the action total of a given roll is 5 or more points higher than the reaction total used against it, then you step up your effect die by 1 for every 5 points you're over.&nbsp; (5-9 is +1, 10-14 is +2, 15 or more is +3...)&nbsp; If you do this, and your effect die would be stepped up over d12, you can do one of two things.<br><br>A: You can use a second die as an effect die for the roll.<br>B: If you are attempting to stress out an opponent, you can declare they are automatically stressed out.<br><br>Don't know if that has been on your periphery for the current game, but given what Ace just did to Nephilim, I think it's worth mentioning.<br><br><br><br>EDIT: Also, Nephilim's profile.&nbsp; Does that mean she was a hero at one time?

				I... hm. I actually have no idea. You can use a PP to get an extra effect die, and use a PP to use the effect die from a reaction to tag someone with something, but there's nothing one way or the other that suggests you can or can't do both.<br><br>So what the hell, why not? HOWEVER, you only have 1 PP on hand. (I would also be inclined to say that you'd have to assign the extraordinary success to the enemy you actually got the extraordinary success against, seeing as how you might also get an extraordinary success against Minerva's defense.) That, plus the opportunity (which I will indeed take), would let you try to both tag Minerva and ring out Arachne, <em>or</em> keep an extra die, but not both.<br><br>EDIT: Paging through the OOC to get at the various datafiles got tedious, so here's a datafiles thread:<br>https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=257955.0<br><br>You can add your own character/characters or not as you like (but it'd be nice if you did!)

				I'm not trying to ring out Arachne on that second roll.&nbsp; I'm just trying to dodge her attack and make sure Minerva gets hit by it.&nbsp; That said, I also did activate Ace's Sidekick Syndrome limit to step up Minerva's effect die against me from a d10 to a d12 so that I could have one extra plot point leftover at the end.&nbsp; I'm going to need it for my plan for my next turn. ;)

				Oh yeah! Forgot about Sidekick Syndrome. Let's see... yeah, just 1PP to use a reaction die to do something, then. The defense in that is included, you don't need to buy extra effect dice, so that will indeed leave you with 1PP.<br><br>Minerva's results are d10 Buddy + d8 Mercurial + Multipower Fire Mastery d8 / Superhuman Strength d8 + d10 Combat Master + d12 Almost Completely Petrified + d8 Emotional Stress<br>Results of:<br>&nbsp;6, 3, 8, 3<br>10, 5<br>12<br><br>So the good news is that the d8 doom gets tossed back into the pile to give her a defense total of 30, with d10 effect. Extraordinary success makes it a d12, so that's an effective defense. Bad news is swing and a miss and (even more unfortunately) no watcher opportunities, but it will be your turn again.<br><br>A question for the gallery while I await Darclight's rolls: heroes that are Stressed Out can be revived by their comrades in the same action scene (stepping back their Stress from d12+ to d12). Is this also true of heroes that are Complicated out of the scene?

				I think so, but personally, I'd rather set up a mini-Transition scene involving Ace waking up in captivity with Silvia, or something along those lines.&nbsp; Breaking out from whatever bondage they've been set up in could be the purpose of the Transition scene, and once that's accomplished, then the next Action scene would begin.<br><br>I suppose it'll all come down to whether or not I get lucky with the Stunt I'm planning to pull on my next turn, really.&nbsp; If it works, Minerva might get complicated out of the scene, but if not, then it will be another round of defense rolls, and things will get a lot more dicey.

				xD Yes, you definitely should be trying to spend them about as often as we spend Plot Points. As can be seen from just the last few turns, we'll certainly be adding back into the Doom Pool on a regular enough basis.

				You can, yes.&nbsp; I copied the wording on mine from examples found directly in the book, and the exact wording actually says to 'ignore Physical Stress or Trauma results'.&nbsp; The regular Immunity SFX doesn't have that wording, but also doesn't mention anything about timing at all, so I'd assume it can probably be activated the same way.&nbsp; It's actually fairly accurate to the way fights tend to work in comics, really.&nbsp; Characters with total physical invulnerability often tend to get taken out by either complications, or attacks that would count as hitting one of their other stress tracks.<br><br>Though, now that I think about it, it may be a good idea to alter Ace's Venusite Poisoning Limit so that it also shuts down her Venusian Invulnerability SFX, since the limit already shuts down her Durability power trait.&nbsp; Otherwise, things could get a bit weird from both a mechanical and a narrative standpoint.

Also, you only get one roll per Stress type, but you can make multiple recovery rolls per Transition Scene if you have multiple types of Stress.&nbsp; Recovering power traits works the same way.<br><br>Also also, you get to use the trait die of the power you're trying to recover in your roll, as opposed to the usual stress recovery roll where the GM gets to add the stress die to the Doom Pool.

				Alright. I'm making my recovery rolls and writing up my post now, but one thing I would like to know is how Ace being tied up is being handled.&nbsp; Is it a Complication that's been placed on her, or will it be handled by a straight roll against the Doom Pool or something like that?

				Good question!<br><br>I expect freeing herself will be a roll against the Doom Pool (possibly with the limitations that Sidekick Syndrome imposes, on account of being the same thing as a complication of being tied up).<br><br>I wanna say she pooossibly has a lingering Complication of Receding Petrification that will steadily decrease on its own as the scene progresses, but I'm not actually sure the Watcher gets to do that. ^^; If that is a thing, it starts at d12 at the very opening of the scene (but will not impede her from recovering her powers)

				I think it might work best if I start out with a d12 Captured! complication, or something along those lines, and I get to roll off against the Doom Pool while describing things Ace does to try and sneakily slip out from her bonds.&nbsp; No Godlike Strength, because her Sidekick Syndrome limit applies, but in addition, perhaps she might also get to try a roll or two or some roleplaying to learn more information?<br><br>Of course, I ask mostly because it seems like a good way to finally pick up that 3XP trigger on Silver Age Sensibilities. :P

				So, would that little speech by Minerva count as having tricked her into revealing enough of her organization's plans for Ace to get the 3 XP trigger from Silver Age Sensibilities?&nbsp; If so, I'm probably going to immediately spend those 3 XP on another three Plot Points, since the Action Scene is about to start.<br><br>Speaking of Action Scenes, though, one thing I noticed in the Civil War event book is that one of the Action Scenes there involves appearing before Congress and engaging in a debate with a Congressional Committee.&nbsp; It's a mental and emotional battle that has the option of turning physical if the debate is getting boring by having supervillains interrupt the proceedings and stage an attack.&nbsp; As such, I was thinking that this Action Scene could start with Ace still pretending to be bound and have her start it off by using her Psych Expert specialty to try and deal some Emotional Stress to Minerva.&nbsp; That probably won't last long before she's ready to break her bonds, at which point a more proper fight could then result.&nbsp; Does that sound like it might work?

				Yay. ^^<br><br>Also, if anyone's curious about the mechanics, that plan that Guancyto mentioned earlier was to change things up by using a different die or two for Minerva's final result and then activating her regeneration SFX.&nbsp; Ace's attack succeeded, but not well enough to step up her effect die, and the Physical Stress was tanked, so Minerva was sitting at d12 Emotional Stress when she made her own attack on Ace's Emotional Stress track.&nbsp; Then Ace counterattacks after a successful defense, and the ensuing meltdown should be fun to watch. ;D

				Yes.<br><br>Also, darn heroic morals! It was mostly gonna be a fluff thing to get rid of both of them at once. I don't actually have either the Civil War document or the What If? that I guess contained Hulk, which was apparently free when the game was still sold. (On the face of it, though, those are both meant for heroes who are keeping a monster under control. What do about a villain who's keeping an even bigger monster under control?)<br><br>However! I can stat Out-of-Control Chimera as a large-scale threat and that should probably work fine. I feel like it would share Minerva's regeneration, a 3d10 Affinity die that can grow under certain circumstances (maybe feed it doom dice?), and an Area Attack SFX that it is obligated to use on every available target? (Or maybe it just has a Limit that forces it to hit things randomly.)

				Apologies. I think I'm good.

A lot of people in brightly-colored outfits having nonsense contests, mad schemes and punching each other, where the bad guys (in general) weren't all that bad.

				Here's my take on this particular story, how it should be played out.<br><br>1 - It should be silly and a bit goofy overall.&nbsp; I'm personally tired of the dramatic takes you see in media for superheroes.&nbsp; For some, it's appropriate - Batman was always meant as a darker sort of hero, so a darker sort of story is needed.&nbsp; (That said, I quite liked the tone that they used for Batman TAS.&nbsp; Probably my most perfect Batman depiction.)<br><br><em>Man of Steel</em>, on the other hand, was not at all what I expected out of a Superman story.&nbsp; Okay, Christopher Reeve and being able to fly around the planet to reverse time and save Lois Lane is a <em>bit</em> sillier than what I was thinking of, but the answer was not <em>Man of Steel</em>.<br><br>Ditto, TV-wise, with <em>Arrow</em> and <em>The Flash</em>.&nbsp; Everything always has to be super-serious, the personal dramas of the heroes going alongside the superheroic battles, etc.&nbsp; No.&nbsp; No more of it.&nbsp; I don't know when the last mostly-humorous superhero cartoon or movie or whatever was made, but we're bringing it back for this one.<br><br>2 - That said.&nbsp; Just because the overall tone is light and comic does not mean there are not serious moments, or times when the comic aura that should pervade the whole thing be pushed into the background.&nbsp; Keep it light, but perhaps have serious themes/questions to be answered in the course of the story.<br><br>To give you a few ideas.<br><br>A: This takes place in a world where up until not-so-long-ago, the superheroes had won.&nbsp; The bad guys were locked up or deep in hiding in the Amazon (or maybe the far western parts of China), so the need for the big superheroes went away.&nbsp; Teams disbanded, groups that had existed for years or decades suddenly finding themselves without work, and being forced to leave or adapt.<br><br>Then Zohar shows up and frees all those captive villains (and apparently a few captive heroes).&nbsp; Shakes everything up, everything starts over again.&nbsp; The world is realigning, everything is changing.&nbsp; This may be the moment that a few villains find it within themselves to break ties and leave behind the world that they knew in exchange for a different one.<br><br>Heroes can fall, this people know.&nbsp; But can villains be redeemed?<br><br>B: The world is changing.&nbsp; But that does not mean that everyone welcomes the change.&nbsp; Some people, now that they've been given new opportunities, new chances...will decide that none of those are worth taking the risk or spending the effort to build, and want everything to go back the way it was before.&nbsp; Same old lines, same old enemies, same old grind.&nbsp; (Or maybe they just had a really sweet deal with Starbucks and want to be rolling in cash again.)<br><br>At the same time, there will be those who want to change the paradigm, insist on a newer, hopefully-better world.&nbsp; Redraw the lines, or erase them entirely.&nbsp; Both sides will have their champions, and who is willing to fight more to make their world real?<br><br>And finally, C: give the basic idea of Marvel's <em>Civil War</em> the treatment it deserves, rather than the treatment and horseshit it got, both in the comics and the films.&nbsp; That basic idea being this:<br><br><em>Who watches the superwatchmen?</em><br><br>Because I'm not afraid to spoil internal thoughts, Darclight would be this universe's equivalent of Captain America.&nbsp; Heroes are about helping people, and nationality, political identity, all of those things, get in the way of doing that.&nbsp; No hero should be beholden to a body that is run by people, by elected or appointed officials or bureaucrats.&nbsp; Part of this is because Darclight has reason to distrust human governments, as well as sheer pragmatism - how many supervillains do you know of who would be the same?<br><br>I would suspect that the previously-set-up CHESS, and one of its major heroes, will be the story's Iron Man equivalent.&nbsp; Not for the same reasons as him, though.&nbsp; I would expect talk from the opposition about things like setting up resources, about what will happen when groups like CHESS are disbanded, and just how this 'supers policed by other supers' platform would work.<br><br>Right, now that I've finished with this, on to - <br><br>3 - I think overall, the closest analogue I can come to in media is to replicate the feel (minus the cosmic scope) of <em>Guardians of the Galaxy</em>, and hopefully its sequel.&nbsp; Guardians had fun with itself, it wasn't afraid to be humorous and engage in the shenanigans of most of the crew.&nbsp; But at the same time, the stakes were serious, the villain definitely a threat (even if he had no FUCKING idea what Star-Lord was doing there at the end with the dance off), and an overabundance of comically large weapons.<br><br><br>Anyone else?

				Hmm.&nbsp; On the bright side for Kanina, it looks like the doom pool is still low enough that anyone who treats her injuries should have an easy time winning their roll.&nbsp; On the not-so-bright side, a success will only step her d6 physical trauma back to a d4, rather than getting rid of it entirely.&nbsp; But then, after that, all it would take is the expenditure of a single plot point from Doc Tabs and she'd be healed completely, so this physical trauma shouldn't last too long.<br><br>The only other thing she'll need to recover is some appropriate narrative description, involving receiving some sort of extended care.&nbsp; Something like a few days' bed-rest, or checking into a hospital for a week, that sort of thing.<br><br>Edit: Actually, come to think of it, it would probably be better to spend the Plot Point first to reduce the trauma to d4, then make the roll. Much better chance of success, that way. ^^;

				Hmm.&nbsp; Assuming the first Act closes out with the announcement of the return of Stormwatch, then starting off with an action scene in Act 2 would suggest that that action scene should be about Stormwatch doing Stormwatch things, to show how well (or how poorly) the team has come together.&nbsp; It would also probably be best to at least imply a short timeskip, in that case.<br><br>On the other hand, starting off with a Transition Scene would probably work better if the next Act is meant to continue on almost immediately after the end of Act 1.<br><br>So, I suppose for me, my answer is that it depends on what sort of plot you're trying to set up. ^^;

				Well, when I turned control of Silver Spider back over to you, I had hoped that you would be the one to have Silvia fill everyone else in on what she knows about the badguys' master plan, for one. :P I imagine we could have our debriefing while lounging on the beach pretty easily.<br><br>Most of the other stuff I can think of is stuff that Ace would probably do solo, like rebuilding the Stormwatch base at super speed, or looking up the meanings of a few new words she's encountered on the internet and then being scandalized at all the pornography that that would inevitably lead her to.

				Hmm, Fire Blast d12 is roughly the same level of power as a nuke, Fire Supremacy d12 can create effects large enough to extend over a small country and Fire Resistance d12 is a near-immunity to fire-based attacks...&nbsp; Ace would say yes right away to letting her join, but of course Darclight is the one making the final call on that sort of thing. :P<br><br>A couple of the SFX on your power-sets need minor corrections on mechanical terms, but otherwise they look good. Supernova on the first powerset should say Physical Stress, rather than Physical Damage, and if it's based on the Human Torch's similar SFX, it should probably trigger on each subsequent Action or Reaction, rather than just on your actions. Meanwhile, the Heals up real nice SFX on the second powerset still says to spend doom dice, rather than plot points. Also, if the idea on that second one is that she's been upgraded from having good stamina to having full-on regeneration, it might also be a good idea to take the text from other healing SFX about letting a plot point step back Physical Trauma, in addition to getting rid of Physical Stress.<br><br>The Milestones need a bit more work. A better 3 XP option for The New Hotness might be one that triggers when you get taken out by your own Supernova SFX in a fight, for example, since the 3 XP rewards can only be triggered once per scene. 10 XP rewards can be triggered once per event, and should have a bit of a choice to them, since they're generally supposed to reflect the end of a major story arc for a character. So, for example, the Millennials 10 XP trigger could be 'When you finally decide to become an adult and take shit seriously, or your refusal to do so leads to a major disaster.'<br><br>Aside from those small issues, Sofiya's character sheet looks pretty good to me.

				Did have a chat about it beforehand and the D12's are kinda the point! She wields the power of a sun, just not very elegantly and has been stuck with a whole lot of responsibility she's not going to be that amazing at handling which is the character arc really. That and it's just fun to see someone try to carefully crack wallnuts with a sledgehammer.<br><br>The Fire Resistance is so she doesn't just burn herself up every time she uses her power, as it's the sort of thing that is probably going to end up with a lot of fire related floating about.&nbsp; Not really to anything else though and she's still regular teen strength.<br><br>Tidied the sheet up a bit though!<br><br><br><br>

				Oh, I certainly wasn't complaining about how powerful she's become.&nbsp; I am playing Ace, after all, so I'm throwing around quite a few d12s myself. ^^; One thing I should note about the Fire Resistance, though, is that you could also just take the Immunity SFX instead, if you wanted.&nbsp; It's how they handled the Human Torch's resistance to flames on his official datafile, though taking Fire Resistance as a power trait is also a valid way to handle it.&nbsp; I suppose it would come down to whether you prefer rolling for it or spending plot points on it.<br><br>Ah, and that healing SFX should be 'Spend 1 PP to remove Physical Stress OR step back Physical Trauma', rather than doing both on a single plot point. ^^; I should've been more clear in my wording when suggesting it before.
