Marvel Heroics TTPRPG April 2014 onwards

[Tai Kwang]

Creating a new forum for this...and will continue from the previous sessions..

So previously, on Marvel Heroics...

***

Good evening. This is Samonlina Chung, Daily 25 Evening News. For today’s highlights, the U.S. government has decided to work with the Chinese and the Russians to deal with the apparent undead threat in Guangdong, China. Colonel James Rhodes, aka the Iron Patriot, is taking charge of coordinating the chosen teams to deal with the scenario.

In London, members of the Braddock Academy and several noted superheores of the country are on high alert in response to the recent abduction of some of their known superheroes, such as Captain Britain and Pete Wisdom. So far, no further comments were made in regrads to the recent situation.

In the outskirts of Southern California Washington and New York, several Sentinels have appeared and are attacking nearby groups of mutants. S.H.I.E.L.D. has denied any knowledge in regards to these incidents, and suspected tie-ins with the recent incapitation of the new line of Avengers by the Brotherhood of Mutants.

Also in New York, near the Hudson Valley, a few Frost Giants have appeared to have tried to invade Earth, though this was swiftly thwarted by who are believed to be members of the X-Men and a Spiderman, what it appears to be in a different outfit. S.H.I.E.L.D is currently investigating this matter.

….. 

[Kelvin Ganesan]

So I am guessing that the game this Friday is on then? I just want to confirm my attendance and also to let Suresh know. Might be hard to play without our Spiderman there.

Kelvin Ganesan

[Razzman Khaliff]

Suresh, I remember him saying that he won't be back in KL for another 2 weeks.

[Kelvin Ganesan]

Ah ok. Anyway, just to let him know. Since most of our discussion that day was after your game.

Regards,
Kelvin Ganesan

[Tai Kwang]

sorry guys, i wont be around tomorrow, something came out with the family..so...perhaps alex can continue with his pathfinder RPg without me..will continue in the next instead

From, Kwang TL

[Razzman Khaliff]

hey so this week's marvel game is on? We will still come, if Kwang can't make I will bring my VTM books just in case.

[Kelvin Ganesan]

Yeah. That is the plan.

Regards,
Kelvin Ganesan

[Tai Kwang]

am good today, so who's coming?

[Kelvin Ganesan]

So far Razz, Alex and me.

[Razzman Khaliff]

Alex just had to duck out. Parents visiting.

[Tai Kwang]

lol...anywho..

need kevin and razz to update and send their current datafile for me to keep. Can you post them here?

[Kelvin Ganesan]

You mean our character sheets? You want us to scan it or do we just type in the necessary stuff?

Regards,
Kelvin Ganesan

[Tai Kwang]

[Kelvin Ganesan]

Alright, will do it by this weekend.

Regards,
Kelvin Ganesan

[Kelvin Ganesan]

Also, you will need Alex's as well. 

Regards,
Kelvin Ganesan

[Razzman Khaliff]

Alright Kwang I've tried changing your setting in the mailing list, why don't you see if you can post on this thread. By all reckoning nothing was changed and you should have been able to post all this while but try and see if you can post stuff now.

[Kelvin Ganesan]

Odd, I doubt any of the settings changed. He did start this thread so it should be ok. But anyway, Kwang, if you still can't post, just SMS me or Razzman and we will add your personal email address here so you can post. 

In the alternative, get a gmail account :P

Regards,
Kelvin Ganesan

[Ivan Tam]

Could be the Yahoo account shunting all mailing lists into the Spam folder...

[Razzman Khaliff]

Well I checked his account on the googlegroups and he does have posting permission like any other member but just to make sure I ticked the Override: Member is allowed to post option.

[Tai Kwang]

Hmm..

Odd...

anyways...I'll stick the using your replies to reply to the forums :P

[Razzman Khaliff]

Ah I'm glad it works now.

[Tai Kwang]

Great...testing again...sorry for the post delay..

"We apologise for the technical delay to broadcast the recent news, due to unforseen circumstances"

 

Good evening. This is Samonlina Chung, Daily 25 Evening News. For today’s highlights, a few days ago, there was yet another prison break in the newly built Spider Island. However, the situation was quickly contained in the available SHIELD security. A few noted escapees that are still pursuit of are The Green Goblin aka Norman Osborn and Cletus Kassidy aka Carnage.

Not far from the prison site, it would appear that Spiderman has jumped into and disappeared with one of the recently appearing portals of Frost Giants. Will we see Spiderman again, we’ll never know.

In other news, London and France, member of the Braadock academy are still on the search for their fellow superheroes. Their current spokesman, Meggan, has commented that these attacks may have been of supernatural in nature and are still looking into it.

Meanwhile, in response to the recent attack on the New Avengers, SHILED director Maria Hill,has formed a task force to hunt down the Brotherhood of Mutants as soon as possible. We have recently obtained information from an unnamed source has indicated that SHIELD stock markets are plummeting due to the spendings to the recent attacks during the past few weeks and that several members of the UN has refused to subsidies SHIELD’s recent expenditures to up to US$  trillion. The SHIELD director has made no comment at this moment.

****

Yesterday morning, in response to the recent events involving the disappearances of Spirderman and the escaped super villain, Green Goblin and Carnage, Mayor Jonah Jameson has declared the approval and deployment of the Spider Slayers robots, which are developed and are recently announced by the Alchemax Corporation, in an attempt pursue the two escapees.

The recently established Jean Grey's School of Higher Education has vanished from its premises. Eyewitnesses have seen a an explosion coming from inside the school just before the school dissapeared along with its staffs and students. The local police have so far determined that the Broterhhood of Mutants might the prime suspect, given their recent attacks on the New Avengers and their ongoing history with the X-Men. SHIELD and police representatives did not make any further comments.

At a restaurant near the Yankee Stadium, The Bronx, there has been reports of a shootout by what eyewitnesses claimed to be several anti-mutant factions. so far, there is an estimate of 5 killed and 3 injured from the incident.

[Razzman Khaliff]

Hey Kwang this campaign has ended right? With all that happened last game?

[Kelvin Ganesan]

Oh yeah, I heard about it. Damn... Razzman you bad... Anyway, we will play Alex's PF game this Friday and we can discuss whether you want to continue the Marvel game or start a new one.

Regards,
Kelvin Ganesan

[Razzman Khaliff]

Consider it a preview of the things I would do in a VTM game. :)

[Kelvin Ganesan]

Well, you do seem to be giving into the beast even before anything has started.

Regards,
Kelvin Ganesan

[Kelvin Ganesan]

Ok... I have a problem. I will not be having transport this Friday as my girlfriend will be taking the car. I thought I could go with Alex but he has informed us that he will not be able to attend the game this Friday. So erm... unless Razz you willing to give me a ride from office to the game and back, I do not think I can make it for the game. 

Unless Andrew is still on here and he is willing to give me the bus route to the game. But I would still need a ride home after so....

Regards,
Kelvin Ganesan

[Razzman Khaliff]

I do not mind picking you and sending you back only problem is what are we gonna play?

[Kelvin Ganesan]

Oh shit... yeah... We will need Kwang to post here if he can. Whether he wants to run a game. Sure you don't want to run a Pathfinder game? Or another VTM? 

Damn... perhaps the suggestion to try a new system is not too bad. So at least at any 1 time we have 3 different systems to play with.

Regards,
Kelvin Ganesan

[Razzman Khaliff]

I'm actually willing to run VTM again or Pathfinder for that matter, my players for that Tuesday game have decided to take a whole different narrative than what I intended previously so I can run that original plan with you guys. The only problem is agreeing whether I should run either of these because we have an overlap in both these games. And also we awaiting feedback from the other players.

[Kelvin Ganesan]

Ok. Will message Tai and see. Since he is not replying here. I honestly do not mind playing either game as I am always willing to make new characters. 

Regards,
Kelvin Ganesan

[Tai Kwang]

Em..excuse me? what did i missed? Do recall on what happened in the previous session,

[Kelvin Ganesan]

Apparently, Razz informed us that you ended the campaign due to his rather evil actions. Is this true? Cause Alex, is not able to attend the sessions this Friday. So we were wondering on what we should do as he was supposed to run his PF game.

Regards,
Kelvin Ganesan

[Tai Kwang]

sigh...

Did I mentioned about ending it yet? I dont think so...Though I have been busy with my job recently..And no, I wont be around this Friday.

[Tai Kwang]

The story arc's still going on...

[Razzman Khaliff]

Well I heard you say "Unfortunately, I'm going to have to end the campaign here" when you ended the session. Maybe you misspoke.

[Kelvin Ganesan]

Maybe he meant end the session. Not the whole campaign. But guess no game this week then. Since will only be the 2 of us. The next one will be my VTM campaign on 08.08.2014 as most won't be around next Friday, 01.08.2014. I will post on my Vampire thread when the time comes. 

On the bright side, we can continue with the Marvel campaign so we do not need to worry about what game to play then.

Regards,
Kelvin Ganesan

[Razzman Khaliff]

Yeah but I swear I heard he said campaign. Oh well nevermind, I dunno how we are gonna string Amon into the story now that we've joined the Brotherhood.

[Razzman Khaliff]

Okay so Alex is out and Kwang is out, so I guess no game? Since it's only the 2 of us?

[Kelvin Ganesan]

Yeah. Guess we will have our next game on 8th August.

Regards,
Kelvin Ganesan

[Tai Kwang]

That was due to the timing. and when I mean session, I mean for the day..not he whole campaign

[Tai Kwang]

Mind your English

[Kelvin Ganesan]

Alright. Cool. Now I get to hunt down the rogue mutant that has gone bad and give him a big serving of Justice and Freedom!

Regards,
Kelvin Ganesan

[Razzman Khaliff]

What? Me? I'm not the enemy. I stand for mutants everywhere, man. I'm on the side that espouses justice and freedom... For Mutantkind everywhere! Join us! Become a bro! In the Brotherhood of mutants! It's between us and them, man. They want us gone and we should fight back. C'mon join us, brother...

[Kelvin Ganesan]

Join you!? Never! You have stained your hands with the blood of innocence! How can you claim to stand for justice and freedom when you so blatantly take the lives of others for your cause. Those people had wives, husbands, children, mothers and fathers. Shame on you...

Wait a minute. Does my character even know all this seeing as it just happened last session? Where was I? I am assuming the usual, "You're not there, you're getting drunk" routine.

Regards,
Kelvin Ganesan

[Razzman Khaliff]

What? Me? I'm not the enemy. I stand for mutants everywhere, man. I'm on the side that espouses justice and freedom... For Mutantkind everywhere! Join us! Become a bro! In the Brotherhood of mutants! It's between us and them, man. They want us gone and we should fight back. C'mon join us!

[Tai Kwang]

So..for tomorrow...whose campaign is it?

[Tai Kwang]

By the way, think I left my sachet of dice at my friend's house. Wanna play boardgames instead?

[Razzman Khaliff]

No, you are wrong. They were not innocent, they were part of the purifiers, human scum determined to wipe mutantkind out. They have long persecuted mutants and it's time we responded in kind. We are afterall the superior species and we must take our place at the top. The humans... They don't understand, they only see us as a threat. Come, join us brother take your place among us and exact your revenge upon the mutant hating humans.

Although... Actually Amon wasn't there for this whole thing. He was on some SHIELD mission the whole time. What with the school disappearing from existence and our flimsy plan to infiltrate the brotherhood to find out where Logan went, ended with us joining the Brotherhood in earnest. Oh what fun...

[Razzman Khaliff]

I should be back by tomorrow. I'm heading back to KL tonight so should be available for gaming.

[Razzman Khaliff]

Also are we watching Guardians of the Galaxy?

[Alex Ng]

When and where do you guys play Marvels?

Thank you for your time and consideration.

[Kelvin Ganesan]

Oh, I thought we had no game tomorrow. Already made plans to head back to Seremban tomorrow. Traffic should be good. For a change. Next week I will be running my game so the following week will be this game.

Guardians of the Galaxy I thought we should wait for Alex since he will definitely would want to watch it as well. So I was thinking next week. We can go earlier or after the game.

Regards,
Kelvin Ganesan

[Razzman Khaliff]

Alright, affirmative. Next week then.

[Tai Kwang]

Right...that's a relief...waiting for me friend to help find my satchet

[Tai Kwang]

Sorry, haven't found my dice, but the session will still continue tomorrow. Are you guys okay?

Still figuring things out.

******************************

Good evening. This is Samonlina Chung, Daily 25 Evening News. For today’s highlights, groups of mutant support group have set up a strike in front of Westchester’s Jean Grey’s School of Higher Education demanding for answers over its disappearance. Several parents of the their mutant children have expressed their dissatisfaction over the slow response from SHIELD investigations and have accused them of being biased. Currently SHIELD representatives have yet to provide any comments over the matter.

Meanwhile, several public attacks occurred at several locations around Westchester which was suspected to be coordinated by known anti-mutant group the Purifiers. The body count of the target mutant civilians are yet to be confirmed, though a few SHIELD agents have apprehended some of them. SHIELD has commented on looking into thei matter.

This morning, reports of several buildings in the Bronx area have been burnt down. Eye-witnesses have stated the presence of mutants within the area during the attacks. The number of deceased are yet to be confirmed but sources have confirmed anti-mutant weaponry within these areas. Currently, the authorities have yet commented on the possibility of an escalated war involving mutants.

[Omnitricks]

So its marvel today yes? I'll bring my new character then but I forget, Mutants get two power sets right?

...

[Tai Kwang]

Reminder, Marvel session is today...

So far, the current player rosters:

Kelvin as Amon, the firebending mutant working for SHIELD; partially anti-social.

Razzman as ChillZone, a ice wielding mutant, whose loyalties to the Xmen and Brotherhood is still in question.

Alex as a Binder, an arcanist who conjures 3 imps of specific professions, with one still kidnapped; currently mistaken as a fellow mutant.

[Tai Kwang]

Sorry for the late replies...

Here's the past news...will later put in the the previous session's.

20^th Feb, NOW Era

Good evening. This is Samonlina Chung, Daily 25 Evening News. For today’s highlights, Spider fugitive known as Carnage has been spotted in GermanyTown, Philadelphia. In response to this, both the local police and a group of teenage superheroes of what appear to be led by Speedball: a former member of the New Warriors and was notorious for the cause of the previous civil war. The group was last seen pursuing Carnage towards the southern borders of the district and were last seen since.

In other news, SHIELD representatives have spoken their attention to dealing with the recent massacres of mutants across the New York and the northern borders of the States. Director Hill has called into a meeting to put into plan a solution to this matter, which has arisen since the disappearance of the Jean Grey’s School of Higher Education. So far, they intend to announce their plans within the next few days.

-----------------------------------

 

On the lighter side, an unsuccessful terror attack has occurred in a Postest shopping complex branch south part of the Bronx. So far, the no civilian deaths were reported and the only casualties were of SHIELD members who were attempting to resolve the situation: including what appears to be a fire-wielding mutant in SHIELD uniform. From accounts from eyewitnesses, the attack seemed to be a one-man assault, though the purpose of the attack is yet to be announced.

Also near the Bronx, the HQ building of Nomadic Electronics has been raided by mutants of the Brotherhood of Mutants. Nomadic Electronics has been known to be one of the minor electronic products and service providers for the military and SHIELD. Eyewitnesses have reported sightings of Iceman, a frost-wielding mutant and one of the older students of the X-Men. What was reported to have been taken consist of electronic components to some of SHIELD’s standard firearms and transport vehicles. SHIELD representatives and Nomadic security are collaborating to deal with this particular group of mutant terrorists.

More to come after these commercials.

[Tai Kwang]

21st Feb, NOW Era

 

Good evening. This is Samonlina Chung, Daily 25 Evening News. For today’s highlights, SHIELD representatives have announced their plan to ‘rescue’ known mutants and place them under the Mutant Protection ACT ‘MPA’. SHIELD has sent transport ships to recover the mutant population and have notified the local authorities to assist in the transfer of the local mutants.

In other news, the perpetrator of the recent Postest Mall attack has been identified as a freelance bounty hunter, known as the Devastator. It has reported in the morning that the bounty hunter has been apprehended by the SHIELD mutant hero, Amon. Devastator is one of the first to be classified as one of the apprehended mutant terrorists. SHIELD is looking into questioning his motives of the recent mall attack.

Meanwhile, several mutants civilian have been detained in their attempts to reject the MPA movement, accusing SHIELD of forced imprisonment. It is believed that the attacks on several companies that have supported SHIELD like the previous Nomadic Electronics may have ties to the recent uprising. Investigators have concluded, based on the security footage, that survivors of the Jean Grey’s School of Higher Eduction, may have been involved in this heist and has stated the possibility of them being in league with the Brotherhood of Mutants. SHIELD forces are working to apprehend the suspects.

 

At City Hall, New York, Mayor  J.J. Jameson has announced the deployment of Alchemax’s Spider Slayers unit to assist in the hunt for alien-symbiote fugitive Carnage. Mayor Jameson has also announced a call to meet and liaison with the re-established New Warriors in the capture of Carnage.

Alchemax CEO, Liz Allan, has reported death threats by the unnamed Brotherhood of Mutants for providing some of their technologies to SHIELD. SHIELD's representative security members have been dispatched to deal with this possible threat.

Overseas, the undead outbreak in Guangdong, China has resided thanks to the cooperation of the Iron Patriot and SPEAR, which is the Chinese equivalent to SHIELD. However, the undead outbreak has leaked into the cities southern neighbouring towns. Iron Patriot and SPEAR are working to contain the spread, and representatives have confirmed that the virus is spread through physical contact with any of the host’s body fluids.

More on the Business News right after this commercial.

Bring it on, Flame Boy!

[Kelvin Ganesan]

Firstly, I think we all agree that KFC Jalan University is not a very good place to have our regular gaming sessions. Aside from the food, which I do not feel that I can eat on a regular basis every Friday, the place is pretty noisy, parking is difficult and not many power outlets around. Worse is that the direction of the traffic in front is heading towards the Federal Highway and the jam was terrible. It lasted up to 11pm. The tables were pretty small too, though it was not much of a problem for us as we don't use grids these days.Also, no wifi and no free refills.

So this Friday, 24.10.2014, we will be trying out Jaya One yes? It was suggested by Kwang and it does seem like a good place to try. He did suggest SS2 Mall but after some checking we found out the place closes at 10 pm so it is not a really good place to play as I can only get off work at 6 pm and will usually only reach around 7 pm to 8 pm.

Also, I have talked to Amran and he says that if we find a new place nearby he would be more willing to come for games on Friday. He said that he hates Sunway Giza and that is why he does not come for Friday games. I did tell him about Papa's Cafe in Tropicana and he seemed ok with it.

Ok moving on to matters regarding the game. I know we have discussed this in the past, regarding the Marvel Heroic System and how I said that I felt that it was a one time thing. I said that I did not feel that it was good for a long term game and that once we finished with it we can move on to something else.

I would now like to retract my previous statements made. I think it was made rather hastily and without properly learning the system or giving it a chance before hand. Now I do see that it is indeed fun and I do not mind playing more games using the system in the future. This is largely in part to Suresh, who helped us understand the system better and me actually finally "acquiring" the book and reading up. I think that in the future, once our current game has ended, we could play other games using this system. Perhaps someone can run an Avatar theme game. I would like to hear what Razzman and Alex have to say about this system as well. Of course we can always try other new systems but again, As my work sometimes finish late at night and I need time between girlfriend and computer games, a new system would be a bit difficult for me to get into as shown in the above instance.

So Razz, Alex, let me know what you guys think. Both on the venue for this Friday, 24.10.2014 and the system.

TL;DR: KFC Jalan University bad for tabletop gaming. Possible new player. Marvel Heroic System is awesome.

Kelvin Ganesan

[Poh Tun Kai]

Hey guys, this thread has been really useful in assessing gaming locations. Ya know what you should do? Start a thread on the Facebook group where we can review cafes and restaurants for gameability (maybe not including paid game cafes since I feel it would be an unfair comparison).

In other discussion, I wholeheartedly agree about using the Marvel Heroic system for an Avatar game. Brent proved it can be done. I can provide some examples if you need, but the system is intuitive enough that I'm sure you can convert bending to the game with ease. The only thing I find awkward about the Marvel Heroic system is the doom pool, and even then I don't really mind it.

[Kelvin Ganesan]

Yes, the system is very interesting in the sense that it plays a lot based on the players imagination. You can do pretty much almost anything, as long as the explanation is plausible and the Watcher is agreeable to it. I am starting to like that more as you can shape the whole battlefield to your advantage based on your actions. Have to always keep in mind that you are a powerful hero and your abilities can cause a lot of damage and destruction as well, instead of always having to target and hit the enemy.

And yes, the Doom pool is a bit weird but as long I get them PPs I am all good.

Kelvin Ganesan

[Razzman Khaliff]

The Marvel system took some getting used to, I'm so used to having pre-determined rulesets and attaching them to my character. I did not like how my first character played but I love my second one it feels right and instinctive. Basically it how good you can bullshit and how you can justify that bullshit to work. It felt really lame until I learned to abuse PPs like mad, basically you wanna pool up the PPs and then spend them like mad in critical rolls. In a way it feels like resource management you wanna keep a reasonable amount of PPs but not have too much that you can't spend them effectively. 

An Avatar themed game would be really cool and with the help of some source material of the campaign world it can be done, marvel is flexible enough to accommodate anything, especially Avatar.

On non game related matters, Amran? really? I highly doubt it. I have no faith in that guy whatsoever. It is a pipe dream that will never come true, he clearly has other priorities.

I'm okay with trying out new venues for this month at least but we ought to button down on a venue by the end of this month.

That is true. Perhaps a vote then? Between you, Alex and Kwang. 

He told me that he is free Fridays and that he hated Sunway Giza. If we do find a new venue that is closer I will let him know and we will see if he comes. I too am like you, skeptical. I will believe his words when I actually see him at the game.

and thanks for the feedback guys...sigh...

I thought we wanted to try Jaya One no? Erm we better confirm a place fast so that there will be no confusion later on. I do not mind Papa as I have not tried it and would like to give it a try firsthand before we decide to vote on a place. So far the only person that has given a definitive answer is Razzman and he is leaning more towards Papa.

Sorry Razz, I will be running VTM only on 7.11.2014 which will be the first Friday of November (following Friday). Hopefully we can confirm a location by then.

I vote for continuing Marvel as like I said before, I would like to learn new systems but would take time for me and I do not have that much time to spare.

Also, Razz, please give me a call or text me so that I can call you to set up a place and time for pickup. I don't think it would be a good idea for you to pick me up from my office so I can try and take the LRT to Alex's office which is nearer to the Federal. But anyway, give me a call and we can discuss it. 

Regards,
Kelvin Ganesan

Okay, I thought the idea was that we were gonna try as many new places and thus why Jaya One. Since it is already late I'm guessing we are going to Papa's cafe again? I'm okay since it's the nearest to my college.

Sorry didn't find the time to check the place this week..

then SS2 Mall next week?
