Living Supers - General Discussion Thread

[Hand of Vecna]

Since Density = Mass / Volume , they'd be manipulating the mas and/or volume of the liquid at any given time. Nasty.



I just had a Mad Scientist moment I'd like to share: Archeville's newest creation, a Mutant-power mimicking android.
It's name: A.M.A.Z.O. -- Archeville's Multiform-Assimilating Zeitgeist Omnidroid
Zeitgesit is a German word that roughly means "the spirit of the age/times," referring to the ethos of a select group of people that express a particular world view which is prevalent at a particular period of socio-cultural progression. Like the worldview of "people with superpowers should use those for the betterment of others" shared by most superheroes operating in the current era.

(Whether or not I ever actually use that, either as a Minion for Archeville or as a secondary PC, is very much up in the air.)

I've always loved the term zeitgeist. It's right up their with schadenfreude. Actually, it'd make a cool name all on its lonesome for someone/something with time-related powers... Double kudos for the ability to turn incorporeal too!

Updated some of these. Putting it here for a reminder to do more.

Now that Stolen University is done, will there be any other new games? I'd like to get one of my characters in to play. I'd understand if Raylis wants to take a break, but maybe one of the players from that teamwants to take a shot.

 

[Hand of Vecna]

Maybe you coud get your character in on an ongoing game? I think Raylis's Tokyo game's lost several players, they might could use the added support.

 

[Salix]

Tokyo is the only active game that is an option since I'm either GMing or Judging the other ones. I can always be patient though.

I couldn't find the details for GM credits.
Archive - Game Master Rewards

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

In order to encourage Game Masters...


Upon the successful completion of a mission, a Game Master will be awarded a number of GM Credits equal to the number of months he ran the game (Rounded up in most cases). These Credits can be spent in the following ways:

-2 Credits can be spent to earn 1 Power Point on a character. This can only be spent when you could otherwise spend Power Points (Between Missions, or durring a mission when you are given some PP awards).

-1 Credit can be spent to give you 2 Hero Points on your current mission.

Credits for missions are awarded or not awarded by the Judge as follows:
-Mission completed - Credits awarded.
-Mission was extremely slow or paused for a significant time - Time may be deducted from the credit award, Judge makes final decision.
-Mission was canceled with no warning (GM went absent without telling anyone) - No credit
-Mission was canceled with warning, or turned over to another GM - Credit for months run awarded once mission is completed.
-Mission was canceled due to player loss - Full credits awarded.
-Mission was canceled for other reasons - As ruled by the Judge.

Basicly, if you keep your mission running, you're good to go. If you need to drop, please give the judge/players some warning, and we can try to hand off the mission to another GM/Judge.

Toyko could use some more...was thrown for a loop when we lost all but 1 of the heavy hitters, but I think I have everything worked out plotwise to make it go smoothy now.

Since SU is finished I could GM another

Does Tokyo need more players? I have Sierra sitting around, and she has an alt that lets her act as a heavy hitter quite well as long as she is touching the ground (though persuasion is her main specialty).

Also, Ionian Dreams and a lot of my other games will be starting back into full gear again now that my thesis is done!

Thanks for the link, Salix.
