Ok, there has been one approval, 2 others are still pending.
Also, the timeline thread
has been updated. Not much, but it's a start. The events leading up to
the first mission will evenualy be added as well for continuity.
Coments on the formating and thread are welcome here.

I
need some help with my one thing that is kinda iffy about my character.
I have Boost as one of my APs for Life Control. Boost is a rather
controversial power as it can be quite broken (even though I've never
played I can see that one right off the bat). What I'd like help with
is suggestions on how to create a Boost power at I think it was 72
points without being cheezy or brokun. So no 5pp/rank base power and I
guess no 10 ranks of boosting all skills for everyone within 50ft for
50 rounds.
Note: here is what I currently have:
Boost 10 [Trait, Dynamic](7 PP/Rank + 2 PP = 72 PP, 2 PP Net)
BA: Narrow Group of Traits (all skills) (3)
PF: Slow Fade 1 (1)
PF: Affects Insubstantial (1)
EX: Total Fade (+1)
EX: Area (Selective - 1sq/rank) (+1)
EX: Range 2 (Perception) (+2)

Well, glad you understood my concerns
That's 10 points, not 10 ranks by the way, so it would max out every skill at 15.
Boost is hard to balance, and what needs to be balanced is what it
does, as well as why. What are you doing with the boost, which can be
just as important in the Power Cheese vs RP Balanced issue.
Overall, for a 72 point power, it's not bad, BUT it's effectively a 1
point alternate power, so you take 1 round, boost, and never worry
about it again for 5 minutes. That's why it can be cheap.

Meh,
I kinda hate the concept of Boosting skills, unless it can be described
real well. Plus skills are so cheap that many PP pumped into them is
crazy.
What exactly is the descriptor of the Boosting? Life Control?
Well Boosting physical stats seems reasonable for the descriptor.

All physical stats is significantly less scary than all skills, at least to me.
Mostly because it doesn't let some random person sudently become able
to do brain surgery (No, I'm not a doctor, but I did stay at a Holliday
Inn Express last night). the mods to saves will max out at the power
level, Strength doesn't help with damage in most cases, and again can
max out, and honestly, it seems like it effects less that way.
Other things to add:
Just because you have 72 points to spend, doesn't mean you HAVE to.
Nothing wrong with droping the power a bit to get it in line with what
you were aiming for.

One thing you can do, is to buy two powers that have a sum of 72, and
both power can be use at the same time. It is one thing that can be
done with Alternate Power. If you want to see an exemple, look at the
Magicien template at the start of the book. He can use either Astral
Form or Flight and Force Field.

Hmm
lots of interesting ideas. Yes I agree that physical stats make the
most sense both based on the base power and the character. So working
it up how does this sound?
Boost 10 [Trait, Dynamic](7 PP/Rank + 1 PP = 71 PP, 2 PP Net)
BA: Narrow Group of Traits (all physical stats) (3)
PF: Slow Fade 1 (1)
EX: Total Fade (+1)
EX: Action - Move Action (+1)
EX: Range 2 (Perception) (+2)
All his APs are dynamic so generally he wont be using them all full
tilt but rather combining them as necessary on the fly. So if one of
his friends is hurt he'll heal them what they need with Healing and
give them a little Boost too.

So,
at full tilt, you boost all physical stats of a single person by 10
points (AKA +10 to each stat, or a +5 mod) for I believe 20 rounds with
no fade? (I'm not looking at the book at the moment).

Actually
I think the boost lasts longer than that. If I read it right it is
normally 1rd/rank (normally fading at 1 point per round, but not with
total fade). So thats 10 rounds at full power. With slow fade it bumps
it up on the progression table to 5 minutes (with the 1 extra point I
could bump it up one more time to 20 minutes and finish out my 72
points).

Ok, can using a Hero Point for a Heroic Feat be used to aquire an alternate power feat? I'm realy not sure about that.
Note, it is for 1 round though.
I'm looking for an open discussion.

I say "Of course it can! If the GM allows and it Makes Sense"
Using "Power Stunts" is a staple of Comic-dom.
Occasionally you'll see Human Torch use his Flame to create "Thermal
Updrafts" aka Slow Fall with an Area Effect. Or Ice Man draw the
moisture out of a person (Fatigue) or a hero sometimes displays a "One
Shot" use of his Powers and never does again (as when Professor X used
telekinisis!)

Correct.
Dynamic Alternate Powers cost two ranks - does this would mean you
cannot use a hero point to get a Dynamic AP, only a normal AP?
Also correct.
What about extra effort power stunts?
The way I handle it is: if a player wants to use extra effort for a
power stunt and spend a hero point to emulate the second Alternate
Power rank needed to make it dynamic (rather than spending the hero
point to shrug off the fatigue), then they can do a dynamic power stunt.
|
The answer is, RAW, yes. You can spend a HP to have your Alternate
power for one round. If you read the power stunt in the extra effort
section, it explicitly tell you can gain an AP with the extra effort
rule. You can even gain a dynamic AP if you apply both, as Steve tell
it above.
But the master would have the last call in any situation. I don't see
how you can gain Healing as an AP of Alternate Form(Solid)...

Has
anyone ever bought a PDF of a manual before? Does it have everything in
the hardcover book including pictures. Do you get it on disk? Are there
any sharing limitations (password, etc.). I would like to play,but $39
is pretty pricey for the book.
PS i have a character with background and concept (no hard numbers). Is it too soon to post him to the character thread?

Its worth it, but if your strapped for cash, then yea, PDFs are a
viable alternative. They contain everything in the book pictures
included, with the same formating. Good PDFs have bookmarks so that you
can jump quickly to the different chapters/topics... bad pdfs are
considerably worse, and can be very dependent on your computer. The
Shadow Run 4E pdf does have all of the book marks, but the way it was
done causes pretty horrific lag as you scroll up and down the page
because it was put together so that each page has something like 7
layers. It just depends on the people who did the pdf.
I'm personally looking forward to picking up a pdf of the Mastermind
Manual when it comes out at the end of the month. I like the format for
my needs since I commute to school and lugging books around is a pain
vs having it on a jump drive that I can read in the computer labs and
at home.

Actualy,
as an owner of the PDF (I bought it while waiting for my book), I find
I use the PDF more, though I don't do much FtF gaming with M&M 2.0
at the moment.
The PDF is put togeather quite well, my only complaint being how they
bookmarked the powers section (It forces you back to fit to height, I
prefer fit to width). It's only an issue with that section, but that's
enough of a bother...

Do you download it or do they send it to you on disk? I'm assuming its a download.

Download.
Most companies put it into something like a bookshelf and you are
allowed to download back up copies in case something happens. Others
limit you to 5 downloads total.

What
about pre-made modules. Any on PDF in MM2e? Has anyone played the ones
that are out there (if there is such a thing). I really haven't found
anything like that yet.

There
aren't any modules for 2E yet, at least by Green Ronin. The only Module
for 1E be Green Ronin was Time of Crisis, but it hasn't been converted.
You might have some luck with Super-link products which are licensed by
Green Ronin and made by 3rd party publishers. I think something like
90% of them are PDF.

What
kinds of adventures are the players looking to get involved with? Seems
like there are two kinds: villians do something big and stupid and
getting confronted by a team of heroes, or more smalltime character
driven investigation plots (ie batman or daredevil). Maybe some folks
could chime in on the types of adventures they want to see.
BTW no luck with the superlink so far most seem to be source books and none explicitly say 2e

Well,
After being home sick the last two days I decided to buy the PDF. Now
the problem is getting it downloaded over my really slow connection. I
got to 88% last time before getting bumped off. Was H4H still planning
on Gming a game? This is the only manual you would need to GM a game,
right? the only time I've ever rp'ed in this genre was with the old
Marvel game. I remember we didn't get very far. In terms of adventures
I would be willing to try anything.

I
haven't seen an adventure proposal come out yet. However, i'd probably
try to ignore the first one hoping the others judges can approve it so
i can get in a game
I know there are 2 still awaiting approval (I need to recheck Toad,
will try to do so tonight), and hopefully more players coming soon.
Once we get 2-3 adventures going, things should pick up.
As for style, well, that's something that will probably come with the
GM. I generaly run a different style of game than most, but I hope
people are having fun

It seems to me like we'll need a Rogue's Gallery thread
at some point to keep all the bad guys stats in one place. How do we go
about getting these guys approved? I've found a lot of great stuff at
the mutants and mastermind's site atomic think tank. Only 3 more hours
for the 2e manual download to be completed (crossing my fingers I don't
get bumped off before it finishes). If worse comes to worse I can
always use our work computer, but I don't like doing that.

Once I get the two games I just started underway and feel comfortable
with my posting on them. I plan on submitting an adventure. This
however may be 4-6 weeks from now.

I got bumped at ~70% this second time. I'm going to break down and do
it at work (I'm heading in at noon pacific after missing the last two
days).
On a positive note I found a source for premade 2e adventures (found here : http://www.atomicthinktank.com/viewtopic.php?t=12592
). Most seem to amount to short vignettes, but I would be willing to
try to GM one as long as the players were willing to bear with me. I
downloaded one for FREE and will want to try it first. It is basically
a prequel to a longer adventure so if everyone has fun the company will
have at least one sold. How are we handling pregenerated characters and
scenarios. Is it alright to use them outright? Do we need to slightly
change them to be kosher? Not sure if I'm being paranoid, but I thought
I'd ask first. This adventure will likely introduce a major mastermind
type villain to the LS world so it might be nice to tweak him a little
to make him more endemic to LS.
I would hope to be able to start the run in a week or so. That would
take some pressure of H4H, but of course I would like for my character
to get some run (hopefully submitted after this weekend  )

Eureka! Download complete
Sorry for posting two in a row-what can I say, I'm just enthusiastic
Finally got 2e downloaded. It took less than five minutes at work.
Looks very cool at the surface glance. I'm kind of bummed about Luck
Control. It seems really weak for the cost, and is the main item in my
character concept, Gremlin.
I was wondering if anyone had any ideas for making this a little more
fun to play. I saw something on alternate powers in the Atomic Think
Tank (I believe H4H posted to it, there can only be so many heroes from
the 'Cuse). I'll need to read through that section better, but if
anyone has any ideas I would much appreciate it. If I use the alternate
power do I still have to burn a HP every time I use it?

Try Probability control, which was approved. I think I still need to put it in the approved content.

I think Luck control will work just as good. I'm still having problems
with statting up this power (how do alternate powers count against
PP?). I really don't want it to be that powerful. I have 20 PP to spend
on it so that (too powerful) shouldn't be a problem. I want Luck
Control for my Primary Power with no ability to do anything but cause
the re-roll and take the worse of the two two scores (maybe reduce some
points for this limitation). Then I want either Blast or Nullify that
is limited to affecting only mechanical devices. Here I'm thinking
about simple things: goon's guns jam, the brakes fail on a vehicle, a
comlink goes on the fritz. As I earn more PP I would make it stronger
so that can do more things (perhaps affecting powers of armored
characters). Anyone out there have any help with that? Once I get that
and the combat section done, I'll be able to submit my character. I
haven't had any luck scrounging help on Atomic Think Tank.
BTW: I'm still willing to give a shot at running a short premade
module. It will probably take me a bit to ajudicate the action, but
that's the beauty of trying this pbp. Who do I send the module to for
approval?

Syracuse has had many heroes..But I am the only one for Hire
No you wouldnt have to Burn an HP to use Alternate Powers built from Luck Control
One could even have the Suggested Probablity Control be an AP of Luck Control!

H4H-
Been enjoying your thread
on ATT. I was wondering if you could give me a little how-to spiel on
how PP are spent on your primary power and alternate powers. If you
take the alternate power feat do you get the alternate power for "free".
On a different note: how are points doled out for combat? I'll use your
Adam-X build for an example. He has the following stats:COMBAT: Base
Attack +6, Unarmed (Attack +9 DC 23 Bruise), Sword/Ax/Spear (Attack +9
DC 26 Lethal), Shuriken (Attack +14 DC 16 Lethal Autofire 1) Defense 23
(13 flat-footed) Init +22
but it says you spent 24 points building him. Which attributes did you
spend the points on and which ones got beefed up by other feats,etc.

Premature post I finished it with an edit (see below). I have questions if you have answers.
You're not quite up there with MDSnowman or the Baron (those guys are
insane, I meant in quantity), but they've been very cool. I've been
learning a lot about the game by reading through their combats. You
going to do any of those?

That pretty simple. If you buy an Alternate Power Feat, you can by power(s) up to the same cost of the main power, excluding
the PP spend on Alternate Power Feat. You can by any amount of
Alternate Power feat, but all power are excluded from one another
(except the ones bought with the same AP point).
An example. If you look at the Mystic archtype in the first section of the book (you can have the pdf of the first chapiter on the official M&M website). So, if you look at it, you see she has bought:
Astral Form 6 (Alternate Power: Flight 3 and Force Field [Extra: Impervious] 12)
Magic 12 (six power feat)
Super-Sense 4
So...
Astral Form 6 Cost 30 PP + 1 PP for Alternate power
Flight cost 6 PP
Force Field [Extra: Impervious] 12 cost 24 PP
As Flight and Force Field have been taken as an AP, she can use either Astral Form, or Flight and
Force field. But she couldn't use Astral Form and Forcefield at once.
The cost of Force Field (24 PP) + Flight (6 PP) = Astral Form (30 PP)
Magic 12 (six power feat) cost 24 PP + 5 PP for the power feat (The
first power feat is coming as free with Magic, as told in the first
paragraph).
The Mystic will be able to use 6 spells, but no more than 1 will be able to be in effect at a time. Note to this, a power like Snare have an Instant
duration. So if someone have been snared, you can still cast after even
if the snare is still there. But you wouldn't be able to use your snare
power while shapeshifted, as Shapeshift have a duration of Sustain, and while sustaining a spell, you cannot cast another one.
You can also buy a Dynamic Alternate Power at 2 PP. In teh case of the
Mystic, let's say she has bought Dynamic Alternate Power for her Magic,
that mean she could use her shapeshift spell with her snare, but both
spell will have to run at lower power. So she could divide her 24 PP
between the two power. So instead of having Shapeshift 3 and Snare 12,
she could use at the same time Shapeshift 1 and Snare 8 (8 + 16 = 24).
I hope I have been clear for the Alternate Power Feat
