Piratecat Comics & MnM presents six issues of Code-4: Reunion (updated 4/06)

[KidCthulhu]

It's the character itself that provides the unique feel to each game and the DM who adds/allows an interesting twist. Nolin would be an example of both. So would that short gnome thingy, what's his name?

Further proof of my theory that if you wisecrack a lot, and have lots of character personality, no one notices that you're not optimized and there are a few skill points hanging out here or there. At least in our groups. Which is why I play with them!

That, and you went boom when you died.

That, and you went boom when you died.

Actually, it was more of a "burpphh-ooph" if I recall.

 

[Gryff]

You seem to have taken to it like the proverbial duck to water.

Good ol' PC has an advantage in this genre, something to do with a close involvement in Freedom Force and it's sequels.

Bow Down Before The Lord Of All Rat Bastards.

This is how scary Piratecat is.

Just in case this is a spoiler... I don't think it gives much away but it is from last night, so if you don't want to see it in advance, don't click.

So last night Code-4 gets a tour of our new HQ. We check out our new vehicle, the weight room, the lab... We're about to leave, somebody says, "We really should play in our Danger Room. We have a Danger Room, right?"

PC: "Yeah, you do."

Team: "Great! Let's try it out!"

Dr. Arkham (me): "I'll stay out here and work the controls. You heroes go inside and get ready."

PC: "Ok. What are you going to set them up against?"

Dr. Arkham: [thinking I am so terribly clever] "I pull up the old file of Black Apollo."

Black Apollo, of course, is the supervillain who devastated the group in our backstory; ultimately he was defeated-- killed dead in fact-- but he was bad news for Code-4.

PC: "Black Apollo. Okay. He appears in the Danger Room, flying in the air over here. He shouts to you... blah blah blah blah."

And Kevin grabs his notes and reads off a big long prepared soliloquoy from Black Apollo.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying Kevin shuffled through his notes to find some soliloquoy he'd prepared in case we ever met Black Apollo again. That would be scary enough.

I am saying he was prepared for us to call up Black Apollo in the Danger Room.

I don't even want to think about the implications of that.

*bows and scrapes*

Truly, there is no Rat-Bastard like the Piratecat, and shilsen is his prophet!

 

[KidCthulhu]

OK, I was going to keep quiet on this one...

Naaaah, who am I kidding?

The Danger Room was my idea. PC asked me for some plot ideas for the session I was going to miss, and we worked out the Danger Room thing. Black Apollo's appearance was his idea, because he knows the villains. This is why he had it ready. If we hadn't gone in the room, it could just wait for later.

Not that PC isn't a rat bastard, but I don't want y'all getting the idea he walks on water.

 

[Henry]

Yeah, hovering over it godlike as he already does is bad enough.

 

[Steverooo]

...I don't want y'all getting the idea he walks on water.

Humph! Well of COURSE PC walks on water (you two aren't fooling anybody)! Whaddaya think that wooden leg is FOR?

 

[Blood Jester]

Yeah, hovering over it godlike as he already does is bad enough.

And to show you what 'Lambs-to-the-slaughter' some of are, (avoid if you avoided Wulf's)
[sblock]I was sitting there thinking "Hmm, cool scary speach, neat-o." Until Wulf pointed out the above 'How the heck did he know to prepare that'[/sblock]
At which point I felt an ugly chill.
