Assuming it hasn't, may I play? I'm particularly keen on Mr Hyde or Bushwhacker...

Assuming it hasn't, may I play? I'm particularly keen on Mr Hyde. If he's not appropriate, given a few hours I can come up with a few alternates. Sorry for not being prepared, just stumbled across demongg's post on the Atomic Think Tank and thought I'd throw my hat in.
Please?

So has this game gone by the wayside?

NO.
The game is ON!!
I was unavailable for the weekend holiday.
Today the boards have been EXTREMELY slow, but I plan to post the beginning of issue one by this afternoon. (read my next post for "special" instructions)

I would LOVE to see MR. HYDE in the group!!

Welcome gentle WRITERS to the opening issue of "Villainous" the first ever look into the lives, loves and larceny of Marvel's Mighty Minions!
In the first of our THEIV-A-RIFIC issues we shall open in "MEDIA RES", that translates to "in the middle of" for all you knuckle dragger monosyllabic thugs out there! More to the point - this is where the ACTION is!! Lot's of "all-cap" words, a plethora of "explanation points" and a myriad of action verbs!

The kick here folks is that your merry marvelous master of the game, hereafter known as GM, gets a breather from the verbose and wordsmithing... "WHAT?!!?!?" you say!!

Here's the protocol for Issue #0...


Imagine your Villain (the hero of his OWN tale) in the middle of his latest caper... Describe (not too longly) the scene and the plot of your mission.

This should be a mission, a heist, whatever type of crime, etc... created by YOU. Maybe you needed the money, maybe it's payback... whatever - this was YOUR brainchild.

Go hogs wild!
Give'me the flavor text, show off your Villain's powers in your opening scene... Toss out some dialogue to get us familiar with his style. Trash on some poor guards or heroic minions....... The choice is yours!
The only rules for this flavorful setup that YOU'RE creating for yourself are:
- no heroes or other villains... don't incluce any (that's for me to do)
- make the plot attainable for YOUR level of Villain (no taking over the world yet)
- make it in a cool location, memorable... a cool place to fight!!
- you HAVE NOT achieved your goal yet..... you're about too, but not yet.
- In fact, write - RIGHT up to the point when a SUPERHERO will be coming to stop you...
- write the BEGINNING up something like this:

CODENAME: Stilt Man
AKA: Wilbur Day
MISSION: Steal the Pym-Atomizer to sell on the black market
TACTICS: raise up to the saucer level of the outer tower and smash through the glass, creating havok to daze the crowd and guards.
LOCATION: the Spaceneedle in Seattle where it's on display
as we join the scene...

[this would be the 3-6 paragraphs of exciting action opening to my mission, staring Stilt Man!]
Ending in something like:

"...And as the Stilt Man contracted his armored leg to step into the Space Needle tower the elevator made that all familiar "DING" sound as it opened to reveal........."


That should be some opening FUN.
I will then go in and "take control" of the scene you've created.
This won't be a super long set of events.
All your characters WILL be apart from one another in this opening (so no contact between you yet) but you WILL be describing the events that lead up to the OFFER that will extend to roll into ISSUE #1!

Questions??
I'll post the beginning story thread by 6pm tonight (Tuesday) then you can begin posting the MEDIA RES openings tonight!!

So be thinking about how YOU want the "world" to be introduced to your Super Villain. Picture it as the first 1-3 splash pages in a super hero comic, except it will be focusing on YOU the villain...
THIS is your "screen entrance" for the first time... make it dazzling!!


thanks again for being patient with me... this should be awesome fun.
Expect me to reply lots in the beginning to set you up and then approximately once every three days thereafter.
cool?

I'll post the ISSUE #0 thread link here later today.
thanks

I was thinking of that. You wanted us to have some alternate, and I may have found one, but I am not sure.

As I am mostly familiar with the Ultimate Universe, there is that guy that appear twice in Ultimate Spiderman that is a low thief with two sonic weapon. His a$$ is kicked by Spiderman in a few second each time. That's would really define as a C-Class villain. BUT, I think that guy is reffering to the schocker in the normal Marvel Universe. I don't know much of him, but some said he was not that much a C-class...

So, I dunno if he can be on my alternate list.

Yeah, Shocker, and he's definitely a C-Tier Mook Villain. His biggest stint was as a member of the Masters of Evil (3rd incarnation, I believe).

And, remember, this game's set in the Mainstream MU, not the Ultimate one (a good thing, IMO, since I personally lke the Mainstream MU far better than the Ult MU.)

Yeah, I know, it is for that reason I was asking if he really was a C-villain. My villain will have a taint of Ultimate Universe, which doesn't mean they won't fit. But if I need to build the Shockers, I'll take alook on internet too to see what background I can find on them.

ARG!
Darn my feeble brain!!

You're right PL9... oops...

I may also not get to post that story thread until tonight. It WILL be done by the end of today though. Work blows...
