It should be one of those rad 1930's fishbowl helmets. You both fail.

destroyah87

?

Sakutian

More like this.

Solar

Fuck yes Mystery in Space

I honestly considered playing a teenage Captain Comet for this game

destroyah87

Like this?

I think it would look better like this.

Also, Sak. Unless a 1 is always a miss in the rules. 15 beats my dodge with my Shield power active.

Sakutian

I like the Red Hood as well but you get the idea. Mystery in Space is more my thing though.

Jesus Solar I didn't think anyone else even knew who Captain Comet was anymore.

Yeah 1 is always a miss. Becaue rolling a one is a shameful thing.

Solar

Hey, I bought those Jim Starlin Mystery in Space issues that were published a few years back

They were great! I love Captain Comet and the Weird. Shame that there was only two volumes, though I did hear that he was in something alongside Adam Strange and maybe Vril Dox?

Sakutian

His death in 52 was horrifying. I mean there were a lot of isses with that series but that was just way, way over the top for me.

Solar

I haven't read that scene, even though Mystery in Space leads on from it

I have heard that it is notoriously brutal, though

Sakutian

Yeah. I admit I'm a bit old fashioned when it comes to comic book violence which is why I'm often turned off by a lot of modern books but...

Spoiler:

...skinning Captain Comet and mounting him on a spaceship? Yuck.

destroyah87

So are there exterior windows in this room?

Either way, what would be involved in taking Overthrow in a flying tackle?

Otherwise. Jaime would put Ted between himself and Overthrow.

Sakutian

Well there is a window in the hallway outside of the lab. So a flyng tackle to take him though the glass is possible. I'm going to say all you need is a basic melee attack in this instance.

ArcanisTheImpotent

wait, you want to put ted in between you and the villain? that doesn't seem like a good idea for a hostage

ArcanisTheImpotent

also i liked that you transitioned into calling him overlord for a couple posts

Sakutian

Thanks for keeping me grounded Arc.

ArcanisTheImpotent

no problem sweetheart

ArcanisTheImpotent

i was ribbing destro actually because he did it first

Sakutian

Well I went back and edited out my mistakes. Destroyah is on his own.

ArcanisTheImpotent

masterfully done sir

Sakutian

By the way, Overthrow is some random comic goodness Destroyah. I said it earlier but it is worth repeating as far as I'm concerned.

SUPERMAN

Many years before Superman became Metropolis’ favorite son and guardian there was Krypton, a civilization of enlightened beings who thrived on science and exploration. Jor-El, leader of the Guild of Science Knowledge, prophesied a great cataclysm that threatened to tear the planet in half within a year. Jor-El’s ideas were rejected out of hand and he was discredited, his career in shambles. This did not dissuade him however, and with the help of his wife Lara he managed to construct a space vessel capable of reaching a planet that would not only ensure his family’s safety but also enhance them.

His theories were correct save for one small error. The destruction of Krypton arrived nearly a year early.

With only an untested prototype of his rocket Jor-El made his final decision, his noblest act: he and Lana would perish with Krypton so their son could live.

Three days later a UFO crashed in the fields of a small farm in America’s heartland and two days after that Jonathan and Martha Kent adopted a baby boy and named him Clark.

As Clark grew so did his abilities, and with them the realization came that he was unlike anyone else on Earth. After he graduated high school he went on to college, completing a degree in journalism in two and a half years, and by the end of the third year he was covering stories around the world and quietly using his powers to protect others. Coming to grips with the idea that he could be more than some guy stopping rockslides in the Alps or breaking up hurricanes in the Pacific he settled in Metropolis, adopting an identity for himself using symbols on the rocket that had borne him to Earth.

It took less than a day for the headline to hit the internet, courtesy of Lois Lane and the Daily Planet:

MYSTERIOUS SUPER MAN SAVES JUMBO JET WITH BARE HANDS

also just because it's kind of hard to keep track of sometimes:

DAMAGE

Success: The damage has no effect.

Failure (one degree): The target has a –1 circumstance penalty to further resistance checks against damage. [failed by 5 or less]

Failure (two degrees): The target is dazed until the end of their next turn and has a -1 circumstance penalty to further checks against damage. [failed by 6 - 10]

Failure (three degrees): The target is staggered and has a -1 circumstance penalty to further checks against damage. If the target is staggered again (three degrees of failure on a Damage resistance check), apply the fourth degree of effect. The staggered condition remains until the target recovers. [failed by 11 - 15]

Failure (four degrees): The target is incapacitated [failed by 16 and up]

Sakutian

Did I screw something up again?

I love your Supeman bio Arc. You captured 90% of my favorite parts of the character in that piece.

ArcanisTheImpotent

nope destro was just listing his saves as one degree lower than they should be

destroyah87

Probably the 'overlord' thing came from my ipad's overzealous autocorrect.

I go fix in a bit.
edit: es fixed.

And yes it was in a post I crafted while using my ipad.

Sakutian

Spermn is so great who made rescuing a crashing airplane the single most iconic thing any supehero can do. Ever.

Horseshoe

i don't have my book out for reference right now and am a bit short on time

what distance is rank 5?

destroyah87

900 ft or 250 meters.

Sak, I read your shortening if Superman as sperm. I hope that was your intention.

Horseshoe

sweet

okay so

supernova is going to make use of his phantom zone projector again... but like, the intended way this time

at rank 5 with extended mass teleport attack he can transport the entire car with the thing bolted onto it

about 90 stories straight up

he will be teleporting himself as a move action to follow it so he can grab it and chuck it next round

i'm picturing *bamf* car appears high above building then *bamf* supernova appears underneath it and catches it kinda thing

destroyah87

That's a pretty cool plan.

And a cool image.

Man I need to get my pdf of the rulebook loaded on my ipad and/or phone. It'd save time for looking up a rule.
As is, I remote-login to my home PC and pull it up that way. Works fast-ish. but not as easily viewable as having the file directly on the devices.

Sometimes I get floored by everything we can do with tech that wasn't possible even 10 years ago. And that's just recreational use. I sure would like my holodeck now k thanx.

Sakutian

I concur with Destroyah, that is a pretty cool way to deal with the situation Horseshoe.

ArcanisTheImpotent

SO IT IS DONE

Sakutian

What's done? Did I miss something exciting?

destroyah87

SO SAY WE ALL!

Horseshoe

i am unbelievably stressed out right now saks

if you could just roll that action of mine into your narrative and let me catch up tomorrow or on the weekend

i think it would be for the best

ArcanisTheImpotent

hope your transition is going smooth

Sakutian

Yeah sure, I can take of that for you Horseshoe. Sorry to hear that you are so stressed out. I'll try and give you the chance to do something as awesome as pop an elevator a few dozen stories into the air and catch it again in the near future. Again that is a masterful idea. Hope your stress goes away quickly.

Apologies for the delay folks. I had back to back double shifts.

ArcanisTheImpotent

no problem man, i am having quite a busy work week myself

Sakutian

Regardless, our adventures resume in the morning. After I sleep for all of three hours.
