What happened in your last session?
>>
>>98487386
The party beat up the villain in his secret lair atop the space needle and destroyed his giant roller coaster transformer robot.
I'd like to give more details, but this was about 20 years ago.

My last game sucked. I'll talk about one that I enjoyed.

>Mutants & masterminds 2e with friends
>session whofuckingknows of campaign, the PCs get captured
>next session is them in a super prison inside a volcano trying to escape that is also the big bad's base
>big bad wants to turn them to his side, and that's why they were kept alive
>one member of the team isn't there, an assassin turned good guy vigilante
>nullifier devices around their necks with bombs, so no super powers available
>they manage to escape their cells anyway thanks to the power armor hero guy's technical skills
>recover power armor guy's suit, and he disables the collars
>ohshititsonnow.exe
>during escape, vigilante guy turns up and attacks the physically weakest hero (telekinetic/telepath girl) just before the team gets on their jet
>arrangement had been made at start of campaign between me and assassin/vigilante that he would play a mole for the big bad
>this session would be his last because he was having to go out of town for several months for work
>that's why I captured the team the previous session
>his attack used a puts her on death's door while the team battles some recurring supe bad guys at the jet hangar, which is right over the caldera of the volcano
>assassin/vigilante gets knocked over the platform the jet is on, which is over the volcano's caldera
>battle goes team's way, and they make it on to the jet
>as they are leaving, telekinetic/telepath girl sees assassin/vigilante holding on to the side of some supports for the jet platform, and uses her telekinesis to throw him off to his death

I was gonna make an opening to bring the assassin/vigilante guy back if the game was still going when he got back from his work thing until she did that. Nobody saw it coming since they were supposed to be heroes. This started a heel turn for her, and she ended up killing 2 more bad guys later on in the campaign. Finally the player made a new character and I got her as an NPC.

had my players fight loki with bruce banner was accompanying them to provide tech support
while I expected them to pit the hulk against loki like the comics/MCU, I did not expect them to turn invoke the hulk by punching bruce in the face

they all decided to just run away from the hulk and leave him to cause property damage
which is probably the most realistic reaction to the hulk

superhero wargames are all about pre-existing characters because thats what 90% of the intersection between wargamers and comic fans would actually buy

OC superheroes are treated a bit more skeptically than OC warhammer characters
stuff like the red hulk beating up silver surfer creates way more seethe than xenos-of-the-week killing X terminators
>>
Alright I’m bored and I’m a newbie at this stuff but not heroes I guess.

Tell me what’s a unique power?
>>
>>98493699
the odds of making a truly unique power that is not some exceedingly narrow joke power like the control over diatomaceous earth is pretty low
the superhero powers list is thousands long already
>>
Concrete skin converting, or stomach furnace

Heroclix fear powergirl.
to the point that her last figure was the lame TT Go version of her.

>stuff like the red hulk beating up silver surfer
that was so stupid

Does Heroclix and marvel protocol count?

What are your favorite supers settings outside of the big two and why? For example, I like Invincible because it doesn’t shy away from the kind of ultra-violence supers fights can probably. What about which systems work best for said settings?

Red Hulk is some of the stupidest shit ever, and that's impressive given where it's coming from

>>98497403
I can't into Invincible because Mark is such a pussy. Most of the side characters are cool but I fucking hate Mark.
