For reasons unknown to even me, the magnanimous @Sep and @Master Bruce have picked yours truly as a Consulting GM, which I'm to understand means all of the power and none of the responsibility. Fun!

In my first act as your local feudal lord, I must announce the results of the Superman contest. Before you, you have two truly marvelous sheets, both from seasoned veterans. But there can only be one big blue.

One of the challenges of this particular setting is getting the tone just right, mixing in comic hyper-reality with the ordinary to achieve a distinctly year one effect. In this case, we determined @Master Bruce's just slightly edges it out. We'd like to extend our greatest thanks to both applicants! We're beyond excited to see you both in action, be it in cape or claws.

[@Byrdman] I never thought I would read the name Snapper Carr in any of these games. Only time I ever remember seeing that guy mentioned my DC Encyclopedia from when I was a kid. Absolutely NUTS.


I AM the encyclopedia.

I'm surprised there's not a villain called The Encyclopedia.

Was that one of the possible names Wolfman had for the Monitors?

I think they also had something like "Librarians" or "Archivists" or something as well.

Real talk it was a close race man, we have no issue with your Supes at all. The reason we went with @Master Bruce is because hes the GM his was just a different take we haven't seen in one of these gamea before.

I totally said this of my own free will
I got told to remove that as it made it sound like I didn't write it of my own free will which I definitely did

So how's everyone doing?

It's okay, this is only like the sixth time I've been beaten out for Clark, I'm definitely not bitter at all about that or anything.

For real, though, MB's pitch is genuinely great, and I can't wait to see what he does with it. Plus, I've honestly got some really fun ideas for Wolverine.

Meh, go for it. I had to edit my last comment like five times because it was meaner than I intended, so I have it coming.

He was going to tell you we don't accept straight applications. Your Clark's experience as a paranormal investigator was compelling, but we were really looking for experience at the Ram Ranch.

See it sounds better when I say it because I'm queer and you're only Scottish

Firebird, Jack Hawksmoor, and The Punisher, via @Pacifista, @Byrd Man, and @Simple Unicycle are hereby...

Now that I've successfully rigged the odds in my favor with backstage deals and threats got the roster up and going with a ton of characters and players on the docket, I'm announcing the launch of the IC thread to be this Tuesday. Gives you all a full 48 hours to write up your first posts while the rest of the current applications get processed.

Go Character Sheet, I Choose YOU!!!



Before your application is fully judged, I'd like to know one thing: would Ronan's forces be sizable? Because we're trying to keep things scaled down in the game right now to threats that each hero can handle one battle at-a-time, if not outright get their butts kicked the first few go-arounds, rather than having a bunch appear for a huge fight scene. Superman, for instance, isn't going to be facing off against any big villains of his own for some time like Brainiac or Bizarro. He needs to be built up to that point, so he's mostly just having scraps with city-based enemies like Metallo, Toyman, and the like. I'm getting a distinct Power Rangers inspiration off of this, so if I were to guess that Ronan sends threats down one at a time like Rita and Zedd did the Rangers, that'd be very in-keeping with the game and would be acceptable.

@Master Bruce The Power Rangers analogy is pretty much what i was thinking. Ronan's minions would mostly consist of the Non-Lantern Green Lantern villains such as Doctor Polaris, Karshon The Shark and The Icicle, as well as a couple of the "Alien Mercenary" villains that both Marvel and DC are littered with such as Death's Head, Starbreaker, Lunatik, Draaga, etc. who can be defeated and then released or escape for other players to use. I also had an idea for an episode where Hal gets trapped on an alien ship that wanders into orbit of Earth where it's just him and a half-broken, half-insane Manhunter bot that he has to give the runaround whilst trying to figure out a way off the ship. But i also had idea's for stories of smaller human villains (Including Hector Hammond) or regular civilians having got their hands on the missing rings and getting up to mischief with them. Those stories would follow more of a set up like an episode of Supernatural with them finding the ring, news reaching S.H.I.E.L.D. of ring-based shenanigans going on somewhere else in the world and then Hal and Sinestro going to investigate, before a fight breaks out, the heroes win and the Ring users don't remember a thing about their time under the rings influence. I'll always ask the group before reaching outside of the Lantern mythos for villains though.

And yes, i appreciate the "We are just starting off" so yup, mostly going to be smaller skirmishes, no World Ending Threats. As i said in the Interest Check, when i reach endgame and Ronan does reach Earth, it's going to be a very isolated invasion where he uses alien technologies to make sure the rest of Earth remains oblivious to him and the carnage of Coast City until he has what he's come for. Partially because he doesn't want the rings escaping his grasp, but mostly because he's read the reports of the Kryptonian and he isn't confident he can take that guy until he has the rings.
