[OOC] CLOSED - Ultimate One Universe: Season One

[Eddie Brock]

I enjoyed World of Heroes when we had a stacked Teen Titans roster. Superboy, Robin, Ravager, Zachary Zatara, Kid Flash, and Supergirl all PCed at the same time. Otherwise, I don't really remember it. I had way more fun in the Ultimate and One Universe RPGs.

_{Looks to one of MB's posts in the IC.}
Yeah. Fuck the kind of writers who would to that.

@Retired

I may or may not have actually intended that to be a subtle reference to that very instance.

Almost makes me wish I had stumbled upon Superherohype when I was younger. But hey, we have whatever we have now.

So do I. Don't really like how I wrote Deadpool or didn't post as Aquaman. But I've had pretty consistent issues in these games with staying focused.

@Inkarnate

I think this was my blue collar Batman idea that I always talked to MB about. Of course when I get to do it, MB is nowhere to be found. But his absence was really the only reason I got to do it in the first place.

@Inkarnate

I feel like this is your catchphrase now with how often I've seen you lament this over the years.

[mickilennial]

On an unrelated note, I just saw the new Mission Impossible and it makes me miss Byrd's Singular Universe James Bond a whole lot.

I believe Byrd copy-pasted old Suicide Squad posts in his run in that toe-dipping.

With as much reverence as I have for World Of Heroes, that second iteration of Ultimate DC was some of the best stuff I've ever produced to this day. And I wasn't alone. From Byrd's amazing Edward Nygma, who never became The Riddler but was an incredibly formidable opponent without the need for any of those trappings, to Andy's pretty awesome Robin and Raven ship, to Spike's Bane, to your Selina Kyle, who I still hold in such a high regard that I've never been able to feel quite right in writing Selina for myself. I still wish we had gotten to do half of the stuff we'd planned for Bruce and Selina as Batman and Catwoman, because we got to do alot of the build-up to it. There were alot of great players who visited UDC's Gotham... much to the chagrin of alot of players, who represented cities that weren't nearly as popular.

[mickilennial]

I really like Eddie's Green Arrow.

[Eddie Brock]

I will say that I wish we knew how to capture the feel of World of Heroes or All-Star Marvel. For whatever their faults, they were games with honest-to-God history behind them. Like... I still kinda 'ship Bart Allen and Supergirl thanks to those games. And because they were so far along, they could have those legacy characters.

Starting a game now, it's like you either start Year One (sorry, legacies), go off of current comics continuity (which many of us don't really like atm), or pick an arbitrary cutoff point/play fast and loose with continuity (which works but is obviously messy as hell).

I mean, obviously this game will run that long and we'll eventually reach that long, nbd, but I do wish I could skip ahead. (Because I love me some Superboy.)

[DocTachyon]

Can someone give me links to the games you guys are referencing? I feel a mighty hankering for more of everyone's writing, since I'm all caught up on the IC.

@Master Bruce

This is definitely code for a sex scene.
There's still a chance here. You can write a scene between your two characters that will put all of Nate's fantasies to shame.

@Master Bruce

Do you remember the Maroni wedding arc? Your Batman, Eddie's Selina, my Nygma, and Spike's Bane all converged on the same place for a fucking hell of a reception.

@Byrd Man

Yeah, you never got to do that, but you did actually do a really intriguing run with Green Arrow that utilized the blue collar idea. I still want to rip you off one day by having all of Bruce's sidekicks/wards/adopted kids just be a series of biological children, which was a surprisingly effective change to Ollie's character.

There's a lot of stuff to comb through, but UDC and WoH are a start, along with All-Star Marvel and the first incarnation of Heroes vs. Villains.

[Eddie Brock]

I really like Eddie's Green Arrow.

@Inkarnate

Yeah, I miss that little bastard. Perhaps someday the opportunity to write him will come again. I had a killer Mister Negative arc planned for the last RPG we all tried to start together, but I didn't hang with it.

@Byrd Man

Fuck me, that was some of the best interaction I've ever taken part in. That was actually my first big real fight with Spike's Bane, setting up the whole Ultimate Knightfall stuff. I also really fondly recall your part in that arc itself, where you had Nygma pose as Dr. Death to lure Batman into a trap spearheaded by the GCPD, weakening him to the point that Bane could attack and take him out.

Aww, thanks. I love me too.
