That sheet looks pretty good. The only thought I have initially is could you embed the roll chart image under a spoiler tag, that way everyone can just open it up from any screen in this thread?
Nov 13, 2022 3:32 pm
I found Gambit online here. Let me know if this works for the game.

Just in case anyone is curious, Gambit's official original sheet in the supplements.
I, uh... wasn't kidding when I said this was my game. I have all the original books and character supplements and most modules.
Nov 13, 2022 3:46 pm
I'll give it some thought. Are we from any specific variant timeline? Or we can just choose anything?

Gambit's New Sun variant could propel himself across dimensions as well.
So don't build a character and expect to hop around all of reality until you deal with the BBEG's plans for "chapter 1" is the point I'm trying to get at.

I am thinking of Nightcrawler from the Age of Apocalypse universe.Nov 13, 2022 10:57 pm
The base stats on that character seem fine. I'm not sure about a few things. Time travel in teleporting may go away...going to have think about that as it could over complicate things.
Secondly...the magic she can do in Limbo might be too strong. It seems like Monstrous would be a good cap for everyone. However...if it's limited to while in Limbo it might be alright. I'd like to see more character sheets before we settle on a final version.

Agreed.
There are so many different takes on Magik from her many lives and the overall timeline.
To me, time travel is outside of the scope of what we're doing. I could be wrong. It is also very iffy with having to roll online to accomplish a positive result. I wouldn't want to have her suddenly taken out of the story because of a mishap.

Nov 13, 2022 11:46 pm
Yeah, even a couple hours off track could end her adventure. You gotta figure if the BBEG can gather all these characters from multiple dimensions and timelines trapped here and modify their memories, they could probably easily recapture her if she accidentally removed herself from the timeline.
Nov 13, 2022 11:56 pm
Ok, so I should probably elaborate a bit... this take on Cpt. America was essentially "What If... Sabretooth was Captain America?" The premise was that Victor Creed, who survived the Weapon X project (also based on the fact Creed has had an adamantium skeleton himself on two seperate occasions), was subsequently used in the Super Soldier project to become the icon America needed in World War 2.
Powers, stats, and talents are a bit of a hybridization between Sabretooth and Captain America, with the info from Wolverine's skeleton factored in.
Personality-wise, he's somewhere between Homelander and Punisher... in public, he's a boyscout. In combat... he's a soldier first and foremost. That means getting his hands dirty. He doesn't look to kill, but he wouldn't shy away from it if it was needed.

Ok gave it some thought overnight. I'm going to play Days of Future Past Gambit. He doesn't appear directly, so it gives me some flexibility. To reflect a timeline where most mutants are enslaved or killed by Sentinels, I think I will get rid of his emotional control and psy-screen abilities and enhance his physical stats to reflect mental trauma but the increased need for fighting and surviving. I don't know the math on swapping powers for attribute points, so let me know what is reasonable. I also found an image that I modified with the M tattoo he has in the DoFP timeline.
Nov 14, 2022 1:58 am
@nezzeraj, @MaJunior loving these concepts. I'm going to look over them some but all in all you're looking good.
Nov 14, 2022 2:24 am
Hi all! And thanks ZeroCool for having me.
I'll lean into the suggestion of the classic What If, with Jane Foster as Thordis. I'm thinking we can use a tuned-down version of Thor's published stats either straightaway, or start even lower if the idea is for Thordis to slowly regain her memory and therefore her powers.

I have several ideas, from simple to somewhat complicated
Simple:
-Old Man Logan
-Lady Deadpool
Complicated:
- The daughter of Wolverine and Squirrel Girl (they were a couple in 616, so there must be a universe where they had children)
- Kid-Hulk. (It wasn't Bruce Banner but her young daughter who received a dose of gamma rays that turned her into a child Hulk)
- Thanos, Sorcerer Supreme. (Thanos merges with Dr. Strange, He can disguise himself as a human with magic)
Tell me what do you think.

Since I don't remember much about the system, and I don't want to waste time, I'd go with something uncomplicated, like Lady Deadpool.
I found this Sheet. Maybe I could use it?

At the point we start I'd like the length of time to be a mystery. Your names are all the same as your "normal" identities, but your details will be over-written. For example, there will be a Wildon Fisk (aka Kingpin) who is mayor of The Borough. He's a legitimate business man with a wife and son who shakes hands and kisses babies...as far as he knows he has never been involved in organized crime. But once your character are awake, they will remember whatever version of Fisk they know.
Nov 15, 2022 10:52 pm
I'm rethinking whether Thor is the most fun option to play in a game that has Nightcrawler/Deadpool/Gambit, since his power levels are way different from the rest. I'm getting Hell's Kitchen vibes from the Boroughs, so I'm thinking to switch to someone else.
Nov 15, 2022 10:56 pm
Spider-Man or Daredevil or Luke Cage would fit in well. Or pull out the more obscure heroes like Multiple Man! Lol
Nov 16, 2022 2:38 pm
New character pitch up. It's Jamie Madrox! Or is he? Is he is a variant? Is he a duplicate? Is he a variant duplicate? He can't remember!
Nov 18, 2022 11:47 am
No. I thought about it but it isn't needed. I will give you yhe details and if you want to pretend to still be under the influence you can just act that way in character
Nov 18, 2022 12:18 pm
When do you think the game will start? Also I decided to eliminate the Martial Arts talent as it would have boosted some of my actions to Unearthly level and it felt too overpowered. Last question is about suits. Gambit starts with an X-men suit, but I don't know if he'd be wearing or even own that in this alternate world. I don't mind losing it if it makes sense for the game.

On Game Start: I'm ready. I was hoping to have a few more players to start. Right now there are three characters submitted. I could have an initial scene with those who are ready and the others can join later. Does that work for everyone?
Also, those that don't have characters...can I help in some way?
On Equipment: You will be receiving all of your stuff very shortly after you "wake up" in the first scene so there isn't a reason to remove it from your character sheet. You may not have the protection an X-Men uniform provides right away, depending on what you do, but it will be available to you soon enough.

Yeah I'm fine with starting with what we have. I'm assuming we'll be in our own places anyway. Sounds good about the uniform.
Nov 18, 2022 1:31 pm
Ok...then first post will go up today. I'm busy this morning but will start the setup and post in a while.
Nov 18, 2022 2:22 pm
I, uh... may have sorta forgot to fill out an actual sheet after I typed everything out in that post. Go ahead and start (include Cap if you want) and I'll get the sheet filled out ASAP (probably on the commute to work).
Nov 18, 2022 6:13 pm
What are you having trouble doing as far as the sheet goes? Is it strictly the backstory and what makes the character a variant, or is it more mechanical?
Nov 18, 2022 8:36 pm
Starting Karma is your R+I+P. You can choose to dedicate a portion of your karma to advancement (but once you do, it is considered spent and can't be "taken back" to improve a roll or anything). Karma Pools are something a team can create.
Karma is also used to improve rolls, and attempt power stunts.
To start, probably safe to leave most of those blank.
Weaknesses are mostly from the Ultimate Powers book, but if your character has a Kryptonite... that's where you put it.
Power stunts are things like... using telekinesis to fly, bouncing a thrown weapon off multiple enemies, using vibration powers to generate a forcefield, using super-speed to run in a circlecand whip up a tornado, or even sometimes just using a power in rapid succession. If your character has a history of using an ability in a unique way, it's probably a power stunt. They take time and practice (and Karma!) but eventually you don't have to tryto do a power stunt... you can just do it.
Character is Iron Man, identity is Tony Stark. Popularity depends on if a character's identity is secret, and if your identity is secret can be tracked seperately (although most characters don't bother, and popularity reflects the costumed persona).
Hopefully... that's a help?
