Hello all, I'm Rich! I mostly play PBtA stuff, live, over Zoom, and via PBP. I live in the Twin Cities, MN (Central TZ US) and post most times of my day and early evening.
I own the MM RPG book and I'm eager to see it in play.

Hey, all!
I’m tuning in from South Korea! I also have a copy of the book, though it now rests in the hands of our GM, Nezzeraj!
He has the pleasure of getting to see my ugly mug in real life!

Hi everyone! Thanks Nezz for having me. MM is a game I'm also keen to run myself, so it'll be great to play in a session as well. Singapore time zone for posting!

Hello, thanks for the invite! I'm excited to try out a new system and super excited about an X-Men game. I am also posting from the Central US time zone and check the site at least once a day.

For dice rolling, the Marvel die is supposed to be the middle one, but GP doesn't have dice logic for that, but there is one for the last die, so that will be the marvel die. I don't know of a way to alter the actual number value, so I'm replaced the 1 with an "M". The value is still calculated as a 1 so we'll have to mentally add +5 to the result to get the true value. Hope that makes sense lol.

Are we playing in the full canon of the X-Men animated series? If so, Senator Kelly became President Kelly and then left office.

edited to add: Also, Kelly made a complete turnaround on mutants when they saved his life and pardoned Beast as his first presidential act.

I kept the Senator Kelly reference vague, since we're talking '97, so it depends where in the comics timeline this adventure takes place. Kelly is likely to be a definite presence in the meeting I'm guessing, but how vehement his anti-mutant stance is, whether he's involved in behind-the-scenes stuff at this point I'm thinking we can still leave vague, ie nothing happens unless our GM alludes to it.
I also kinda assumed a US Senate rather than a UN general assembly. But happy to retcon anything since it's just a starter post.

We're playing in universe 615.768 which is whatever we create together lol. Nothing is canon until its mentioned in game basically. Go wild!
Jul 10, 2024 9:51 pm
I'm really enjoying the dialog from Wolvie, Jubes, and Gambit so far. Great writing, you guys!
Jul 10, 2024 9:59 pm
Bedzone, I've only seen one post from Nightcrawler so far, but I'm excited for more!
Jul 10, 2024 11:27 pm
Yeah, everyone's doing a great job! One of the best game starts I've had on GP.
Jul 21, 2024 3:17 am
Am I missing something, or is there a reason why Nightcrawler is going one by one instead of teleporting everyone who's going at once?
Jul 21, 2024 9:46 am
As far as I can tell from the power as described, Teleport Together only allows for one target to be transported each time, unfortunately.
Unless our GM wants to allow for multiple targets, withe a corresponding cost increase.

Jul 21, 2024 1:17 pm
Teleporting together needs direct contact, so I would say Nightcrawler can take 2 at a time, at double the cost.
Jul 21, 2024 2:05 pm
For Cyclops, the Blackbird does have an autopilot, so he could come aboard too and should be ok unless the other plane tries any evasive maneuvers.
Jul 22, 2024 1:03 am
I'm happy to have Scott hang back and maybe give support for now. If I get bored or if the fight runs too long, I'll have him ask Kurt to bring him over.
Jul 23, 2024 3:35 pm
Maybe we can distract everyone while Nightcrawler teleports out the captive mutant? Either messing up the flight control like Wolverine was planning or Gambit can blow a hole in the side of the plane?
Jul 24, 2024 12:05 am
Just keep in mind you're heroes and crashing planes and killing people probably wouldn't be the best look lol.
Jul 24, 2024 7:09 am
That's what Kurt said earlier too, whether even entering a plane constitutes a violation, to be weighed against the rescue of a mutant.
Teleporting them out to save them is a great idea though!

I think it's also worth considering figuring out where the FoH was planning on taking the mutant. I realize that it probably would've been a good idea to follow the plane, but too late for that. We probably should interrogate someone at some point.
Jul 27, 2024 8:42 pm
Did the bad guys take their turns yet? Also, are there a dozen individual enemies, or are they grouped as a mob? Thinking about giving them a good ol' razzledazzle to the eyes.

OOC:
Still combat, just attacking an item instead of a person. Also you have your non-combat bonuses and your ability defenses swapped. No way to get a +16 on a roll lol. Non-combat should be +7, agility defense is 16. But you still succeed and get a fantastic success.That also makes sense about not wanting to kill anyone, I guess I was thinking too much like a cartoon that everyone would magically have parachutes and land safely or something. What's going on in game is working much better than what I was suggesting! Maybe while we're leaving the plane, one of the soldiers can be grabbed for interrogation?
Also, very out of character, but has anyone watched the new Deadpool & Wolverine movie? I really liked it and I thought it was quite appropriate for what we are playing now!

Grabbing NPCs is a good solution. There are actually 3 ways to get the information, but I want to let everyone figure those out :P. I am on vacation this week (well staycation) and do plan to see the movie during this next week.
Jul 29, 2024 2:57 am
I just got home from seeing Deadpool and Wolverine. I laughed SO HARD at parts. It was insane. Loved it. No notes.
Stay till after the credits.

Lol I'll let you teleport the plane as an object...but people are not objects, so they will just be freefalling in air as the plane bamfs from around them haha,quilltid says:
OOC:
Maybe each of the X-Men minus Nightcrawler and Cyclops could escape with a parachute and an unconscious soldier to reduce how many people have to be teleported to the Blackbird? The pilot can also parachute his way out. Cyclops can shoot down the unoccupied plane so it doesn't hurt anyone and then fly back to get us. Whatever we do, we should probably tie up the unconscious guys so they don't mutiny on the Blackbird before they're taken over.Aug 6, 2024 3:58 am
Too early to ask I suppose, but I dunno if we're gonna to get some rest to recover Focus, seeing as it's a short scenario. I don't mind playing with the rest of Nightcrawler's other abilities, he shouldn't be a one trick pony.
Aug 6, 2024 9:58 am
Well almost all of your abilities require Focus, so you'll need to rest to use any of them. Yes there will be time to sleep since there will be a long trip ahead :)
Aug 14, 2024 4:18 pm
It sounds like the team has enough time to drop off the innocent mutant Hannah and the FoH guys, then continue on to the island. That's where it feels like things should go, right?
Aug 25, 2024 2:59 pm
This came out last week, it's a pretty good summary of the rules (really helped me out).
Aug 26, 2024 2:54 am
I may disappear this week. My grandmother seems to be on her death bed, and I might have to fly from South Korea back to Ireland to attend the funeral. It’s been 9 years since I’ve been home, too. Not a great situation to be in, to be honest. I’ll try stay going anyway, but just in case!
Aug 26, 2024 5:20 pm
I'm sorry for your family's troubles, KCC. I wish you and yours comfort. The long time away from home and needing to return only compounds it.

That's automatic in the rules I set up. It doesn't change the value, I just had the system display results of 1 as "M."

I realise I wasn't clear enough. I was intending to drop the debris onto the ones who were grabbing our three X Men, so that they'd be forced to release them if they didn't want to be crushed. I do realsie this means Gambit, Cyclops and Jubilee might also be hit, but maybe that's still better than being grabbed!
Sep 14, 2024 12:19 pm
Oh sorry! I didn't think you'd want to drop debris on your friends haha. Um, I'll let the others weigh in on whether they'd want that or not haha.
Sep 14, 2024 1:15 pm
If that was the original intention of BedzoneII, I am fine with that. Gambit is probably getting hurt either way! For the crushing grip, does Gambit get one less damage due to his basic power Sturdy 1?

I don't mind if you do it, but Jubilee is 100% going to get knocked out by this. Jubilee's already at 4 HP with that second attack from the minion.

Ok here's the relevant rules for Nightcrawler's attack: Nightcralwer makes 1 Agility attack which is compared to everyone's Agility Defense score. The helicopter is Huge size, which gives a +2 to both attack and damage multiplier. This will really hurt if it hits lol.
[ +- ] Improvsed Weapons
When making an attack with an improvised weapon—in either close or ranged combat—it inflicts the attacker’s full damage on the target. On a Fantastic success, double the damage, but the improvised weapon is now effectively destroyed.
The larger an improvised weapon is—relative to its target’s size—the more targets it can be used to attack at once, as shown in the Potential Targets column on the table. The number there is a maximum, and it assumes that all the potential targets are average sized and standing in adjacent spaces—which is rare. It’s up to the Narrator to decide how many targets can actually be affected.
When making an attack against multiple targets, the attacker makes a single attack roll. Each of the targets then compares that against their appropriate defense score.
Larger objects do more damage, as shown in the Damage Multiplier column. Damage multiplier modifiers do not stack with other things that affect damage multiplier modifiers in the same direction.

Eek ok. Also the GM says the damage to the PCs is already done anyway, so dropping the heli doesn't save everyone from that first round of damage.
In which case, ignore! Thanks for the consideration lol, no edits/takebacks needed to gameplay.

so you'd be trading enemy damage for friendly fire damage lol
you could wipe out the whole enemy group, but also risk taking out alliesWhat does everyone think? Worth the risk?

Wait, if Wolverine is in the chopper with Nightcrawler, maybe they can do a Fastball Special where Nightcrawler dunks Wolverine onto the goons instead of the chopper. Wolverine probably could tear up the goons once he's in reach.
