(3 replies) https://classicmarvelforever.com/phorum/read.php?3,86031,86031#msg-86031
It seems that in all the profiles I have found on Iron Man armors I noticed that after a certain point (Post Mk. 51) Iron Man's armors stop having the ability to absorb energy?

Is there an in-universe reason in the comics ever stated for him to stop using that power? Did they ever even acknowledge it?]]>

Example:

Hero has an Endurance of Excellent (20), and Body Armor of Remarkable (30), gets hit by Villain who has Incredible (40) Strength. The roll result is Red (Stun). Hero loses 10 Health and 30 points of damage is absorbed by Hero's Remarkable Body Armor.

Can Hero resist the Stun or not?

I decided to switch from D&D to FASERIP MSH's. I had the maps and the adventure and passed out the 4 color charts and we were off.

From saving mind controlled victims jumping off the dock to taking on Blacklash, Hobgoblin and the Beetle in the streets to even discovering the villain known as the Purple Man was behind it --- The kids loved it. They picked up the basics and did well interacting with the NPC's.

I even saw some concern from a few kids not to spend too much Karma!- save some for the next fight.

You know , I really miss playing this game. We here at this site/community should really try and play more than we do ( if some are like me and don't play as often as we would like )

PS: I printed up a good amount of popular characters and let my 4 teens pick who they wanted.

Here was their team: Doctor Strange , She-Hulk, Spiderman and X-23 ( my resident Goth-girl loved her costume and claws )]]>

I have always liked the resources on this site. Thank you to those who have made it possible.

I thought at one time there were much more than the 20ish number of DC Heroes given the full FASERIP character profile treatment I can click on from Profiles | Comic Book | D.C. Can someone point me to a resource here (or somewhere else) that has a robust treatment of DC hereos and villains in FASERIP?

I'd be much obliged. I played a lot of MSHRPG in the 80s. Recently I watched every Super Friends episode with my daughter chronologically. I'd like to introduce her to superhero RPG. I checked out the old DC Heroes RPG and it didn't seem as approachable. So, that's why I'd love to leverage a DC Heroes/Villains resource in FASERIP.

Thanks for any assistance!]]>

It may rival the Sci-Fi rpg genre......

FASERIP is my preferred game but many of these may have cool rule mechanics or nuanced settings that make it shine!!

My one regret is I didn't try to play more of these games when I was younger ( and had more time for the rpg hobby ) because of my gaming Snobbery!]]>

Looking back, I am surprised it only had 16 episodes. Because I am bored, here is my rank of the Hall of Justice members for least valuable member to MVP , using the show as a guideline. I will do the hall of Doom later.


Tier four.

11. Robin. Although he is voce by the legendary Casey Kasem, he is a useless hero, and has zero moments.

10. Aquaman. He was nearly useless in the show, though rather powerful today in the comics, so I'm told.


Tier three

9. Hawkman. A minor charter who was under used, he can fly but that is it.

8. Batman. In the show he is a fair combatant who has none of his genius or his better weapons.
Handicapped by having Robin by his side.

7. Apache Chief. He can grow up to 50 feet tall, and has his moments. A tad under used.

6 . Samurai. He can turn invisible and control the winds.

5. Black Vulcan. He has great power, but is probably used by the least of the heros.



Tier two.

4. Flash. His superspeed powers are unique.

3. Wonder woman. She keeps targeting the villain lady Cheetah in the show but Stands tall nonetheless.


Tier One


Green Lantern

His ring grants him the power of his mind. But it only has a 24 hour charge.


Super Man He stands alone as the Justice League's MVP and has but one weakness. Kryptonite.]]>

Here's more info

Many years ago A player in A Marvel Campaign I was running caused the death of A Npc but it was my fault before I forgot to tell the player that the npc had a very severe nut allergy and because I'd forgot to tell him his character made the Npc a meal that contained nuts, which proved fatal

Luckily the players character was A Sorcerer and because it was my fault for forgetting to tell the player that the npc had a very severe nut allergy and because I'd forgot to tell him his character made the Npc a meal that contained nuts, which proved fatal I decided to avoid the character losing all his Karma, by using the fact that his character was A Sorcerer to change it so that what happened actually happened in a vision of the future, which allowed the player and his character to avoid causing the death

On the subject of the amount of Karma The Pc had he had something like 1,900 odd in A Advancement Pool that he was planning to use to get a new power and something like 500 Karma available for use]]>

Quote
Ultimate Powers Book by Necromancer
M37/Mobius Strip**: The Mobius Strip or Mobius Loop, Mobius Band or Mobius is a surface with only one side (when embedded in three dimensional Euclidian space) and only one boundary. The Mobius Strip has the mathematical property of being unorientable. It can be realized as a rules surface. It’s discovery is attributed to Ferdinand Mobius in 1858. A hero who can perform the higher level of mathematics required to understand the Mobius Strip can use it to teleport through space and time anywhere with in the Omniverse, limited only by their
Power Rank. The hero may teleport to distant stars and worlds or even alternate dimensions or times. Powers which block Teleport are uneffective against the Mobius Strip. By holding hands, a user of the Mobius Strip may take along passengers with him through Euclidian spaces. A user of the Mobius Strip may also speak with the spirits of the dead and as a power stunt may eventually learn Zombie Animation.

Anyone have a clue where this came from? There's nothing for it in the SuperPowers wiki...]]>

Here's the character I made and how I made him. What do you think? (2 replies) https://classicmarvelforever.com/phorum/read.php?3,85800,85800#msg-85800
Its similar to how you create characters in The James Bond RPG

We all get 500 points with which to do this

The Fan Made Appearance Stat is the only 1 you don’t have to put any points in, if you want you can or you can take a risk and only have you’re Appearance be equal to Typical +a roll on the ability modifier table

The GM has decided that we must all use Altered Heroes

The GM has decided that that means that rather then raise 1 stat by 1 rank that all of our characters get to add 10 points to 1 stat

I will admit that The GM has decided that Talents cost 10 points each

Luckily, in my opinion, The GM has decided that Talents that normally use up 2 of your choices still only cost 10 points each

Saying that though because Law Enforcement includes both Guns and Law it costs 30 points

I’m planning to go for a, in my opinion, character that is very varied, fairly powerful, will be very useful and should be would be very fun to use

I was worried the other 4 players would go for characters that were super strong in some area’s and super weak in others area’s

But I was wrong and just like me they’re all going for a character that, in our opinions, is very varied fairly powerful, will be very useful and should be would be very fun to use

Also

Once we’ve all created our characters me and The other 4 Players decided which 1 of their Heroes will be the groups leader, he or she is even stronger then the rest and gets the following modifiers

He or she gets +1D8 to all stats, +1D6 to all powers, +2D4 Hero ID Popularity and +1D4 Secret ID Popularity

He or she gains 1 Random Talent, +1D6 to their Resources, they also add +1D4 to The Reason of all their Contacts and they also add +1D3 to The Resources of all their Contacts

The 2nd best, in my opinion, benefit from of being The Groups Leader is that as he or she is the leader of A Hero Group his or her appearance will always be at least handsome

The 3rd best, in my opinion, benefit from being the groups leader is that if the leaders appearance is Good or Lower it increase’s to Excellent, and that happens even if his or her appearance is Poor

The best, in my opinion, benefit from of being The Groups Leader is that also gains A Business Contact with A Reason of Excellent 1D3+15 and A Resource Rank of Good 1D3+10

In the end I created the following character that, in my opinion, is varied yet fairly powerful and very useful and these include the boosts

The stat I gave another +10 to is Fighting and his stats are Fighting Remarkable 30, Agility Excellent 20, Strength Excellent 20, Endurance Excellent 20, Reason Excellent 20, Intuition Remarkable 20 and Psyche Excellent 20, that gives him Health 90 and Karma 60. Costs 140 points, leaves 360 points

His Powers are Stunning type Ranged Attack Incredible 30, Flying Remarkable 30, Regeneration Remarkable 30 and Invisibility Remarkable 30. Costs 120 points, total cost 260 points, leaves 240 points

For His Popularity I want him to be A Very Popular in his Hero ID but his Civilian ID’s popularity will only have A Average Amount of Popularity and that’s why his Hero ID Popularity is 35 and his Secret ID Popularity is 5. Costs 40 points, total cost 300 points, leaves 200 points

His Resources are Remarkable 30 and his 5 Talents are Computers, Law, Leadership, Medicine and Unarmed Combat. Costs 80 points, total cost 380 points, leaves 120 points

My characters appearance starts at Typical, which means plain to average, but the ability modifier roll is A 15, which drops my characters appearance to Poor, which means Repulsive, lets hope I get chosen to be the groups leader. Costs 0 points, total cost 380 points, leaves 120 points

His Contacts are 1 Lawyer with Excellent 17 Reason and Good 13 Resources, 1 Doctor with Excellent 18 Reason and Good 12 Resources, 1 Junior Police Sergeant that’s got a high intelligence with Excellent 17 Reason and Good 13 Resources and 1 Forensic Scientist that’s fully trained, very intelligent and completely inexperienced with Excellent 20 Reason and Good 10 Resources. Costs 120 points, total cost 500 points, leaves 0 points

Also

The rest of the group decided that my character would be the leader and the most likely reason is that I’m the only 1 that’s previously played in more then 1 other Marvel Hero Campaign

This means that I get the modifiers mentioned earlier and that means that my characters actual capabilities are as follows
Fighting Incredible 38, Agility Excellent 25, Strength Remarkable 26, Endurance Excellent 4, Reason Remarkable 26, Intuition Excellent 24 and Psyche Remarkable 26, that gives him Health 113 and Karma 76

His Powers are Stunning Missile type Ranged Attack Incredible 36, Flying Remarkable 34, Regeneration Remarkable 34 and Invisibility Remarkable 32

His Popularity is Hero ID Popularity 41 and Secret ID Popularity 9, his Resources are Remarkable 35 and his 5+1 or 6 Talents are Computers, Electronics, Law, Leadership, Medicine and Unarmed Combat

As The Groups Leader my characters Appearance gets boosted from Poor, which means Repulsive, to Excellent, which means Pretty/Handsome

His Contacts are 1 Lawyer with Excellent 19 Reason and Excellent 16 Resources, 1 Doctor with Excellent 20 Reason and Good 15 Resources, 1 Junior Police Sergeant that’s got a high intelligence with Excellent 21 Reason and Good 14 Resources and 1 Forensic Scientist that’s fully trained, very intelligent and completely inexperienced with Excellent 23 Reason and Good 13 Resources

As my character is The Leader of A Hero Group he automatically gains A Business Contact with A Reason Rank of Excellent 17 and A Resource Rank of Good 12

Ooops

I initially forget that with the points buy system The GM decided that the system would give all Players enough freebies that when creating their character they would have quite a lot of leeway

This means that every character gets 5 free points in 1 stat, 2 free points in every other stat, 2D2+4 free points of Hero ID Popularity, 2 free
points of Secret ID Popularity and 1D6 free points of free resources

After generating his or her characters powers A Player gets to boost either 1 of his choice by 2 points or 1 random power by 4 points or 2 random powers by 2 points each

After generating his or her characters contacts A Player gets to boost either The Reason or The Resources of A Contact of his choice by 2 points or boost both The Reason and The Resources of A Random Contact by 2 points

This boosts my characters Fighting to Incredible 43, my Agility to Remarkable 27, my Strength to Remarkable 28 my Endurance to Remarkable 26, my Reason to Remarkable 28, my Intuition to Remarkable 26 and my Psyche to Remarkable 28 it boosts his Health to 124 and boosts his to 82

It also boosts my characters Hero ID Popularity to 49, boosts his Secret ID Popularity to 11, boosts his Resources Rank to Incredible 39 are Remarkable 35

I choose to boost 1 random power by 4 points and that ends up boosting Stunning Missile type Ranged Attack to Incredible 40

I choose to boost both The Reason and The Resources of A Random Contact by 2 points, I choose the Senior Police Sergeant that’s got a high intelligence, and this boosts his Reason to Excellent 23 and his Resources to Excellent 16

Also

With the points buy system the hero group can pool their resources to buy a good home to be their base

And

We as a group decided to pool our resources to buy the following home to be their base

It’s a Very Large House that has A Cost of Incredible 43 and this very large house has 14 Rooms that don’t count against the 14 room limit and another 14 Rooms that do count against the 14 room limit

The house 12 rooms that don’t count against the 12 room limit are 6 Bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 2 toilets and 2 closets and it also has 1 broom cupboard, 1 airing cupboard, 1 small front garden and 1 tiny back garden

The Houses 14 rooms that count against the 14 room limit are 1 remarkable rank Kitchen, 1 remarkable rank Dining Room, 1 remarkable rank Living Room, 1 good rank garage that can hold 3 fairly cars, 1 remarkable rank Rec Room, 1 incredible rank Private Gym that takes up the equivalent of 3 rooms, 1 remarkable rank Private Swimming Pool, 1 remarkable rank Library, 1 excellent rank Crime Files Room, 1 remarkable rank Workshop, 1 incredible rank Laboratory and 1 remarkable rank Computer Room]]>

but in the advanced players book under magic use we can note personal spells cast the user 1 point of health per round, and then, what I'm asking about is: "The success of spells using Universal Energies depends on the type of spell. All spells that affect the Psyche or abilities of
the target grant that target a Psyche FEAT to avoid the effect, treating the caster's Psyche as the Intensity of the attack.If the Psyche FEAT is successful, the attacking magic-wielder's Psyche is reduced by one rank for 1-in turns. If Psyche is reduced below Good, the caster loses the ability to cast spells. Universal spells require a gesture or chant to cast, and the caster must have his hands and mouth free." bold mine pg 63

what the hell was "1-in turns" supposed to mean? all i ever see is this misprint(?) copied, never explained.

later on dimensional spells we see "Dimensional energy spells automatically have an initiative roll of in and require both chanting and gestures to entreat the force to respond."

so "in" is actually 10? 1-10 rounds the psyche is reduced? I can think of no other answer, but I'm curious what, if anything, others do re: magic use. 10 is noted for being last in initiative in laces, though it's another strange error/mistake IMHO.

Thoughts?]]>

(34 replies) https://classicmarvelforever.com/phorum/read.php?3,85695,85695#msg-85695 Recently I started a new RPG group with the idea of playing different systems. After a good game of cyber punk themed Dreamchaser game the players wanted to do superheroes and they choose MSH, but after remembering how bad the rolling system was I talked them into Savage Worlds supers. As a GM I prefer the players to be able to choose their powers and abilities within a certain limit. I'd have preferred to use MSH but it just wouldn't work with these players on a random die roll system.

Which brings me here to ask:
Is there a (balanced) point system out there somewhere for use with the FASERIP system?]]>

Punisher punches Spider-Man weakly

Granted, Punisher looks weak and wounded here, but as far as I know Spider-Man normally has no Invulnerability or Body Armor-type powers, so he should still feel a punch from a human with normal levels of Strength. So I just chalk this scene up to dramatic license.

Recently, however, I discovered an older picture where three uniformed goons are attacking Spider-Man. I'm not sure what series and issue it comes from, but based on the art and colors, it looks like it may have come from the 1980s. In it, three uniformed thugs are attacking Spidey and one of them boasts having once been a former heavyweight boxer.. and he breaks his hands after punching Spidey in the guts.

Three goons attack Spidey

Unless Spidey was wearing armor under his outfit or something, that's twice Spidey has ignored blunt damage even though he supposedly doesn't have a power to do so.

So, one incident can be handwaved away, but to me, two is the beginning of a precedent. It can still be ignored as just dramatic license if you really wanted to...

But what if you didn't want to? What if you wanted to make some kind of official ruling for this kind of stuff?

This would be my suggestion: Characters with superhuman levels of Strength (Remarkable and higher) can perform a kind of Power Stunt. After paying your obligatory Karma for the Power Stunt, make a Strength roll.; if successful, you can reduce Blunt damage by a number of Column Shifts based on the result of your roll.

On a Green result, you can soak Blunt damage of up to -4CS your Strength rating.
On a Yellow result, you can soak Blunt damage of up to -3CS your Strength rating.
And finally, on a Red result, you can soak Blunt damage of up to -2CS your Strength rating

So, what do you think? Questions? Comments? Disagreements? Anything that I overlooked? Talk about it below and tell me about it!]]>

A new Marvel Comics RPG is coming out.

How many game systems is this now? 4?

Faserip

Saga

some non dice stone thingy?

and this new one?

surprised Free League Publishing or Modiphius Entertainment didn't buy the rights and use their House systems....

I think i would of prefered a well established rule set and just stat the Marvel game to it. Even if it was crammed in and was the wrong fit for Genre and setting.- with so many super hero rpg's who cares? At least i would be mildly amused at a d20 MSU rpg or a D6 version that is in creative commons.]]>

Is that usually handled as a continuous Charge attack of a certain intensity? (which could be a valid method)

If so, is that official (book and page number, please), or is that just a common houserule?

If not, where does it mention a crushing mechanic? (book and page number, please.)]]>

On Drums one of the best The Thing pounding those skins
Bass Guitar the sly one - The Invisible Girl
And on Lead Guitar The Human Torch - Johnny Storm

rumor has it some rock role playing bands had better individual instrumentalists but did any have the run like the FF?

Solo musicians like bass player Spider Man had a great career as did Guitarist Iron Man a sort of Eric Clapton

The Early Defenders albums with DR. Strange on moog synth and keyboard - very prog metal / hard rock]]>

The encounter will be with Alien and each Robot is designed to easily defeat a specific hero but against any other Hero are useless

For example the Green 1 can go toe to toe with The Demi God Thor and win with almost no effort but against any other hero, even a a weak hero like Aurora, it can't win and will easily be destroyed]]>
