Given it is a theme league, we could do away with some of the league trappings like upgrading and such - just let people play the figures they want that they feel are representative of their team.

If we needed to do stats, we could upgrade for feats or special objects or something like in the Modern League.

It just seems like this league has a different focus than mimicing fantasy sports.

EDIT: Just saw this proposed already I concur hear hear!

938 - either I'm first or I'm dead last.

Still trying to figure out what to run.

Oh yeah and my roll is 472.

If we don't have to upgrade and I get the Lod....I will be playing the heck out of Vet Black Manta.

ALL HAIL MANTA!!!

Maybe stats could be used for things like feats, and BFCs? Or Special Objects?

Another thought:

If we were to go without the upgrade paths, it frees up multiple people to have popular characters. For example:

TAK wants to run Silver Era JLA
I want to run Morrison Era JLA
Let's say Rokk wants the Legion (and if he wants it ... Rokk should REALLY get the Legion

Well - we can all have Superman. TAK could have the Man of Steel, I could have the Vet from CD, and Rokk could have Young Superman.

I think that that, would be kind of a nice way to help with the theme-ness, and make sure everyone can do whatever they want.

Just an idea.

Superman rips the light post and charges...himself?

"Hey, I'm Superman!"

"No no, I'm Superman! You were wiped out in 2006."

"No no, YOU were wiped out...read page 45 again."

"Well I'll be...you were right."

It'll be funny!!!

I'm all for no upgrading.

Krueger sent me a PM saying if someone else wanted his spot, they could have it. So if you want in, come on in!

Then why are we rolling? You do realize that the Man of Steel LE isn't keyworded to my League, but to yours? I get EV Icons. Trust me, I'd rather get the LE.


I suggest we use jb's idea of listing people who are "theme" for our team, so them multiple X-teams can run around, multiple JLA teams can run around, etc.

Ice really wanted this to get off the ground. I hate to see him not be able to play some sort of x-team. So my idea would be thus:

I core up some Silver Agers. I will then list which 10 pieces are "theme" for my team, including which indiviual pieces in the progression. All others will still be draftable.


Thus, The BN and BD pieces can be left seperate as teams if they want to be run without "bumping" heads.

As long as he is ok with it sure.

what Website do I get the Roll from and what E-mail do I send it to ?

Here is the way we used to do it over at CreationMatrix.com in what I believe were some of the very first online leagues (Cosmic Justice had just released):

We all drafted figures, much like our leagues here.

All figures started at the Rookie, or lowest costed LE.

Figures were upgraded by "Attendance". Meaning all you had to do with Black Manta was play the Rookie in one game and you get the E. Then you play the E and you get your sweet, sweet Veteran.

We each had 600 Points to draft with. That allowed for big and small pieces to be drafted.

We had varying point totals each week. 200-600 Points.

That was in our very first league and it was awesome. A lot of bad pieces got played, but a lot of sweet pieces unlocked without a ton of work.

Now, keep in mind that was when Cosmic Justice had first released. Waaaayyyyy back when. We only had IC, Hypertime, CT, XP, and Indy in the world.

And then we have the CreationMatrix.com "PLAYGROUND LEAGUE" rules:

Each player drafts X amount of figures (10 in that league).

Points did not matter while drafting. You could draft a ton of big pricey pieces, but you better have some support for smaller games.

Then the "Playground" aspect. Different scenarios each week. "Bank Robbery" or "Capture the Flag" or "Zombpocalypse" were put into effect. It pretty much neutered the power gamers cause we never knew the scenario ahead of time and it wasn't always just a brawl in the street.

2 Figures would be picked at the Season Half "All-Star Game".

Points would range from 200-800 points. throughout the year.

Cool, huh?

I like both of these ideas, Scott.

I'm perfectly ok. Join in and have fun.

I'll be open to enter the league again if you need to even the number of players, i.e., if another players wishes to play and you have an empty spot.

I have some teams I was thinking of and my roll wasn't that bad: 516...
