So ...here we are with another FlyingIcarus/Gargantua production. This one is holiday themed. Last year we had a fun run with a Halloween based game set in 1692. One of my favorites. For me it's a great excuse to play with favorites like Strange and Scarlet Witch.

This time it's a loosely based Marvel vs. DC mystics game. 500-600 points; 50 feats...the object is to physically tag an opponent to oust him from the game. Conditions are: you must be next to the opponent to tag him and he must have taken one click of damage before he can be tagged. This way neither Marvel nor DC are given too much advantage. So, onwards...

Another dimension. Mage Stephen Strange and Clea are completing a battle in her home dimension with a threat known as Eloskodo. With a wave of his hand Strange disperses of the energy being and he scatters into multi-particles.

"Thank you, Stephen," Clea says graciously.

"Of course my love. And as much as I hate to battle and leave I must return home. It's All Hallows Eve and I've a night of medidation with a mass of demanding mystics than I must prepare for. Even now I'm sure Wong is fretting over where he'll find all the green tea and potions we'll need."

"Of course Stephen, and I'd love to come but I must undo the damage Eloskodo have done on my world. Hmmmm....it's odd."

"What is, Clea?".

"I just recalled that Eloskodo means something like 'parasite' in Hungarian. I wonder if there's any connection."

"Interesting thought, "Strange says enveloping himself in a spell to send himself back home. As he does one of the enrgy particles from Eloskodo attaches itself to Dr. Stranges' cloak and travels with him back to his Santum Santorum.

Strange arrives staken but recovers and brushes it off as nothing. He has much preparation to do.

"What is it Hector?" Zatanna asked. Her face hovered in a little bubble in the air in front of Dr. Fate.

"I'm getting some very strange vibes," he admitted. "It is Halloween, but Nabu's telling me that it's more than just that. Something serious is going down, dimensional barriers weakening, and it's going to be our universe against another. Order versus Chaos. But he's an alarmist at times, and I'm honestly not sure how much I trust him after the whole business with Black Adam in Kahndaq. So I thought I'd get your opinion."

"I've been sensing something as well," Zatanna agreed. "But as you say it is Halloween and the mystical forces are stronger on this night than most other times. So that may be all there is to it, despite what Nabu says. Nevertheless, he does have centuries of experience in this. I wouldn't panic just yet, but at the same time, it wouldn't hurt to be prepared. Just in case. I'm going to check in with some others. I'll let you know if I find anything."

"Right, thanks," Dr. Fate nodded. The bubble popped and Zatanna's image was gone. Hector Hall stood up and walked to the window. The sun was going down. On the street below younger children were out with their parents going door to door for treats. The older kids would be out later. It was a heartwarming, innocent, Norman Rockwell moment. So why couldn't he shake the feeling of dread deep in his gut that something was about to go desperately wrong.

So do you need to roll a successful to hit roll to tag someone?

Well, still need to finalize my feats, but here's my 600 point team

E Arcane 88
V Zatanna 55
V Circe 99
E Dr. Fate 113
V Enchantress 75
E Jinx 48
V Demon 119

597 points

WOOT WOOT!!!!!!! :P sorry.... feeling kinda happy today... my BF proposed to me....

Sweet....you're a lucky guy!

Congrats. Lone Wolf. Wishing you much happiness.

Okay for feats, here's what I've decided:

Unstoppable (Demon) 5
Damage Shield (Dr. Fate) 10
Sidekick (Dr. Fate & Zatanna) 10
Sabotage (Dr. Fate) 20

Sabotage should keep you from being annoying and copying my Mystics TA. Loading up the feats on Fate, admittedly but he's the best choice for most of them.

And for the observers, by mutual agreement, Flyingicarus and I have agreed that it is only appropriate to use the BFC Astral Plane for this battle.

To answer your question ---YES you must first do damage before you tag someone. Unless you disagree...I figure this adds a little challenge.

Wow, it seems like most of the figures are up. I certainly am looking forward to the Avengers game.

I still need to look at feats, sorry, I desperately want to do this game but setting it up has been a challenge. :

Dr. Strange FF V 110
Scarlet Witch FF V 62
Shaman V 74
Dormammu 206
Baron Mordo 101
Lorelei E 52

603 total

Not sure I'm totally satisfied here but what can I do?.

The Scarlet Witch walks into Stephen Strange's welcoming Sanctom Sanctorum. She senses something amiss. As she turns she sees Alpha Flights' Shaman.

"Do you feel it, Scarlet Witch? Something in this residence is ill," Shazam says reading the air around him.

"Ah, just as I feel it...it passes..." he continues, "It must be my mistake."

"Maybe..." Wanda answers. Both head into the residence unaware that a magical calling is pulling them there....with many others. It was certain to lead to an explosive Halloween night. Characteristically the winds howls.

DUDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IM A GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WAY TO BE A JERK!!!!! LOOK @ MY SIGNATURE!!!!!!!!!!!!! :-P

Oh gosh-----------SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooo sorry. Color me embarrassed. Congrats anyway!!!!

its kewl.... apology accepted.... i dont know how to post pictures on here, or i would post the pics we took together when he proposed... it was so romantic... her had the ring hidden in the cake, and had the chef bring it, and before i started eating it, he said to me "we need to talk" in the i'm-gonna-break-up-with-you way... and i started getting worried and then he proposed and i am so happy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!

Wow...I hadn't realized how many good Marvel mages there are...

I just saw that I missed Loki, (LOKI!!!), Diablo, Magik ...can you up your team or are you even interested in this idea?? I may need to tweak a bit if not.

Nah, I'm good where I am. I understand that we need to do damage to a figure before they can be tagged, but does the act of tagging itself require a to hit roll, or do I just have to say I'm tagging you take an action and it's done?
