And here we have another Gargantua and flyingicarus production. Welcome! Basic idea is we're playing six games of 1000 points each (actually each must average 950-1050) based on random mini-games we wanted to try (ex. Hot vs Cold, Swords & Arrows vs Guns & Blasters). We've predrafted 2/3 of the characters. We're predrafting 30 feats (allowing ten mystery feats---a mystery feat can be one of the predrafted feats but can only be used once). Winner gets to choose the pairing & initiative, loser gets map choice. The winner will also get a prize (TBD) that can be used in the finale. The finale is an all out brawl using 8 figures at a time with our standard replacement rules.

The pre-determined 30 feats are:

Feats: Nanobots, Thunderbolts, Stunning Blow, Armor Piercing, Protected, Drag, Pummel, Ambidexterous, Mental Shields, Trick Shot, Automatic Regeneration, Brilliant Tactician, Vendetta, Force Field, Camouflage, Dissent, Inside Information, Fortitude, Pounce, Shellhead, Saboteur, Siphon Power, Lucky Break, Repulsor Shield, Extended Range, Endurance, LMD, Elite Sniper, Alpha Flight, Contingency Plan

We're rolled for initiative on game 1. The first pairing was Hot vs Cold...where the cool prevailed. Robots easily triumphed over armor. Marvel & DC's Mystics are battling in a nearby post.

And here we have Silver Age Heroes vs. Villains:

New York City. 1968. A gathering. Central Park. Balloons. Amusement rides. Cotton candy. At the podium; Anthony Stark, and known by very few as Iron Man.

"Once again ladies and gentleman, thank you in participating in the Maria Stark Foundation's annual function for children with cerebral palsy. Now, as promised, our entertainment. A brand new generation of heroes!".

The crowd roars.

"From the Avengers: the mighty Thor, the Black Panther, King of the Jungle, the fastest man alive Quicksilver and the wondrous Wasp!".

The four move to the podium and wave.

"Yon Evil Eye piece. I pray to Odin that it is not here amongst these fine people of Midgard!" says Thor.

The Wasp buzzes around him and lands on his shoulders. "Gosh, you're just dreamy!".

"Do you have to do that every time?" asks Quicksilver.

Stark continues. "From the Fantastic Four, the mighty Thing!".

The Thing moves up to the podium and thinks to himself. "Lookit those upstart Avengers, so full of themselves. Not like us. Of course the Torch can be a little hothead. And Stretcho can be a real brainiac and Sue..." the Thing sniffs. "Man, I miss those guys!".

"The strongest girl in the world, Supergirl!" Stark continues.

Supergirl flies to the podium using her x-ray vision. "Darn. No sign of the Evil Eye in this crowd. I'll have to dig deeper!".

"Two of our most independent heroes: Daredevil and Spider-Man!".

"Catching anything with your radar senses, hornhead?" Spider-Man asks.

"Nothing but crowds really aren't my thing. Any luck with your spidey-senses?" he asks.

"Nada," the Web-Slinger replies.

"And from the Justice League of America," Stark ends, "The Flash, the Atom and Green Lantern."

The Green Lantern turns his ring on the audience as if it were for fun. It's actually a search. "Nothing. Whenever it is, it's hidden well from me."

"We didn't find anything either but Flash is more focused on other things," says Atom.

"Fastest man alive," he guffaws at Tony Stark's statement about Quicksilver. "I'll show him fastest man alive!".

And my team. I'm dropping Raksor to make up for the points confusion in game 3.

"I fail to understand why we're allying ourselves with them," Mastermind said. "What about the rest of the Brotherhood?"

"At ease, Mastermind," Magneto told him. "The search for our portion of the Evil Eye is paramount. Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch are lost to us permanently it seems. Unus and the Blob appear to be in hiding from the authorities after a little indpendent spree of their own. And as for the Toad, well, no great loss there. Yet we have found other, worthy allies for the time being even if they don't share our ultimate goal of world domination."

"We don't share your goal of world domination for mutants perhaps," Despero corrected him, "but that doesn't mean I won't conquer this pathetic mudball."

"Hey! That's our pathetic mudball you're talking about," Electro protested.

"Bah, I don't care who's in charge, as long as I'm comfortably well off," Mysterio said.

"And as long as we get Spider-Man's head," the Green Goblin added.

"Here, here!" the Vulture chimed in.

"You can have your Spider-Man, as long as I get the Flash," Professor Zoom said.

"Yes, yes, your petty vengeances will all be part of my reward..." Despero started.

"...our reward," Magneto corrected him.

"...our reward to you," Despero continued. "But do not forget Magneto, that it is I who have provided this group with our secret weapon."

"I will destroy the Justice League of America," the Amazo android declared, stepping dramatically from behind a curtain.

"Well, I have to say, I like what that does for our chances," Mysterio laughed.

Been so long since I've worked on this game I kind of forgot what I was planning.

Seems like we're geared up towards another game with maximum carnage right off the bat.

Let's start with Thor. He'll rs to I14 and target Magneto. Needs 5, rolls 6. SS is 2. Magneto is merely pushed for 1 (I assume he burns off his protected).

DD will l/c to K13, stealthed.

Atom brilliant tact the dvs of GL, FLash and himself by + 1.

Flash to G13.

Spider-Man moves Thing to G15, he's G14.

Quicksilver to C15, Wasp to C14.

GL tks Supergirl to J12.

She'll hss to P12, grabbing the object in O11 and hitting Mastermind with it. Needs 6, rolls 7. SS is 6. He's safe but unstealthed. Supergirl ends in O6.

Black Panther can now outwit Mastermind's mind games sp.

"Any hope these guys would surrender?" Spider-Man asks.

"Nay. These men knowest only violence!" Thor says. "And violence is what they shall receive!".

"Magneto meet the mighty Mjolnir!" Thor says as he tosses his hammer at the mutant master.

"I command all things metal, Godling, and as such---" he begins to reply. Yet even his magnetic mastery cannot deter the Asgardian weapon.

Supergirl rushes Mastermind, hiding on the roof. She stops in her tracks. "Why you're just a sniveling little man!" she says seeing the cowering villain.

"Wrong..and wrong again!" he says using illusion he has Supergirl follow a fake Mastermind off the roof.

"I have my eyes on you," the Black Panther says to the now exposed Mastermind.

"Who said that?" Mastermind asks. But the Panther is nowhere to be found.

You were planning something? I was utterly winging it. Mags definitely does the Protected thing. And that look slike N6 for Supergirl. I'm guessing you don't want her on the roof where I can shoot at her.

Mastermind to Incap Supergirl, AV10 on DV18. Gets 6.

He'll Outwit her Imperv

Green Goblin taxis Despero, RS to N10, Despero in O10. Goblin on Supergirl, AV11 on DV18. Gets 9. 4 to her or she pushes to use Protected. I'm guessing the latter.

Mysterio to P11

Zoom to N15

Electro RS to Q13, targets Black Panther, Av10 on DV16. Gets 6. 3 to T'Challa and his Outwit's gone.

"I've never known a girl who didn't cringe at the thought of spiders and snakes," Mastermind said to himself, casting an illusion of an army of those creatures advancing towards Supergirl.

"Then you've never known me," Supergirl said, ignoring the creepy-crawlies.

"How did you...?" Mastermind asked.

"Super hearing," she pointed out. "You might have been mumbling to yourself, but to me, you may just as well have been announcing it with a megaphone."

"Well then these should sound awfully loud!" the Green Goblin said throwing pumpkin bombs at her. She let them explode harmlessly.

"She is formidable, just like her cousin," Despero pointed out.

Meanwhile Electro lobbed a lightning bolt at the Black Panther. "I spy an Avenger," he chuckled as he tagged T'Challa in his hiding spot.

Yup, Supergirl uses her protected. Panther's on hindering, Electro's attack would just miss.

Thor tries his luck on Magneto again. Needs 5, rolls 9. Imperv is 6.

Thing to N16 attacking Zoom. Needs 7, rolls 7. SS is 3. Zoom takes 4 + 1 for rip it up.

Atom brilliant tacticians the defenses of the JLA.

Panther outwits Electro's rce.

"Sorry fancy-feet," the Thing says rushing Zoom, "But I ain't a fan o' you speedsters!".

"Hey!" yells Quicksilver.

"I mean ya slip away like ya some scaredly ol' punk," Thing says.

"Hey!" the Flash yells.

Flash turns to Quicksilver. "He's kind of right." Quicksilver nods.

Trick Shot not only let's you ignore Stealth, it lets you ignore Hindering (superior to Elite Sniper that way) so without the Hindering modifier, Panther should indeed have been hit.

I've got a few things planned, but the dice have really got to be my friends here.

Despero will try to MC Supergirl. AV10 on DV18. Gets 10. So far, so good. Supergirl to I13, yoinks the LO out from under Thor and attacks him with it. AV10 on DV18. Gets 7. She will end in L14 and Despero takes a click for nothing.

Magneto RS to P13, taxiing Mastermind to O14, attacks Thor, AV10 on DV18. Gets 6.

Amazo HSS to N13 to attack Thor, AV10 on DV18. He gets the 8 I've been looking for. 2 to Thor, plus KB to H13. Amazo ends Q14
