Hello one and all, welcome to another flyingicarus & Gargantua production.

With the large number of Batman sets that came out end of last year, we started a series of games to give as many of the pieces as we could a trial run. When Amazing Spider-Man came out we still weren't through all the Batman figures, so we did a couple of mixed games. This will be the first game where we drop the Bat portion entirely and went strictly with Spider-Man. (TabApp figures are also acceptable) Each game had 1000 points in characters, 7 of the 8 on board will be from the new sets. We're upping that to 1500 for the last couple games.

Going a bit differently with this we're playing for points in these games. Each koed figure is worth 1/3 of its cost. For example koing the Caped Crusader from this set at 139 points nets you 46 points rounded up.

There will be two options for using these points. First, to be done at the beginning of any turn we can 'unlock' a character. This figure does not count towards our total. We are discounting this unlockable figures who will be older pieces but Spider-Man related. In game one the unlocked opportunities are three times one at 50,75 and 100 points. As an example one might offer Hypertimes' Dr. Harleen Quinzel for 25 points (this is all opponent driven).

The other way to use points is at the beginning of each game. At that time you choose your 1000 points in characters for that game. You may also use the points earned to 'upgrade' a character. If you begin game one with Batman 1R at 100 points, you can trade him in for the 200 point version by keeping the original in your draft and using 100 upgrade points. You can also use these points for feats, utility belts, relics/resources and vehicles.

Onto the game!

I'm carrying over a measly 35 points to beef up my team. I'll take the Doc Ock arms, and then Feat up my team as so:

Dracula (Automatic Regeneration) 214
Spider-Man (ASM201-Marvel Knights) 75
Vampire 43
Zuvembie x3 75
Misty Knight (Lucky Break) 70

I owe you a 25 pointer, and will give you LE Adrian Toomes, a cheap taxi.

Initiative roll is 7.

"Wait, they're on our side?" Spider-Man whispered to the Invisible Woman, pointing at the monsters.

"I have excellent hearing, you know," Dracula said.

"One thing I've learned fighting with the Fantastic Four, sometime your biggest enemies are your strangest allies," Sue told him.

"You can say that again," Misty Knight said.

"And I think we can keep them in line, in case their baser instincts take over," Colleen added.

"I think you would have more than you bargained for against me," Dracula pointed out.

"I don't know," Dagger added. "I don't imagine my light knives would do you a lot of good."

Inish is 3, de map is yours.

"I'm really not sure about this one," Spider-Man says.

"What's the problem?" Johnny Blaze asks.

"You're about the friendliest face here," he says, "That's the problem."

"We're not liking it any better than you, Spider-Punk," Shocker says.

"Well, you have a couple more pals," Spider-Girl says swinging in with Daimon Hellstrom.

"Yes," Hellstrom says, none too pleased about the situation, "Hello, Stephen."

"Welcome, Daimon. How is Patsy's these days?" Strange asks.

"Argh, why do you think I'm here?" he replies, looking even less pleased.

"Bah, these super-heroes are as boring as they are annoying," Vulture says to Jackal and Shocker.

"No Vulture," Jackal replies, "Boring wins."

You have to be on a Relic's space to try for it, not adjacent. Mentioned that last game. Usuall that means only one person gets to try per turn, at least without some tricky TK moves.

Hmmmmmm.....suggestion: since we're making a house rule that it doesn't take an action to attempt for the relic, let's also make it that you need to be adjacent to the relic, also. I know both of these are major changes for use of relics but otherwise, they're a lot of work to get to use and we will probably rarely use them.

Anyway, think about it, because we will be playing relics through the World's Mightiest game.

Well I think having them be difficult to use is kind of the point. They generally give pretty good benefits for a pretty cheap cost, so I think making you wave to work for them is not such a bad thing. (Though why they threw the resources like the Gauntlet and the Belt at a very small cost is anyone’s guess.) It would move things along faster I guess. Otherwise it would mean move a guy on, he tries to get it fails moves off. Next turn someone else moves on, etc. Which might stall the beginning of the game. But sometimes I wonder if we make it too easy on ourselves.

If we decide to go with it that way, then I would have a request that we start over. I would have placed my relic differently, and quite possibly my whole starting line-up, and played my first turn differently too.

I guess I see relics as a privilege you pay for, like feats. You don't generally get any better results from most of them than a feat.

I'm open either way, if you want to keep true to tone then sure, we'll stick to the original idea. Frankly though between the effort to get on the object (1 turn) and roll for it (2nd turn)...and then only 33% chance to hit, it will really slow things down.

Either way, we'd have to start again. Up to you.

Okay, going back to set up, I'll swap Drac with the Vampire for starting positions.

Drac tries to pick up the Arms, and we know he failed. He will move to E21

Colleen tries for them. Gets 2. Colleen to J19

Misty to pick them up. Gets 4. Misty to I16

Dagger to K22

Sue TKs Spider-Man to J22

Spidey tries to get the Arms. Gets 4. It's never this hard for you.

Since we corrected the relic issue to do what I was doing anyway, do I need to redo my turn since I was doing it the way we agreed to? It's no biggie if I do. And if so, Spidey doesn't get a token for the attempt, remember? (Yes, I know we're making it too easy, otherwise we discussed how move consuming it is).

If I don't, here's that turn again:

OK, it's eye-time.

Daimon tries for the eye. 3. He don't git it.

Johnny tries, too. Another 3.

Spidey rolls for the eye. Gets 6.
