X-Games, Volume 2 [Archive]

Gargantua

03/20/2011, 16:48

Time for a brand new set and a new series of games to celebrate them for Gargantua and I.

As far as the game construct goes we have 5 series of 1000 point games followed by a finale using all figures from those 5 games. As usual we get 8 figures on board at a time (multiple figures like Madrox count as 1) and replace as they fall. Throughout the series we can each any feat twice. We've added a mechanic we've used before---'Crazy 8s'. In this game it works this way: make an attack roll. If it's an 8, complete the action. Then roll an 8 sided die. Your figure exchanges with the opponents figure equaling that rolled number (with any action /damage tokens on it). Each game with we both will have a team leader, that figure alone cannot be switched (Professor X and Magneto are among them). At each games end the 'exchanged' figures go into a pot and are divided up, winner getting first choice, if it's an uneven number that final figure goes to the winner.

Our story posts reflect a kind of Age of Apocalypse type of world where two mutant leaders (Magneto for Gargantua, Xavier for me) war with their own factions of mutants and mutant-sympathizers. This allows us to focus on mutant characters while throwing in non-mutants.

"All right, lock and load people," Cable ordered.

"I love it when he gets all military," Deadpool giggled.

"D'you see anything in your cards, Tarot?" Cannonball asked.

"I see death and destruction," she said.

"Uh, for us or them?" the Scarlet Spider asked.

"Both. But foreknowledge of the ultimate victor has been denied to me."

"Ain't that always the way," the Human Torch said. "You're sure you're not just telling a little white lie to keep us all from running for the hills?"

"Johnny!" the Scarlet Witch scolded him.

"What? It could be!"

"It doesn't matter. If it is my fate to die here today, I will die for the cause," Gladiator said. "But I don't think I will."

"Good. The rest of you should have the same confidence," Cable said. "We can beat these guys. We will beat these guys."

"Nice to see you as leader of this troop, Betts," Rogue says placing an arm around Psylocke, "Ah hope it works out better than that Siege Perilous thing."

"Everyone survived that, right?" Psylocke assures.

"Barely, mon chere, barely," Gambit says.

"Look at them...joking with each other when we got a foll war on here," notes Black Cat.

"Kinda relaxes you, doesn't it?" Gee asks.

"I'm ready to knock some heads open myself," Juggernaut says.

"Rest assured, your might will be required here today," Dr. Strange says omniously, "Be prepared to battle friend and foes alike, X-Men."

"I have no friends," Danger says, "Only my programming places me here."

"That's be me," Cypher says, "I'm your programming and you're darned right you'll be here!".

"That's telling her, Doug," Karma says to her fellow New Mutant.

"All this banter is well and good," Northstar says, "But I'm a speedster, when will I get to see some action?".

"Well Jean-Paul," Psylocke says, "How about now?".

So all of my team borrows Johnny's FF ability in addition to the X-Men ta thanks to Cypher.

Strange rolls for perplex: 5. He ups his dv to 20 and uses the X-Men ta as well as defend. Not that it matters this turn.

I'm really enjoying these games. It's definitely not a quickie kind of thing, though. Man, do you do that stealth trick a lot....

Strange rolls for perplex: 5. Nice. Gee tks him to E19. With his seeing thru stealth he targets Wanda and Cable. Ups his damage to 5. Rolls 5. Tough call. That's enough to hit Wanda for 5 but not to hit Cable. Wanda could reroll but at the potential of hitting Cable....I'll have to check with you here.

I totally forgot about Scarlet Witch's Ultimates ta which Cypher couild have given most of my team. It's too late to change it now but wish that I had realized it.

OK, Doc shares his dv with everyone near him.

I have a chance to finish off Wanda, might as well try to.

Psylocke tks Karma to E18.

A rare thing for Karma, she'll actually make an attack not try to mc the Witch. Needs 3 , rolls 6. She's down.

I'll add Cypher moves in place.

"First thing first, let's remove their random element," Psylocke says looking to Dr. Strange.

"Already in the works," he replies.

He meets the Scarlet Witch on the astral plane. "What am I doing here, Stephen?".

"Meeting your defeat. Consider it an honor that I am so impressed by your power Wanda, that I need to deal with you first."

"I think you'll find my chaos magic harder to conquer than that," she replies setting up a mystical defense.

"It's a good thing he's not alone," Psylocke says as she strikes Wanda in her armored form with a psychic knife stunning her.

Dr. Strange takes her down with a blast.

"Forgive me Wanda, truly I respect you."

"Indeed," Betsy says, "But now we've others to attend to."

Stupid Doctor Stupid Strange. Sitting there with his stupid 20DV Defending with Black Stupid Cat waiting there to stupid PC my attack rolls. Grr.

Sorry. Just looking at this with a "how the hell am I supposed to deal with this?" kind of frustration. Okay, step back a second. If I can't necessarily hit Strange right off, I can deal with the second part of that problem.

Ahab RS to N13 to hit Black Cat, AV9 on DV17. Gets 7. Tarot says 7.

Cannonball grabs Scarlet Spider. Transporter Move & Attack to H15 to attack Black Cat, AV10- 2 on DV17 +2. And he gets a 2. Last thing I needed. Yet somehow appropriate when attacking the Black Cat. He ends in I14, with SS in H15

Incidentally, I never chose Deadpool's SP. I'll give him the RCE and CR combo.

"They're guarding Strange," Cable frowned.

"Perhaps we should deal with the Black Cat then. I don't like her bad luck powers," the Goblin Queen suggested.

"I think I got a fish in here somewhere," Deadpool said, patting his pockets.

"Not that kind of...oh never mind," Ahab gave up and rounded the corner, throwing his energy harpoon at the Black Cat. She leapt gracefully over it.

"Come on, Ah'll give you a lift," Cannonball said, grabbing the Scarlet Spider. With that he blasted off at the Black Cat. The Scarlet Spider had to pull up his legs to avoid hitting a cotton candy machine. The shift in his weight threw off Cannonball's trajectory and he ended up crashing into one of the carnival game booths instead.

"I love my job," Felicia giggled.

"Keep talking like that so I can have good reason to smack the smirk right outta ya."

"Now now boys, ah reckon we got enough on our hands without infighting, kay?" Rogue says trying to catch Cannonball off guard but to no avail.

Gladiator on Juggernaut, AV12 on DV17. Gets 8. Don't want you getting Gladiator. Tarot rerolls that, and gets a 6. Still a hit so Felicia has a say too. Rolls a 9. 4 more to Juggernaut after Invulnerable.

"Juggernaut," Cable grumbled. "What have I got that I can deal with him?" he asked himself rhetorically as he selected an attachment for his gun. He fired off a small missile that blew up when it struck Juggernaut's chest. "Don't let up!" Calbe ordered.

"I will not," Gladiator said, beams flashing from his eyes, striking the Juggernaut with enough power to sink a small island.

"And leave it to me, I'll finish him off!" the Human Torch said. "This one's for Spidey!"

"They may have hurt me," the Juggernaut growled. "But you? I don't think so."

Gee tks Karma to H21.

Karma on Gladiator. Needs 6, rolls 7. He's mced. Needs 5 to hit Cable, rolls 4. Oh come on....

Rogue on Cannonball. She's got his wp so takes no pushing damage. Needs 7, rolls 10. 3 to him as he can no longer use imperv this turn.

Juggy on Cannonball. Needs 6 to ko him, gets 7.

Strange makes his dv 19.

Doug to E20, boosts Stephen's dv to 20.

Stephen defends Karma and Gambit.

"I'm gonna kill you, kill you all!" Juggernaut says.

"Uh-oh," Cannonball says.

"Sorry shugah," she says kissing Sam really quickly and handing him over to Juggernaut, in the process stealing his powers so he's vulnerable.

Juggernaut blusters through him. "Thanks Rogue, now's he's hardly worth the trouble."

"Save it for Gladiator, then," she says.

Karma reaches into Gladiator's mind to pull out his darkest fear: Phoenix.

"Away Phoenix! This time, I'll defeat you!".

Cable undoes Karma's work. "Nice try, kiddo, but you'll need to work harder to get the jump on me."

The yellow areas are indoor terrain on an outdoor map. You'd count the yellow lines as blocking terrain. So Karma doesn't really have LOF to Gladiator where she is. From H23 she could manage it looking straight through both openings, but not from where she is. But then Gee wouldn't really have LOF to TK her there. We'll let it go. With all the movement that's going to go down, they probably won't both be the same place by the next time anyway.

Not much I can accomplish without pushing. Tarot to O13. That's a push, but Ahab needs her LOF.

Ahab on Black Cat, AV9 on DV17. Gets 7. Rerolls for Tarot, gets 6. Guess she wasn't that much of a help after all.

Don't forget to show Tarot's push.

Strange rolls for perplex: 6.

Gee pushes to tk Danger to I18.

Danger on Gladiator. Needs 6, rolls 10. I imagine he simply uses protected and takes a token.

Northstar to P14 attacking Tarot. Needs 8, rolls 12. Should've done it to Gladiator darn it. She's out. He's...well, one big target.

Lastly Gambit rs to I16 attacking Ahab. Needs 7, rolls 5. Danger makes it 8 ( 2 4s). 3 to Ahab and kb to P12 for a 4th and he hits the wall. Uh-oh. Gambit to you, and since I roll a 5, I get Johnny Storm. So much for my guys borrowing the FF ta.

Johnny rs to N17 and pulses. Rolls 7. 1 to Jean-Paul, Cable, Deadpool, Gladiator, Goblin Queen.

Strange ups his dv to 20.

Cypher makes Juggy's dv up 1.

No time for a story post, darn it.

Tarot was using PC and could have used it on Northstar's attack. Reroll would have been 9. Still hits, but only for 2, so no KO. Also Ahab's Toughness makes Gambit's Damage 2 and no damage from the KB,

You've pretty well dictated most of my moves. Goblin Queen on Jean-Paul, AV9 on DV16. Gets 6. Tarot makes it 10. Danger can't help. 2 to Northstar after Toughness.

Cable has to try to finish him, AV10 on DV15. Gets 9. Stealth, so again no help from Danger and he's KOd.

Deadpool Perplexes his Damage to 3 and attacks Danger, AV11 on DV17. Gets 7. Stealth again. With his RCE that's 3 to Danger after Invulnerable.

"Remy!" Rogue cried, "you're going over to them? How could you?"

"Sorry chere, but Magneto offers a better retirement plan. Wit' him, it's possible I live to retirement."

"Bad decision, Northstar, coming back here," Madeline told him, hitting him with a telekinetic ram, sending him right back into Cable's fists.

"I think he's realized the error of his ways," Cable said, letting the now limp Northstar drop to the ground.

"I'm sorry, but I just don't think it would have worked between us," Deadpool said, slipping up to Danger and jamming something into her metal frame. "I mean the whole homicidal think I think I could live with, but you just have no sense of humor." He leapt back to safety behind the shooting gallery. "And besides you're going to be smithereens in a couple seconds." Even as he said so, the bomb that he had planted went off.

Missed this one. The lack of ko to Roulette is gonna cost me.

No question I'll push the Torch. He'll rs to P14, probably committing suicide, and pulses. Gets 11. Damn good roll. He takes 1 for pushing. Kos Roulette. Every single one of your folks takes a click.

Strange rolls for perplex: 6. Sometimes I think the die roller gets stuck. Just don't want it stuck on 2s like the Old/New Gods game.

Can Karma mc Gladiator? Only needs a 5, gets 7. Should I have him come out of hiding or hit Cable? The latter...needs 7, rolls 8. Sweet. Cable takes 5 after toughness, avoiding all those messy imperv and regen clicks, 6 total this turn so he's on his 7th click now. If we keep Cable/Deadpool and Gambit/Rogue respectively should we consider using the duos instead at the end?

Can't let Deadpool sit there on an auto-regen click. Juggs to K15 needing 6 to hit Deadpool. Rolls 3. Danger makes it 7, 2 to Deadpool who's on his 4th click after the pulse wave.

Doug makes Rogue's damage 4 and she'll charge to K16 to finish him off. Needs 7, gets 8. Ew....so he's koed, Rogue is yours and I roll to get Cable who's saved. Hmmmm....might not have minded that.

Cat to K16, stealthing Rogue somewhat.

Psylocke to E16.

Strange can only boost his dv to 20, flies Karma to I16, he's I17. Uses defend on Karma, Danger and Rogue.

"You guys all r---" Cable begins but is struck by Gladiator before he can answer. "You turn on us, too?".

"No," Karma says, "That would be my doing."

"Gotta admit, C, the girl's easy to overlook," Deadpool says and turns to her, "No offense. I won't overlook ya, I promise."

Rogue and Juggernaut pummel him. "Ah'm hurt. You've overlooked me, shugah."

I have dominated the first two games. I really think the lack of pc hurt the first game for you.

I drafted Gee so Psylocke could be only a back-up tker, now she's relagated to that spot and that means she doesn't get to see action. That's not Psylocke for me.

So....Gladiator needs to break away from Torch. Rolls 4, it worked.

You know, I know I'm doing well at these games. It almost makes me nervous. Like I need to get aggressive about characters picks in drafts and re-drafts. I mean, you could have all the killers pieces for the finale. Then I think, WTF, this is all for fun.

Strange rolls for perplex: 2. Normal version.

Karma to mc Gladiator. Needs 5, rolls 6. He'll charge to N14 going for Cable. Needs 7, rolls 6. Danger makes it 5.

Johnny goes ee on Gob Queen. Rolls 11. It's a grand thing, this. With his sp as it is it does 2 to Gambit and 2 to her.

Black Cat to N13, more a distraction than anything else.

Strange rolls to hand out incap tokens to Cable and Gladiator. Rolls 7. That pushes Cable for 1 with a token/click. Gladiator just takes a token.

Doug makes Rogue's damage 4. She'll charge to M13 going for Glady. Needs 6, rolls 8. He takes 2. She swaps with Gladiator....normally this would be a good move but considering how much I beat him up....

Gotta push Gladiator then. Needs 8 to hit Rogue, rolls 2. Couldn't be worse for me.

Danger on Cable. Needs 8, rolls 8. Did I just say it couldn't be worse??? Cable's out. Exchange roll is with Cable, she's safe.

Side note: when I thought of this as a crazy 8s game I figured the switch part would be easy as I thought we'd play 8 at a time. We obviously aren't. Here's how I am doing my rolls, whenever I can I include the non-allowed figure for the exchange in the roll (for example, Cable or Psylocke in this game) however if my die roller doesn't fit them I exclude them. So far I haven't run into any problems but I suspect I will...let me know how you're doing it.

"Gotta trust me, sweetheart."

"Why start now?" she jokes.

"It's always fun to try out new things, non?" he grins.

Rogue slams the Torch but the Black Cat leaps in her way. "Don't get crazy girl, he's just a guy."

"Don't make me hit you, shugah," she tells her.

"Good luck with that one," she smiles.

Before they can go further Cable topples over.

I automatically exclude any ineligible figures, Leaders, KOd guys. Or I did, on what was I think the one time I rolled an 8. Haven't actually gotten a lot of those and when I do, it's with the guys who're immune.

Johnny can't use his EE if he's based. He can't make any ranged actions when based. So Gobline Queen takes the 2, but not Gambit.

Gambit to Break from Black Cat. Gets 3. Has to attack her then, AV9 on DV17 +2. Gets 3.

Ahab on Gladiator, AV9 on DV15. Gets 6. With Psychic Blast, 2 more to him, and he's really little more than a glorified pog now.

Rogue will pick up Black Cat's Combat Reflexes.

Rogue steals Combat Reflexes from Black Cat. As she has no action tokens, that deals Black Cat 1 unavoidable Damage. I think that's going to be the only way I"m going to be able to hit her this game.

Rogue breakaway? 3. Stays and attacks Gladiator then. AV10 on DV14. Gets 9. Rerolls for Black Cat. Gets 7. 2 to Gladiator after Toughness, but sadly that doesn't even finish him.

Psylocke on Gambit. Needs 9, rolls 5.

Danger on Gambit. Needs 9, rolls 11. Gambit takes 2.

Johnny rolls to break. 4. RS to O11 attacking Rogue. Needs 7 + 1, rolls 6.

"The end is nigh, prepare for it," an astral form of Dr. Strange says striking out at Rogue. Even her strength cannot stop her from falling against his mystic might.

"Chere!" Gambit calls out.

Psylocke clobbers him psychically, "You're getting sloppy, Cajun."

"And you," Karma says, "Are presumptous. Gambit, I'm with you."

"You sure you don' wanna swap sides? Pretty li'l thief like you, you an' I could make a great team," Gambit flirted with the Black Cat.

"Thanks, but there's a little spider that's already stolen my heart," the Black Cat replied. "And besides, your side doesn't seem to be doing too well."

"Oh, but t'ings can change in no time," Gambit said, lunging at her with his staff. He stepped on a banana peel and barely stopped himself from falling on his butt.

"Not when luck isn't on your side."

Doug to H21, makes Strange's dv 17.

Johnny pushes on Karma. Needs 6, rolls 6 ( 2 3s). 3 to her plus a 4th for hitting the wall. 1 to Johnny.

Cat pushes on Doc. Needs 8, gets 9. It's 1 for 1 but that puts Doc off his perplex unless he uses his protected. Uses her feat to put him in M14.

Okay, I guess I'm ready to concede on this one. If Strange were still on his first click, it'd be worth playing out more, but you having knocked him off of it, and me having to pass this turn, I think it's time.

So the figures that ended the game (or were KOd) on the opposite side were:

Johnny Storm, Rogue, Gladiator, Ahab, Karma, Dr. Strange

We never really determined how to choose who picks first, but it strikes me that as the victor of the game you deserve the spoils. We normally build in some kind of bonus for the winner of each individual game for when we get to the final, and we didn't do that this time. This could be it.
