Ok. Since we are up against a demon. I'll try Ra the Sun God.

And that is that.  Team roster is full.

Let's talk environments.  Thematically and avoiding anything we just did, the Realm of Discord or Megalopolis would both make sense, but pick whatever interests you.


The ruins of the lost city of Atlantis, home to amazing relics and the terrifying Kraken.


The home city of Legacy and the Freedom Five.  A shining vast metropolis.


Wagner Mars Base, a research and military base located on Mars, it is the first stop for would-be conquerors from the stars.


A land lost in time, where dinosaurs and other ancient creatures still live.


Often known by it's nickname of Crook city, it is full of crime and curruption and is the home of Wraith and Darkwatch.


More than just strictly legal production and research goes on here.  Beware of dangerious chemicals and mutated vermin.


A strange magical dimension where the laws of physics are constantly in flux


The tomb of Anubis, Egyptian death god, full of traps trails and the occassional reward.


Time has gone completely bannannas here.  Creatures and places form throughout time and space are all mixed together, and that can't be good for the space-time continuum.


FILTER's interdimensional prison, where the worst of the worst are held.  The prison is ungoing a riot and the heroes are unfortunately not any more popular with the guards than they are with the prisoners.


A time Portal has connected the present with Chronoranger's home down, right in the middle of a gunfight with a family of bandits.


In the far future that Chrono-Ranger ended up in, strange cryptids have multiplied and destroyed all human life.  Only Chronoranger, lost through a time portal, and the eternal warrior Haka are still alive.


The headquarters of the Freedom Five and target of villains looking to get ahead.  It was, in fact, designed with that in mind.


Baron Blade's giant craft have been loaned out to villains of many kinds, along with their Blade Batalion crews.


The homeworld of General Voss, Dok'Thorath has been thrown into chaos following his death.  The rebels want his freedom.  The military wants control.  The now leaderless gene-bound creatures want only to feed on both sides.


Far out in space lies the Enclave of the Endless, a refuge where the last members of dead species can live out away from the ravages of time and the grasp of death.  The mistress of this place cares nothing for good or evil.  Wonders can be found here, but horrors too.


The fourth incarnation of Omnitron is a barely sentient automated robot factory, trying to piece itself together.  The dangers are extreme, but the promises of Omnitron-based technology are enough to lure many villains here, and draw many heroes to fight them.

Im okay with Realm of Discord.(Omnitron-4 also sounds interesting)

Being a street-level hero, I lean a bit more towards Megaopolis, but I'm cool with Realm of Discord as well.

I also tend towards the more grounded settings, so Megalopolis gets my vote.

Outcast

Besides something that we haven't tried before, Realm of Discord seems to fit the villain we are fighting.

But i'm ok with Megalopolis if that's what you guys want. (There's a particular monster in the Realm of Discord that we could do without anyway so... :P)

catwhowalksbyhimself

Looks like Megalopolis is the most requested.

Don't know why I haven't been posting some of the official story info before, but here's some more on Gloomy!

QuoteGloomWeaver is an extra-dimensional demon worshiped by many Voodoo cults and primitive tribes. He feeds on the gloom and despair of mankind, awarding dark magic to those who worship him in return for their sacrifices, encouraging them to inflict suffering on the world around them to feed his powers. Although he often sends his thoughts and power into this world for brief periods of time, he has failed to permanently breach the veil that separates him from the feast of desperate souls that our world offers.

But that is about to change. Terrible battles between villains and heroes have grown more frequent over the past few decades - the gloom and despair their battles have wrought have increased his power. Cultists have begun collecting the terrible relics of GloomWeaver: the Pouch of Bones, the Drum of Despair, Grimoire of Curses. If all three are brought together and GloomWeaver is invoked, the seals will be broken! The world's greatest heroes gather, intent on stopping the demon's plot, but GloomWeaver is pleased - their strife and anguish will feed his power, and spur his cultists on to bring discord and despair into this world, permanently. And with the heroes defeated, GloomWeaver and his worshipers will be free to spread gloom, despair, and death across the multiverse indefinitely.

The heroes have a special win condition--have all three Relics in the trash at once, and Gloomweaver's attempt to enter our world fails.

Can Mr. Fixer, Omnitron-X, Wraith, Guise, and Ra stop Gloomweaver before he enters our world?  Do any of them expect him to use Spite as his backup plan?  Who can tell?  What we can tell is there is one hero here who really doesn't want to be.

QuoteThe old mechanic that runs "Slim's Auto Shop" only answers to "Slim". There was a time when he went by "H. R. Walker" - everyone just called him "H.R." back then. But those were simpler times. H.R. used to run a martial arts school for kids, most of whom never paid for their classes, but about 25 years ago, a group of his students were killed for standing up for themselves, gunned down by drug dealers for being in the wrong place at the wrong time. It wasn't even mentioned in the papers. No one cared. H.R. closed down the school the next day, telling students, "The only way to stay safe is to not fight back."

Now, Slim just runs his auto shop, and everyone in the neighborhood knows it's the best place to get your car fixed. Slim doesn't use the fancy diagnostic computer like the big shops, but he always gets the cars running better than before, and doesn't charge much at all. Few people even remember that H.R. ever existed, much less the martial arts school.

However, the pushers and dealers are expanding their territory, and there's been a rash of criminal activity on Slim's block. He maintains a policy of "Don't fight back. Give them what they want." But his shop assistant, Charlie, has been getting pushed around lately by some unsavory thugs, and "Don't fight back" won't protect him for long...

I can take that last zombie hit.

Whats the plan? Focus on Zombies or Grimoire?

Seems to me that taking out the zombies would only take a round if we all went for it, but that Grimoire is going to do our heads in pretty quickly.

Edit: I just looked at Gloomweaver's cards. They're almost all targets with HP, consisting of relics, zombies, voodoo pins and cultists. In general, as long as the zombies are kept out of the picture, Gloomweaver won't do a whole lot of damage unless we opt not to discard or destroy cards, so as long as we're careful we can steady the flow of damage. If Omnitron can get set up right, we can take out zombies almost automatically and worry about the relics.

I couldn't spot any way he can pull a relic from the trash, and he only has one of each of the three in his deck. So if we destroy one quite quickly, he shouldn't ever flip - did I miss something there?

So my guesswork strategy would be to prioritise:
Zombies > Voodoo Pins > Cultists > Relics

Deaths Jester

I thought we still had to decide which version of Wraith and such was being used. Or did I miss that?

I'm fine with classic Wraith if it's easier.

And as to Reep's post, focusing on the relics seems to be the best bet.

Hmmm...i'm not sure but i think the zombies attack deal (H/5 heroes) less 2...so their attacks could be 3hp damage each.

Reep's idea to target the zombies first might be a good idea.

Just a question about the relic "Grimoire of Curses". If at the start of the villains turn (which will be next round), all of us were to discard 1 card each, we would not receive any damage? (h/5 heroes) less (5 cards discarded) = zero?

Gloomweaver will start healing like crazy once all 3 of his relics are out in play. So it's also vital we could at least send 1 relic to the trash. So that doesn't happen.

Cultists can also deal some good damage to us as well, and some of them can revive zombies. Or just by destroying a cultist brings out a zombie. So it's hard to ignore them too.

Voodoo pins  can deal a much higher damage too.

I dunno, Reeps plan seems to be ok to me. We'll just have to take out as much damage dealing villain cards out there and maybe try to control their numbers i guess. Zombies seems to be easier to take out given their low hp.

There's also the Vast Following card we have to be wary of. It can shuffle then search the top (h/5) cards of Gloomweaver's trash pile?! for relics/cultists. Hmmm... if that's the case, it could revive a relic/cultist we just destroyed. Making our efforts to put it there in there go to waste.

I decided not to bother with it this time.  The promo are virtually never chosen.  I can resume that next time though.

Also, I have played again Gloomweaver many times and have seen him flip exactly never.  Keep the relics down and it won't happen.

So revising the zombie strike, Ra takes it, then Fixer, Guise, Ra again, then Wraith.

That makes it Mr. Fixer's turn.

Man, I did not realise that Vast Following took from the trash. Looks like he has three instances of that card as well.

Outcast: Yes, if we all discarded on the villain round, the grimoire would deal us no damage. However, a lot of his other cards have a similar effect - so if we went for 100% no damage, we'd be rapidly out of cards. So I guess it's a case of discarding enough each round to keep the damage slow. I'll keep a hold of Salvage Yard for a while so that we can all reclaim any equipment cards - lower risk there.

I'm going for the zombies. We've got to keep Gloomweaver's damage output low so we can control it.

For now, Mister Fixer will play Tire Iron, then use Strike to knock out one of the zombies.

I forgot about Omni's power. He could load up Gloomweaver's trash pretty quickly to lessen the chance of vast following pulling back any relics. Cool!
