mostly i figured i'd do an uno reverse on the gm. We play canon characters wuth our spin the GM would play our creations with their spin perhaps taking our ideas in directions we'd never consider

Ah I see. Interesting idea.

Well, I think we should try to get through this first.

I've given you all a few days to engage in social activities, so I guess it's time to push the the plot forward.

So-- when a player decides to have their character do something insanely dumb that has terrible consequences that their character would be smart enough to know not to do, should I just hit you with the  consequences or double-check they really intend to do that.

Like, for example, if I see an action where someone wants to fly mach 1 about 20" above the heads of a hundred people in a crowded hallway with plenty of glass windows... just hit you with the consequence or point out that someone who can fly that fast would know not to do it that close to people they don't want to hurt?

So I didn't say mach 1. Because that would kill people and crack windows

I said very fast. Very fast covers 100 to 200 mph which isn't an act of stupidity

I would also like to point out comic book physics.

In marvel quicksilver (who runs a lot faster than Monet) can run around at seriously high speed without side effects. So can all the other characters.

Most of 'real world physics' has been left to 'don't worry about it'. If you are going to impose real world physics on us (which I haven't seen in any of the comics with Monet's movements) then that's fine. But please do tell us before you do that.

I mean flying 100 mph with all sorts of signs hanging around is kinda like

I travel by air a LOT. I will be in an airport last week. I will be in one next week

It's more like 'there is a huge open space really high and some people close to the ground'.  This is an international airport. International Air ports are designed for large masses of people to travel through them. The ceilings are typically very high. And there is lots and lots and lots of space.

Some examples

Counterpoint this one is so podunk it has no clear organization to know who's arriving wear lol

You specifically specified "faster than anyone could perceive" and "the speed of a bullet" didn't you?

That expresses a speed that would cause enough air dispersion, at least at the mass of a human body, that it would cause serious harm. You think even a car passing within a foot of you traveling at 100mph would either have no effect or be imperceptible?

I wouldn't even bring it up had you not decided you needed to flex power instead of simply letting everyone just see you flying above at a reasonable speed.

I had no problem with just arriving at the relevant scene in a single post at a regular speed, but then you express something crazy to overflex power and well... that should have a consequence, right?

Well there is still gonna be a consequence of what an enemy can do to a flyer with no brakes

It isn't a matter of the enemy, it's more about considering the environment around you before over-flexing powers.

The enemy you are approaching is presently victimizing your new friend. But is also VERY personal to Monet.

You are our eyes and ears in the game.
You set the 'how comic book is this'.

I'm basing what I've posted and explained the context I expected it to be from what you know. If you want to introduce new 'non comic book physics' and 'the situation is nothing like you expected to be, but I haven't told you' then sure. Actions have consequences.

Post as you want it to be. I will have to work out the answer to those things from your reactions, not from you letting us know before hand, but if that's what you want it's OK.

Lets not fight lets just friendly snark

Happy new year everyone

And you are right Jubilation. Go post whatever works for you GM. It's all cool

I doubt any of us are going to have sex but i think the gane should be upgraded to an Mature rank for language and potential graphic violence.

Well I'm a fan of adult rating for that reason. It just removes most of the issues and it means we don't have to be careful.

I'm not pushing for it or anything, but if you are going 'mature' you might as well go the whole hog. (Unless someone is under 21 or whatever the limit is in which case let's not)

I think a lot of our characters are under 18 so no sex. like i think gm said jubilee is 13 which given her experience with the xmen and solo wolverine adventure personally I'd say 16. But it's a school And I imagine most PCs will be under 18 so mature should do fine until we get put into adults like  Rogue or something.

It's about the players mostly. Adult games have a player age limit not a character age limit. I do take your point about sex, but adult isn't just about sex anyway. Here is a quote.


My problem with mature is that it's easy to accidentally step over the line in describing combat, so I just pretend it's still 'for anyone' usually.

Oh and if your character is under 18 (no matter the rating) it's not just sex. You aren't allowed to describe a crime. Like commiting vandalism in an airport, or jumping over the barriers to get in, or stealing candy. Or anything... So I almost never play a character under 18 (unless it's an actual school game and this isn't)

All that said I have had some pretty steamy kisses in a mature game (as a 16 year old I think)  And they can be as fun (or more) as full adult stuff.

(remember I'm not pushing. Just explaining why I was suggesting it)

I think those rules are "soft" rules given how many teen vigilantes there are in games.

Probably

I don't take the risk though. Unless I have to!

My teen super hero (age 14) in a long running school game is a person with no combat powers and a by-the-rules sort of person. Just because of those rules really

I apologize for those five days of keeping you all waiting.

You all did a good job of responding quickly after my last post-- and I knew what the result would be immediately upon reading it, but the last few weeks I have been extremely preoccupied with other things.

The plan from here out is that, since you all utterly dominated our BBEG so effortlessly, I'll bring in a couple more baddies for you to fight off and allow our BBEG to escape and you can all react to the supposedly dead coming back to life.
