This is the Destroyer as I used him in last night’s Marvel Heroic Roleplaying Event. Essentially, it’s a “Greatest Hits” version of the Destroyer, powered by a soul that animates it, and basically wrecking everything in it’s path. As a side note, the Destroyer can, as a technicality, hold Thor’s hammer, since it’s a construct and not alive (not worthy
Read moreThe bullet points version of this session: Doctor Strange sees a vision of an army of Destroyer like constructs marching across the globe, and a vision of a burning sword. Doctor Strange pops in on our captured heroes in Magneto’s abandoned fortress, where Sauron and his Savage Land Mutates are holding court. Wolverine and Deadpool start with the emotional assaults
Read moreIts that time again (it’s actually well past that time) when we look at the Marvel Universe as seen through the comics that came out this past Wednesday, and then mercilessly strip mine them for ideas for milestones. Our first stop on our tour of the Marvel Universe on Wednesday is a trip to outer space and a look at
Read moreWow, where does the time go? I’m almost closing in on the next session without having this recap posted! Bad Watcher, bad! Well, let’s fix that now, shall we? You may remember from last time that the group had a rather unfortunate problem with the Hulk going wild and dropping a SHIELD base on the party and the villains both,
Read moreAs the first Marvel Now issues begin to surface, and we get plenty of rumors and rampant speculation, let’s turn our attention mining the issues that did come out for some milestone inspiration. Join me, won’t you? Let’s start at the beginning with the insanity that is Avenging Spider-Man #13 This Place Is A Mecca For Morons 1 XP When
Read moreOn a whim, I picked up Avengers Academy #38. It looked like fun, especially in the wake of the very serious tone of the AvX wrap up. As usual, I wouldn’t be doing my job as a guy that reads comics and runs a MHRP game if I didn’t think of some milestones inspired by the issue. This one is
Read moreAfter reading a my Wednesday comics once again, here are some milestones inspired by actual comics! Yet again! No, really! Let’s jump into the fray . . . First up, a set of milestones inspired by Amazing Spider-Man #695, and Madame Web’s (Julia Carpenter) warnings for Spider-Man over the last several years. It’s Too Late For That 1 XP When
Read moreLast Thursday my Google+ gaming group played another session of Marvel Heroic Roleplaying, using the Breakout Event as our jumping off point (I’ve tweaked a few things here and there to taste, and to react to the players). Highlights A squadron of SHIELD jets attempted to intercept the quinjet on it’s way to the Savage Land. They weren’t going to
Read moreHey, I’m a bit late, but that seems to be the case whenever I have my Marvel game on Thursday. I certainly don’t regret that one bit. However, without further delay, let’s dive into the comics that I happened to peruse this week through the wonderful lens of Milestones . . . We’ll start with Amazing Spider-Man #694, continuing Pete’s
Read moreI’m not sure why, but I got Omega Red lodged in my brain, so I stared to work up a datafile for him for Marvel Heroic Roleplaying. This is definitely not a minor character “background villain” version of the character, but a rather vicious threat to the heroes. May still tweak a few things, especially if I end up with
