Mavericks: Issue # 1
Earlier posts discussed the game’s two statements and character creation. Here’s the play report for Issue #1. I made a pretty big error related to Resin’s Alter Ego Situation, which is annoying. I also made a call that I’m not sure about regarding Pooka trying to save a protester. Otherwise, I think this went really…

Those of us playing this game are chomping at the bit to play again, but summer schedules have gotten in the way of even our regular Saturday games. I guess that gives me a chance to catch up on posting videos about the first session. I made a number of mistakes in this one. Most…

Champions Now Debrief: “Fear Death . . . Fear a Frog!”
Here’s a video debrief I did with Alan and Jon about our year-long Champions Now game, featuring middle-aged heroes in Burlington, Vermont (and a few road trips to New York along the way). Tons to discuss about situations, who can Presence attack whom, crazy mystical powers, and the simple joys of jumping around and kicking…

Sentinels of Justice: “Prometheus Unhinged”
Here is the session 3 play report for our Sentinels of Justice Champions Now game. This session surprised me in various ways: both in terms of the heroes’ actions and the emotional effect that the emerging story had on me.

Sentinels of Justice: “The Wages of Justice”
Hello folks! Here is the session 2 play report for our Sentinels of Justice Champions Now game. There was no combat this session, so far less system involved, but many repercussions from the previous session and new elements pulled in from the hero sheets.
