COED-X or Mutants ’91
Our every other Friday Champions 6 is on hiatus for a while and the group has decided to slide our occasional Marvel Super Heroes game into center stage. As you might have guessed, we are playing mutants who are college students. Three of us went to Salisbury (State) University in Salisbury MD (USA) in the…

Halfway Heroes: Supervillain Showdown
Across three sessions: a bank robbery, a public unmasking, our protagonists finally have their show down, and a guest appearance by the most startling character of them all!

Halfway Heroes: The Devil’s Workshop
Here’s a helpful hint: never keep a supervillain waiting. In case you skipped the last several posts: Sam (played by me) and Connie (played by Noah) are supervillains recently released from Rikers Island (run by David). Each protagonist has struggled with reentry. In the last session, each murdered their arch-enemy. Connie is a wanted fugitive, while Sam,…

Halfway Heroes – Session Four
Session four started on May 10, 2022 (in-game). We began with Samuel Holt (aka The Huntsman) paying a homeless person to walk around Times Square with a sign asking The Grandmaster (aka Peter King) to contact him. “Grandmaster, call the guy who stole your hard hat.” I made a successful roll for Peter to employ…

The session started on Saturday, May 7, 2022 (in game). Samuel Holt (aka The Huntsman) invited some old college buddies to a pizza place in Brooklyn. For this act, Samuel earned 5 Karma for "Get Together with Friends". Samuel now has 20 Karma. In the background, Ramirez tried to steal The First Responder's souped up red pickup truck…
