Re: [Let's Play] Marvel Super Heroes Adventure 6 — The Uncanny X-Men: An X-cellent Death

I think nightcrawler with wolverine, mostly because I want bug fight score to pair with storm, and rogue's strength fits the bill.

Re: [Let's Play] Marvel Super Heroes Adventure 6 — The Uncanny X-Men: An X-cellent Death

I think rogues hp should be 15/18 in the last stats card. Sure, absorb the damage for now. No need to dig into karma for health until we're low anyway, and maybe we can heal.

Re: [Spellbound] Alpha Questionnaire

Thanks! Knowing that: my last two D&D characters Mildred the Bog Hag 1. A witch with fey ancestry that curses her foes. 2. Magic missile and/or cantrips, ideally EVIL ones. 3. Control magic like sleep or fog cloud 4. Shield spell or absorb elements spell 5. Witchy nonsense like enchanting someon...

Re: [Let's Play] Marvel Super Heroes Adventure 6 — The Uncanny X-Men: An X-cellent Death

No karma for hp, our plan was to rely on healing factor.

I'd be game to toss 1 karma into this roll, seems potentially bad /course altering.

Re: [Spellbound] Alpha Questionnaire

Is there a genre for spellbound? I'd hate to describe a drug addled psychic space mechanic in a dnd clone.

Re: [Let's Play] Marvel Super Heroes Adventure 6 — The Uncanny X-Men: An X-cellent Death

Yeah, I'm ok conserving karma here. I'm worried that's the worst result is more than just damage, but temper that worry by this being an early section.

I vote for checking the fire. Seems to offer more chances for heroism.

Re: [Let's Play] Marvel Super Heroes Adventure 6 — The Uncanny X-Men: An X-cellent Death

This is obviously low stakes to everyone but wolverine. No karma, no card.

I'll change my vote to a 3rd nightcrawler card. I also value rewind highly. I'm just worried there will be some sticky roll to pass.

Re: [Let's Play] Marvel Super Heroes Adventure 6 — The Uncanny X-Men: An X-cellent Death

One of each card seems thematically appropriate, but I'm not a huge fan of the storm card. My vote is 2x nightcrawler, 1x rogue, 1x wolverine.

Re: Next non-FF gamebook LP?

I enjoy Storytrails -- I recall the writing being pretty good -- and voted for it accordingly. Feel free to count me as a half vote if it breaks a tie.

Re: [Let's Play] Fighting Fantasy 56 – Knights of Doom

Name: Belushi Jackson. we're (probably) on a mission from God, after all, and we will almost certainly strike down with great vengeance and furious anger. Special skills: I'd go Ride, Tracking, Commune and Arcane Lore. I'm trying to pick ones that will be blue options rather than combat bonuses. Bat...

Re: [Let's Play] Fighting Fantasy 59 - Curse of the Mummy

Is there any way to pick up a torch if we rewind? I think that makes the 15 mummy gauntlet easier.

Re: [Let's Play] Legendary Kingdoms: The Valley of Bones

Can't we buy a boat in Cursus? That might open up some watery content.

I'd also be eager to see us try to fight Impposh the Mad at some point, but maybe save that for last in case it's an ignominious end.

Re: [Let's Play] Fighting Fantasy 53 – Spellbreaker

I'm honor of someone accidentally cutting a bunch of deals with demons, I propose naming the character Ariel Faust Constantine.

Though I would totally jump on a sillier name of someone came up with one, I'm not sure afc is super inspired.

Re: [Let's Play] Legendary Kingdoms: The Valley of Bones

I vote for Sgamerz plan because I think we want the Lhasbreath Berserkers hitting a soft target.

Of course, this has be cooking up my own force allocations, but I'll spare us from a three way tie.

I also vote to cast clinging dread at the right time, but I forget what it does.
