Avengers April # 2: Death Duel with the Destroyers.

Roll Call: The Solvent, Fire Bat, The Bard, Karn the Drunk, Polymer

Villains: The Crushers (Bull, Hornet, Mocker, Shocker, Vulture, Marionette) & The Destroyers (Annihilator and Minions )

Attempted to run the second part of the Month long Super Hero game at Seths Games and Anime last night but it just did not click. I am not sure why and I am open to suggestions

I have run dozens of Dungeon and Dragons game over the years and they always work, the players get it. They know there rolls, they know there jobs, they know to move the story along. Sure sometimes it gets silly, some times far to silly but I never feel like the work I put into a D&D Game is wasted, on the other hand. When I run supers, it seems to just be a disaster and I feel like I just wasted my time. I don't get it?

Why is running D&D so easy but no one gets Supers and it just turns in to a troll joke. You would think that as children of a Comic Book society, where comics are our mythology and with all the Super Heroes related media around right now that we would get Supers and Fantasy would be hard to understand . But its the other way?

When I ran and played Villains and Vigilantes in the 80's and 90's everyone got it, everyone understood the rules of the Super Hero Comic Book universe and loved it.

Now a days it seems Elf's and Dwarfs are easy, but Super Man and bat man is hard, I just don't get it? I mean who does not want to be Spider Man, Bat Man, Archie?

Anyway.

The city of FRESNO NEBRASICA holds a parade to celebrate the defeat of the CRUSHERS by the towns new Heroes. Unfortunately the other Crushers use this as a diversion to free there captured comrades.

MARIONET mind controls a truck drive to crash in to the wagon hulling the Villains to jail. In the resulting explosion, the Crushers attempt to escape but our Heroes are on the seen and take up the cause to stop the Crushers once again.

The combatants battle throughout the streets of FRESNO NEBRASCA, leaving destruction and fire in there wake.

It is only through Team Work and clever use of their Powers that the HEROES, now daubed the FRESNO NEBRASCA CRUSADERS are able to bring the CRUSHERS to justice.

Unfortunately in the confusion MARIONEET, SHOCKER, MOCKER and HORNET Escaped but BULL and VULTURE were captured again.

As night falls on the city and the fires are put out, the mayor of FRESNO, NEBRASCA asks the heroes to investigate the rumors of a UFO out by the old spooky corn field.

The HEREOS responded and after setting the corn filed on fire- Setting things on fire seems to be there solution to a lot of problems-The HEROES found out that there was yes, a UFO.

In fact there were several UFO's that all combined to become the DESTROYERTRON.

The heroes battled the Giant robot but through clever power use and teamwork and creating their own giant robot. The Destroyertron was defeated, and Jinkys it turns out they were not aliens but agents of the classic Marvel organization A.I.M.

Then ANHILITAOR (of Death duel with the Destroyers) showed up and proceeded to beat the corn and cheese out of the heroes, all looked lost for the CRUSDAERS until the Bard was able to use Annihilators own fear against him.

Annihilator and the agents of AIM fled into the night and the city was safe, but for how long.

How long.

I will be converting the game to D20 rules for next Tuesday as maybe it will be a better fit for SHRPG? and to help my friend play test his D20 System he is working on.

We will see?

Till next time

Be the hero in your own life and be excellent
