The death-traps are too hard to figure out/escape from, the selection of enemies is just a laundry list of FF foes, and the "plot" (as such) is very, very weak. The old MSH RPG is actually more-than-sufficiently furnished with awful modules that fall apart if you think about them for even a minute(such Breeder Bombs), but this one is peculiarly bad. The absolute worst has to be the Gang Wars series, though: nonsensical plot, scads of time-waster encounters, and a lot of developments that require the players to be dolts.LWSCHURTZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06635573516962732975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2170237526012357403.post-26840839444058601522010-12-03T12:15:33.904-05:002010-12-03T12:15:33.904-05:00No sweat, thanks for the reply -- Good point about...No sweat, thanks for the reply -- Good point about the broken Charge rule.

Not sure how that would allow her to actually break out, though. Sorry again for my unhelpful recollection.<br /><br />Iron Man used a Charge manuever, which was broken, as they say, the way we used because I missed the rule about how many column shifts in damage can be applied for speed--his Shift X flight was going right off the charts.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2170237526012357403.post-24546473728270165062010-11-30T15:30:10.754-05:002010-11-30T15:30:10.754-05:00Good question, I see how you'd get that impres...Good question, I see how you'd get that impression -- but no, there's no evidence of tournament scoring or anything like that (other than bog-standard Karma [Fate/Fortune/Luck] awards). <br /><br />Most of the MSH adventures feel like they were fairly quickly written for one or two 4-hour play sessions. Sometimes they have rather coarse gaps or glitches. Also, the MSH game had a lot of built-in assumptions about villains using "deathtraps" routinely, and maybe my players aren't accustomed to that.Deltahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00705402326320853684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2170237526012357403.post-34909046914542273902010-11-30T10:16:55.184-05:002010-11-30T10:16:55.184-05:00Do you think this was a module written for tournam...Do you think this was a module written for tournament, like Tomb of Horrors?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2170237526012357403.post-60911561797558131412010-11-30T09:57:27.409-05:002010-11-30T09:57:27.409-05:00Interesting.

Did Tigra get rescued by Iron Man, or get out herself?Deltahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00705402326320853684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2170237526012357403.post-23758074825576857182010-11-29T16:18:43.929-05:002010-11-29T16:18:43.929-05:00I played this a few months ago with a group that i...I played this a few months ago with a group that included Iron Man, Tigra and Storm, who had a fairly easy time of it--but I'll have to admit that was likely me taking it easy on them (at least with Storm in the "human-sacrifice" trap). However, the Iron Man of '84 or so is way out of scale power-wise with the rest of the Fantastic Four and the New Avengers, so that accounts for some of the ease with which they triumphed. <br /><br />I say triumphed, but Tigra was killed by automatic weapons fire from Locke and Chambers as she tore out Arcade's throat. I'm not sure they were supposed to have automatic weapons, as the module is written, but it sure made for a dramatic conclusion to the session.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2170237526012357403.post-70255865302549349982010-11-29T10:06:00.730-05:002010-11-29T10:06:00.730-05:00Thor was played on Sunday.
