I'll do up a post tomorrow afternoon, but while I'm planning that I just want to check what the Doom Pool is at right now? It's only like d6, right?

Also, RIP Civil War Gambit. At least we still have '90s Gambit to fill the scruffy Cajun scumbag-shaped hole in our hearts.

A lone d6 for now, yes. We'll be entering Act 2 soon and so it will be resetting once that happens.

What do you mean by a vehicle asset, D_I? The scene ended, don't assets go away? (I looked in vain for a way to keep my amazing D12 soldier asset but couldn't find one.)

Also if you think Mystique won't go after Rogue, you're kidding yourself.

I have a guess what Zone 6 is, but I don't know whether I should say.

Also, the post cuts off abruptly, so I'm not sure if there's anything additional missing, though it seems to be almost the end at least.

It did cut off. That was weird.

I'd like to hear what your guess is. I won't confirm or deny anything and it won't change my plans because I've already decided what all the mystery zones are anyway.

Offhand I'd have guessed an answer that rhymes with "Infinity Gauntlet" or "Amalgam Crossoververse where Emma can say some really snippy things about the Martian Manhunter's choice of weird pantsless overalls" but honestly those are more pure fun related guesses than anything based off of proper mystery-solving deduction. I mean, there's some really freaky poo poo in the Marvel observed multiverse. All of the Mojoverse is out there and I'm assuming these dudes know Mojo. There's Badoon space-hell, tiny-verse, skrull space-hell, Asgard space-hell, and so many negative zone dimensions that I'm pretty sure they fold in on each other at multiple points only to be conquered or destroyed by Annihilus.

Nontraditional Marvel Multiverse with technology and supernatural powers? The Force is strong with this zone.

If anyone has Physical Stress healing capabilities, I'd definitely appreciate them, and I imagine Danger-Pumpkin would too, when they get back. Though, having said he doesn't want to go, I am sure Herman will definitely not get dragged along on the mission somehow.

I am way too proud of 'Shamrock Spider'.

I know I shoulda given Wanda large-scale threat die. Then you'd have to flee instead of running face-first into Apocalypse's army again.

But hey, gives Wanda a chance for revenge.

DI, did you want one of us to move things along? I have an idea for a scene between myself and Shocker, but that would stop us from going right to Apocalypseville - and also I'll be disappearing soon, so it might not be a good idea to wait on me.

I'm onboard with more Mystique/Shocker fun, and have a couple busy weeks ahead of me so waiting doesn't bother me, but I wouldn't want to be holding up the game for other folks if we want to get right on driving down Apocalypse's throat.

Sidebar: you're welcome to spend as much time on this as you want but you still don't get to use the teleporter to go to Apocalypse's territory. You can use it to go somewhere else, if you have another idea, but trying to go there will kill anyone who isn't at least as hard to kill as Wolverine.

Trust me I don't want to teleport to Apocalypse land but I had to techno-babble when given the opportunity.

I was just looking for a reason for Herman to futz around with the teleporter and, perhaps intentionally, sabotage it such that when we try to go to Apocalypse's world, we wind up in King James's England anyway. An excuse for Goblin and Shocker to bond over being huge nerds was also too hard to turn down, because I just knew vibrational pseudo-science would get that going.

edit: I'm honestly surprised it took us this long to try and make the teleporter into a death cannon.

I feel like things have gotten very circular and I've gotten a little frustrated, so I took a couple days. This is probably my fault because I should have made Wanda clobber the dogfuck out of everyone like I planned and just dump you in the desert but I pulled too many punches. I thought about the best way to approach this in a way that will keep the game going and get to something more interesting than "why don't you turn this into a superweapon?". So!

Why don't we all just suggest a destination and take a vote, and we'll start Act 2 there? You can go to literally any place except for the two that I specified, but the teleporter is specifically for going to somewhere, and not for other functions.
