So here you are, I proudly present you 9 unique Encounter Scenarios, not just for tournament play but also for friendly games. I'm still testing them but I decided that you will be the best judges.

Most of them are symmetric (both sides having same/similliar winning conditions) to let the strategic genius not the circumstances decide.
I also think that they let some of the less flexible and more task oriented Supremes to shine.

So enjoy and share your thoughts!

Great scenarios Morf!

We'll have to give some of those a try.

You've been really busy lately. I'm impressed.

I think they look good. We will try to test them out this upcoming Wednesday.

I had a similar scenario idea as "5 to 12" or even as an agenda. Though my idea gave one of the Villain supremes a bomb, and they had to go plant it on the Heroes side of the table.

The Villain with the bomb would gain: "Set us up the bomb" AP 2, and it would go off three rounds after it was planted. The bomb can be dropped and grabbed by other Supremes.

The Heroes would gain: "Disarm the Bomb" AP 2 and would have to make a Mind roll vs a 8 (or possibly higher) to disarm the bomb. The Heroes can not be in base to base with the villains while attempting to disarm the bomb. 6s on disarms are still an automatic success, allowing the Hero to hit a home run on a quick try.

When the bomb goes off, it is a 8 Energy or Fist vs Agility to anyone within 8 inches.

If the bomb goes off, the Villains gain 3 Agenda Points. If the bomb is planted but the game ends before the bomb goes off, the villains gain 1 Agenda Point. If the Heroes disarm the bomb, the Villains lose 1 Agenda Point.

It also comes with a new resource, the Defuse Kit. The Defuse Kit is a Level 1 item that lowers the disarm target number to 6, making it easier for the Supremes to disarm bombs. The kicker is this is in the resource pool even if you do not know if the Villains took this agenda or not.

Cool ...scenarios! Hope to play these sooner than later.

A few questions:

How many TP do you get for a win?

I assume a draw is considered both sides having an equal amount of agenda points and a win if you get more.

What is the game length per enconter? 6 rounds?

Not too keen on tournaments, but the scenarios are certainly most welcome.

I have to say I really love these. We're gonna play a few of them today and I'll let you know how it goes. The flavor of these fits perfectly with comics and the world of superheroes. As always Morf you've got your finger on the Geek Pulse. Way to go. Although I do have to say I think the Villain Scenarios are way more fun.

It's the villain in me and my troubled youth experiences made into Scenarios :twisted:

I wanted to say we've been playing these a lot lately and they're a ton of fun. We like having the more story driven single agenda game. They set up faster and add a new level of tactical play to ussual brawls we tend to engage in. Unfortunatly I've lost every game I've played so far. Oh well.

You never lose in Pulp City. You're just waiting for the next issue to uncover your Masterplan... ;)

I played some over the weekend and have some suggestions (Heroes have a very hard time in 5 to 12), if you do, fire them right here.

It looks like they've been pulled at the moment, or the link has been accidentally removed.
