    This is a great idea and a fun time! I was inspired to put together a short IC story of sorts for my character's run of the Hero mission (may also come back later for a similar deal with the Vigi mission), so I'll slap it up here in Google Doc form.

     

    (Link spoilered due to the account being fairly blow-by-blow and thus containing many...well...spoilers.)

     

     

    Looking forward to seeing what else comes of this!

    Aaahhhh!!!! This is so rewarding to read! You're quite the writer, too!

    Firebrand Island was, as usual, relaxing and pleasant. The visitor did not spend time there frequently, but it was a good place to unwind a bit and truly think. One the companies she was invested in was in a bit of a bind. Marine salvage was always a chancy thing, and one of the managers had overextended onto what had turned out to be, an old rust-bucket cargo ship with nothing on it but empty crates, ambushes, and kidnapped salvage workers. 

     

    They needed money to cover short term expenses until she could get a team to set the whole thing to right. Dipping into her own long term savings was out of the question -- markets were down, and she'd have to liquidate stock at a loss.  And that's when Delilah had mentioned something. 

     

    A little extra cash wouldn't hurt. Longbow, indeed.


    Later, one of Longbow's high security prisons had been broken in to; the prisoner held there released, and a number of security personnel severely wounded by sword, and two killed, including the lead of the response team that had been dispatched when the alarms sounded. Oddly, that one corpse had also been mutilated -- the heart cut out by a stone edge.


    Security cameras only showed glimpses of a small figure, moving rapidly and teleporting frequently, heavily cloaked by darkness that seemed to pour out. 

     

     

    ((I love the concept and enjoyed both mission variants, and consider the villain version to be IC for my character.))

    ((AHHHH I'm so glad to hear! And awesome story!!!))

    While we are on the subject,  RPing in a club, bar, etc as a go to is a pet peave of mine. 

     

    This isn't just a COH thing, it transcends games, and formats (pnp, etc).  

     

    Plenty of times the only rp is at the tavern, the dungeon is a mechanics heavy slog.

    I don't mind the downtime RP but I do miss the vast amount of RP teams like on live.

  4. Contact Name: Golden Star
    Faction: Power Patrol

    Level Range: 1-54

    "Hi there! You must be the hero I've been hearing so much about! I'm Golden Star of the Power Patrol! You might heard of me...or us?"

     

    You have most likely not heard of him nor the Power Patrol.

     

    "Two fellow heroes working together! Nothing better, right? It brings a tear to my eye." 

     

    He wipes his mask off. Is it wet?

     

    "You see, I need help. The Sinister Squad are at it again! They've kidnapped a bunch of trainee heroes who were cleaning up the Hydra mess in the sewers and are holding them captive with explosives! And that's not the worst of it - they're located underneath a residential district!"

    You ask Golden Star about the whereabouts of the Sinister Squad.

     

    "I think the vile Cesspit is guarding the bombs right now! But Runway, their speedster and smuggler who grabbed all those people in the first place, is making a getaway! I'm going to disarm those bombs and save those people! But I don't think I can do it alone..."

  5. Similar to this thread, I am putting out weekly to bi-weekly content in the Architect Entertainment system for single player/small team roleplay focused missions. While the other thread focuses on redside content, this one will focus on blueside! Each of the arcs will have a hero option and a vigilante option, similar to the tips that drop in game!

     

    An example of a Hero Tip will look like this!

     

    Contact Name: Kyle
    Faction: Independent
    Level Range: 1-54

    "Hey there, hero! I could use a hand! My poor Mittens the kitten is stuck in a tree again! Can you help me out?"

     

    >Climb the tree and save Mittens! (Arc ID: 42069)
    >Track down the fiend that put Mittens in the tree and bring them to justice! (Arc ID: 69420)

  6. Contact Name: Delilah
    Faction: Firebrand Island
    Level Range: 20-29, 1-54

    "Hey, hunter. Good to see you. Ready for some work? My good and dear friend Doug Green has gone missing - and by missing, I mean abducted. By Candy Canes. He's been taken in for questioning on Longbow and it won't be long before he spills everything about my mercenary operations."

     

    She huffs out a frustrated breath. 

     

    "Now, Longbow did agree to discuss his release over a deal. Apparently they've got a cultist problem or something? Look, I know where they're keeping him and it's a pretty high security prison. You can either go in there and make a ruckus or you can see what offer Longbow has. Apparently they're offering pay on top of releasing him, too. But I can never trust them. They play dirty, you know."

  7. Contact Name: The Coordinate
    Faction: Firebrand Island
    Level Range: 40-48, 1-54

    "I have foreseen this possible meeting between the two of us. I have also foreseen that you are someone who likes to get to the point - I am the Coordinate. I exist here, there, and everywhere. I am in touch with the future paths and see all the roads ahead of us. But only one road will tell the truth. Which would that be, I wonder?"

     

    The Coordinate does not smile, but it feels like he really wants to. 

     

    "Ahead of you are several paths; there was a raid on a laboratory not far from here. The experiments were taken and brought to Arachnos for further study. One such prisoner, if rescued, will be of great assistance to you in the future; an eternal ally in your struggles. There is also a reward for releasing the prisoners. 'Two birds, one stone', I hear the beings of this plane say."

     

    He raises his other hand, producing a small flame.

     

    "In the other road, there exists a group of upstart heroes called the World Walkers. Right this moment, their lives are about to change forever as they each discover immense power within themselves. This power will lead them to great heights. In several paths, they band together and defeat you at your greatest moment. I believe there is a reward from one of their more than upset nemesis."

     

    He produces another flame. 

     

    "Which path, I wonder, will you take?"

     

    >Rescue the prisoners (Arc ID: 38236)
    >Blow up the World Walkers' base from below (Arc ID: 38235)

    Hey everyone! I'm hosting some bounties! They're mostly meant for redside characters but anyone is welcome to run them! 

    What's a bounty? 

     

    The gist of the board is that there will be updated bi-weekly or monthly contacts with missions that have two paths each you can take. (If enough people partake and enjoy them, I'll post them weekly).

     

    An example bounty looks like this:

     

    Contact Name: Kyle
    Faction: Independent
    Level Range: 1-54
    (Picture of Contact)

     

    "Hey there, hunter. My boys down at the warehouse have been getting hassled by the local gangs lately. Think you could do something about that?"

     

    >Make a deal with the gangs to get off Kyle's back (Arc ID: 42069)
    >Kill the gangs to make an example of them (Arc ID: 69420)

     

    These missions are generally intended for single player use or small teams. A larger team will likely blow through most of these! Feel free to comment on your experience with these missions!

    One peeve I haven't mentioned before is child characters. No, just no. Not now, not ever. It should be forbidden. I don't roleplay with them, I don't want to be near them, and I'll leave teams, drop from events, and remove chat channels to be away from them. 

    Seen too many sexualized child characters for me to be comfortable with them, myself.

  10. You'd be surprised what options open up for not picking it, too. Willpower especially. I had a street justice/willpower brute who didn't have it and never needed it. It was one of my strongest characters. Hell, I had a dual pistols/super reflexes sentinel with about 120% recharge without hasten. I think it's a very popular pick and I think some sets still require it for min/maxing like Bio Armor and a few support sets.  I wouldn't shed a tear if it became inherent.

  11. I don't think name calling is really the way to go. 

     

    I could perhaps budge on opening more than 4 power pools (and presence really does need a rework sometime) but opening it up to the point of no investment needed would really break things more than it shows.
