Extra Life Game Day 2021 & Issue 27: Page 3

 

What is Extra Life?

 

Extra Life is an annual fundraising event supporting branches of the Children's Miracle Network Hospitals through gaming. To quote their website simply, “Extra Life is an online grassroots movement working to save local kids through the power of play.  From video games to board games, Extra Lifers do what they love to raise money for CMN Hospitals.” For more information, check out their About and Frequently Asked Question pages.

 

To support this cause, we have decided to release the Issue 27: Page 3 beta on the Brainstorm server just before the 2021 Extra Life Game Day, on Friday, November 5th, featuring a new Strike Force for levels 35-50.

 

We're excited to be able to provide an opportunity for everyone to support this awesome cause while exploring the new content in Page 3, and we're looking forward to tuning into your streams and providing some developer commentary along the way. More information about this is below.

 

Now, a teaser!

Dr. Aeon's Strike Force: "Chasing Fool's Gold"

 

The supervillain genius Dr. Aeon has begun to take notice of suspicious unscientific activity going on within Aeon City! Such things are inconceivable! None can be permitted to befoul the glory of his utopia!

 

In his unparalleled brilliance, he has decided to enlist the service of local villains for the purpose of helping him maintain and enforce order! Definitely not to deflect any potential responsibility or liabilities from himself! Never!

 

However, even his immaculate mind couldn’t predict the culmination of this plot. Decades of planning sees the rise of an unexpected threat of which Dr. Aeon played no small part in helping create, in more ways than one!

Possibilities:

1. Time travel?
2. Someone finally gave him a rez
3. A third Hero 1? Hero 0n3?

Okay, this looks extremely cool.  Very excited!  😎👍

Very excited about the SF.  However, as someone who is militantly anti- children's health, this makes me feel conflicted.

This will be a whole lot of fun. For a good cause too. So there! See you Saturday!! 😄

I have a feeling that we may finally be able to go under Aeon City, through that blocked off tunnel...if that's true, I am so creating a new villain.

 

 

Edit: Not that I needed a reason to make a new villain. XP

If only, but Aeon isn't that advanced.

I mean the character for the record.

The official name is "Advanced Difficulty Options" to emphasize that they're optional, but yes. If you plan on trying those out I recommend copying over your most well-built Incarnated out characters to Brainstorm ahead of time.
