Clave Dark 5 Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 Say, did they announce a winner from the Christmas-themed one and I missed it somewhere? 1 _____________________________ Hi, I'm Clave Dark 5! You may remember me from such characters as King Pumpkin Spice, Stupid Like A Fox, Capt Sam's Space Zoo, The Pink Bamfer, Trash Ghost, Maid Of Metal... as well as a few really stupid AE arcs!

TerroirNoir Posted March 2, 2022 Author Share Posted March 2, 2022 Updated to add the March 2022 winners.

TerroirNoir Posted March 24, 2022 Author Share Posted March 24, 2022 Keep checking out the full list for great stories and remember each current month's Dev Choices grants full XP. 1 Great to be back in CoX! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerroirNoir Posted April 30, 2022 Author Share Posted April 30, 2022 (edited) Ok folks, the GMs are working the little socks off at building a new metric for these, in the meantime rather than the usual three (ONLY THREE!) we get per month, it seems all of the above mentioned Dev Choices (not the seasonal and 'grandfathered' ones I'm afraid) give full XP and so on. So get in there and try them out. The first 32 listed Arcs in the AE are currently ALL Dev Choices again...or you can just go through the list above and see what you like! There's some talented people on that list. Give them some appreciation. Edited April 30, 2022 by TerroirNoir 2 2 Great to be back in CoX! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Techwright Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 Haven't done AE in seemingly forever, but with a lot of 50's I'm now interested, so I'm happy to see such a compilation. Thanks @TerroirNoir! One question: is this a good list for solo play? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks @TerroirNoir! One question: is this a good list for solo play? Having played a lot of these (and scripted a few), I'd say most SFMA's are solo-friendly. Of course, AT selection can shift the equation one way or another on the "friendly" scale.:-) 2 Looking for SFMA content over multiple arcs? Search for the following under "cranebump."

Thanks @TerroirNoir! One question: is this a good list for solo play? Ah, @cranebump beat me to it. Exactly what they said. And their stuff is top notch for story by the way. Overall? Most of them are solo-able. It does depend on AT. A few have giant monsters in them, but those are (as far as I remember anyway) optional. AE giant monsters don't drop Reward Merits though. They did at one point but that was removed to stop exploits. They vary from individual, quirky stories of heroes and villains and praetorians, to what-ifs to tightly woven canon based stories that could easily just belong to the main game, to just out there oddness. They're not all going to be to your individual taste, but then what is? Anyway. Enjoy! Edited May 7, 2022 by TerroirNoir 3 Great to be back in CoX!

Ok, this may be a bit cheeky of me, but @GM Sparky and the gang, is is possible for these 32 to be rotated up and down the list, rather than players just doing what they always do and play the very first one and ignore the rest? That's not saying the first one is bad or anything, I would ask this no matter what one was on top. 1 Great to be back in CoX! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerroirNoir Posted August 20, 2022 Author Share Posted August 20, 2022 With all the debate/discussion/whatever raging back and forth across several threads on the forums about various things in the AE, I'll just pop this to the top for a moment and say: Try out these Dev Choices! There's some good stuff in there. 1 1 2 Great to be back in CoX! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerroirNoir Posted October 2, 2022 Author Share Posted October 2, 2022 Just a bump post! Try out the Dev Choices on this list! And then get over to the thread linked below, read the nomination rules and nominate an AE that you think is worth getting a Dev Choice! They've been on a little break for a bit but don't let that deter you! Happy gaming! 🙂 1 Great to be back in CoX! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zhym Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 Why isn't this stickied? Do the mods hate story-mode AE? It's the only reason I can see for this not to be stickied. :) 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
