The_Warpact Posted December 25, 2021 Share Posted December 25, 2021 Yeah my VG started a group of slow play Thursday night. Been playing every night so far and got up to 20 last night. Good times running missions. 1 https://www.twitch.tv/boomie373 The Revenants twitch channel, come watch us face plant, talk smack, and attempt to be world class villains.

cranebump Posted December 25, 2021 Author Share Posted December 25, 2021 Indeed. Just ran the Anton Sampson arc. 47 merits! Our quartermaster has been hard at work filling in base details (thank God, bc I suck at it).:-) Could use some more peeps, though, fer sure. Anyhoo, we're on Torch, if anyone's looking to join us. In the meantime, everyone enjoy all those baked goods. Looking for SFMA content over multiple arcs? Search for the following under "cranebump."

Clave Dark 5 Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 That's already about 90% of how I play, although I usually do want to trek to 50. But my schedule's too rough for any constant teaming. And I just won a bunch of merits and there's no way I'm not going to use those! _____________________________ 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!

Black Talon Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 This is a subject I can hold great sympathy and agreement with. Part of the reason - and I am obviously not alone in this - I play the game in the first place is to enjoy the pure artistic/audio/atmospheric effects for all they're worth, both intrinsic to the characters and the world they inhabit. I've done a couple of "speed runs" with one group or another, and it ends up becoming a mechanical exercise; everything that was put into the game to emphasize and exemplify the comic book world (definitely more sophisticated and detailed than the "four colour" era) is merely an object to get out of the way in order to hit the next level. While I am unaware as to what server the SG is located on - perfectly possible there's an iteration on each one - I'd love to team my guys up with you, if possible, and, rather than counting the XP till next level, we see what stories we can write with the game, and the possibilities the CoX team conjured for us and which the HC gang devotes themselves to continuing. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, there! The Long Riders are on Torch. Both of us.:-) We'd love to have another. I'll be logging in this morning for a run.

The Riders do allow Merit conversion to grab cash, fyi. Trekking to 50 is fine. Just no Incarnates. We'd like to get enough to have some regular team runs, likely on THU evenings, my usual scheduled play night. As for teaming, it's cool if you want to/have to solo. The main thing is exploring the story content. It's casual, hombre. Kick off your shoes. You're in Willie's Roadhouse.:-) 1 Looking for SFMA content over multiple arcs?
