Windowlickers

I have always wanted super powers, so I gave myself stats and exposed myself to the terrigen mists, which I found here.

Then I thought, why stop there? Get some free NPC's. So I statted up and exposed a bunch of people I knew off the internet.

If you are worried that you are not on this list, it counts people by the strength and disitinciveness of their personality, not how much I like them. TRENT.

(I had no idea that the Terrigen mists made you stupid, but it looks like they generally do. So I have created 'Special School' superheroes. No-one has a Reason above 'Poor'. Tom turned out a fucking badass,, virtually a real super hero Not sure who the leader would be. based on these stats it looks like either Zak or Scrap.)



Anyway, if you fuck with disabled people in Otherpool or bully the Special children in class, this is who turns up. Bounding out of a yellow bus.

(If anyone doesn't want to be in this, let me know and I will take you down.)

Just so you know, it goes

Feeble - 2 Far bleow average
Poor - 4 Below average
Typical - 6 Average human.
Good - 10 Above average.
Excellent - 20 Olympic level.
Remarkable - 30 Normal human limit
Incredible - 40 Enhanced human limit

Clubbing people in the back of the head is also magic

Just lots of fighting in the theatre.

Guys go to Everyman, go down to the bar.

Harry Flash chats to bad guys about magic, they give him a camera and ask him to take pictures of the ensuing fight.

A fight begins. Carter picks up a table and slams it into a guy. Platypus vaults bar and punches another. Pulls out two 'magic wands' (guns) and miraculously manages to shoot the weapon out of a guys hands shouting 'maaagic'.

Brawling. Platypus persistently missing. Carter beats the shit out of people. Two civilians die from shuriken cannon rebound rounds. Bad guy snatches gun out of Harry's hands, gun just fired last round. Platypus reaches across bar and punches guy in back of head. Harry once again goes Chow Yun fat and amazingly hits two guys. Team manage to beat the shit out of Ceasar Flickerman. Tie him to a chair.





Harry remembers he has a camera. Team spends some time taking selfies with captive. Decide to go upstairs to theatre. Find Gustav Shnieder directing his play with more Capitol Haircut Guys.

pure evil


ANOTHER FIGHT BREAKS OUT.

Platypus has a very Frank Miller fight,

 
 takes lots of damage, suffers. Duels three guys in the centre of auditorium. Is shot through the heart simultaneously by multiple harlequin-kiss weapons. Survives. Tries summoning SLEMEN via ghost mark. amazingly succeeds.

Carter has Jack kirby fight.

 
Mainly stays in one place picking people up and throwing them across room. Enlarges self in hulk-like manner again.

Harry Flash has Beano-like fight.

 
Fails to shoot own gun. Nails baddy with shuriken fire. Helps godel with 'Enlarge'spell. Psychic duel with goth girl sends him punched out of scene "like a really arty panel from We3". Arrives back in scene as Goth Girl is hit by compatriot being thrown across the room by Carter. Successfully smacks downed women in back of head with gun, taking her out of the fight. Then shot through heart by monofiliment and starts dying. Currently has two rounds to live, Carter will get there in one.

Meanwhile, SLEMEN battles Shneider in ideaspace. Both neutralise each other with various conceptual tricks. in last round Selmen gains advantage and Schneider pulled onto stage of own play and made part of the  story.

End in media-res. back after christmas probably.

Otherpool Session Five - Guns Are Magic



Present - Harry Flash (Lvl 1 Wizard) James Young, Dark Platypus and Carter, Rune Knight.

Godel moved through time and space by "The Scottish Man" inter dimensional Otherpool demigod who shifts people around, across genres and around their own time streams in order to produce ironic and post modern effects. Arrives a few hours before other self. Currently in Chester and also being chased through streets of Otherpool.)

(Nigel Reptile locked in sliver of time with demonic gun by The Scottish man until Zak turns up in future game.)

THE SCOTTISH MAN


Goel immediately punches naked Scottish police captain and knocks him out. Summons 'Slemen' through Ghost Mark, Slemen confused as just about to meet him in Otherpool. Godel and harry hide in house while Carter Deals with police Sergent Willy Russel.

Sgt Russel is a good man
Carter travels with police to Darkplace Hospital






Meets Dr Rick Dagless (MD) and engages in seance. Little information received. Platypus and Wizard look for clues (rob the house of police captain, drink his booze, steal his clothes) and get cab to Liverpool. Platypus explains about heroism.

In Darkplace police still perma-baffled re Fucking Assassin Olympics going on out here. Fitz now trusts Carter as only competent super hero he's ever met.

Kurt Kanada, Science reporter, warned by Ray Charles (Craig's Dad) that more bad guys coming to clean house. Heroes hang around for a bit. Multiple assassins enter. Heroes decide to follow.

Big fight with Hipster/Gangsters and Posh Punisher

very heavily armed

murdering fucks with shuriken weapons
 Our heroes fail to save life of large number of police officers or unconscious phasing assassin but do safe police captain and a hot girl. Multiple people shot by glue guns. Wizards casts 'enlarge' and hides behind desk with borrowed pistol he thinks is magic wand shouting "I can do magic!". Platypus used body of woman as shield and goads Hipsters into shooting her by mocking their favourite Indy bands (poor roll by DM plus no knowledge of modern bands). Gunplay, murder. Heroes prevail and bad guys flee or captured.

Sgt Russel arrives, knows where thugs are, too scared to take them on alone. Drives group to lair. Platypus senses energy inside...

"Dark Energy"



(The play on production her is Gustav Schieders 'Cyberpool Trilogy' Actually based on events of previous game group in Cyberpool, other alternate liverpool.)

bad connection, tiredness and dry mouth end play.)

Otherpool Session Four, Fake a Siezure at the Race Riot

Soo, Nigel Reptile escapes from riot via leaping. Meets Carter, D&D dropin, giant armoured Rune Knight helpfully incarnated on handy rooftop. Both threatened by police. Nigel Reptile succesfully starts race riot as distraction using old 70's green lantern speech.




Speech noted down by reporter from the Callisto. (Aliexi Sayle?)

Go back to Nigels hotel. Rapidly informs Carter, Bill & Ted style about 2th century. Decide to 'stake out' vaguely asian street gang.

See worlds most beautiful woman escorted to gang area by posh creep.

Nigel Reptile uses bullshit to persuade WMBW to come with him.

All parties end up in Casino. Nigel reptile plays blackjack against Oscar Graham, posh creep. Graham wins easily. Raises stakes with threat to life of WMBW.

Marta Peterson possibly not your idea of WMBW, but its not your world.

Nigel Reptile FAKES A SIEZURE (2nd time this has happened in alt-liverpool game) Reptiles plan fails badly. Grabs Oscars gun via leaping. Does end up forcing WMBW 'Breathtaker Kinkade' to break cover as secretly evil. She flees.

Carter effortlessly beats the shit out of Oscar Graham.

Leave casio to find Kinkade in arms of Police Captain Fitz. Persuade captain to take Kinkade to his personal home as 'this one goes right to the top'. Lie to and manipulate stupid cops in discussion over whether thumbs count when taking fingerprints as not really a finger.

Decide to follow captain to his home. realise they have no transport (2nd or third time for this as well.)

Continue adventure via taxi. End up in Chester. Approach Captains house secretly.  Call MI5 for proof of Kinkades evil assasinating ways. Prepare for assault via stealth.

Carter becomes giant. Smashes through 2nd floor window shouting about assasins being after suspect. Wrestles naked scotsman. Nigel reptile faces off with Kinkade. uses bullshit and siezes phone. Escapes, via leaping.



THEN Assassins attack for real. Kinkade shot, reptile saves life of Kinkade. Kinkade begs for help. Carter effortlessly smashes the shit out of phasing assasin  Reptile chases gunfire from the north.

Finds random desperate Tramp wielding old-pattern rifle. Bravely disarms tramp by snatching rifle from his hands.

BUT THE RIFLE WAS THE SAME ONE THAT KILLED KENNEDY AND IS POSSESSED AND HE FAILED HIS PSYCHE ROLL SO NOW HE IS EVIL AND MUST KILL

Game ends. For now.

Lessons (high level D&D fighter with some magic easily capable of holding his own in superhero world.) (Plate armour reallyfucking powerful, may change.)

{Leaping: The hero can leap with Leaping power rank ability instead of Strength . This power will always be at least one ran k greater t han the hero's Strength , and if rolled lower is increased to this level.}
