Players: me and TheAbsurdist. Characters: Asad and King of Suits The Scheme: I am reasonably sure nobody has picked up the DeCosta Construction company's possible ties to the Freedom City mafia, so I figured we might as well get on with that! The Gamemaster may use any plot they choose, just remember to run your request to use DeCosta and/or the Mob past the Refs.

I'm looking to run a thread for lower PL characters, probably in the 7-8 range, facing off against the Fearsome Five, a villainous team who's shown up a few times. Set and Sekhmet will be a part of this, so it's also an opportunity to team-up with them. The Fearsome Five are all PL 10 and individually dangerous, with a broad range of abilities so a group of PL 7-8 heroes are going to be in significantly over their heads. That means figuring out a way to win other than a straight fight and knowing as a player that your character may well have their butt handed to them in the process of saving the day. Hey, the Fearsome Five may even get away with their plan! If you're interested in a challenging thread with some strong personalities, let me know. I'll be choosing less based on first-come and more on which characters would be most interesting to include so feel free to make your pitch along those lines! For reference:

The landlocked African country of Dakana, home to wonders of science thanks to the mysterious and powerful Daka crystals, lately emerging from centuries of isolationism onto the world stage. They are few, yet still hold the keys to a fantastical future. The submerged continent of Atlantis, a living myth from a vanished age whose people once held sway over half the world with their fusion of magic and technology and the mighty Orichalcum metal, now all but ignored and forgotten by the surface. They are many, but still a shadow of what was. For eons these two have had nothing ill to do with one another, courteous cousins in the great household of nations. Now, though, tensions rise between them, and accusations fly thick and fast of deception and attempted evil! Who could gain from bringing these two into conflict? Who would seek to make these two rivals or even bitter foes? Who plots a war that could spell a cataclysm across the Earth if it came to pass? And who will step forward to stop...the Showdown of the Super-Nations?! (All credit goes to Russoboo, and to Johnathan Hickman for being the guy who's writing the New Avengers series with an Atlantis vs. Wakanda plot) Players: 3-5 Suggested PL: 10-13 Preferences: Characters with some kind of diplomatic standing, establishment with the Freedom League, UNISON or international status(aliens, etc). Focus: Even split between Skills/interaction, with combat a distant third. Tone: Serious, streak of bombast(because the stakes are high!). I seriously doubt I'd be able to pull something like this off, but in the event of nobody else wanting to give it a go I'll get it a-rolling.
