Cryptic Conflicts - Part II

No, I didn't forget about this one, but circumstance conspired against me. I blew through most of my savings in my last trimester of Post-Grad, so I can't be too picky with work at the moment, meaning I'm missing club more often than not. So the campaign did continue for a while, but I didn't participate as much as I would have liked and there weren't a lot of photos taken. That means that this is the second and final entry for the campaign, which is not really what I wanted, but it doesn't follow that the exercise failed. I ended up with half a dozen people playing SuperSystem [4], mostly for the first time and more interested besides that. When I break out the supers again at club, probably in 2018, I imagine I'll have even more players keen to give the game a go. 
Here are the last of the game pictures, with what commentary I can remember, with the "new format" of the blog, you'll be seeing this somewhere around six months after the games were played. 

 Testing out the "Base Battle" scenario on my new, easy to transport board. 

 Still thrilled to bits with my Deep Cut Studios mat. 

 Invaders from another reality menace the city. 

 The plaza needs a little work still, but looks good in this shot, right? 

 Triskelion Comics has had some updates since this, when it's closer to done, I'll take some new pictures. 

 My Knights of Dice building is waiting on the interior kit before I finish it off. 

 The view across the rooftops. 

The comic store owner has a sweet ride.

Cryptic Conflicts - The Beginning

(With apologies to Jim Shooter) 

In the distant reaches of the universe, far, far from planet Earth, an uninhabited, spiral galaxy turns its everlasting pirouette in magnificent splendor, unseen by living eyes... until suddenly... 



A world forms from the void... a world populated with superhumans! Brought together from across the multiverse, heroes and villains have been placed on this, mysterious, "Struggleplanet", by forces beyond mortal ken. Just as the transplanted adventurers start to query the strange environs in which they find themselves, a haunting, ethereal voice pierces their minds;

"I am from yonder! Slay your enemies and all you desire shall be yours! Nothing you dream of is impossible for me to accomplish!"  


Trapped in a world they didn't make, how will heroes from different worlds survive the unknowable machinations of a being of such power as to make and brake worlds? Find out next ish, true believers! 

At NWA, we're starting a small SuperSystem (SS4) campaign running July-August this year. AARs, narrative bridging and character profiles can be found here and on other blogs, to be linked. Stay tuned!
