USA 5O Convention After Action Report

On the mean streets of Takoma Park, in an Unrelated Incident(tm), the D.C. Champion Represent foils a bank robbery by the Harvestor, a Halloween themed villain, whom it was not known he was active again.

USA 5O Convention After Action Report

Kitty Hawk from North Carolina, Doc Salem from Massachusetts, and Independence-1 from Delaware teamed up out on the Eastern Shore at an abandoned satellite base, but before they got any detective work done at all they (love them natural 18 fumbles)  were ambushed by a squad of the pumpkin headed warriors, the Knights of Autumn Gate. This incident was the first one which may have (preliminarily believed to be) related to others now that the USA-5O team members were actually using their cell-phones to tip each other off !!! 

the things we as GMS have to put up with....

USA 5O Convention After Gotterdammerung

Finally at a farm in western Virginia, all leads from the previous crimes indicated some dirty work was afoot out here in the Meadows of Dan. This led to a gigantic ragarok-style melee. The bad guys consisted of Harvestor, Samhain, and the Autumn Knight himself. Of course he was backed up by a whole platoon of his Gate Knights. 

Champions from the USA included Represent, Doc Salem, Independence-1, Green-Tech, Kitty Hawk, Arkansas Traveller, Chicago Chief, Volunteer and Virtus.

In a rare example of forward thinking by players: across the road in a snipers perch in a grain tower were Mountaineer and Seminole. (visible in the extreme foreground of this photo) Plus Doc Salem had summoned a giant Ant and an Angel to assist.

Note the Winnebago of Doom, which the bad guy's followers (namely Brigit) used to do their dirty work.

the truly mad nature of these criminals (love those silver age morals) becomes evident in this photo. when they get there way, all holidays will be Halloween in practice.

Harvestor, the Magician of Candlemas.

Autumn Knight, Summoner of the Hallows.

Samhain, Master of the Night-fears.

and more KAGs than you can shake a wand at.

late in the battle, lots of heroes and villains are down. Harvestor calls in the Boss, the Leige-Lord of Halloween.

oh wait. its an illusion. Only the Chief made his Perception, saving the entire teams bacon. I did get GM props for using "Harvest Colors Cthulhu" as an in-scale miniature.

penultimately, when Harvestor finally fell down, the real boss showed up, GRAVE-WYRM, to claim the souls of the trio, sold to him by previous arrangment. Normally, who would stop a daemon lord from turning in a claim chit on something of little value that a scum-bag had pawned? Well he attempted to siphon energy off some unconscious heroes that were laying nearby, so while everyone soliloquized (evil GM: I didnt let players have recoveries unless they made a speech), plus we took a smoke break, as the day had been long since Vermont.  a new, final, fight started.

GRAVE-WYRM was the last of a long line of Halloween themed bad guys. he was a 600 point monstrosity with few weaknesses. However Doc Salem had his nemesis power: immunity to draconic powers, and guess where from the "Wyrm" portion of his name derives? Of course Doc wasnt immune to being beaten over the head with a Corvette.

Players included John D, Chuck T, Marcy D, Carol D, Kenny and the Craiginator. GM was Elliott the Insane. If you werent there, you really missed it. I just wish Steve Long had been there.  Mars-Con 2009, Williamsburg VA.

it is with sad resignation I report to you that Batman has been killed. Foolishly he ignored Biff Tannen, the loser bully from Back to the Future,

and while Batman was looking for Saruman the White, Biff snuck his little 22 pistol up near the cowl and "capped the Caped Crusader like a bottle of Coke" to quote the inimitable Biff.

Gozer the Traveller

Gozer the Gozerian? 

Good evening.  As a duly-designated representative of the City, County and State of New York,  I order you to cease any and all supernatural activity and return forthwith to your place of origin  or to the nearest convenient parallel dimension.

Gozer the Destructor

Gozer the Traveler! 

She will come in one of the pre-chosen forms. 

During the "Rectification" of the Veldronai, 

the Traveler came as a large and moving Zorg! 

Then, During the Third "Reconciliation"

of the last of the Meketrik Supplicants, 

they chose a new form for him, that of a giant Sloar! 

Many Zugs and Zuuls knew what it was to be roasted 

in the depths of a Sloar that day, I can tell you...
