The Holgraphic Man's Opticar

M'Ladies Rolls

A holiday game with:
Dallas/Holographic Man
Me (Chris)/B-Man
Richard was the Ref
Basicly its a Kim Numan genre pastiche with the UK Avengers
This is the sequel of our last 40s and 50s games
Nice to be a player this time but we made to mix up refs
So we work for Broadsword the espionage division of UNIT and are investigating a trail of dead electronics experts and missing business diaries. Holographic man spied on offices remotely while b-man met targets and planted bugs and mostly used spy skills. He thought he was a bit better than he was and chatted up secretaries. They went clubbing and holographic man was dancing with a new starlet. We mostly wore suits MIB style and I had a cool apartment and armoury in London.
Had a bungled base infiltration and had a fight with goons where we got hurt but showed off powers. B-man released his bees from his body and they carried him over the wall to a guard tower identified by Holloographic mans vision as the best target. Bman got into a fight and accidently disarmed the guard in a cuffle and grappled him. The man screasmed so B-mav spewed bees into his face andmouth then used them to block all the windows. Guards were alerted by and alarm from the scuffle so Holographic man used his ray gun to burn a man's skin off, ignite his hair and clothes and left the guy falling from a wall 2 stories. Bman ended up throwing the guard two floors into courtyard and the bees attacled spotlights while he can along darkened walls with a captured smg and a silenced pistol.

Holographic man burned through the gates while their boss lady got inside and git into fight with guards. A guard wouldnt quit and pulled a grenaide and killed himself and injured Holographic man who was zaping guards. B-man set bees on guards and fired bursts at guards. It was somewhat messy and bombs went off lots. Played bond soundtracks in background and gogo for the clubs and london scenes.
Tracked down the science villains and trapped in their lair. Got to get the villains story before trapped by a steel wall and a robot released. B-man distracted it and broke his shotgun that he tried to blind the robot with. Holographic man cut through wall and hopped through. While B-man got clobbered twice badly, a laser in the back cut through the robots armoured shell. It identified the new threat and turned to Holographic man trying to grab him through the hole. B-man shoved a grenaide in the injury and dived in the hole. The Robot finally fell but the vikllaons had escaped. It was too slow to cut out so B-man trained in nuclear demolitions placed the robots atomic power cell in the right spot and the agents went back ot the hole then zapped the cell. It was a big blast with a jet of flame through the hole and the base power dead. Hollographic man demonstrated his holographic illusions from his weird eye by making light.
The found the villains dead and clues it was by a second robot unseen and apparently smarter than people thought. Was lots of fun. Made hundreds of bee puns. Only used our flashy powers in lethal situations. I failed almost every spot roll and swapped d100 set in game. Failing was kinda fun though. Richard did a great job of escalating the investigation and damaging us just enough and left a good hook at the end.
I got to use my bees in strange ways and were pretty terrifying. The holographic man gave me some od looks. But he has a weird alien eye and a raygun. Its a great distraction. Im writing a list of geat I wish I had including a Lockpick gun, rope and grapple, a comando knife & a helmet. We got to change clothes and costumes lots. Business man with bowler to all black comando to diving suit. Good for my toy line and comic. Lots of bee roleplay moments like having a smoke of cigarettes to calm my bees dowm. More details of my mysterious past as an astronaut came out like my flashbacks to my venusian amazon herteic Queen Bee who saved me with her alien bees. I dont mention her to earthlings, it feels like a dream. Has transatlantic accent but changes often from years undercover. Everyone has a cool car. Everyone has sidekicks to do errands. Started a group karma pool for future. I will try and get stunts for my power of mindlink to my swarm and regeneration when bees inside me. TSR Marvel turned out to be a great fit.
Game toilet breaks are commercial breaks. We sometimes mentioned adventures in our characters' own comics. Trying to be generous and agreeing on difficulties for rolls and messing with powers rather than saying nope or capping power ranks. We probably could beat a street or lower rank mutant superhero. The rules we use mean you can get higher rank powers but more liabilities and we intend to use them in game. Enemies who get to know you will try to nerf your powers using Origin and power source against you.
Will play again and either of us can run it and will share NPCs and get a story bible set up like a TV show. Im all for having alt orgs like SHEILD, UNCLE, SMERSH, HIVE, HYDRA, PAGAN, GALAXY, The Minastry, ZOWIE, SPECTRE, THRUSH, KAOS, Control, AIM, COBRA, SPHYNX, SHADOW, STRIKE, Taskforce UK/Cloud-9, OSI, FLAG, WASP, Spectrum, WIN, BISHOP, EUROSEC, PATRIOT, SMASH, HAMMER, SABRE, ANVIL, JAWS, ITF, Team America, Department S, Nemesis, International Rescue
