Super villian's super schemes

[Deleted]

Currently any story thread in progress is one demensional, action / reaction. This works with four or five heroes fighting one villian. But as a villian I have some ideas that would be multi demensional, different aspects of one plan that would come together in one culmination. To maintain the different aspects with out getting confused I would like to create a story sub board, one that would contain 3 or 4 threads. Each one would be a different part of one story, (evil plan) where any hero or combination of heroes would have to contend with, while each story would be different they would still be connected and then ultimately come together in one great climax.

Personally, I love the idea of this. It requires someone willing to not only come up with all these various arcs, but someone who is creative enough to ave them all ultimately tie together...and someone with the commitment to see it through to the end. Sounds like you're all these things, though, so the prospect of such a villain/events sounds awesome!

If this takes off, don't forget good ole DD, eh!?

Thank you,
I like to think I can be those things, the idea comes from the times I played the paper Marvel rpg. Acting as "judge" you would manage battles between any number of heroes reacting to and adapting the story as each players actions would dictate. I was hoping to bring some of that aspect of the game here.

Also give all you 'goodies' something to do.

Would this sub-board be only for your personal story arc? or would others be able to put story arcs in it?

It would be my story arc, there are a couple of heroes that already want to be involved and some more I was hoping would as well. While there are some stories specific to certain heroes, ideally it would still be open to everyone. My opening comments would include something along the lines of challenging the power of Loki, something like that. I have some specific story lines in mind but I wanted to collaborate with other villians, any who want to work with Loki to bring down some supers. Because there would be multiple stories that are directly linked together I just though a subboard would help keep them organized and together, not to be anything special, here is an example of what I thought it would consist of.

Sub board - "The Influence of Evil"
Thread 1- Introduction and instructions
Thread 2- "Ambush" - Daredevil
Thread 3- "Missing" - Bruce/Hulk and Betty
Thread 4- "The Quest" - Dr. Doom, Shield, Avengers

And then as each story comes to a close
Final Thread - "Surprise" - all current parties

The general idea is that any villians involved would know the end game bu the heroes do not, and as the villians we would be trying to steer the story/hero towards Loki's "Surprise" while the heroes are trying to stop the villians.

Dont get me wrong, I want the heroes to win, I jus want to make it interesting alon the way.

I can get behind that. I have not had sub-boards be specifically for particular story-arcs in the past on any boards I have run, so I thought I'd ask for clarification. Seems to me like a good plan you have here.
