Welcome, Tim/Merctime!  V&V is a fantastic game, and I'm sure you'll greatly enjoy it.

I look forward to hearing how your games go!

Welcome aboard. Glad to have new members.

I'm curious if there is going to be a new online VnV game I can join; I see that the last one was posted in June/August, so I don't know if that one's still going on or not.

Thanks! My avatar is Venoc Warlord from Heroscape, my favorite game. I'm a moderator on Heroscapers.com, as well.

Thanks for the info. I hope to join in a game whenever one starts up.

And here's a shot from a couple of years ago, when my son ran a V&V session at a con (with about 10 players), where the dimension the heroes adventured/fought in was represented by a Heroscape map he put together (V&V counters on Heroscape tiles).

Welcome MegaSilver glad to see new people here

Hey Agent of Fortune welcome aboard nice to see new members

Welcome, Erik!  Feel free to fire any questions you have for us!

Do you play in a face-to-face group, or online?

Hello!

Great to see you back, G7! 

You were missed G7, welcome back!

About...27 years ago I was introduced properly into the world of table top rpg. At first it was exclusively TSR D&D, then I discovered marvel superhero rpg. It was fun for what it was, but didn't have a good feel. Left and right new games were thrown at me. Star Trek (zzzzz) palladium's robotech, (later TMNT) DC rpg, cyberpunk, Star Wars and others.
None of them had an original feel like V&V.
My first superhero I played was in G7s game. I rolled up a teenage fire using hero. I insisted on him wearing a cape. Because I thought in the eyes of society, Heroes wore capes.
It didn't matter if he had a streak of fire behind him as he flew though the air. Besides, the heat he gave off would make the cape flap even if there was no wind.
Moving on .

My favorite games to play quickly reduced down to AD&D and V&V. Other systems seemed too rules heavy or complicated at first glance (insert champions or ICE here )

As years passed and ages increased, I never stopped playing RPGs entirely. Even with a family at home and being on the road for work, I end up (mostly as a GM) playing every so often. And last week, when I was ready to complete my Pathdinder campaign arc, my players mutinyed and forgot the pathfinder character sheets and brought the V&V stuff.

So I ended up helping 2 new players create their first super heroes, just like I did all those years ago.

I decided , due to many past complaints about low hit points being common, and some heroes being "one hit wonders" ( one hit and they get KOed) I would have their starting base line be 8 instead of zero for stats. So 3d6 +8 for stats.
It worked. Nobody has pushover hit points in this game...no where do I find stats for the ultimate nullifier?

Anyhow, that's my intro. Sorry for posting elsewhere first. I'm the sort that just tries to make Optimus prime transform before reading the directions.

I stuck a donut in my cd rom drive, that was about it.

Hey D27...

Boy is that the short version.
Ever wonder how many hours we rpg'd?

I remember full weekends 6-8 he's on a Friday, usually 10-12 on a Saturday with a few breaks and then about 8 more on Sunday...

Did we ever watch TV?

I remember we spent a weekend watching the entire Robotech saga... I wanted to drown Minmay better than halfway through it.

Then there was my 13 yr Greyhawk campaign... How sad, All my meticulous notes, drawings and all my multiple 1st ed books/every 1st ed mods and suppluments are now gone from a basement flood.
Man that still upsets me. I could have wrote a book from those notes alone. Oh well. At least all my V&V stuff was upstairs.

...and all my notes!

Come to think of it, my first Greyhawk character I played was actually an npc I took over. I had high ambitions and asked to play a drow elf...luckily there was one available.
My first rolled up Greyhawk character was a human thief...yes thief. They didn't call them rogues back then.
