PROLOGUE Later, at the Baxter Building, the Avengers confer with the Fantastic Four in front of the time machine built by the Latverian tyrant, Victor Von Doom! “Time is pretty resilient, Avengers,” says Mr. Fantastic. “It has a way of sorting things out on its own. I wouldn’t worry too much about it.” “Really?” asks […]

Cloak and Dagger
Posted by The Angry Piper on August 2nd, 2018
A brief interlude from my Time Trap campaign: a while back I saw an advertisement for a new TV series set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe based on third-string teenage duo Cloak & Dagger. Because the show was hyped pretty early, I forgot about it until I stumbled across it by accident. Apparently, it’s on […]

Posted by The Angry Piper on July 3rd, 2018
It’s been a while since I’ve posted an After Action Report, and Forgotten Heroes has given me a hankerin’ for some supers gaming. I’ve decided to convert another old TSR Marvel Super Heroes RPG module to Super Mission Force. This time around: MH-2: Time Trap, featuring the Mighty Avengers! The antagonist of this adventure is none other […]

Posted by The Angry Piper on June 29th, 2018
Perhaps it’s a bit self-aggrandizing (sorry, couldn’t help it), but I managed to complete yet another submission for Forgotten Heroes this month. It just came together on its own, as I had no plans to do another conversion. Vigilante is a DC character who has undergone several incarnations, and is not to be confused with […]

Posted by The Angry Piper on June 27th, 2018
As Ringo would say, “Peace and Love, Peace and Love…” As Forgotten Heroes draws to an end this year, I have saved the truly worst for last. I present to you: The Aquarian! Sigh. Where to begin? The Aquarian’s name is Wundarr, and he was born on planet Dakkam. When he was an infant, his father put […]
Forgotten Heroes 2018 Submission 2: The Plant Man!
Posted by The Angry Piper on June 12th, 2018
I’m trying to get three submissions in for the Forgotten Heroes challenge this month, and here is number two. If you found Water Wizard to be a bit of a tool, well, congratulations. You’re a great judge of character. But Water Wizard lives life like a boss compared to this guy: Behold! The Plant Man! Samuel Smithers was […]
Forgotten Heroes 2018, Submission 1: The Water Wizard!
Posted by The Angry Piper on June 5th, 2018
It’s June, which means it’s time for Forgotten Heroes! Last year my fellow miniatures enthusiast Carrion Crow invited me to take part in the Forgotten Heroes challenge. I played hard to get at first, but then when I saw how much fun it was going to be, I begged him to let me take part. […]
