Monthly Adventures....

       One of the things I am fortunate to be able to do month in and month out is a monthly superhero game with a great group of local friends. The genre.... it almost speaks to us.

       As much as I hate telling people about my character, I feel that as a part of my blog, I am fully in my right to do so.

       Jenni Jones is a great character. The grandaughter of my Golden Age hero, Lightning Lady, Jenni inherited her weather control powers from her grandmother. She is a renown professor and pretty famous archeologist who believes all relics belong in a museum. (See where I went with this... Indiana Jones meets Storm... Yeah... I know you love me.)

Here is the game from Wednesday night from Jenni's point of view.

       As ambassador to this gala from the American Institute of Antiquities and Freedom, I got to arrive in style. Not something a professor of my stature and Archeologist extraorinare gets to do very often. Usually I am covered with dirt, or uncomfortably traveling in ecconomy class to my next archeological site. My grandmother, after whom I was named, and whose powers I inherited, hated these things. I think I may have inherited that from her as well. But asked by both the Institute as well as the NSA (a professor has to suplement their income somewhere) to attend this event, I have to admit the relic that provides power and labor had me intregued. So I got a gorgeous gown that I made sparkle like the clearest night and doned my fedora and off I went to the event.

        It was the usual celeb filled hobnob I hate. A guy who looked like, but due to legal issues could not be identified as Brad Pitt, tried to impress me. I think he may have finally understood that I hated him as I not so smoothly broke myself away. But there were some non celebrities as well. The most notable, to me at least, was spies known to me from three of America's greatest foes. Also there the Gormande, who instantly made me lose my appitite, but I love his show. Johnny Nexus, who I actually follow on Twitter, was in the corner surrounded by people. One of the benefactors of my expeditions, Mr. Morgan, was here as well. After taking in my surroundings, I went over and told Mr. Morgan that not everyone in the gala was a friendly... but he ignored it as he talked with some guy from... I think he said Porcupine Industries.

       The Gormande let out a burp and the Mayor announced Klaxxus. Klaxxus talked about how the relic holds the power of a world within it and can power the Earth and it's weapons. At that point, pretty much every celebrity ripped off their face to reveal their true form.

         Lizard Men... why does it always have to be spies and Lizard Men?

         At this point the lizard men made a break for the device and then Klaxxus revealed that the reason she brought the device here is to keep it safe. I don't know if I believe it. But that device belongs in an Intergalactic museum of some sort, so I wrapped Klaxxus up in a whirlwind and raised her off the ground. A person who used to be someone who looked like Ben Affleck managed to overcome the wind and grabbed the device. Not needing to remain in the air, I started to lower us to the ground also started to create a lightning storm. I struck two of the spies and knocked them down for the count. The media loved that one, claiming I injured regular guests. I quickly assessed the situation. Johnny Nexus was trying to get the device, the Gormand, unhappy that his meal had been inturrupted, was starting to get into the fight and Morgan was arguing with the Porcupine Industries guy (who was now wearing Porcupine Armor.... how original). No one had noticed the Vice President of the United States was in trouble. As usual, up to me to save him, but maybe that would make the media shut up. I sauntered over to the Lizard Man who once looked like Tom Cruise, put my hand to his head and proceeded to shoot a lightning bolt into his cranium. He released the Vice President, but before I could enquire into his well being the roof to the building was ripped off and a giant figure that looked like it came out of an intergalactic jello mold appeared. He started lamenting his loss of the wrist thing, but Johnny Nexus informed us that they created the thing. Morgan offered the alien to fight the porcupine guy, who was incinerated. Morgan then shot him with his ray blast from his hand. The Gormand threw a bottle of alcohol and lit it on fire screaming something about flambe. I created a heatwave which dried out the alien and allowed him to burn to death.

        After the death of the alien,  the space ship that was hovering above the ship crashed into the ceiling  crashed into it, and I did everything I could but could barely keep the ceiling from collapsing. Johnny Nexus stepped in and he was able to hold it up.

      That was when I noticed a blue light near one of the entry ways. Out of it came two forms, one of them was a brain in a jar with a monacle.

        I know that creature, my grandmother faced him at the pyramids of Egypt in the 1930's. He is Herr Dr. Schpider!

       Our Group is filled with some really great creative people, all of whom I am lucky to be around.  My husband took the cake as the southern Tony Stark.  So lucky.

DC GAMEDAY... I will be there... Will you???

        So just to let everyone know, Lore Mister and I will running games at the DC Gameday on October 6-7. I am running Space 1889 and the Lore Mister is running Repo Men 1986: Miami (the first Repo Man game he ran was one of the greatest gaming experience of my life).
