Hello everybody,
I’ve just read the Spanish version of World in Peril (so you can imagine English is not my mother language, sorry for that) and I want to congratulate Kyle Simmons and the rest of the team for creating such a great superheroes game. I think this is what I’ve been looking for so long to play those epic supers stories that we can’t do with others rpgs. I can’t wait for playing our first adventure.
Nevertheless, I’ve got a couple of questions I’d like to ask to the community, if you don’t mind:
First, I’d like to know how do you manage those typical situations in superhero stories when the characters fight each other, because they don’t know the other one is a heroe too, their interest are opposites in that moment, their relations or bonds, maybe have deteriorated by some sort of circumstances, etc? I mean, as you can see in the first movie of The Avengers where Thor and Iron Man started a fight for bringing Loki with one of them. Or in the recent second season of Daredevil, when The Punisher and the Devil of Hell’s Kitchen fight over Grotto’s life or death (if The Punisher was a main character in the game, not a villain, of course).
In the second place and I think it is related to my first question, when you take the Help and Interfere movement, you can give the target +1 or -2 for the next dice roll, right? But, if EIC doesn’t roll the dice, what it’s the -2 penalty for? Do you use it against another player’s character roll? Because if you do that, there is a chance of starting a quarrel between they inside the fiction, isn’t it?
Thank you.
