I was told there'd be no math on this test.

Be glad it's not an English test either, attribute your sources wink

Also, you don't NEED a scenario to play the game. Scenarios, in this sort of game, are set ways to play: special rules, alternate win conditions, several players vs. 1, pre-set teams, etc. You can just build your teams and play against each other without using any scenarios if you want, and there's no reason you couldn't make up your own custom scenarios.

Baron Blade BLEW UP the Insula Primalis volcano!?

Having now had a chance to listen to the podcast I think that's not what was said, they were talking about emailing CHristopher and getting reasons that characters would do something, and that it was more a "why would" Baron Blade blow up Insula Primalis' volcano rather than a "this happens in canon".

No, he said, and I quote, "The first question we asked was, "Why did Baron Blade blow up the volcano on Insula Primalis?"" Meaning that, according to the timeline given to them by Christopher, Baron Blade blew up the volcano, and he wanted to know why.

Right, when they are talking about reasons that characters do stuff (both mechanically and conceptually), not neccessarily about stuff that they have done in canon. I could be wrong, but that is the impression I got.

About 19 minutes in for those who want to hear it themselves

Edit: It's "Our latest conversation started with me asking him "Why did Baron Blade blow up the volcano on Insula Primalis?""

The important thing is whether it is in the game.  I want exploding volcano fights.

right. "why DID he." Not "why WOULD he."

Right.

This happened in our last game, what justification can we have to add in this awesome thing?

To take out/hamper Dawn?

Because his hatred of Legacy has extended to all super-powered beings, and Dawn's got herself an army of them?

 

Or because Dawn has an army.

Or perhaps Dawn and the Baron were working together, until Dawn, for reasons best not described screamed "Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal"

I think he's just opportunistic, and set up a conflict between the two with some well placed comments so he could blow up the Volcano and kill Legacy.

"Oh hi Dawn, Legacy said your super powers make you look fat."
