Actual play of some solo ICONS adventures

Icons

No, haven't been around much.

Have been playing some Icons adventures and have come up with some characters I like. I haven't come up with a nice way of presenting them, but here's one I've tried, anyway: I write it as text in Word and the dice rolls and mechanics are done as footnotes. I haven't gone back to try and re-read it, but you can take a look at it if you want.:

Quickstep (so far)

Be aware that there are adventure spoilers in there.

The first three adventures are a comparison of Heroic Icons and Mythic using random adventures from the same source, and a conversion of the old D&D adventure Tomb of Horrors.

The other adventures are, in no particular order:

  • Day of the Swarm
  • , by Fainting Goat Games
  • Danger in Dunsmouth
  • by Ad Infinitum. It mostly features a different character (Professor Destiny) but Quickstep comes in to bat clean-up
  • Gangbusters by Ad Infinitum.

(I have also done Whiteout! and Jailbreak as solos, but I think I'll wait until I've added The Aotearoa Gambit to the list. Those three pretty much cry out for a JLA/Avengers level team, and my sort-of-Legion-of-Substitute-Heroes work well there.)
