When you reach a Milestone (and hit the 10 XP trigger) you may choose a new Milestone, usually at the beginning of the next Act. This could be an Event Milestone, a new Hero Milestone that you've created for your hero or that you didn't choose to pursue the first time, or the same Milestone all over again. That's your choice.
Cheers, Cam

That said, I still think he's a douche for what happened in Civil War, even if the rest of the Marvel Universe have kissed and made up. You're not alone in that, Civil War really wasn't Tony's best moment. I don't mind him in the movies, but everytime I see him in the comics, I just can't help but think back to Civil War. One Moment in Time really doesn't help either, since everytime I hear about it (I haven't read it) gives me the impression that he's a hypocrite on top of being a douche. When you reach a Milestone (and hit the 10 XP trigger) you may choose a new Milestone, usually at the beginning of the next Act. This could be an Event Milestone, a new Hero Milestone that you've created for your hero or that you didn't choose to pursue the first time, or the same Milestone all over again. That's your choice. Ok so I can choose to keep it, if I wish. I just wanted to make sure, because from how I understood it you lost it, and had to replace it on the datafile. Glad we got that worked out.

I got the .pdf the other day and I have flipped through it. It sucks the art is fuzzy but the imaging they used was powerful.
I cannot wait to get the dead tree version to really read through it. Has anyone started to run a game with it yet? I just ran one for playtesting and that was it.
@ Cambanks: So, the section with Carnage and his spawn, is there anyway to get full powered (like a PC) version of his specific spawn? Such as Toxin, etc?

Has anyone started to run a game with it yet? I just ran one for playtesting and that was it. No I don't think anyone's doing a campaign with this RPG yet. I haven't even playtested it yet, still understanding some of the stuff like Stress and Trauma. Recently buying the Smallville RPG helps with this to a degree, but I'm still finding things I need to study. Plus I'm trying to get a hang of creating a new datafile. Something I really want to make sure I understand, as I have a habit of only using the system, and rarely (if ever) the setting. As of making this post I'm just about finished with him, and may post him here or on another board on this forum for constructive criticism.

I plan to do something once the game gets to me, but that won't be till mid march, because Amazon hates me.

Anyone have any idea if the system 'does' cosmic? Thanos, Galactus, Gladiator, several of the heralds and so on? Also, I'm *really* having a hard time reading the PDF. I suppose I never realised before, but even the thought of ploughing through 300+ pages on a tv screen is putting me off. Sod it. I will print and bind it in sections, in greyscale. All the PDFs I buy from Drivethru and RPGnow, and I just realised. Aside from skimming through them, I haven't read a single one cover to cover.
Saying that, the days are long gone when I would squint at a near art free (or may as well be cause the art was crap) bullet stopper of several inches depth and really soak it all up. I still have nightmares about Hero 5e.
Say what you like about MURPG - it's clunky in places, some stuff is just busted, other things aren't clear, but the presentation and art were pretty good, the size was right and the game section made easy reading to get you into it. These days I seem to have so many WTF? moments with new games I wonder why I bother*
That said... I will plough on. Once I figure out the rules to my satisfaction I'll have to get on with the business of a character creation section to replace the vague, hand waving method in the book. Should be easy, with a list of dice to assign, I expect.
*hereditary stupidity can never be ruled out.

@ Cambanks: So, the section with Carnage and his spawn, is there anyway to get full powered (like a PC) version of his specific spawn? Such as Toxin, etc? You could tweak that Symbiote Spawn power set without much trouble at all and drop it into a standard hero datafile, sure. Easy! Cheers, Cam

I Think you can make Cosmic characters, the trick I think is trying to condense all their powers into two Powersets, as well as SFX and Limits to create the flavor that is their powers. It's doable, but until an Event book, with them in it, is published it's going to be guess work on the Watchers part. Personally I like the book, the whole creating a new Datafile thing I brought up before was off putting, but the fact it's there, and playing an original character is an option, not exactly encouraged but still an option, makes up for the fact it's near the back of the OM section.

Is the actual physical book out yet, or just the PDF?

I don't know I got the PDF file, but I'd think they'd both come out within days of each other.

@ WK: No, I think the release date for the physical book is Feb. 28th. I pre-ordered mine so I hope I get it sooner then later. cambanks: Any suggestions? I do not want to make it overpowered or underpowered.
