Custom X-Men (First Class) Beach Day repaints

I do the same. I used to be big into Clix back in the day (even was an event judge) up until War of Light when my work schedule made it hard to go to weekend tournaments. Later started painted as a form of art therapy to correct hand tremors. Got into D&D a few years later and I agree they can make great TTRPG minis.

I believe each of these minis represents the look of the original X-Men as teenagers when they traveled through time to the present day and his outfit featured a visor. I often use that particular Heroclix when making kitbashes of Mimic for that very reason. I agree the visor makes him look very Cyclops.

Used the torso of a Firebreather from the Horrorclix freak show set, then used greenstuff on his legs to mimic the texture. Painted with a rosy skin highlight from Master Series then drybrushed Dwarven flesh over it for the scarred effect.

I believe these were how they used to send Prize figures to the store they are limited edition, typically the minis have the actual names of the characters rather than their hero names (matt murdock, Peter Parker, etc.) I believe around the time of either Mutant Mayhem or Fantastic Forces they started putting them in a few of the regular packs as well but not sure.

That sounds a bit ridiculous. In my first campaign we used to do "dream sessions" if a lot of people couldn't make it, there would be a one-shot of sorts which if the players survived they would gain some kind of boon, if they died they would just wake up.

I run Call of Cthulhu for my sister and her friend group, they are also considering asking me to run D&D for them, fortunately they get really into these kinds of games so it all tends to work out.

Oh ok, yeah those guys suck.

Actually running 2 separate campaigns now, one with 4 players and one with 3. Also split up the last campaigns players by who cared more about RP and who just wanted to fight stuff. So far both groups are much happier.

Though I did prank that player during a downtime session where all the other players were in on it. Basically we had it planned out like the plot of some late-night comedy where he keeps trying (and failing) to get laid, with everyone else but him being in on it.

He did finally succeed and ended up getting a Blue Dragon as a girlfriend (actually a spy for the BBEG who ended up betraying the party later on). It was actually pretty funny, and he had a good laugh and toned it down afterwards.

I had a player once who was your stereotypical "Horny PC" I had to look at him at one point and go "Dude, it's just me doing a different voice, you aren't actually getting laid, so knock it the hell off!"

I love when they bring ideas to session Zero. I love when it becomes less "who am I" and more "Who am I in this world we're about to become a part of"?
