About the adventure
A man in a dapper suit hides his face in New York city. It's become all too common for trench coats to be the iconic disguise of the burlier supers of the streets, The Thing's "incognito" outfit almost as infamous as his catchphrase. But the suit isn't a disguise. It's a challenge. He walks with pride, sensing the energy shift around him with every step. People cross the street. Fearless gangsters think twice. The spiritually sensitive shudder against the tidal quake of thinly veiled magical talent. Folks in the know are already slinking to the shadows to call the people who might know what to do - S.H.I.E.L.D., the Avengers, anyone at all. Doctor Victor von Doom, emissary and ruler of Latveria, walks the streets the most efficient route from the edge of the city to the mayor's office, making his presence unmistakable from island to island. For once the streets are quiet. What happens next? BAM! POW! SWING! SNIKT! Take a walk across a Marvel Earth of our own making, modeled after Earth-616! Have a chance to meet all of the iconic heroes and villains, with a focus on an investing and unique story in the Marvel world! Make a character ready for high adventure, whether they're in it for the world or themselves!

About me
Since I started playing tabletops I've loved all the joy it brings people at a table. It's like going through a fantastical novel with a group of like-minded lovers of adventure! I've been GM-ing for about 10 years, and every session is worth the memorable experiences that I hope both I and my players receive.

Creating your character
Ideally, we'll create characters together at Session 0, but feel free to bring your ideas and possibly a character concept along with you! Session 0 will give us the opportunity to see how your characters might interact as a team and what narrative the team might wish to pursue in this scenario.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
All you need is mic and Discord! I will set up a Foundry for us - a virtual tabletop with a lot of nice tools in it. Anything else is purely optional, as the Marvel Multiverse rulebook is free - and I can also provide the X-Men X-pansion rules for anyone whose interested in the expanded powers available!
What William brings to the table
I try to provide an engaging experience in every aspect from the tabletop, my narrative descriptions, attention to detail in the existing characters, music provided; suffice to say I look for every opportunity to make an experience that I would find fun as a player! At the core of it I want to provide a fun experience for everyone at the table. While I usually stick to the rules, I'm more in favor of what's going to help us enjoy the session.
Homebrew rules
If you have a power/ability/trait which you've gotten absolutely no use out of and you could have taken a different option, I allow players to switch out that un-used power for a different option at the end of the session even if that normally wouldn't be allowed.

How William creates a safe table
As said, I try to keep the focus on fun. The superhero world is a mirror of ours, however, and there are several heroes who struggle with real life problems along their super ones - an example is Iron Man, someone who has sunk in and out of his addiction to alcohol. I don't intend to press too sharply on any one difficult issue, but I encourage an open discussion of triggers and the like during Session 0 so we can make the game a comfortable space for everyone involved. If the issues are particularly sensitive, feel free to message me privately instead.
