Description

They have been gathered by the mysterious Emmisary. She has brought them all together at the wishes of the Ash Mother, who claims to be the first Phoenix. The Ash Mother has told them of the holocost that can be brought about by a person who is corrupted by the Phoenix entity. Now, with the use of the Emissary's dimensional traveling abilities they will randomly jump around the Marvel multiverse hunting down corrupt Phoenix. Of course they don't encounter a Phoenix at every turn, but their trips are never boring.

This campaign takes Marvel and mixes it with the best Sci-Fi TV show ever, Sliders. Only this goes to the extreme. You'll get to meet new versions of old characters, and even revisit some of the more popular Marvel alternate universes. There will always be a bit of comedy interlaced in the adventures somewhere (as I have a sense of humor and like to use it a lot).

If this game sounds interesting to you, and you are interested in learning a little more about it, then you can check out the current line-up of characters and read a brief description of their adventures so far by visiting my Marvel Webpage called "The Age Of Marvels". When there just go to the Phoenix Force page and you can check out the players. If you don't need to check it out, contact me, and I'll send you an e-mail with some information on how the game works. For those of you who aren't used to the new Marvel SAGA game, it is similar to the old system, but no dice are used anymore. Instead it is a card-based system. I will inform you of the cards you have, and that are in play. There's nothing for you to have to buy. I am looking for players who like super-hero comics, and who can role play, I want character interaction, not just people telling me their characters actions. If you are interested, then send me e-mail at the above address and let me know. I'm open-minded when it comes to characters, but I won't let you play a Superman style character.
