This week Team DC took the victory. Roger was the first player to defeat Kang for the Justice League and Clarkiep recruited Wonder Woman and took the achievement for being the first player to recruit Green Lantern.
For the Marvelites Lel defated Kang as well and Brendan recruited Thing.

I loved the Amelia Peabody books! I read the entire series about 5 years ago. They are such fun books to read. The plots aren't always the greatest, but as the series goes on you really become attached to the characters.

I really enjoyed this book. Amelia had me cracking up quite a bit as I read the book. I love how witty and no nonsense she is. I definitely look forward to reading the other books in the series.

Would post apocalyptic count for urban modern setting? Or are you looking more for being in a city?

This week saw a new hero arise for Team DC and that had a huge impact in this week's results. Kevin made a lot of points for Team DC, especially with the recruitment of Green Lantern and Catwoman.
Nara added to these by defeating Kang.
For Team Marvel Sam (Iselin) recruited Daredevil. How appropriate at the moment.
Both teams managed to acquire 2 Energy Cells.


message 591: by Kevin (new)

Kevin Roger, I'm only new but my guess would be a city setting. A post apocalyptic version would be like Newcago in Steelheart, but as I said, I'm not the boss so I'm just guessing.

I'm looking for a modern city setting here. And that should still have some form of civilization.
