Pre Game Plotting
This is a place to coordinate and plan things with your fellow players prior to the game opening.

ETA: in case anyone is wondering, I made a sheet sorted by fandom of all the current holds - https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Es-zPEK8hGnMFzY9TPk6Y6OyeyizddVieCpmgiFiXAk/edit?usp=sharing

Also we're still updating info pages so if you have questions or see things that aren't answered, poke us :D

	Hmmmmm. I could do Tony Stark. He’s helpful in a pinch. But Endgame Tony or an earlier version that might make things interesting? What kind of characters are we looking for here? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	You know I'll never say no to any version of your Tony. And he would definitely be useful since there's no power/plumbing/etc :D Nat's gonna be Endgame. Not sure about Steve. In general, characters who would be functional in a survival type setting would be great. Probably not like... IDK... Gossip Girl types? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Is there a rule about canon updates? If I did an earlier version of Tony for Natasha to corral and it didn't work out, would I be able to update him? Naturally. I just mean in a sense of fighters/helpers/tech savvy/etc. You know me. My muse pool is a shallow one. Not too many folks in there. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	We don't have anything in there yet but I don't see any reason they wouldn't be allowed. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Hi, This is Beth! I have Pepper, Bruce, or Clint if any of those might interest you to bring Tony in. I also have Felicity Smoak, who is DCTV's version of Peter Parker without the spidey juice. I think they could be fun CR too! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	verystarry 2023-02-21 11:05 pm UTC (link)
	LOL I just commented on yours. I would love either of the three. There is great character stuff for Tony and all three of them. I never finished all of Arrow, but I did watch it back in the day. Felicity and Tony would be an epic duo. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I could give you Pepper and Felicity if you would like. Idk if I could have 2 geniuses in the same game. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	verystarry 2023-02-21 11:33 pm UTC (link)
	That makes sense. Whatever characters you decide to go with, Tony will be pleased. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mspotts 2023-02-21 11:37 pm UTC (link)
	Pepper and Felicity! What is Tony's canon point? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	verystarry 2023-02-21 11:41 pm UTC (link)
	I was initially thinking something early might be interesting from both a character and cooperative standpoint, but now with so many canon mates, it makes sense to choose Endgame as a canon point, I think. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mspotts 2023-02-21 11:43 pm UTC (link)
	Okay cool! I would go with Endgame myself, but I could have also changed it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Do we foresee the lack of Morgan as being potentially problematic? I don't know how the game will explain their being there. In some games, there is the presumption that they are in both places at once, so it might not be such an issue. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	If I can jump in here, Endgame might not be the best for this game. Morgan. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Do we know how the mechanics of the game will explain their appearance on the island? i.e., should dead characters be arriving pre-death or is there room for Tony (or Natasha) to show up after the fact? If it was just Tony, the Morgan factor wouldn't be as big of a deal, because there is the sense that Pepper is with her and things are progressing as they would after his death. I'm not sure how to maneuver that with a Pepper in game.

	I thought I had something about this written but damned if I can find it. A+ modding me. Anyway, when characters wake up, if they were near/at death or seriously injured, they will find themselves in the physical state they were in before that occurred. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	verystarry 2023-02-22 12:00 am UTC (link)
	That works for a post snap Tony, then. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	_shieldless_ 2023-02-21 11:57 pm UTC (link)
	Post death arrival is fine. With the spooky basis of the game, I'm not sure a tender age NPC is a good idea. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	verystarry 2023-02-21 11:59 pm UTC (link)
	For sure. I was assuming she would not be in the game. But that leaves Tony and Pepper in a spot where they would have to be worried about who was looking after her back home? I don't know if that's a problem. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	If y'all are comfortable playing the panicked parents then go for it! <3 (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	A plus with the late Endgame canon point is that Tony and Steve have buried the hatchet. Unless writing that out is something that interests you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_shieldless_ 2023-02-22 12:08 am UTC (link)
	I'm game for anything, but I haven't decided Steve's canon point yet. It might be post snap but before Endgame. To be denied the plan to go back to Peggy might break him. LOL (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	verystarry 2023-02-22 12:10 am UTC (link)
	Ok, well let me know. Playing an angry, bitter, broken Tony for too long might not be fun. But the problem is, Morgan is really the thing that pulled him out of his funk, so..... yeah. I really don't see how I can make the character work pre-Morgan. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_shieldless_ 2023-02-22 12:13 am UTC (link)
	We'll figure it out. <3 (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I'm considering Wanda circa WandaVision, if that would be okay? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
