Recap Page - "Previously in..." (Read This First!)

Modern Marvel Comics have a first page that explains what has gone before; "Previously in...".  This is understandable as the continuity has become more complex and mature over the years.

So this is the one page that newcomers should eventually read.  It will develop over time.  If it doesn't have what you are looking for, go to the Bullpen OOC (Out-Of-Character) thread for now.

Recap Page - "Previously in..." (Read This First!)

Current Players

The Watcher, Gamemaster
Nickname: GM or Gerry (my real-life name) but I don't really mind.
Gender/Pronoun: In real life, I am male. Online, I might be anything.  But, playing so many characters, they/their is probably the easiest to stick with.
Nationality/Location: I was born in England but have lived in Texas for most of my life.  I am currently just outside Fort Worth.
Online Time: Tuesday nights are usually the best for me but I can usually make anytime with just a little notice.
OS/Browser:  I alternate between Windows 10/Edge browser and iPhone 5 (yes, that old)/Safari browser.
Text Background: I use the default light background and sometimes the dark background.
Anything Else: I start every super game with the Mystery Men soundtrack.  It has been a good luck charm.  I will be playing it first IC reply.

Online Time: Variable. What Krazny said, pretty much. Currently, I can make any time work for Discord if need be, provided I have some forward warning. If I get a different job that might be more difficult, but we'll cross that bridge when we get there.
OS/Browser: Windows 10/Mozilla Firefox
Text Background: I use the green colour scheme, if that's what you mean.
Anything Else: At 31, it looks like I might be one of the younger players this time around. Like I said before, my knowledge of Marvel is very haphazard - I've read a bunch of things, and read about more, but I'm sure there are still lots of holes in what I know. As for Masks, I've played in a few online games by this point and even ran one, though sadly none of them got to a proper conclusion. Hope springs eternal, though!

Anything Else: Got started with the Wolfman/Perez New Teen Titans, moved on to Gruenwald's Captain America and got my heart (and wallet) broken by the second Clone Saga.

Here are a collection of links that help with this game.

Welcome to the Adventures of the Junior Sentinels - http://juniorsentinels.wikidot.com/
This is a great example of a Masks game.  It also has the major playbooks in a text format that works for this board.  I would love to thank and credit the creative soul(s) behind this game but I can't find their contact info...
