Thanks for the feedback! Very inspiring for me to continue this Quest given how strong and reception is! I'm not sure when I'll run another one though, given my other creative obligations and desires at this moment. While I am a little disappointed it doesn't some as heroic and inspiring as the superhero vibe I was going for, I guess a bit of grimdark and realism stuff might be good too. It's been fun building the superhero "mythos" in these threads along with the players, though it hasn't quite hit its stride yet.
For the sake of posterity-
>If you dropped the FridgeDropping the fridge on the Viking was the expected outcome, and would have been the one with the least setbacks to the character in the form of injury. My idea was you'd pin the Viking to the floor, assuming he's defeated, only for him to somehow push the fridge off himself without help to show off his super strength, before then having to battle him by breaking one of his arms. I always intended the final battle to be the most costly and bloody to Max, but trying to choke him was a dumb move so I felt it needed to be punished. Instead of getting the choice to set the Viking on fire or not, you would have gotten the chance to kill him in public with his own sword after knocking him back out of the kitchen or through the window of the diner; thus letting you decide if "The Mask" was a no-kill superhero or not. Personally, I would have preferred the no kill option, as it would make future villains and encounters more interesting, especially since you'd have to be a lot more creative with your gadgets and combat abilities. Though I'm not sure how much of a focus that could even have for a long form quest like this; I'm already tired of writing out "batons" and "tonfas".
