I’ll just add my two cents here that even though I’ve unfortunately had to just accept I like the idea of playing comic book character instead of actually playing them, all the times I’ve tried Excelsior out the staff has been great and they’ve really taken a lot of time and care with the backgrounds they’ve put together and trying to weave interesting character connections.
I’m really glad to see they’re still going strong.

The open roster is, well, lackluster.
All fairness, that’s every roster comics game. Pretty much all of them have all the popular characters claimed and doing only as many scenes as absolutely necessary to not lose claim to the character.

From our General FAQ:
Q: How do I get that one character I always play/have always wanted to play?
A: It depends. You can always ask us if we have plans for a specific character. If we do, we’ll let you know; if we don’t, it might be a character we’re really not interested in including. On the other hand, it could be a character we’re not too invested in but don’t mind bringing in. It’s a toss up. You’ll have to ask. Just remember that either way, the character will be written to fit in our world.I’m currently on the website without being logged in and the Character Openings board is locked, which makes it rather more difficult for a person without a character on the game to keep an eye out for those 48 hour pre-opening notices-- assuming that that is, indeed, where that information is posted. I couldn’t find it elsewhere, but I might not have looked enough.
I don’t have any particular dog in this race beyond being someone who periodically checks the roster for signs of someone who might be interesting to try, but it does seem a little counterintuitive to gate those opening notices to the existing players, given that the roster setup means prospective players without any appealing options otherwise have to scroll through all of the roster tabs every few days/weeks/(insert other interval here) in the hopes of seeing something that appeals to them. Being able to get some advance notice of character availability seems as if it would be a boon to anyone in that position.

@renaveleigh I checked to see if that forum was open, and it was open to guests, we assumed that being open to guests would allow anyone to see it. The forum is set to everyone now, so everyone should be able to see it. Our apologies that we were not aware of the difference, but this has been corrected now. Thanks so much for speaking up!

@renaveleigh As said above, we were under the wrong impression as to how viewing permissions worked. Thank you for pointing it out so we could fix it.

I keep mashing that refresh button and still don’t see Howard the Duck.
Boo. Boo, I say.

Also missing Doreen Green, much to the dismay of one specific player on the game.

Don’t forget post-lawsuit Daniel Jermain.

Bucky O Hare! Nevermind, not marvel.

Game’s good, would recommend.
I’ve already thrown enough of my soul at it that I am already burning out!
