OSR Commentary On The MLA2 Night Moves By Anthony Herring For The Marvel Super Heroes Advanced & Session Report

 "The theft of an obscure diary from the Metropolitan Museum of Art. A series of unsolved disappearances in Chinatown. A ghostly apparition in a Chinese restaurant. Are these unrelated incidents, or are they segments of a greater whole?



"Attacks by the Silver Samurai and Si Fan assassins provide some clues to the heroes, who are drawn into the maelstrom of gang activity spreading through Chinatown in New York City. The exotic backdrop of Chinese culture sets the stage for a whirlwind introduction to the underground populated by tongs and ganglords. A search for the Celestial One becomes a matter of life and death for the heroes, who well may not live to see the Imperial Dawn..."

Tonight the PC  flew to San Franciso & the elecalation of the gang wars that started in New York City. MLA2 Night Moves By Anthony Herring picks right up from our last session on the blog here. The Si Fan looks to bring the heat down on the Nightshift and this module brings in Cloak & Dagger. The encounters here are kinda of a bit on the weak side but our DM expanded them with more tong operatives. 

We had the Si Fan playing for keeps and we were engaged by the Maggia. The other powers from (MLA1) After Midnight By Anthony Herring are still running around. These are not above using lethal force on the PC's as we've found out tonight! Add into this the tongs and the other gangs who are already trigger happy. We destroyed gangs, criminals, and others drugs, contraband, and more tonight! 
What's MLA1's adventure plot? Well according to the MLA2 Night Moves wiki entry;"The adventurers see a ghost that sends them by boat to investigate the theft of a crate of statues. The adventurers must also protect Chinatown from gangs, especially the Si Fan assassins and their henchman, the Constrictor, the Beetle and the Blizzard. While shutting down a network of drug dealers, the heroes also have a chance to run into the Silver Samurai." Tonight was one of those nights where we moved the adventure forward 
We ran into henchmen tonight &  it went into a bit of a stalmate tonight. We went into a bit of overtime tonight after dealing with a ton of Si Fan minions tonight. The  MLA2 Night Moves   adventure is an adventure that suffers from sequel syndrome & is not quite as strong as the first one. This adventure concentrates on moving the PC's deeper down into the rabbit hole of the gang war and that's fine.
