I have finally published my second arc. Originally, I just wanted to use it for Blood Crucible's plot. I'd planned to run him and Jez Cavell through it (and Keen if possible) purely for RP and to advance the character's story.
As I was working on it, though, I realized two things: 1. this was going to include my first custom villain group and 2. I get 3 publication slots and am only using 1 so far. So I decided to try and make it so that anyone could jump in and give it a shot. That involved a lot more exposition as well as taking out some of the stuff that assumed BC and Jez would be there. Some of that stuff I just generalized. Some of it I just had BC himself fill in.
I'm very happy with it except that I accidentally made the final AV a lot tougher than I'd intended. Thank you, Fyre and Keen, for shuffling characters around to make that defeat possible. I'll cut him down a bit and we can replay it if you two want.
I'm happy with the way the arc turned out overall, and feel satisfied with the story (most important!). Now I need to figure out if #3 will be something self-indulgent (Styrm) or something more accessible (like the "rescue people from a burning building" idea I had).
P.S. Fyre and/or Keen: did either of you catch the explanation of BC's superhero name in all that plot exposition? :)

If it was in a NPC dialog, I most certainly missed it. With all the fighting going on, I often forget to go back and read everything. If it was in a mission description however... I missed it, too. :P
I'll possibly solo the arc with Stronghold sometime soon (on Heroic) just so I can re-read everything. He also needs the badges. And that 1 Merit lurking somewhere in the first mission. ;)

It's in a mission description somewhere. Now that you're looking for it, you'll probably spot it. :)
I did catch the name explanation. I'm going to take Fyre or Andy or someone through it this week, to see what the EB version of Antonio is, as soon as I finish getting Austru caught up to BC2.
And no way are we having a do-over! BC owes Blaze now. He's not getting out of that one!
Heh... getting out of the debt wasn't the intent. Let me know if you guys find that wayward merit.
Oh, and I checked on Antonio before I logged off last night. I thought I'd made him a 3D. I mis-remembered. He's Dark Blast/Dark Armor. When I get a chance, I'll change one of those.
