I'll moderate this one running villains. Randomizer declares the following:
Visionary
Expatriette
Team Leader Tachyon
The Indestructible Bunker
The Argent Adept
vs.
Baron Blade
Friction
Ermine
Proletariat
Fright Train
in
Time Cataclysm.
Modulating the difficulty, a series of coin flips says Fright Train, and only Fright Train, will operate in Advanced mode.
I'll take Expatriette this time.
Opening hand: Assault Rifle, RPG Launcher, RPG Launcher, Arsenal Access
I'll take AA and whichever V5 villain works in the turn order - looks like Prole. Or are you controlling each villain?
Opening hand: Alacritous Subdominant, Inventive Preparation, Instrumental Conjuration, Rhapsody of Vigor
I'm planning to run all the non-hero decks.
Edit to add: I won't be playing any of the heroes.
I'll take TLT.
Opening hand: HUD Goggles, Blinding Speed, Fleet of Foot, Research Grant
I'm in for Bunkering down.
Opening hand: External Combustion, Grenade Launcher, Recharge Mode, Heavy Plating
Chalk me up for The Visionary!
Opening Hand: Mental Divergence, Foresight, Decoy Projection, Cerebral Hemorrhage
Ok guys. I'll get this set up and post the Baron's turn post-grading tonight.
OK, here we go..... The formatting on some of this may be different that what folks are accustomed to, but I'm more used to moderating games at BGG, and this system helps me keep track of things.
I'm unlikely to be able to update more than once daily most days, as 6 decks is a bit much to carry around with me. I'll update more when I can.

Tachyon doesn't like that Impulsion Beam one bit.
Having one player run all the villains is great for reducing confusion, but does that mean that it will take almost a week to do each round?
Also, just to confirm, the hero order is as in the first post, so I'm up next as Ex-Patriette (after Friction)?
Dpt - I've got a few days that I. An get extra turns in, but it does mean this game will move slowly. I tried to be up front about that, and I apologize if anybody felt misled.
OK, no problem. I do enjoy these PBF games, as you can take your time to think about it.
One thing before I can run Friction's turn: who's taking damage from Turn the Tables? (It would target the hero with the most cards in play, but everybody's tied right now.)
If I can get an answer in the next couple hours, I can probably get Friction's turn (at least) done tonight.
I'd request not to take it as BB will keep hitting me
Pending resolution of Turn the Tables, the current status is as follows (with Hero HP interspersed so I can keep track of them for relevent effects and triggers)
