12% of a Plan - A Marvel Crisis Protocol Podcast

For our 59th episode, we have a new format! Oryx Wild reached out to me about wanting to a series of episodes aimed at supporting newer players to understanding the different aspects of this great game. In our first crack at this concept, we explore all 29 of the current affiliations in the game, discussing how effective they are, how easy they are to pilot, and even how easy it is to get your hands on the models! If you're a more experienced player, this episode may not be for you, unless you'd like to critique our takes! Like Emma Frost does for Iceman, we hope that these episodes might help to release your Untapped Potential!

In our 58th episode we are joined by first time guest, and runner up of this year's Cancon event, the one and only Jeff_Vader! Jeff joins us to tell us why an oldie but a goldie model is still one of the best 5 threats in the game. Tune in and hear all the reasons why that to this day, Nothing Stops The Juggernaut!

In our 57th episode and our 6th Tricky Task, we have a surprise guest to talk about this one! It is a battle of the educationally high achievers, as two lists of doctorate wielding super-people duke it out, for the title of the best of brains and brawn! I apologise for the amount of time between episodes, life became a bit big for a stretch and this pod got pushed to the side, but we are back!

In episode 56 we drop a new style of episode, a Weekend Wrap-Up! This format will be interviewing players who have won recent events! And in this Weekend Wrap-Up we are joined by the ever enthusiastic Nick Gentile (and a little protege) who tells us all about his 2026 CanCon tournament win, and the strange Defenders roster that he piloted to glory!

In our 55th episode, we are joined by the secretive, bitter, and warlike rival, Rusty! Rusty returns to tell us why the OG Victor Creed is a bad, bad man on the tabletop, and why you should be putting him in your rosters!

In episode 53, Trav and I reconvene to discuss our latest Tricky Task, to build a roster that allows you to be 51% affiliated to Marvel characters that have been portrayed by an actor who played a character in the Lord of the Rings or The Hobbit movies! Tune in to listen to what happened as Gandalf once said; “The board is set, the pieces are moving. We come to it at last, the great battle of our time.” 

In our 53rd episode we are joined by the newly crowned Grandmaster of 2025, having won the Victoria's Mightiest Heroes Masters event earlier this month, the delightful Lee Hardham! Lee returns to our podcast to shed some light on his Masters run, and to talk in detail about a staple of his winning roster, the Master Martial Artist himself, the masked man with the glowing knuckles, Iron Fist!

In our 52nd episode we are joined by our third yet likely not final Dave, that of the Hunsdale variety, who comes to tell us why taking Rhino for a mere 4 threat Is A Robbery! Press play to hear why this hyper mobile, bumbling doofus is a must play MCP model!
